Managing Events, Festivals and the Visitor Economy
Concepts, Collaborations and Cases
by Michael B. Duignan
This edited text, intended to support a research-informed approach to learning and teaching, presents an array of concepts, collaborations and in-depth cases related to managing events, festivals and the visitor economy. Authors offer an array of philosophical, political, cultural, and ethical perspectives on how to achieve this across a range of contexts, from Cambodia, China, Egypt to the British cathedral city of Lincoln. Though recognising individual difference, each chapter unites in their common pursuit of supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). This is significant as utilising the UNSDGs as a normative organising framework for how we all think about, plan, and manage a 'good' visitor economy is increasingly ubiquitous. It is with this in mind that each chapter provides explicit links to the UNSDGs and policy and/or practical implications, along with a series of critical self-assessment questions to reflect on the chapter's key arguments. This collection aims to satiate what appears to be an increasing appetite of readers and students alike who seek exposure to rigorous debate in and out of the classroom.

Das Verbrechen der Vernunft
Betrug an der Wissensgesellschaft
by Robert B. Laughlin, Michael Bischoff
Wir leben in einer Wissensgesellschaft, die freien Zugang zu Informationen ermöglicht. Doch ist längst eine paradoxe Situation entstanden: Wissen ist gefährlich. Die Möglichkeiten, Wissen zu erwerben, können zu erheblichen Konflikten führen. »Was darf ich wissen?« Diese Frage könnte in unserem Informationszeitalter zu einer Schlüsselfrage werden. Wer Wissen erwirbt, noch dazu technisches Wissen, kann schnell an den Rand der Legalität geraten. Je mehr Technologien vermögen, desto weniger wird das Wissen über diese Technologien frei verfügbar. Wir müssen uns daher mehr und mehr mit dem bizarren Konzept des »Verbrechens der Vernunft« auseinandersetzen, damit, daß frei erworbene Erkenntnisse aus wirtschaftlichen, politischen oder militärischen Gründen als illegal erklärt werden. So gehört es zu den Absurditäten des Patentrechts, daß Konzerne in großem Umfang neue und auch zu erwartende Entwicklungen schützen lassen und damit andere Erfindungen blockieren; ein Geistesblitz kann dann schnell eine Verletzung des Patentrechts bedeuten. Ob es um Atomphysik geht, um Gentechnik oder Computerprogramme – der Physiknobelpreisträger Robert B. Laughlin enthüllt in seinem Essay die Mechanismen der Geheimhaltung von Wissen und zeigt anhand von vielen Beispielen, daß bald ein neues ›Dunkles Zeitalter‹ beginnen könnte, dessen Kennzeichen nicht Information und Wissen sind, sondern Desinformation und Ignoranz.
