        Das Trinkgelage oder Über den Eros

        by Platon, Ute Schmidt-Berger, Ute Schmidt-Berger, Jochen Schmidt, Ute Schmidt-Berger

        Das von Platon in einem seiner Meisterdialoge inszenierte Trinkgelage handelt vom Eros. Es ist die ideale Gelegenheit für inspirierte Reden über die Liebe: über die sinnliche ebenso wie über die geistige, ›platonische‹, die sich bis zur Idee des Schönen sublimiert.

        Tourism, heritage and commodification of non-human animals
        November 2023

        Tourism, heritage and commodification of non-human animals

        a post-humanist reflection

        by Álvaro López-López, Gino Jafet Quintero Venegas, Carol Kline, Tomas Arias, Jean Azcatl Pineda, Alicia Mariana Penélope Castro Pérez, Bobbie Chew Bigby, Émilie Crossley, Johan Edelheim, Georgina Flores, Carolin Funck, Leonardo Garavito-González, Yulei Guo, Jes Hooper, Brenda Martínez Velasco, Alejandro Morales, Gustavo Ortiz-Millán, Mateo Nicolás Rico Medina, Jorge Iván Ruiz Barrera, Javed Salim, Estephania Sepúlveda Perdomo, Rie Usui, David A. Varela-Trejo, Nusrat Yasmeen

        Heritage is a social construction rooted in modern and contemporary societies. It is commonly a positive assessment of many elements of the physical and human environment (e.g. ecosystems and landscapes, monuments, customs, gender norms, religious practices, gastronomy, and livelihoods). Heritage and tourism are strongly related to each other in that heritage gives rise to tourist attractions and activities, and tourism enhances the designation of heritage sites. Non-human animals (hereafter 'animals') are present as implicit or explicit heritage elements through multiple tourist environments: animals may be themselves the heritage focus of tourist interest (visual arts, gastronomy, as charismatic and distinguished beings, as part of festivities or rituals), or it may be that animals are agents involved in heritage tourist environments such as working animals or in recreational activities. A post-humanist perspective the moral valuation of equality between humans and other animals demands that both are sentient beings and self-aware of their pain and pleasure. Thus, the involvement of animals as heritage elements by themselves or as an element of tourist consumption in heritage sites implies their commodification and lack of agency. As such, these practices are usually unethical, since they threaten the animals' primary interests: not to suffer, not to feel pain and to be able to live their freedom. This book contains chapters that reveal both the unethical interactions between humans and animals within heritage tourism, and those that show experiences in which efforts are made to minimize damage within the commercialization of animals involved as heritage themselves. It will be of interest to postgraduate students, academics, NGOs and tourism planners.

        The Elephant Tourism Business

        by Eric Laws, Noel Scott, Xavier Font, John Koldowski

        Elephant tourism is a growing attraction in many countries across Asia and Africa and is popular with tourists from many origins. As elephants are no longer used in the logging industry in Asia, elephant tourism has grown rapidly, providing the only viable way that elephants and their owners can generate income. Old logging camps were developed into sanctuaries for some elephants, but many other camps were established as entertainment centres, with various welfare issues resulting for the elephants and their mahouts. The profits from elephant tourism in Asia have encouraged African operators to follow a similar business model. This book draws attention to the need for a comprehensive and rigorous focus on local solutions to improve the welfare of captive elephants and tourists' experiences of elephant tourism, to the benefit of local communities by: Critically reviewing recent research into elephant tourism Providing contemporary analytical case studies of elephant tourism policy and practice Identifying future research priorities The Elephant Tourism Business will contribute to a better understanding of how elephant tourism is organised, regulated and promoted, both in tourist origin countries and in elephant areas. It identifies priorities for future research into elephant tourism and provides a unique, authoritative resource for researchers, elephant managers and administrators, and tourism managers in this developing area of international concern. The book will be of interest to academics and practitioners with backgrounds in conservation, environment, tourism and veterinary sciences.

        Goethes Eros
        December 2008

        Goethes Eros

        by Christa Bürger

        Dichtung und Wahrheit, Leben und Werk – dem Geständnis des alten Goethe, in seinen Texten sei mehr Leben niedergelegt, als man ihnen gewöhnlich ansehe, geht Christa Bürger in Goethes Eros nach. Sie folgt dem wunderbaren Geflecht von literarischen und realen Figuren, die sich ineinander spiegeln. Es wird sichtbar, was dieses Leben und dieses Werk antreibt: »Goethes Eros«. Christa Bürgers spannende und engagierte Untersuchung zeigt einen Klassiker, der sich von lebenden Personen inspirieren ließ, um seine literarischen Figuren Leben und Liebe einzuhauchen: So bedingen sich die Schwester Cornelia und die weiße Dame, Friederike zeigt sich als Gretchen oder Käthchen, Helena hat Züge von Schwiegertochter Ottilie. Christa Bürger, geboren 1935, war von 1973 bis 1998 Professorin am Institut für deutsche Sprache und Literatur an der Universität Frankfurt.

        The History and Evolution of Tourism

        The History and Evolution of Tourism

        by Prokopis A Christou

        This book provides an overview of the history and evolution of tourism to the present, and speculates on possible and probable change into the future. It discusses significant travel, tourism and hospitality events while referring to tourism-related notions and theories that have been developed since the beginnings of tourism. Even so, its scope moves beyond simply a detailed historical account of facts and events from the past and attempts to bridge these with contemporary issues, challenges and concerns, so that readers can connect tourism past with the present and future, which helps with decision making and even the development of new theories. Despite its academic orientation, the book is written in an approachable style enabling a clear and solid understanding of how tourism has evolved through the centuries. It uses several practitioner-linked, real-life examples and case studies derived from organisations and enterprises across all aspects of the tourism, travel and events industries. This book will be of great interest to academics, practitioners and students from a wide variety of disciplines, including tourism, hospitality, and events, sociology, psychology and human geography.

        Tourist Destinations: Structure and Synthesis

        Tourist Destinations: Structure and Synthesis

        by Douglas G Pearce, Ali Thompson

        Destinations are a central feature of tourism and the focus of much tourism research. Destinations have been studied from diverse perspectives using multiple concepts and a range of approaches. As a result, destination research today has become increasingly fragmented as studies have become more specialized. There is a need for a more integrated approach, one which systematically draws together these different research threads to provide a comprehensive and coherent picture and a fuller understanding of destinations, their structure and how they function. This book provides such a synthesis by critically reviewing a wide range of international research and incorporating in one volume many different facets of destinations from studies which have appeared in related but often divergent literatures. Conceptual and methodological issues are illustrated with empirical examples from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Oceania. This material is drawn together around two major structural themes: spatial and organizational structure. Spatial structure concerns the physical location, distribution, configuration and inter-connectedness of products, services and actors and the factors which underlie the resultant patterns of these. Organizational structure focuses on the diverse configurations and the ways in which multiple actors, collectively and individually, come together, interact and behave to produce the experiences sought by tourists. The originality and contribution of this work lies in the systematic examination and combination of these two themes across destinations from the national to the local scale. This integrated approach provides fresh insights, produces a comprehensive understanding of destinations and identifes avenues for future research.

        Emerging Voices for Animals in Tourism

        Emerging Voices for Animals in Tourism

        by Jes Hooper, Carol Kline

        While the study of animal-human interactions within the context of tourism has been explored in a greater number and diversity of ways within the last decade, the discourse remains divided between traditional tourism academia and outside disciplines 'looking in'. Tourism academia has borrowed philosophical, ethical, gender studies, sociological, ecological conservation, and economic lenses to explore animals in tourism, however collaboration with authors external to tourism studies remains few. This edited volume strengthens the bridge between tourism academia and other disciplines by highlighting the fresh perspectives, emerging methodologies and innovative interdisciplinary conventions at the forefront of animals in tourism research, whilst critically working towards more ethical human-animal interactions within the tourism and leisure space. Split into four parts 'emerging motivations', 'emerging cultures', 'emerging narratives', and 'emerging reflections', this book offers readers a rich text grounded in progressive scholarly praxis including: * Research focussed on a wide range of animal taxa, geographic locations, and touristic contexts to help move the conversation toward multi-faceted solutions. * An eclectic selection of methodological approaches from multispecies ethnography to storytelling, literary and media analyses and participant survey that showcases the emerging interdisciplinary practices. * Representation of emerging voices from various fields and disciplines around the world. This unique text will be widely applicable to scholars working towards equitable human-animal interactions within tourism.

        Tourism Behaviour

        Travellers' Decisions and Actions

        by Edited by Roger StG March, Arch G Woodside

        Consumers' planned behaviour is often very different to what is actually carried out. Consumer plans can relate to four behaviours: planned and done (deliberate strategies), planned and not done (unrealized strategies), unplanned and done (emergent strategies) and unplanned and not done (unused strategies). This book examines alternative theories and the empirical testing of how planning relates to doing. It considers tourist spending, length of stay, attractions, destinations, accommodation and activities and looks at how marketing strategies affect consumer plans.

        Tourism and Welfare

        Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainable Well-being

        by D Hall, Frances Brown

        The concept of welfare is a somewhat neglected area within tourism studies, despite the continued growth of interest in key issues such as ethics, tourist safety, employee's well-being, human rights, ethnocentrism, cultural sensitivity and behaviour codes, green consumerism, and the perceptions of management of 'sustainability'. This book provides an explanation, definition and a critique of welfare and a welfare approach covering these issues. Chapters cover the welfare of tourists, employees in the tourism industry, residents in tourism destinations, animals as tourist attractions and the natural environment.

        Giants of Tourism

        by Edited by Richard W Butler, Roslyn Russell

        The development of tourism and its associated elements owes much to the efforts of individuals. Many of them left imprints on tourism, through their innovations, promotion or insight, that have continued long after they have departed the scene. This volume consists of essays by experts in their fields on individuals who have influenced tourism over many hundreds of years of travel: development of destinations, services and accommodation, creation of transportation links and attractions, tourist behaviour, innovations in the era of large scale tourism and establishment of future trends.
