        Begriffsgeschichten

        Studien zur Semantik und Pragmatik der politischen und sozialen Sprache

        by Reinhart Koselleck, Carsten Dutt, Ulrike Spree, Willibald Steinmetz

        Im Zentrum von Reinhart Kosellecks Werk steht die Begriffsgeschichte, deren Paradigma er – der 'denkende Historiker', wie Hans-Georg Gadamer ihn einmal genannt hat – maßgeblich entwickelt und zur Grundlage des von ihm mitherausgegebenen Großlexikons der Geschichtlichen Grundbegriffe gemacht hat. Die Begriffsgeschichte Koselleckscher Prägung wendet sich ganz spezifisch gegen eine abstrakte Ideengeschichte. Sie richtet sich auf den tatsächlichen Sprachgebrauch im sozialen, politischen und rechtlichen Leben. Dabei werden konkrete Erfahrungen und Erwartungen an der Gelenkstelle zwischen sprachgebundenen Quellen und politisch- sozialer Wirklichkeit ausgemessen. Mit dieser Sammlung von 25 Untersuchungen hinterläßt ihr Autor ein Vermächtnis. Er erzählt die Geschichte unserer, der modernen Welt anhand der Begriffsgeschichten von 'Staat', 'Revolution ', 'Aufklärung', 'Emanzipation', 'Bildung ' und 'Utopie'. Stets wird dabei der Doppelstatus dieser Begriffe, ihre Indikatoren- und Faktorenrolle im historischen Prozeß, deutlich. Die semantisch- pragmatische Analyse der Begriffe macht Kontinuitäten ebenso wie Umschlagpunkte der Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte sichtbar und gibt so eine eigene Form geschichtlicher Erfahrung frei: Die Historie der Begriffe wird zum Medium der historischen Selbstaufklärung der Gegenwart.

        Heritage Tourism Destinations

        Preservation, Communication and Development

        by Edited by Maria D. Alvarez, Atila Yüksel, Frank Go

        Heritage tourism is tied to myth making and stories; creative content that can be shared, stored, combined and manipulated, but that depends on a unique cultural or natural history. A significant section of the wider phenomenon that is cultural tourism, heritage tourism is a demand-driven industry that continues to be a subject of heated debate in academic circles. Beginning with an overview of the subject, this book considers the conservation and revitalization of heritage destinations, as well as the role local communities have in supporting an attraction. It then discusses product development and communication around the world, using new techniques such as social media and examples from food tourism and sporting events, before a final section reviews the planning and institutionalisation of heritage spaces. A timely conclusion subsequently considers the implications of developments such as globalisation, technological improvement and climate change upon these unique destinations. A valuable addition to the literature, this book is the first to bridge the gap between theory and practice, including the latest research and international case studies for researchers and practitioners in tourism and destination management.
