A score of such literary luminaries awaiting well-deserved recognition is concealed in the listing below. Revealing a name entails permuting the collection that results when a new letter replaces a given one in each word. To illustrate, after scrambling, the creators of Tom Sawyer and Robinson Crusoe will be exposed when W supplants G in GIANT and O does the same to R in FREED, respectively.

Overtourism: issues, realities and solutions De Gruyter studies in tourism ;, v. 1./ edited by Rachel Dodds and Richard W. Butler.
No full textIn English.Includes bibliographical references and index.As tourism has surged, there have been increased concerns expressed about overtourism - a phenomena of unsustainable tourism which negatively affects the livelihoods of local communities and the resources upon which tourism is based. As it is becoming increasingly clear that the environmental, social and economic impacts of tourism on destinations must be managed appropriately to secure their long-term viability, there is a critical need to understand governance and planning tools that can resolve current problems of overtourism without losing the benefits of tourism development. The concerns about overtourism expressed in both academic and popular literature include: too many tourists in one place, rowdy and other inappropriate behaviour by tourists, antagonism between residents and tourists, crowding, strains on infrastructure, loss of authenticity, loss of amenity and reduction in quality of life of residents and reduced enjoyment of experiences by tourists. Overtourism is the first book to examine in detail the origin and causes of overtourism and place the topic in a conceptual context with other forms of tourism including sustainable and mass tourism. It includes a number of case studies of overtourism in both urban and rural settings and discusses potential steps to reduce the impacts on both residents and the natural environment of affected areas.

The spatial concept of spas development of W. Pencakowska and Tourism Area Life Cycle of R.W. Butler – similarities and differences of both evolutionary models
No full textPraca omawia dwie koncepcje ewolucji obszaru turystycznego, które przybliżają mechanizm rozwoju funkcji turystycznej i uzdrowiskowej. Pierwsza to koncepcja W. Pencakowskiej, natomiast druga to model ewolucji obszaru turystycznego TALC R.W. Butlera. Obie prace przybliżają wyjaśnienie mechanizmu rozwoju przestrzenno-społecznego obszarów turystycznych. W artykule przedstawiono podobieństwa i różnice obu koncepcji.Article discusses two evolutionary concepts of tourism area development, which broaden knowledge about the development mechanism of tourism destinations and spas. One of them is the concept of W. Pencakowska, while the second is a model of Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) of R.W. Butler. Both concepts allow the explain the mechanism spatial and social development of the tourist areas. The author points out the similarities and differences of both concepts
Progress in succession in the Pennington grove of Pinus virginiana
No full textIn 1932 the senior author reported on an ecological survey in stands of Pinus virginiana in Munroe County, Indiana, viz. the Pennington grove near Weimer Lake, two miles sw. of Bloomington, on highway 45, and the Christie-Freeman groves, four miles nw. of Ellettsville. At the time of the 1931 survey very little ground cover had developed in either of these groves. The repesent study considered only the Pennington grove. This stand has seen no decided cultural modifications since the 1931 survey. Periodic surveys were made in the stand by various groups of ecology students of Butler University. These surveys showed a definite trend in succession which now definitely forecasts replacement of the 100 per cent coverage of crown by Pinus virginiana. The invaders consist of a large number of broadleaved species. The forst floor, which in 1931 was almost bare, is today extensively covered by herbs and the seedlings of tree and shrub species. The authors made a survey in July and September of 1947 to define in quantitative terms the trends in succession in the Pennington grove
Vulnerable bodies : Judith Butler, self-destruction, and radical acts of resistance
No full textArtykuł analizuje kategorię cielesnej podatności (vulnerability) i kruchości życia w ujęciu Judith Butler. Autorka stawia pytania o projektowany przez Butler nieopozycyjny związek między podatnością podmiotu a oporem. Refleksji poddany zostaje również Butlerowski postulat niestosowania przemocy, dla którego wyzwaniem są analizowane w tekście przykłady działań, wykorzystujących co prawda podatność, ale przybierających postać destrukcji lub autodestrukcji. Zestawiając dwa przypadki samospalenia (Omida Masumali i Ryszarda Siwca) oraz dwie figury terrorystek (Ulrike Meinhof z RAF i Marthy Doherty fikcyjnej członkini IRA z powieści Anny Bojarskiej Agitka), autorka zwraca uwagę na trudną czasem do wytyczenia granicę między "siłą bezsilnych" a "przemocą zranionych".The article analyses the category of vulnerability and precarity of life as present in Judith Butler’s thought. The author reflects on Butler’s non-contradictory model of the relationship between a subject’s vulnerability and resistance. Also, Butler’s postulate of the non-use of violence is
discussed in relation to the challenging actions which make use of vulnerability, but take the form of destruction or self-destruction. Comparing two cases of self-immolation (that of Omid Masumali and Piotr Siwiec) on the one hand and two figures of female terrorists (Ulrike Meinhof from RAF and Martha Doherty, a fictitious IRA member in Anna Bojarska’s novel Agitka) on the other, the author draws attention to the difficulties in the delineation of the boundary between the "power of the powerless" and "the violence of the wounded"

Chinese mothers - Western daughters? : cross-cultural representations of mother-daughter relationships in contemporary Chinese and Western women's writing
No full textThis study looks at women's prose narrative representing four major
Chinese communities during the last 30 years, and focuses on the depiction of
mother-daughter relationships among personae within the narrative texts. The
thesis seeks to suggest that mother-daughter relationships within the texts are a
reflection of how a text responds to its mother culture in the course of development.
Narrative prose ranging from self-professed autobiographies to the fictional,
written by Chinese women from American-Chinese communities, Hong Kong,
Taiwan and Mainland China, are examined in a comparative approach within an
ethnical framework. The concept of a national literature is discussed with regard to
different fonns of Chinese-ness.
It is revealed, in the course of this examination, that each group of Chinese
women's writing examined here demonstrates an acute awareness of a link with an
original mother culture, the Chinese orientation. However, recent events both
inside and outside China have inevitably shaped cultural development in these
communities, resulting in splits and diversifications in the individual cultural
consciousness.
Approached from this perspective, the Chinese mother culture gains a new
vitality by virtue of shedding the burden of a long history. Focusing on the
intertextual activities of regional writings, it is shown that represented Chinese-ness
is no longer an unchanged and unchanging phenomenon, but is redefined each
moment through the locus of interactions among independent hybrid communities
Między spotkaniem a mijaniem. Rahel Varnhagen, Hannah Arendt, Judith Butler
No full textThe article is an attempt at capturing the relationship between the lives and creative attitudes of Rahel Varnhagen, Hannah Arendt and Judith Butler. Starting with Varnhagen’s biography written by Arendt, the essay’s author wonders about the philosopher’s writing strategy. Instead of a classic reconstruction of life, the biographer offers a collage of excerpts from Rahel’s letters with extensive commentary. This form encourages one to read Rahel Varnhagen as a narration about the author and her own struggle with Jewish and female identity. The second relationship analysed in the essay is the impact of Hannah Arendt’s texts on Judith Butler’s writings. Despite the criticism of the philosopher’s writings, Arendt remains an unquestionable inspiration to Butler. The article also emphasises the differencebetween the theoreticians: Arendt uses the strategy of mimicry (writing about identity in the form of a German Jew’s biography), while Butler writes a politically-engaged text, exposing herself and her identity.The article is an attempt at capturing the relationship between the lives and creative attitudes of Rahel Varnhagen, Hannah Arendt and Judith Butler.

„Zmysł udziału”. Wspólnoty, sojusze bezbronnych i podporządkowanych w poezji Haliny Poświatowskiej
No full textUsing Michael Rothberg’s concept of the multidirectional memory, the author of this article proves that in Halina Poświatowska’s poetry memory of the Shoah is activated in confrontation with media images of the Vietnam War. In the poems, the memory of various genocides is dynamic, because of which such phenomena as competitiveness, rivalry, or dominance of forms of commemorating chosen mass crimes give way to the rule of consolidation of memory. The author also investigates the feminist motifs and observes the convergence between the forms of resistance presented by Poświatowska and the concepts of revolt discussed by Judith Butler (grievability, vulnerability). The involvement of the poet in matters contemporary to her is – next to the contemplation of the fragile body – the most important theme of her poetry, which has not been noted by the critics, who accused her of escapism, egotism, imitativeness, and infantilism.Autor artykułu, wykorzystując koncepcję pamięci wielokierunkowej Michaela Rothberga, udowadnia, że w poezji Haliny Poświatowskiej pamięć o Zagładzie uaktywnia się w konfrontacji z obrazami medialnymi wojny w Wietnamie. W utworach poetki pamięć o różnych formach ludobójstw jest dynamiczna, dzięki czemu zjawiska takie jak konkurencyjność, współzawodnictwo czy dominacja form upamiętniania wybranych masowych zbrodni ustępują miejsca regule konsolidacji pamięci. Autor tropi również wątki feministyczne i dostrzega zbieżność form oporu prezentowanych przez Poświatowską z koncepcjami buntu omówionymi w pracach Judith Butler („opłakiwalność”, wulnerabilność). Zaangażowanie poetki w sprawy jej współczesne stanowi (obok kontemplacji kruchego ciała) najważniejszy temat poezji, który nie został odnotowany przez krytyków, zarzucających jej eskapizm, egotyzm, wtórność, infantylizm
