        Frederik

        Erzählung

        by Kurt Aebli

        So klassisch wie das Thema, so unverwechselbar ist diese Prosa. Kurt Aebli berichtet von einer Person, die verschwindet. Prosaminiaturen von traurig-komischer Aura haben diesen Erzähler bekannt gemacht, seine Wahrnehmungsschärfe, seine treffsicheren Provokationen durch das Unspektakuläre wurden als „Aeblifizierungen des Alltags“ beschrieben. Und seine hohe Kunst der Tarnung und Täuschung führt Kurt Aebli auch in seiner Erzählung Frederik verstörend vor. Wer ist Frederik? Was ist uns eine Person, wenn sie plötzlich nicht mehr da ist? In drei Kapiteln wirft Kurt Aebli drei Blicke auf seine rätselhafte Figur Frederik, um nach und nach die Blende dieser Prosa der Ausdeutung schärfer stellen zu können. Zunächst reist Frederiks Freundin Yvette von Zürich nach New York, trifft dort nur Paul, den Freund von Frederik, und irrt zunehmend verlorener durch die Riesenstadt. Schließlich begegnen wir Paul in Zürich und dann Frederik flanierend in Berlin. In ständiger und raffinierter Verschiebung von Blick, Zeit und Ort und in einer Sprache, die zwischen Ironie und Witz, kühler Beobachtung und philosophierender Selbstbespiegelung sich spielerisch zu bewegen weiß, können wir Leser bemerken: Das Verschwinden kann schwierig sein.

        The Host Gaze in Global Tourism

        by Edited by Omar Moufakkir, Yvette Reisinger

        Most tourism theories have been developed from the tourists' perspective, including the seminal work by John Urry, 'The Tourist Gaze', which is now a classic text. The Host Gaze in Global Tourism is a unique book for researchers and students as it is the first to look at the host gaze from within the host community. It discusses how the gaze is constructed, how it has developed, how it varies between countries and how the tourism industry can affect it. By looking at the gazes of both Western and non-Western hosts, this book analyses the dynamics of a host destination and consequences the gaze can have upon the tourist.

        Sozialer Raum und »Klassen«

        Zwei Vorlesungen

        by Pierre Bourdieu, Bernd Schwibs, Yvette Delsaut

        Die Konstruktion einer angemessenen Theorie des sozialen Raumes setzt den Bruch mit einer Reihe marxistischer Theoreme voraus: zunächst mit einer ›substantialistischen‹ Konzeption der sozialen Gruppen; dann mit der intellektualistischen Illusion, die vom Wissenschaftler entworfenen Gruppen ließen sich im Realen identifizieren; drittens mit der ökonomistischen Reduktion des sozialen Raumes auf die ökonomischen Produktionsverhältnisse, das heißt der Unterschlagung der symbolischen Auseinandersetzung um die Repräsentation (in) der sozialen Welt. – Der Text ist die erweiterte Fassung eines Vortrages, den Bourdieu zur Eröffnung der «Suhrkamp Vorlesungen für Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften« im Februar 1984 in Frankfurt gehalten hat. Der zweite Text – Bourdieus Antrittsvorlesung am Collège de France vom April 1982 – ist das paradoxe Unternehmen, mit der Autorität des Vortragenden autoritativ vorzutragen, was es heißt, mit Autorität vorzutragen.

        by Derek R Hall

        With 29 contributors from across Europe and beyond, this work represents a unique and important resource that examines the many relationships between tourism and geopolitics, with a focus on experiences drawn from Central and Eastern Europe.
