How do scholarship and practices of remembrance regarding Nazi
Germany benefit from digital tools and approaches? What challenges
arise from "doing history digitally" in this field - and how should
they best be dealt with? The eight chapters of this book explore
these and related questions. They discuss the digital initiatives
of various archives and source databases, highlight findings of
research undertaken with digital tools, and examine how such tools
can be used to present history in education, exhibitions and
memorials. All contributions focus on recent or, in some cases,
ongoing digital projects related to the history of National
Socialism, World War II, and the Holocaust.
"Eyes of Separation" is a detailed look through the eyes of a man
who sees the world in its true state. Although it can be very
challenging, it also can be very rewarding and these words hope to
prove that. It is for anyone with an open mind who wants to journey
into another time of unity, love, hate, and compassion for all.
Bringing affect and emotion to the forefront of tourism studies,
this book presents a new generation of scholars who consolidate
emerging affective approaches and establish a route for scholarship
that examines the roles of emotion and affect in tourism. Attuning
to affect and emotion, this book steers the affective turn to
encompass touring bodies and tourism places. Engaging the concept
of affect as a constitutive element of social life often leaves
academics grasping for terminology to describe something that is,
by its very nature, beyond words. For this reason, as evident in
the four interconnected sections of this volume, studying affect
poses a significant and fruitful challenge to the status-quo of
social scientific method and analysis. From African-American
emotional labour while travelling, to visiting Banksy's Dismaland
park, to affective heritagescapes, self-love, and travelling
mittens, and across socio-spatial theories of emotions, decolonial
feminist theory, and atmospheric politics, this book demonstrates
the epistemic and empirical richness of affective tourism. Along
with the contributors to this volume, the editors make a case for
thinking about emotions and affects through collective and
individual practices as interrelated shaping tourism encounters in
and with places. That is, to break it down as doing, and as shared
between bodies and places through the doing. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of Tourism
Geographies.
Disruptive and creative research methodologies proposed in this
book are designed to dismantle neoliberal narratives deployed in
tourism studies and wider social sciences. Progressing criticality
in tourism studies, this volume showcases cutting-edge
contributions ranging from reflexivity, subjectivities, and dreams;
to messy emotions in auto-ethnographic accounts of fieldwork;
'motherhood capital' accessing Inuit communities; collective memory
work; ethnodrama and creative non-fiction, amongst others.
Disruption and creativity are the two ideas around which tourism
geographers challenge and begin dismantling hegemonic ideologies in
tourism studies. The chapters in this book provide a vantage point
from where to disrupt first, before tourism geographers can
engender progress and transformation within and outside of the
field. In tourism studies in general, and tourism geography in
particular, the years of the 2000s have witnessed an emphasis on
qualitative methodological research, both in terms of the topics
addressed and the types of methodological tools. In many ways, this
legitimisation of qualitative work mirrors developments in other
areas such as human geography, sociology and anthropology, in which
this book is anchored. The authors debate in more depth how tourism
studies offer multidimensional, multilogical and multi-emotional
approaches to research design. The chapters were originally
published as a special issue of the journal, Tourism Geographies.
This book brings together, explores and expands socio-spatial
affect, emotion and psychoanalytic drives in tourism for the first
time. Affect is to be found in visceral intensities and resonances
that circulate around and shape encounters between and amongst
tourists, local tourism representatives and places. When affect
manifests, it can 'take shapes' in the form of emotions such as
fun, joy, fear, anger and the like. When it remains a visceral
force of latent bodily responses, affect overlaps with drives as
expounded in psychoanalysis. The aim of the title, therefore, is to
explore how and in what ways affects, emotions and drives are felt
and performed in tourism encounters in places of socio-political
turmoil such as Jordan, Palestine/Israel, with a detour to Iraq.
Affective Tourism is highly innovative as it offers a new way of
theorising tourism encounters bringing together, critically
examining and expanding three areas of scholarship: affective and
emotional geographies, psychoanalytic geographies and dark tourism.
It has relevance for tourism industries in places in the proximity
of ongoing conflicts as it provides in-depth analyses of the
interconnections between tourism, danger and conflict. Such
understandings can lead to more socio-culturally and
politically-sustainable approaches to planning, development and
management of tourism. This ground breaking book will be of
valuable reading for students and researchers from a number of
fields such as tourism studies, geography, anthropology, sociology
and Middle Eastern studies.
Famous for leading the Doolittle (or Tokyo) Raid, America's first
strike against Japan in World War II, Jimmy Doolittle led a
remarkable life as an American pilot. This firsthand account by his
granddaughter Jonna Doolittle Hoppes reveals an extraordinary
individual: • An aviation pioneer who was the first to fly across
the United States in less than 24 hours and the first to fly
“blind” (using only his plane’s instruments). • A
barnstormer well known for aerobatics and a popular racing pilot
who won every major air race at least once. • Recipient of both
the Congressional Medal of Honor and Presidential Medal of Freedom.
• A four-star general and commander of both the 8th, 12th, and
15th Air Forces. • A scientist with a doctorate in aeronautical
engineering from MIT. Calculated Risk provides insights into
the public and private world of Jimmy Doolittle and his family, and
sheds light on the drives and motivation of one of America's most
influential and ambitious aviators. This updated edition contains a
new foreword written by Richard P. Hallion, a new afterword written
by Clarence E. “Bud” Anderson, and a new introduction by author
Jonna Doolittle Hoppes.
