Reflecting on loss in Papua New Guinea
No full textThis article takes up the conundrum of conducting anthropological fieldwork with people who claim that they have 'lost their culture,' as is the case with Suau people in the Massim region of Papua New Guinea. But rather than claiming culture loss as a process of dispossession, Suau claim it as a consequence of their own attempts to engage with colonial interests. Suau appear to have responded to missionization and their close proximity to the colonial-era capital by jettisoning many of the practices characteristic of Massim societies, now identified as 'kastom.' The rejection of kastom in order to facilitate their relations with Europeans during colonialism, followed by the mourning for kastom after independence, both invite consideration of a kind of reflexivity that requires action based on the presumed perspective of another
The art of eco-frames : lessons of innovative eco- fabrication in design studio
No full textThis study examines T&L development and implementation of an integrated studio term called 'Vertical Studio' carried out at the Welsh School of Architecture (WSA) by comparing a sequence of eco-fabrication applied in the design studio. It has recently been granted by the Centre for Education in the Built Environment (CEBE). Through comparative teaching and design methods, this study critically explores the principles of low-tech and high-design carried out in several international workshops led by the author. These cases show how students can rapidly develop key spatial and constructional skills such as: spatial versatility, environmental awareness and collaborative research by doing. Each studio brief consisted of intensive workshops focusing on conceptualisation and fabrication of elementary frameworks by using disused cost-free materials. What is a compact architecture today? What should our design objectives be for a sustainable future? What type of elementary framework should we achieve? For instance, the workshop called 'Nomadic Allotments': http://www.nomadicallotments.co.uk built mobile allotments at Borough Market as part of the International Student Architecture Festival in London 2010. Students learnt on agile fabrication, reuse of junk materials and urban gardening’s techniques. We obtained an international prize as the best ‘Recycling Project’. The lesson of these serial of workshops lies on the notion of eco-fabrication applied in undergraduate architectural education. The culture of each workshop is "a learning tool and catalyst for ‘smart’ design decisions by using less and giving more". Each workshop shows how to edifice 'bridges' between praxis and research based on flows of retrospective criticism and prospective visions for encouraging eco-friendly urban environments

La negociación de la autenticidad en el lenguaje dialógico del turismo digital
No full textEste artículo se propone realizar un análisis socio-discursivo de cómo se
construye y se negocia la autenticidad en el discurso del turismo, asumiendo
el acercamiento imparable que ha tenido lugar hacia la figura del cliente
(Austin 2009) a través de un fenómeno comunicativo esencial como es la
dialogicidad. Este discurso ha ido encarnando progresivamente una autenticidad
negociada (Cohen 1988), que va ajustándose a variables sociales,
como ocurre con la pandemia por COVID-19, pero que incluye igualmente
variables culturales. Utilizamos 100 muestras de oralización dialógica en
español e inglés de varios cibergéneros (páginas web institucionales y redes
sociales de turismo) que apoyan nuestra argumentación. Pretendemos ofrecer
una visión contrastiva sobre la negociación de la autenticidad discursiva
y de las emociones como elemento central en el turismo digital, según el trinomio
turismo-sociedad-lenguaje, que permita una mejor comprensión de
la tendencia comunicativa social actual con propósito mercantilista
International Languages in Tourism in Europe : Spanish
No full textDans le cadre européen, l'Espagne, premier pays en destinations touristiques,
a une marquée tendence vers l’internationalisation, ce qui implique l’usage de
l’anglais comme lingua franca. Mais ce tourisme comprend des aspects matériaux
(art, patrimoine, gastronomie, etc.) ainsi que d’autres aspects inmatériaux (habitudes,
façons de penser) propres à chaque culture. Par conséquent, le choix de langue
des touristes et pour les touristes ne peut pas être homogène et standardisé, mais doit
compter avec leur langue et leur culture. L’espagnol a une tendence à la hausse,
causée par les touristes espagnols qui voyagent de plus en plus, et qui préfèrent d’être
addressés dans leur propre langue. Ceci implique une forte demande de textes
traduïts et d’intéractions orales, ainsi que d’intéractions écrites touristiques à travers
les réseaux sociaux, en espagnol. De plus, la langue espagnole est elle-même un
élément d'attraction, en tant qu'objet d'étude pour les touristes et les étudiants
étrangers
Construcción discursiva de la subjetividad en lengua inglesa : cuando los viajeros se quejan a través de sus opiniones en TripAdvisor.
No full textEn este artículo analizamos las quejas de los viajeros en un corpus integrado por 80 opiniones o reseñas sobre cuatro hoteles, alojadas en la plataforma TripAdvisor en las categorías de puntuación 'malo/pésimo' y 'bueno/excelente'. El estudio se enmarca en el análisis del discurso interpersonal aplicado a géneros turísticos digitales (Mapelli 2008, 2016, Suau Jiménez 2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2014), con el propósito de caracterizar no solo el aspecto relacional entre autor y lector, sino también el proposicional o de contenido. Nos centramos en las quejas, ya que constituyen una parte fundamental de las opiniones. Abordamos la construcción de la subjetividad en la voz de los viajeros -del autor- a partir de la revisión de los marcadores de actitud, por aglutinar estos a la vez riqueza subjetiva y de contenido. Sin embargo, también consideramos los atenuadores, los realzadores y la auto-mención como marcadores interpersonales que participan en la modelación de dichas quejas. Los resultados apuntan hacia una construcción diferenciada de la subjetividad en las dos categorías analizadas, positiva y negativa, de TripAdvisor. Se sugiere que las estrategias discursivas resultantes obedecen al marco funcional pre-determinado por el fin comunicativo de cada categoría de opinión. Las implicaciones son de orden discursivo, metodológico y socio-lingüístico. In this paper we analyze travellers' complaints in a corpus of 80 reviews about four hotels, in the opinions categorized as "poor/terrible" and "very good/excellent" from the TripAdvisor platform. The study is carried out from the perspective of interpersonal discourse applied to digital genres of tourism (Mapelli 2008, 2016, Suau Jiménez 2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2014, 2016) with the purpose of characterizing not only the relational aspect between author and reader, but also the propositional one. We focus on complaints since they are a fundamental part of reviews. We approach the construction of subjectivity in the voice of travelers -that of the author- from attitudinal markers, since they contain a high degree of subjectivity and content. However, we also consider hedges, boosters and self-mention markers because they participate in the modeling of those complaints. Results show a differentiated construction of subjectivity in complaints, in both travelers' opinions categories, positive and negative. It is suggested that the resulting discursive strategies obey the predetermined functional frame of both categories of the reviews. The study offers discursive, methodological and socio-linguistic implications

Paying attention to pigs: negotiating equity and equality in global environmental governance in Suau, Papua New Guinea
No full textThe idea of ‘equity’, largely grounded in Western legal tradition, has come to permeate evaluations of what is fair and just within environmental governance programmes. But what constitutes equity in climate change and conservation projects? And does everyone affected by such projects see equity as desirable? Local encounters with global environmental governance interventions in Suau, Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea, provide an entry point to explore these questions. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with communities implicated in the Central Suau Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) Pilot Project and in Save the Forest conservation projects, we examine tensions around conceptions of equity and equality between project proponents and local communities, as well as between individuals within those communities. By paying attention to talk about pigs in Suau, and tracing the intersections between reciprocity and trade, we explore how people negotiate equity and equality. We emphasize that this negotiation is central to Suau ideas of fairness. While the REDD+ and Save the Forest projects work to ensure ‘equitable’ distribution of benefits among supposedly equivalent actors, we show how this may actually close down possibilities for negotiation of outcomes that local people consider fair
