A Reflection on their Role in Development
by David Harrison
David Harrison has contributed to the academic study of tourism over the last thirty years. This book brings together a collection of his published material that reflects the role played by tourism in 'development,' both in societies emerging from Western colonialism and in societies previously part of the Soviet system. The overarching theme looks at how promoted as a tool for development, tourism can lead to conflict between competing elites, but can also empower groups previously subject to constraint by traditional authorities. Tradition is intensely manipulatable and always reflects power relations. Such pressure on tradition is but one aspect of tourism's wider social impacts, which include changes in economic and social structure which, for many, constitute social problems which need to be addressed. At the same time, 'sustainability,' though apparently a worthy aim, can be a problematic concept, especially when applied to 'traditional' cultures, and may conflict with such ideals as egalitarianism.

May 2000Die verborgene Tradition
Essays
by Hannah Arendt
Innerhalb der lebenslangen Auseinandersetzung Hannah Arendts mit der ›jüdischen Frage‹ kommt der Verborgenen Tradition eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Hannah Arendt versammelte in diesem Band sieben in den dreißiger und vierziger Jahren verfaßte Essays: Über den Imperialismus – Organisierte Schuld – Die verborgene Tradition – Juden in der Welt von gestern – Franz Kafka – Aufklärung und Judenfrage – Der Zionismus aus heutiger Sicht. Jeder dieser Essays ist, wie sie in der vorausgestellten ›Zueignung an Karl Jaspers‹ ausführt, im Bewußtsein des jüdischen Schicksals in diesem Jahrhundert geschrieben. Sich kurz nach der Shoah in Deutschland, in deutscher Sprache zu politischen, historischen und literarischen Themen aus jüdischer Perspektive zu äußern ist für sie keineswegs selbstverständlich. Der Essayband ist das Zeugnis ihrer frühen Entscheidung, dennoch von jüdischer Seite aus zu der nach 1945 in Deutschland beginnenden Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit beizutragen. Die verborgene Tradition erschien erstmals 1976 im Suhrkamp Verlag. Die Sammlung geht zum größeren Teil zurück auf die erste Buchveröffentlichung Hannah Arendts im Nachkriegsdeutschland, Sechs Essays (1948).

October 2000Die philosophische Aktualität der jüdischen Tradition
by Werner Stegmaier
In diesem Band, in dem alle relevanten geisteswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen vertreten sind, wird das Denken der jüdischen Tradition nicht mehr wie gewohnt an den Rationalitätskriterien des philosophisch-wissenschaftlichen Denkens gemessen, unter denen es dann willkürlich und irrational erscheint, sondern selbst zum Horizont der Kritik gemacht. Ziel ist es, von den namhaftesten Vertretern der jüdischen Tradition her das europäische Denken zur Besinnung über seine Grundentscheidungen zu bringen.

December 1984Die verborgene Tradition
Acht Essays
by Hannah Arendt, Friedrich Griese
Kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erschienen sechs Essays von Hannah Arendt über politisch-soziologische und philosophisch-literarische Themen, geschrieben im Bewußtsein der Zeit, das ein Bewußtsein des jüdischen Schicksals war: Über die organisierte Schuld, den Imperialismus, die Existenzphilosophie, über die verborgene Tradition eines Heine, Kafka, Chaplin oder Stefan Zweig. »Es fällt heute einem Juden nicht leicht, in Deutschland zu veröffentlichen, und sei er ein Jude deutscher Sprache. Angesichts dessen, was geschehen ist, zählt die Verführung, seine eigene Sprache wieder schreiben zu dürfen, wahrhaftig nicht, obwohl dies die einzige Heimkehr aus dem Exil ist, die man nie ganz aus den Träumen verbannen kann«, so definiert Hannah Arendt in einer dem Band vorgestellten Zueignung an ihren Lehrer Karl Jaspers die Situation, aus der heraus sie spontan und zwingend Stellung bezieht. Die Aufsätze dieses bisher nicht mehr erschienenen »Buches seiner Zeit« sind für die vorliegende Ausgabe um zwei Aufsätze über die Aufklärung und die Jugendfrage (in neuer Übersetzung aus dem Englischen) erweitert.

Health & Personal DevelopmentEncounter
by Fer Broca
In these times of change and transformation, we have faced, individually and collectively, our deepest fears, discovering how vulnerable and fragile we are. The technological revolution that has drastically altered our way of communicating, the risks of climate change, the ongoing pandemic, and the resurgence of fear from a continental-scale war remind us of the illusory nature of control and the fragility of our sense of security. "Encuentro" is a response to our new vulnerability: a voice that speaks, shouts, or whispers what the ancient memory of peoples has passed down to us. Through shamanic practices applicable to daily life and a simple yet profound presentation of the basic principles of this ancestral wisdom, Fer Broca teaches us how to merge our personal experiences and face our fears with the help of a living tradition that is constantly evolving. This book is both personal and social, informative and inspiring, practical and introspective, designed to help us find meaning in times of crisis.
