Abstract

In an increasingly global world where convenient modes of travel have opened the door to international and intraregional tourism and brought together people from different religious and ethnic communities, religious journeying in India has become the site of evolving and often paradoxical forms of self-construction. Through ethnographic reflections, the contributors to this volume explore religious and nonreligious motivations for religious travel in India and show how pilgrimages, missionary travel, the exportation of cultural art forms, and leisure travel among coreligionists are transforming not only religious but also regional, national, transnational, and personal identities. The volume engages with central themes in South Asian studies such as gender, exile, and spirituality; a variety of religions, including Sikhism, Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity; and understudied regions and emerging places of pilgrimage such as Manipur and Maharashtra.

Abstract

This book outlines the impacts of small scale sport tourism events on local sustainable development in different countries. Using half marathons organized in small and medium sized cities as an example, the chapters are robust case studies, applying a unified methodology in order to provide a clear overview of the sport tourism system in each country. The book begins with a description of the methodologies used and an overview of the countries studied. The country chapters focus on several dimensions of sport tourism in each city, including but not limited to the history of past sport tourism events in the municipality, the characteristics of the city hosting the event, the demographic profile of participants in the event, and the quantifiable economic, environmental, and sociocultural impacts of the event. Each chapter concludes with analysis and policy recommendations for holding future events that contribute to local sustainable development. The book concludes by summarizing and comparing the main results across different countries, and presenting main conclusions and overarching recommendations. Written by international experts in sports tourism, this book is geared towards academic researchers and students, interested in sport tourism, sports economics, management, and sustainable development, as well as policy makers and professionals tasked with bringing such events to their cities.

Abstract

The contributors to 'International Tourism' reconceptualize the local and the global, avoiding such crude oppositions as centre v. periphery, modern v. traditional, macro v. micro and North v. South. Instead, they demonstrate that the local cannot be understood without the global, and that the global can never be isolated from the regional setting within which it operates.

Abstract

As researchers bring their analytic skills to bear on contemporary archaeological tourism, they find that it is as much about the present as the past. Philip Duke's study of tourists gazing at the remains of Bronze Age Crete highlights this nexus between past and present, between exotic and mundane. Using personal diaries, ethnographic interviews, site guidebooks, and tourist brochures, Duke helps us understand the impact that archaeological sites, museums and the constructed past have on tourists' view of their own culture, how it legitimizes class inequality at home as well as on the island

Abstract

« Pouvez-vous dire quelle a été la rencontre capitale de votre vie ? » À l’enquête qu’ils lançaient dans la revue Minotaure en 1933, la réponse allait de soi pour André Breton et Paul Éluard : c’était, de toute évidence, la rencontre de l’amour. Encore fallait-il pour être capitale qu’elle vînt combler en eux l’attente de l’événement unique et un désir de coïncidences bouleversantes. À cette passion de la rencontre se reconnaîtront toujours les vrais amoureux de l’amour. Un simple échange de regards suffit à déclencher la foudre et à révéler aux inconnus qu’ils étaient destinés l’un à l’autre. Quand l’amour de la rencontre et la rencontre de l’amour entrent en fusion, tout fait preuve et, dans le vertige qui emporte les signes, le lieu dévoile enfin son génie érotique. Pour l’éducation des amants, Madeleine de Scudéry avait dessiné la carte de Tendre qui offrait ses parcours allégoriques à l’amoureuse initiation. La leçon sera entendue par une lignée de voyageurs pour qui le paysage est le creuset d’une alchimie du désir. Lorsque Watteau embarque ses pèlerins pour Cythère, lorsque Stendhal vole aux rameaux de Salzbourg les secrets de la cristallisation, lorsque Baudelaire adresse à la femme aimée son invitation au voyage, lorsque Breton découvre que dans Paris se love un corps de femme, ils se font eux aussi les géographes de Tendre. Tout en se plaçant sous la tutelle de Vénus, c’est à son fils bien-aimé qu’ils rendent hommage : ils illustrent les pouvoirs d’Éros géographe.

Abstract

This book addresses one of the most central, yet criticised, solutions for international tourism promotion, namely translation. It brings together theory and practice, explores the various challenges involved in translating tourism promotional materials (TPMs), and puts forward a sustainable solution capable of achieving maximum impact in the industry and society. The solution, in the form of a Cultural-Conceptual Translation (CCT) model, identifies effective translation strategies and offers a platform for making TPM translation more streamlined, efficient and easily communicated. Using the English-Malay language combination as a case study, the book analyses tourism discourse and includes a road test of the CCT model on actual end-users of TPMs as well as tourism marketers in the industry. Guidelines for best practices in the industry round out the book, which offers valuable insights not only for researchers but also, and more importantly, various stakeholders in the translation, tourism and advertising industries.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage présente les résultats d'une enquête par sondage menée en 2001 par le ministère de la Jeunesse, des Sports et de la Vie Associative (alors ministère de la Jeunesse et des Sports) et l'Institut National du Sport et de l'Éducation Physique (INSEP), auprès de 1501 adolescents de 12 à 17 ans (entretiens en face à face). Elle vise essentiellement à estimer les différents modes de la pratique sportive des adolescents, qu'elle soit exercée en club ou de façon moins institutionnalisée. C'est la première enquête de cette ampleur auprès de ce public. Le questionnement utilisé dans cette enquête a été adapté à cette classe d'âge. Il permet de préciser les cadres sociaux et disciplinaires de la pratique en club et de la pratique inorganisée, éclaire d'un jour nouveau la question de l'abandon de la pratique sportive, des pratiques « de glisse », de l'image du sport chez les adolescents, de leurs pratiques culturelles liées au sport.
