As a discipline, economics is far removed from creative writing. Science fiction arguably tells us little about the reality of day-to-day capitalism. Economic Science Fictions challenges and changes that. By treating our economy as a series of 'fictions' - stories and expectations regarding the future - and treating science fiction-writing as a means of anticipating different economic futures, this book offers various imaginative and surprising new syntheses. It brings together social science with fiction-writing; critique of everyday economic life with visions of alternatives; design with politics; utopias with dystopias; and academic scholarship with new styles of writing. Rooted in a sense that contemporary 'economic reality' is no longer working and no longer credible, it explores how we might draw on imagination and the inherent uncertainty of the future, both to revitalise economic thinking, and to re-imagine the present. This book will appeal to those working in cultural studies, creative writing, sociology, political economy and history of economic thought. Above all, it provides fresh and unusual perspectives for anyone who believes that the economy is too important to be left to the dry technicalities of economics" --Provided by publisher.Time and economic reactionsEconomic forecastingElectronic books.Time and economic reactions.Economic forecasting.330.9001/12Davies William1976-MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPAzTeSBOOK9910480847803321Economic Science Fictions2446597UNINA04140nam 2200625 450 991079808520332120230807221504.03-11-042461-43-11-042440-110.1515/9783110424409(CKB)3710000000461764(EBL)2130660(SSID)ssj0001516416(PQKBManifestationID)12588238(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001516416(PQKBWorkID)11495187(PQKB)10765447(DE-B1597)451941(OCoLC)918623547(DE-B1597)9783110424409(Au-PeEL)EBL2130660(CaPaEBR)ebr11087981(CaONFJC)MIL821127(MiAaPQ)EBC2130660(EXLCZ)99371000000046176420150819h20152015 uy 0gerurnnu---|u||utxtccr40 years World Heritage Convention popularizing the protection of cultural and natural heritage /Marie-Theres Albert, Birgitta RingbeckBerlin, [Germany] ;Boston, [Massachusetts] :De Gruyter,2015.©20151 online resource (224 p.)Heritage Studies,2196-0275 ;Volume 3Description based upon print version of record.3-11-042776-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Preface --Contents --1 Introduction --2 What is World Heritage? --3 The World Heritage Convention in the Fullness of Time --4 Discourses Surrounding World Heritage --5 Effects of Popularization --6 World Heritage versus Intangible Cultural Heritage --7 Prospects for the Future --Glossary --Bibliography --List of Figures --List of Tables --Notes on Contributors --IndexSeit Verabschiedung der Welterbekonvention 1972 erfreuen sich Schutz und Nutzung des Kultur- und Naturerbes zunehmender Beliebtheit. Im Laufe der Zeit wurden jedoch Nutzungskonzepte entwickelt, die nicht mehr allein vom Gedanken der Nachhaltigkeit getragen wurden, sondern zunehmend durch wirtschaftliche Interessen geprägt sind. In der vorliegenden Publikation werden erstmals der Entstehungsprozess der Welterbekonvention, die Konvention selbst mit ihren diversen Facetten sowie ihre Entwicklung zu einem der bedeutendsten Instrumente der UNESCO für den Kultur- und Naturgüterschutz aufgezeigt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass der Erhalt und die Nutzung von Erbe ein außergewöhnlich komplexer politischer, partizipativer und interdisziplinärer Prozess ist. In der Veröffentlichung werden diese Entwicklungen skizziert und Lösungsansätze für problematische Auswirkungen entwickelt.Since the adoption of the World Heritage Convention in 1972, the notion that cultural and natural heritage need to be protected and properly utilized has gained popularity. Over time, however, such utilization concepts were less focused on ideas of sustainability and became increasingly influenced by commercial interests. For the first time, this publication attempts to elaborate the development of the World Heritage Convention, the Convention itself in its different facets and how it evolved into one of the most important UNESCO instruments for the protection of cultural and natural heritage. It will be shown that the protection and utilization of heritage is a highly complex political, participatory and interdisciplinary process. This publication discusses these developments and suggests potential solutions in order to deal with such unintended trends.Heritage studies (Berlin, Germany) ;Volume 3.Cultural propertyProtection (International law)Cultural propertyProtection (International law)344/.094Albert Marie-Theres1101490Ringbeck BirgittaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK991079808520332140 years World Heritage Convention3685653UNINA
