        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.

        A Delicious History of Ukraine

        by Masha Serdiuk

        What is Ukrainian cuisine? Who invented borscht? Where did the holubtsi (cabbage rolls) come from? And why are Ukrainian varenyky (dumplings) called relatives of Chinese dim sums? Answers to these questions can be found in this book. In an interesting accessible form, we tell children the history of the Ukrainian gastronomy. They will find out what famous Ukrainians loved to eat. We will explain in a plain way how the cuisine of Halychyna differs from that of Volyn and Polissya regions. We will also map all the “delicious” places in the country. Furthermore, of course, young readers will learn how to cook cult Ukrainian dishes.

        Patty Pan Compote

        by Olha Kari

        "Patty Pan Compote" is a series of reportage sketches and essays describing how a whole generation of Ukrainians lived amidst the chaos of declining Soviet Union. This book is about what it was like to live in the 90's, when "pineapple" compote was cooked from the patty pat and eggplant became the substitute for mushrooms, when everyone was gripped by a total knitting obsession due to the lack of clothes. People grew accustomed to stockpiling absolutely everything, and the first sanitary pads have just begun to change the lives of Ukrainian women. Based on her own recollections, the author tells how the punitive gastronomy of that time worked, how the pseudo-brotherly relations with other Soviet republics often manifested themselves and how Abkhazia hosted Ukrainian schoolchildren a few months before the war between Georgia and Abkhazia.

        The Falling of Cardinal Points

        by Luis Fayad Naffah

        “The sayid Abderrahud spoke of the fortune that his son was going to seek, but warned him that he was thinking not only of the fortune of money but above all of tranquility and joy”. La caída de los puntos cardinales dares to imagine the journey of a group of Lebanese teenagers who, by chance, arrive in Colombia at the end of the 19th century. Traversed by a series of violent conflicts on both sides of the ocean, by the adaptation to life in the cities, the slow and confusing consolidation of the State, and the longing for technical and industrial progress, the novel accompanies the characters as they establish themselves in the social and commercial sphere of Bogota's middle class. In this story converge the different ways in which love matures and the friendships of those who migrate grow around the table and the game. For the characters, the learning and stumbling blocks of living in another language intermingle with the urgencies of the present, and the ties with the country of origin cool down and become knotted again in the nostalgia for the passing of time and the longing to live the best life possible. The impact of Lebanese migration to Colombia is in the language, manners and gastronomy of different parts of the country, but the stories of those who crossed the sea and made it their new home are not part of our everyday knowledge. This novel by Luis Fayad reminds us of the power of those lives, in Puerto Colombia and Teusaquillo, in Valle del Cauca and carrera séptima in Bogotá, with a subtle and sharp writing, to integrate them back into an idea of country.”

        Niche Tourism and Sustainability

        Perspectives, Practices and Prospects

        by Anna Farmaki, Pramendra Singh, Viana Hassan

        Niche tourism, also known as special interest tourism, refers to specialized tourism products offered to a small group of tourists. Examples include ecotourism, rural tourism, birdwatching tourism, dark tourism and motorcycle tourism. Regarded as the antidote to mass tourism, niche tourism has become particularly popular in recent years as a tourism developmental option that can address the problems caused by mass tourism including overtourism. It is commonly acknowledged that niche tourism fosters responsible tourism practices, minimizes negative tourism impacts and helps preserve the environment and culture of destinations; thereby, promoting sustainability in tourism. Likewise, niche tourism seems to be better equipped to address the needs and preferences of today's sophisticated and diverse tourist market. Despite these advantages, niche tourism development faces challenges such as overlap with mass tourism due to growing numbers of visitors, promotion of products that are not environmentally friendly and limited economic benefits being directed to the local community. This book is a collection of 12 conceptual and empirical chapters presenting niche tourism cases from around the world. It examines tourist behaviour and experiences, resident perspectives, implementation practices and future prospects, and contributes to the debate on tourism development and sustainability.

        La Dolce Vita

        by Gaio Sciloni

        La Dolce Vita - la Cuisine Régionale Italienne  par Gaio Sciloni Gaio Sciloni, célèbre écrivain né en Italie, a offert au lecteur israélien bon nombre d’excellentes traductions des oeuvres d’auteurs et de poètes italiens classiques. Il a consacré plusieurs années d’études à la préparation d’un guide culturel et culinaire, intitulé la Dolce Vita qui fera le bonheur de tous les amoureux de l’Italie. La Dolce Vita n’est pas seulement un livre de cuisine ordinaire, mais plutôt une revue systématique de l’Italie, du Nord au Sud, chaque région étant caractérisée par son paysage, ses traditions et son folklore, et par dessus tout, par sa micro-culture culinaire. Gaio Sciloni, suivant en cela les idées du célèbre auteur italien Pellegrino Artusi, croit lui aussi que la culture locale est inséparable de la cuisine locale. En fait Sciloni ne s’est pas contenté de puiser dans sa très vaste culture dans le domaine de la gastronomie italienne, mais il a étudié un large éventail de sources éthniques. La Dolce Vita a eu le privilège d’être préfacée par le Prof. Franco Massaia, Conseiller Principal du Ministère Italien des Affaires Etrangères pour les Relations Culturelles Internationales dans la région Méditerranée. Les Editions Tamar ont publié une version en hébreu de la Dolce Vita, dans une élégante édition bichrome de 256 pages en format 24x17cm, et celle-ci a connu un très grand succès. Une second édition a d’ailleurs déja été publiée. Le livre est rehaussé d’illustrations, fondées sur des représentations du folklore culinaire régional à travers l’Art italien ancien. Si la possibilité de publier une édition en français de cet ouvrage ou un projet de co-édition vous intéresse, veuillez nous contacter. C'est avec plaisir que nous vous ferons parvenir une documentation supplémentaire.
