        What Grows in the Park

        by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna

        This is a little story about big things like growing up in a community, appreciating similarities and differences in people around us, and discovering one's own identity in order to be happy. But it is also about learning how to recognize trees in a park and know them by their leaves, fruits and flowers — a little bit of eco-education conveyed in a very playful, fairy-tale manner. A sprout grows in a park and looks attentively at the trees around it — the birch, oak, maple, sycamore, chesnut, poplar tree, willow, and ginkgo — trying to discern its own identity by comparing itself to them, getting to know who is who, and figuring out whom it resembles. Because “happiness is having someone like you as a friend”.

        Tourism Transformations in Protected Area Gateway Communities

        by Susan L Slocum, Peter Wiltshier, John Basil Read IV, Dorothee Bohn, Andrea Zita Botelho, Kelly S. Bricker, Robert S. Bristow, Karina H. Casimiro, Rosa Suárez Chaparro, Ana Cristina Costa, Kynda R. Curtis, Margaret J. Daniels, Edieser Dela Santa, C. Michael Hall, Manuel Ramón Gonzalez Herrera, Russell M. Hicks, Julie Judkins, N. Qwynne Lackey, Natalya Lawrence, Gustavo C. X. M. P. Machado, Gianna Moscardo, Jake Powell, Sidnei Raimundo, Mary Anne Ramos-Tumanan, Milena Manhães Rodrigues, Chris Ryan, Renato de Oliveira dos Santos, Jessica A. Schottanes, Ole R. Sleipness, Maria Anunciação Ventura, Therez B. Walker

        Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on tourism. Specific features of this book include: · Focus on transformations, which provides insight into the complex and dynamic nature of gateway communities. · Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural insights into protected area management. · Applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.

        Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern

        Roman

        by Camila Sosa Villada

        Hass verjagt Camila von zu Hause. Sie geht in die Stadt, auf der Suche nach einem Ort, an dem sie feiern kann, was sie ist: trans. Sie trifft ihresgleichen, wird Teil einer Wahlfamilie aus Prostituierten und Marginalisierten. Und gemeinsam feiern sie: die Liebe, den Rausch, im Widerstand gegen eine Gesellschaft, die sie verachtet. Lebensgeschichte, Roman, Märchen, Manifest – Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern erzählt von der Freude am Leben gegen alle Widerstände, von Zugehörigkeit, von Befreiung und der alles entscheidenden Macht der Fantasie. Tief in der argentinischen Provinz ist es gefährlich, anders zu sein. Wer sich nicht einordnet, bekommt schnell Gewalt zu spüren, zuallererst vom eigenen Vater. Bei Camila war das nicht anders und es blieb nur die Flucht, nach Córdoba in die Anonymität der Stadt. Doch Camila will kein Opfer sein, sich nicht vorschreiben lassen, wo ihr Platz in der Gesellschaft ist. Im Park Sarmiento begegnet sie eines Nachts einer Schar Gleichgesinnter, schillernde Paradiesvögel, mit denen Camila fortan alles teilt: den Schnaps, die Träume, die Freier, Drogen und Demütigungen. Sie werden zu Schwestern in einem Märchen, zu Verbündeten im scheinbar aussichtslosen Kampf um Selbstbestimmung und Lebensfreude als Transsexuelle in Lateinamerika.

        In einem fremden Park

        Gartengedichte

        by Rainer Maria Rilke, Marion Nickig, Marianne Beuchert

        Rainer Maria Rilkes Gärten sind »von Königen gebaut«. Sie sind still und hoheitsvoll, wirken wie »nie betreten«. Mit blumenbegrenzten weiten Rasenflächen, mit Alleen, gestalteten Bäumen, Kieswegen, Palästen und Pavillons, mit Bänken und Treppen aus Stein, Sonnenuhren und Fontänen und einer Überfülle an Blumen gleichen sie ausgebreiteten Prunkgewändern. Ihr eigentlicher Zauber aber liegt in ihrer beständigen Verwandlung. Rilke preist das unauflösliche Ineinander von lebendigstem Dasein und Vergänglichkeit, jenes »Äußerste von Sein und Neigen«, mit zärtlichen, betörenden Worten. Die Auswahl Marianne Beucherts lädt zu einem Gang durch diese Gärten ein. Die Ausgabe wird ergänzt durch zwölf farbige Park- und Blumenaufnahmen von Marion Nickig.
