Fashion and Tourism
Fashion and tourism have common structures and similarities on many fronts. Both phenomena and their operations have been through their ‘mass’ cycles, currently seeking alternative ways of expression and development. Both industries are also important business sectors globally.
Industrial Tourism
Industrial tourism presents opportunities, both in terms of income and as a tool of management, for individual firms who open their doors - and consequently their local regions - to the public. But how can these opportunities be organised in a way that enables both the city and the enterprise to take advantage? This book analyzes the conditions for successful industrial tourism development using case studies of Wolfsburg, Cologne, Pays de la Loire, Turin, Shanghai and Rotterdam, and makes astute recommendations for cities and companies with ambitions in this field.
Living in a World Heritage Site
Through a thick ethnography of the Fez medina in Morocco, a World Heritage site since 1981, Manon Istasse interrogates how human beings come to define houses as heritage. Istasse interrogates how heritage appears (or not) when inhabitants undertake construction and restoration projects in their homes, furnish and decorate their spaces, talk about their affective and sensual relations with houses, face conflicts in and about their houses, and more. Shedding light on the continuum between houses-as-dwellings and houses-as-heritage, the author establishes heritage as a trajectory: heritage as a quality results from a ‘surplus of attention’ and relates to nostalgia or to a feeling of threat, loss, and disappearance; to values related to purity, materiality, and time; and to actions of preservation and transmission. Living in a World Heritage site provides a grammar of heritage that will allow scholars to question key notions of temporality and nostalgia, the idea of culture, the importance of experts, and moral principles in relation to heritage sites around the globe.
Le Vin au fil des saisons
À la lecture de cet ouvrage, le monde du vin vous est totalement expliqué et démystifié. Mois après mois, il aborde les grands thèmes de la culture de la vigne, les principaux cépages du monde, les vinifications, le commerce du vin, la mise en tourisme du vignoble, les modèles de viticulture et les vins qui en découlent, la dégustation des vins sains mais également la reconnaissance des maladies et des défauts organoleptiques, pour finir sur les accords des vins et des mets. Très vivant et merveilleusement illustré par les photographies de Sébastien Aubinaud, cet ouvrage est de plus truffé d’anecdotes et de témoignages de professionnels du monde viticole, pour une lecture pédagogique et gourmande ! Œnologue de terrain depuis plus de 30 ans dans la vallée de la Loire au plus près des vignerons et vigneronnes, mais également maitre de conférences à l’université d’Angers, Jean-Michel Monnier nous conte le vin et son univers au rythme des saisons.
Tourism Planning and Development in Western Europe
For many decades, Western European countries have undertaken diverse pathways in tourism development and planning. Most have experienced fast or even unlimited growth, resulting in overtourism and, now, the introduction of policies that respect the limits of communities and the sustainability of their resources. Focusing exclusively on tourism development, planning and policy, this book draws together new voices to discuss issues across Belgium, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK. An invaluable collection for policy-makers, researchers and academics, this book is also an insightful source of engaging contemporary case studies for use in the classroom.
Chardonnet
Pour André Chardonnet, dit «Doudou », l'automobile restera une passionnante et superbe aventure. Elle commence alors qu'il n'a pas encore seize ans et que la guerre fait prématurément de lui un chef d'entreprise indépendant. Il est tour à tour assureur, mécanicien, coureur, restaurateur de BMW et essayeur. Parmi les produits de récupération les plus divers rescapés de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, il a vendu des camions, des tanks Sherman, des jerrycans et des rations alimentaires avant de s'imposer comme l'un des meilleurs distributeurs indépendants de l'automobile européenne, fort en gueule et haut en couleurs. Il diffuse successivement des voitures aussi différentes que les ...
