This book focuses on the role of networking, cooperation and
partnership in destination management in response to the changing
environment of the tourism industry.Firms and institutions are
nowadays required to implement drastic management changes: they
must adopt a systemic approach and become actively involved in
formal and informal networks in order to increase efficiency and
product quality, to gain a sustainable edge and face the
competitive context.The work is dedicated to deepening the topics
of the "Networking and Tourism Local System" session of the 12th
ATLAS 2004 Annual Conference, "Networking & Partnership in
Destination Development & Management," held in Naples. From a
theoretical point of view, the papers included herein relate to two
macro reference areas: applied economics and managerial sciences.
The analysis range from national to local levels and focus on
strategies, policies, and project experiences. Several cases from
different areas (Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden) are examined and provide features and
issues that can be applied beyond the cultural and economic
contexts.
The ubiquitous presence of imaginative work points at its
importance among the higher mental functions. This collective
volume discusses both the social relevance of imagination, that
cannot be reduced to an inter-individual feature, and the
cultural-historical conditions of imagining. The authors develop
different theoretical and empirical works in which imagining,
planning, anticipating, remembering and acting are put in relation
with crucial moments of human existence, as early as birth and even
after death. The proposal of this volume emerged during a "kitchen
seminar" session at the III International Seminar of Cultural
Psychology in Salvador da Bahia (Brazil, 2017). The debate revolved
around the imaginative capability of human beings and the
possibilities to investigate this phenomenon in a new key. The
awareness that an innovative theoretical and empirical contribution
was needed to the understanding of imaginative phenomena in
everyday life led to the proposal of the book From Dream to Action:
Imagination and (Im)Possible Futures. The book aims to talk to
different audiences: psychologists, sociologists, artists, teachers
and healthcare professionals, addressing a variety of life
experiences - such as imagining alternative futures when facing a
terminal illness, an adoption, a transplant waiting list, or the
choice to give up your musical instrument - mobilize multiple
dimensions of human psyche, from the basic emotions to the more
sophisticated higher mental functions. The constant effort is to
understand the psychological and sociocultural dynamics of each
event, and to contribute to the understanding of human imagining in
the area of semiotic-cultural psychology, dialoguing with
contributions from all the human and social sciences.
Why do we know every gory crime scene detail about such victims as
Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. and yet almost nothing about the
vast majority of other hate crime victims? Now that federal
anti-hate-crimes laws have been passed, why has the number of these
crimes not declined significantly? To answer such questions, Clara
S. Lewis challenges us to reconsider our understanding of hate
crimes. In doing so, she raises startling issues about the
trajectory of civil and minority rights."Tough on Hate" is the
first book to examine the cultural politics of hate crimes both
within and beyond the law. Drawing on a wide range of
sources--including personal interviews, unarchived documents,
television news broadcasts, legislative debates, and presidential
speeches--the book calls attention to a disturbing irony: the
sympathetic attention paid to certain shocking hate crime murders
further legitimizes an already pervasive unwillingness to act on
the urgent civil rights issues of our time. Worse still, it reveals
the widespread acceptance of ideas about difference, tolerance, and
crime that work against future progress on behalf of historically
marginalized communities.
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English - Pedagogy,
Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Freiburg,
language: English, abstract: An accent almost always makes the
conversation partner come to any sort of prejudgement of the
speaker. It might sound unpleasant, as in the case of German
accents from the view of some English speakers, or can lead to
misunderstandings. Therefore, it is important for learners of
English as a second language to pay attention to their
pronunciation from the beginning. I will analyse which contrasts
between English and German exist and further look into the most
common mistakes of learners and misperceptions that lead to a
characteristic German accent. We can assume that there are
mispronunciations with different degrees of 'graveness', depending
on the probability to cause misunderstandings. So in the following,
I will turn to the question why pronunciation should not be
neglected in teaching and what corrections language teachers should
give priority to in the teaching of phonology. The chapter on
teaching mainly refers to the teaching of German students in
secondary schools. The assumptions can however be transferred onto
other teaching situations. I will show that the teaching of
pronunciation will always have to be adapted to the learners'
individual language environment as this is bound to strongly
influence their accent.
