        Tristan Island

        Roman

        by Erich Wolfgang Skwara

        Der österreichische Diplomat Dr. Anselm Traurig verbrachte seine ereignislose Dienstzeit in Afrika vor einer Karte des Südatlantiks, auf der er eines Tages Tnstan Island entdeckte – die entlegenste bewohnte Insel der Welt. Er vergaffte sich in die Insel. Er hatte endlos Zeit, von ihr zu träumen. Klein war sie und in der Mitte gelegen – wie Österreich, dessen armselige Realität ihn schmerzte. Auf dieser Insel wäre der Traum einer anarchistischen Glücksgemeinschaft fast in Erfüllung gegangen. Jahre später zur Vertretung an die Pariser Botschaft seines Landes entsandt, beschwor Traurig mit seinem resoluten Versuch, größte Nähe zu einem geliebten Menschen herzustellen, eine Katastrophe herauf. Seither lebt der in den vorzeitigen Ruhestand Versetzte in Südkalifornien, als »Legationsrat in Ruhe«. Am liebsten sitzt er auf der Terrasse eines italienischen Restaurants mit Blick auf den Pazifik. In seine träumende Betrachtung des Meers stehlen sich Überlegungen, wie Tristan Island aus dem Südatlantik in den Pazifik zu schleppen wäre, an den Rand des Blickfelds, in greifbare Nähe. In Gedanken rüstet er eine Expedition aus, stellt er eine Schiffsbesatzung zusammen, trifft er bereits seine Auswahl unter den Ballspielern am Strand...

        Blackout Island

        Roman

        by Sigríður Hagalín Björnsdóttir, Tina Flecken

        Was passiert, wenn ein ganzes Land plötzlich von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten ist? Die Ressourcen knapp werden? Nicht alle überleben können? Die Menschen zu Selbstversorgern werden, Eltern ihre Kinder suchen, die in Banden hungernd durchs Land irren. Milizen marodieren. Bürgerkriegsähnliche Verhältnisse herrschen. In einem abgelegenen isländischen Fjord lebt der ehemalige Journalist Hjalti aus Reykjavik unter primitiven Bedingungen auf dem alten Hof seines Großvaters. Er versorgt die Schafe, bewirtschaftet das karge Land und lebt von dem, was er dem Boden und dem Meer abtrotzt. Gesellschaft leistet ihm neben den Schafen nur noch sein Hund. Hjalti führt einen harten Kampf ums Überleben, denn Island ist seit geraumer Zeit von der Außenwelt abgeschottet, seine Lebensgefährtin Maria und deren Kinder von ihm getrennt, ihr Schicksal ungewiss. An den langen, einsamen Abenden protokolliert er die Ereignisse, die zu dieser Situation geführt und die ehrgeizige Innenministerin Elín Olafsdottir dazu gezwungen haben, den Ausnahmezustand auszurufen.

        Tourism Management in Warm-water Island Destinations

        by Michelle McLeod, Robertico R Croes, David Airey, Sheree-Ann Adams, Donna Chambers, Anne P. Crick, Robertico R Croes, Frederic Dimanche, Rachel Dodds, Brigitte Joubert, Michelle McLeod, Jorge Ridderstaat, Manuel Rivera, Michael Sadowski, Neelu Seetaram, Kelly J. Semrad, Noel Scott

        Warm-water islands are a cohesive group of islands distinguished by their geography and remoteness, history as former colonial territories, and dependence on external stakeholders for their economic and social development. Warm-water island destinations also have a year-round tourism industry. These island tourism destinations are facing unprecedented adjustment challenges in the wake of increasing globalization and susceptibility to external shocks, and are in search of appropriate policy responses to that globalization. It is critical for small islands to understand how these challenges affect tourism performance and how they impact their residents. Tourism Management in Warm-water Island Destinations unearths the critical aspects that contribute to tourism development and growth in islands. Particular emphasis is placed on destinations such as the Caribbean, with lessons learned that are applicable to other island tourism contexts in the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean and the Pacific. · Presents emerging research themes and methodology; · Provides insight into factors that result in successful and unsuccessful cases; · Features a focus on Cuba and its reintroduction to the tourism landscape. This book provides a platform for emerging systemic perspectives of the various aspects of island tourism, with the view that strategies for the management and development of tourism in island environments can be improved and will be of interest to those studying and researching within destination management.

        Essays zu Literatur und Kunst

        by Sibylle Lewitscharoff

        »Stellen Sie sich bitte vor: Peter Handke, der Spatzen liebt und ihnen die muntersten, zwitschrigsten Passagen seiner Prosa gewidmet hat, weilte in der Öffentlichkeit als Spatzenschönheit unter uns.« Stellen Sie sich weiter vor: Robert Walser, wie er »vorbildlich gekleidet auf spazierlustigen Beinen« durchs Totenreich wandert. Vielleicht begegnet er dort dem Pilger Dante auf seiner Reise durch die drei Welten des Jenseits, der Erlösung zustrebend. Uns Irdischen begegnet sie als Ahnung in den Altarbildern van Eycks, in den berauschenden Zeichnungen Achilles Rizzolis. »Guten Morgen oder besser: Guten Abend«, begrüßt Sibylle Lewitscharoff die ihr vorausgegangenen Dichter und Künstler. Sie umarmt die Schmerzensmänner Kafka und Beckett, blickt mit Bolaño in den kalten Glutkern der Hölle, findet in den Gemälden Rembrandts einen Quell religiöser Zuversicht, lässt sich kitzeln von Romananfängen und Malweisen und widmet ihnen Essays von solcher Sprachkraft und Erkenntnisfülle, dass »das Hören und Sehen einem nicht vergeht, sondern geschärft wird« (Süddeutsche Zeitung).

        Ausgang aus der langen Nacht

        Versuch über ein entkolonisiertes Afrika

        by Achille Mbembe, Christine Pries

        War die Entkolonialisierung Afrikas nur ein Unfall, ein Kratzen an der Oberfläche, das kurze Aufblitzen einer Zukunft, die zum Scheitern verurteilt war? In seinem mitreißenden Essay zeigt Achille Mbembe, dass jenseits der Krisen und Kriege, die den Kontinent regelmäßig heimsuchen, neue »afropolitane« Gesellschaften entstehen, die sich durch einen anderen Umgang mit Differenzen und mit der Zirkulation von Menschen und Kulturen auszeichnen. Um diese neuen Gesellschaften zu entschlüsseln, zeichnet Mbembe in souveräner Manier und im Rekurs auf seine eigene Lebensgeschichte die afrikanischen Entwicklungen seit dem Beginn der Entkolonialisierung nach. Aber auch die Veränderungen in den postkolonialen Gesellschaften jenseits des Mittelmeers, in Europa, werden in den Blick genommen, denn womöglich haben diese zwar Afrika entkolonialisiert, jedoch nicht sich selbst. Eine solche »Autoentkolonialisierung« ist aber notwendige Voraussetzung, um den Rassismus, die Gewalt und die Ausgrenzung des Anderen zu überwinden. Geschrieben in einer teils kalt-nüchternen, teils glühend-poetischen Sprache, zählt dieses Buch bereits zu den großen Werken des postkolonialen Denkens.

        Requiem for A Holy Island

        Requiem for A Holy Island

        by Zecharia Plavin

        There was a tiny island in the Far East populated by tall, gifted people plagued by malignant ideology and ruled by merciless leaders. However, a noble few were dedicated to peacefully rescuing their people from tyranny and death. Dr. Solomon Jekavpils reads about this unfamiliar place in the diary of the late pianist Adelaide Fourangier. Meanwhile, Solomon's former classmate, Nelly, manipulates him to search for Illirio Mariafels, her lost love. The story spans entire lifetimes in pre-war France, French Saigon, the island, and Paris in the late twentieth century; the diary reveals many crucial personalities. After several setbacks in her life, Fourangier joins the leading liberal islander and devotes her life to teaching piano to children. Life on the island transforms her into a caring human being, inspired pianist, and master tutor. Illirio, her heroic son, can inspire wonderful kindness with his chanting. Fourangier’s diary reveals her unusual family’s secrets and describes the tragic fate of the island and its people. Dr. Zecharia Plavin, a concert pianist and educator, was born in 1956 in Lithuania but has lived in Israel since his youth. He studied under Louis Kentner, the great pianist. Prof. Plavin teaches at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and Ono Academic College. He is an author, composer, scholar, and self-proclaimed dull fellow with no sense of humor… An English-language eBook edition was published in summer 2015 by Samuel Wachtman’s Sons, Inc., CA. 432 pages, 15 x 22 .5cm.

        Islandscapes and Tourism

        An Anthology

        by Joseph M Cheer, Solene Prince, Philip Hayward

        The links between islands and tourism, as sights of pleasure is embodied in the touristification of sun, sand and sea. Islandscapes are central to the tourist imaginaries that shape islands as touristified places - curated, designed and commodified for both mass tourism and more niche inclined versions. Yet while islands are parlayed for touristic pleasure seekers, islands are also home to longstanding communities that have variously battled with the tyranny of distance from metropolitan centres, as well as the everyday challenges of climate change effects, and benefitted from their isolation from modern-day pressures. To what extent are islandscapes resilient to rapidly changing utilities, significances and ways of life wrought by tourism expansion? The vulnerability-resilience duality remains firmly entrenched in the discourse on islands where tourism has become prominent. Although tourism provides some resiliency, overall, islandscapes remain subject to externally driven fast and slow change that exercises an overwhelming influence. This anthology of articles previously published in the journal Shima explores emergent themes that describe how island peoples adapt and respond in localised cultural islandscapes as a consequence of tourism expansion. It is aimed at researchers in island studies, tourism, sustainability, human geography, cultural studies, sociology and anthropology. The anthology will also be of interest to those with an abiding interest in the trajectories of islands and their peoples, particularly where tourism has come to shape islandscapes.
