Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism
Borges' Classics:Global Encounters with the Graeco-Roman Past
No full textIn Borges' Classics, Laura Jansen reads the oeuvre of the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges as a radically globalized model for reimagining our relationship with the classical past. This major study reveals how Borges constructs a new 'physics of reading' the classics, which privileges a paradoxical vision of the canon as universal yet centreless, and eschews fixed ideas about the cultural history of the West. Borges' unique approach transforms classical antiquity into a simultaneously familiar and remote world, whose legacy is both urgent and unstable. In the process, Borges repositions the classical tradition at the intersection of the traditional Western canon and modernist literature of the peripheral West. Jansen's study traces Borges' encounters with the classics through appeal to themes central to Borges' thought, such as history and fiction, memory and forgetfulness, the data of the senses, and the vectors that connect cultures and countries
Labor demiúrgica y lengua de origen. La obra de Adrián Bravi y su traducción
No full textEl artículo pretende abordar el tema del bilingüismo de escritura y la traducción alógrafa a través de la obra de Adrián Bravi, autor argentino que lleva más de treinta años en Italia y quien afirma hablar su lengua madre, el español, en italiano. Se trata de una operación lingüística que no implica solo un mero hecho sintáctico, sino una manera de ver el mundo, una operación a medias entre la labor demiúrgica y la estilística, sin olvidar la pragmática del texto.El autor rechaza la idea de autotraducirse pero interviene en la labor traductora. El trabajo original será el análisis que Janette define “author-translator (mostly one way) communication” (Jansen, 2013: 249) de la traducción del italiano al español de L’albero e la vacca (2013)–El árbol y la vaca (2017), para profundizar en la traducción alógrafa con colaboración usando el material proporcionado por el mismo autor, es decir todas sus intervenciones en el texto y sus sugerencias aportadas a Luciano Padilla López, el traductor, a lo largo de la traducción. L’articolo si propone di trattare il tema del bilinguismo di scrittura e della traduzione allografa attraverso l’opera di Adrián Bravi, autore argentino da oltre trent’anni in Italia, che afferma di parlare la sua lingua madre, lo spagnolo, in italiano. Si tratta di un’operazione linguistica che non riguarda solo la sintassi; è anche un’operazione demiurgica di creazione di un vero e proprio mondo attraverso scelte stilistiche, senza dimenticare la pragmatica del testo.L’autore rifiuta di autotradursi ma interviene nel processo traduttivo. Il lavoro originale sarà l’analisi di quella che Janette definisce “author-translator (mostly one way) communication” (Jansen, 2013: 249) della traduzione dall’italiano allo spagnolo de L’albero e la vacca (2013)–El árbol y la vaca (2017), per approfondire il tema della traduzione allografa con collaborazione, usando il materiale fornito dall’autore stesso, ovvero tutti i suoi interventi sul testo e i suggerimenti apportati al traduttore, Luciano Padilla López, nel corso della traduzione
Physical modelling of reflection on gentle coasts: Comparing methods to analyse long waves and optimising the lay-out for a wave absorber to minimise reflection in a wave flume
No full textStudying mangroves in the field can be very difficult; therefore it is in some situations better to model in a flume. The question is, to what extend are the situation in the field and the situation in the flume comparable with each other? This study focusses on reflection in the wave flume. Wave energy in a flume can be damped by placing a wave absorber at the back of the flume, which absorbs part of the wave energy; part of the waves is reflected. In this study rock is used to build the wave absorber. Two aspects are studied: the influence of the lay-out of the wave absorber on the reflection in the flume, with as goal to find an optimal lay-out, fitting on a maximum horizontal length of 3.00 m, to minimise reflection; and the method of measuring the amount of reflection in a wave flume
