Sport & leisure industriesJune 2002Tourist as a Metaphor of the Social World
by Graham M S Dann
This book contains a selection of papers from the prestigious Research Committee on International Tourism presented at the World Congress of the International Sociological Association, Brisbane, Australia, July 2002. It provides a sociological and anthropological critique of existing tourism theory as well as some directions for its future development and research. While much of the present understanding of the tourist and tourism is grounded in metaphor (e.g. tourism as a sacred journey, tourism as play, the tourist as a child, etc.) such analogies need to be linked to transformations in tourism generating and receiving societies. Hence the focus on the tourist and everyday life, socio-psychological dimensions of the tourist experience, the tourist and conflicting expectations, and the tourist in a changing world.

by Nena Tramountani, Moon Notes, Lea Melcher
Giulietta erwacht in einem mysteriösen Zimmer im Grand Hotel in Venedig, ohne zu wissen, was mit ihr geschehen ist. Nach und nach kommt sie zu der erschreckenden Erkenntnis, dass sie in eine Tarotfigur verwandelt wurde und nun über besondere Fähigkeiten verfügt. Diese Gabe bringt jedoch nicht nur Vorteile mit sich, denn ihr rachsüchtiger Onkel macht ihr das Leben schwer, indem er andere Kartenfiguren gegen sie aufbringt. Er verbreitet die Lüge, dass Giulietta die Macht besitzt, sie alle für immer in die Karten zu verbannen, was dazu führt, dass sich Giulietta in einer Welt voller Misstrauen und Verrat wiederfindet.

Die Geschichte entfaltet sich in einer Atmosphäre voller Magie und Geheimnisse, in der die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Tarot verschwimmen.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017The Arctic in the British imagination 1818–1914
by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Rob David
The Arctic region has been the subject of much popular writing. This book considers nineteenth-century representations of the Arctic, and draws upon an extensive range of evidence that will allow the 'widest connections' to emerge from a 'cross-disciplinary analysis' using different methodologies and subject matter. It positions the Arctic alongside more thoroughly investigated theatres of Victorian enterprise. In the nineteenth century, most images were in the form of paintings, travel narratives, lectures given by the explorers themselves and photographs. The book explores key themes in Arctic images which impacted on subsequent representations through text, painting and photography. For much of the nineteenth century, national and regional geographical societies promoted exploration, and rewarded heroic endeavor. The book discusses images of the Arctic which originated in the activities of the geographical societies. The Times provided very low-key reporting of Arctic expeditions, as evidenced by its coverage of the missions of Sir John Franklin and James Clark Ross. However, the illustrated weekly became one of the main sources of popular representations of the Arctic. The book looks at the exhibitions of Arctic peoples, Arctic exploration and Arctic fauna in Britain. Late nineteenth-century exhibitions which featured the Arctic were essentially nostalgic in tone. The Golliwogg's Polar Adventures, published in 1900, drew on adult representations of the Arctic and will have confirmed and reinforced children's perceptions of the region. Text books, board games and novels helped to keep the subject alive among the young.

November 2021Cards of Love 1. Die Magie des Todes
by Nena Tramountani, Moon Notes, Lea Melcher
Giulietta, frisch mit der Schule fertig und leidenschaftlich an Tarotkarten interessiert, steht an einem entscheidenden Punkt in ihrem Leben. Ihre Welt gerät aus den Fugen, als sie die Nachricht vom Tod ihres geliebten Vaters erhält – ausgerechnet in Venedig, einer Stadt, vor der er sie stets gewarnt hatte. Entschlossen, die Wahrheit hinter seinem mysteriösen Unfalltod zu ergründen, ignoriert Giulietta die Warnungen ihres Vaters und zieht nach Venedig. Dort findet sie Unterschlupf im Grand Hotel ihres Onkels Vincenzo, doch schnell wird klar, dass in diesem Hotel und der Stadt selbst Geheimnisse lauern, die tiefer gehen als sie je vermutet hätte. Merkwürdige Schauspieler und der geheimnisvolle Malvolio ziehen sie immer tiefer in ein Netz aus Magie, Intrigen und einem jahrhundertealten Familiengeheimnis. In der atmosphärischen Kulisse Venedigs, wo Magie und Realität verschwimmen, kämpft Giulietta nicht nur darum, die Geheimnisse ihres eigenen Erbes zu entschlüsseln, sondern auch darum, sich selbst und ihre Fähigkeiten in der Tarotkunst zu finden. Ihre Suche führt sie auf einen gefährlichen Pfad, auf dem jede Entscheidung, jedes gezogene Tarotkarte sie näher an die Wahrheit hinter dem Tod ihres Vaters – und an die dunklen Geheimnisse ihrer Familie – bringt. Dabei ist nicht nur ihr eigenes Schicksal ungewiss, sondern auch das der Menschen, die sie zu lieben beginnt. Mit jeder Karte, die sie legt, offenbart sich eine neue Schicht der Verschwörung, die sie und die Stadt Venedig umgibt. Faszinierende Mischung aus Magie und Moderne, eingebettet in das atmosphärische Venedig, bietet eine einzigartige Kulisse für eine packende Geschichte. Die Kunst des Tarot spielt eine zentrale Rolle in dieser magischen Dilogie, verwebt mit einem jahrhundertealten Familiengeheimnis, das Leserinnen und Leser bis zur letzten Seite fesselt. Starke und tiefgründige Protagonistin, die im Kampf um Wahrheit und Selbstfindung über sich hinauswächst und für ihre Überzeugungen einsteht. Spannende und mysteriöse Handlung, die mit unerwarteten Wendungen und dunklen Geheimnissen die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Magie verwischt. Ein lebendiger Cast aus charismatischen Nebenfiguren und geheimnisvollen Schauspielern, die das Leserherz im Sturm erobern und für zusätzliche Spannung sorgen. Emotional geladene Storyline, die neben der fesselnden Hauptgeschichte auch Raum für erste Liebe und persönliche Rebellion gegen familiäre Erwartungen bietet. Band 1 einer mitreißenden Dilogie, die nicht nur Fantasy-Fans begeistern wird, sondern auch Leserinnen und Leser, die nach einer Geschichte mit Tiefgang und einer starken weiblichen Hauptfigur suchen.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2021Passing into the present
Contemporary American fiction of racial and gender passing
by Sinead Moynihan
This book is the first full-length study of contemporary American fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. The book accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of "black" subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then, is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and authorship. The title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in contemporary American fiction.
