Encounters across Difference
Author: Natalia Bloch
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Release Date: 2021-05-07
In Encounters across Difference, Natalia Bloch examines tourism encounters in the informal sector in India and their potential to empower subaltern communities. Drawing from ethnographic evidence in Hampi and Dharamshala, Bloch explores the potential of tourism to promote political engagement, volunteering, sponsorship, local entrepreneurship, and women’s empowerment. Contrary to the frequent criticism of tourism to the Global South as a colonial practice, Bloch argues that workers and small entrepreneurs in displaced communities see tourists as allies in their political struggles and, on a more individual level, as an opportunity to build better lives.

Humanistic Tourism
Human dignity has experienced limited attention in tourism studies. The interlinked dimensions of dignity in tourism urgently ask for broad avenues of future research, as tourism is both an information-intensive industry and an "experience good" resulting from the relationship and co-creation processes involving hosts and guests in different political, socio-economic, cultural, and environmental contexts. These contexts play a role in how an individual’s values, norms, and experiences may be experienced in tourism. This edited book is one of the first attempts to apply to tourism a humanistic management approach entailing a re-discovery of the value of human life, dignity, and awareness of the ethical dimensions of work. The book develops awareness of the contemporary relevance of the human dignity concept to interpret and manage the weaknesses of traditional approaches to tourism and cope with the challenges and new scenarios, including the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis. It presents ethical values and norms as both foundations and vehicles to dignify tourism stakeholders’ vision and mission (policy, strategies, and practices) as well as people/tourist beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. It grounds humanistic education as a pervasive mechanism to innovate tourism management contents and practices by offering to different targets new educational and training formats or framing differently traditional ones. Presenting both a critical and a positive approach to tourism management, the diversity of disciplinary approaches, case studies, and examples makes the book attractive to a variety of readers including tourism scholars, researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students of management and organization disciplines.
Ślimoki
„Czterdzieści siedem metrów kwadratowych mieszkania i nasza rodzina. Plus duchy zmarłych dzieci w sumie czternaście osób. Czasami miałam wrażenie, że ci, którzy odeszli, zajmują najwięcej miejsca, poupychani w kątach pomiędzy tymi, którym udało się przeżyć. Potrząsnęłam głową, odpychając widma przeszłości. Miałam nigdy do tego nie wracać, ale Piotr uruchomił wspomnienia”. Ślimoki to rodzina, w której najważniejszy jest ojciec. To on stanowi centrum Wszechświata zarówno żony, jak i dzieci. Zygmunt to niespełniony malarz, który swoje rozczarowania topi w alkoholu. Wódka sprawia, że mężczyzna niszczy życie wszystkich wokół, co dzieci odczuwają nawet w dorosłym życiu. Ich doświadczenia z domu rodzinnego ciągną się za nimi jak cień. Czy któremukolwiek uda się uwolnić?
