Sommario/riassunto

"From Sartre to Levinas, continental philosophers have looked to the example of the Jew as the paradigmatic object of and model for ethical inquiry. Levinas, for example, powerfully dedicates his 1974 book Otherwise than Being to the victims of the Holocaust, and turns attention to the state of philosophy after Auschwitz. Such an ethics radically challenges prior notions of autonomy and comprehension two key ideas for traditional ethical theory and, more generally, the Greek tradition. It seeks to respect the opacity of the other and avoid the dangers of hermeneutic violence. But how does such an ethics of the other translate into real, everyday life? What is at stake in thinking the other as Jew? Is the alterity of the Jew simply a counter to Greek universalism? Is a rhetoric of exceptionalism, with its unavoidable



ontological residue, at odds with shifting political realities? Within this paradigm, what then becomes of the Arab or Muslim, the other of the Jew, the other of the other, so to speak? This line of ethical thought in its desire to bear witness to past suffering and come to terms with subjectivity after Auschwitz arguably brackets from analysis present operations of power. Would, then, a more sensitive historical approach expose the Palestinian as the other of the Israeli? Here, Zahi Zalloua offers a challenging intervention into how we configure the contemporary."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Sommario/riassunto

Tourismus und Gesellschaft verantwortungsvoll gestalten  Ebenso wie Gesellschaft und Gemeinschaft verändert sich der Tourismus. Globale Krisen, schwindende Ressourcen und veränderte Anforderungen an das Reisen motivieren zum Umdenken. Und: Auch die Bevölkerung vieler Urlaubsregionen möchte Tourismus mitgestalten und von diesem profitieren. Der Community-based Tourism wird als Gegenpol zum Massentourismus beschrieben. Kerstin Heuwinkel stellt das spannende Konzept sowie konkrete Formen in ihrem Buch vor und zeigt Möglichkeiten sowie Grenzen auf. Eine zum Nachdenken anregende Lektüre für Studierende der Tourismus- und Sozialwissenschaften, für die Praxis, NPOs und NGOs sowie für Reisende.
