        Roman

        by Adolfo Bioy Casares, Peter Schwaar

        Adolfo Bioy Casares wurde am 15. September 1914 in Buenos Aires (Argentinien) geboren. 1932 lernte er im Haus der Essayistin und Literaturkritikerin Victoria Ocampo Jorge Luis Borges kennen und zwei Jahre darauf seine spätere Frau Silvina Ocampo, die ihn gemeinsam mit Borges überzeugte, sein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften und der Philosophie aufzugeben und sich ganz der Literatur zu widmen. 1940 veröffentlichte er La invención de Morel (dt. Morels Erfindung, Neuübersetzung von 2003), sein wohl bekanntester Roman und inzwischen ein Klassiker der phantastischen Literatur. 1954, das Jahr in dem seine einzige Tochter, Marta, geboren wurde, veröffentlichte er El sueño de los héroes (dt. Der Traum der Helden), einen seiner durch Thematik, Sprach- und Lokalkolorit 'argentinischen' Romane. Unter den gemeinsamen Pseudonymen H. Bustos Domecq und B. Suárez Lynch verfaßte er mit Borges zusammen zahlreiche Erzählungen, unter anderem die Kriminalgeschichten Seis problemas para don Isidro Parodi (dt. Sechs Aufgaben für Don Isidro Parodi). 1990 erhielt Bioy Casares den bedeutendsten Literaturpreis der spanischsprachigen Welt: den Premio Cervantes. Er starb 1999 in Buenos Aires.

        Die Chroniken des Kantors

        Roman

        by Alvaro Cunqueiro, Elke Wehr

        Eine äußerst lebhafte Gesellschaft ist es, die den Kantor und Bombardinspieler Charles Anne Guenolé Mathieu de Crozon in ihrer Kutsche zu einer Beerdigung abholt. Merkwürdig nur, daß sie dann die frische Leiche als ihresgleichen begrüßen. Hurtig geht es über die Wege einer von Revolutionsliedern widerhallenden Bretagne, worin das Licht der Aufklärung alle Gespenster der alten Welt mitsamt ihren schönsten Reizen und Rätseln zum - seinerseits nicht unangefochtenen - Teufel schicken möchte. Der Kantor aber und seine fröhliche Horde genußsüchtiger Toter besichtigen nicht ohne Wehmut ihre Welt in Ruinen.

        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.

        Indigenous Knowledge

        Enhancing its Contribution to Natural Resources Management

        by Paul Sillitoe, Andrew Ainslie, Kojo Amanor, Jeff Bentley, Samara Brock, Stephen Brush, David A Cleveland, Luisa Cortesi, Michael R Dove, Romain Duda, Roy Ellen, James Fairhead, Álvaro Fernández-Llamazares, James Fraser, Sandrine Gallois, Chris Hebdon, Patricia Howard, Samuel Guindo, Sascha Huditz, Amy Leigh Johnson, Alder Keleman, J Stephen Lansing, Melissa Leach, Rosalinda Hidalgo Ledesma, Johannes Lehmann, Francis Michael Ludlow, Doyle McKey, Citlalli López Binnqüist, Paul Van Mele, Tom van Mourik, Lars Otto Naess, Florencia G Palis, Fortunata Panzo Panzo, Victoria Reyes García, Delphine Renard, Gede Sedana, Christopher Shepherd, Paul Sillitoe, Daniela Soleri, Dawit Solomon, Sidi Toure, Thérèse de Vet, Wayan Windia, Gérard Zoundji

        Indigenous Knowledge (IK) reviews cutting-edge research and links theory with practice to further our understanding of this important approach's contribution to natural resource management. It addresses IK's potential in solving issues such as coping with change, ensuring global food supply for a growing population, reversing environmental degradation and promoting sustainable practices. It is increasingly recognised that IK, which has featured centrally in resource management for millennia, should play a significant part in today's programmes that seek to increase land productivity and food security while ensuring environmental conservation. By drawing together strands of biocultural diversity research into natural resources management, this book: - Provides an overview of conceptual issues around IK and its contributions to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation; - Addresses key themes via case studies from bioculturally diverse regions of the world; - Displays a wide range of methodologies and outlines a possible agenda to guide future work. An invaluable resource for researchers and postgraduate students in environmental science and natural resources management, this book is also an informative read for development practitioners and undergraduates in agriculture, forestry, geography, anthropology and environmental studies.
