Arts & Literature: A Review Of The Poetry Book Unburied-Unmarked—The Untold Namibian Story Of The Genocide Of 1904–1908: Pieces And Pains Of The Struggle For Justice, Elise Pape

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

Between 1904 and 1908, about eighty per cent of the Herero and fifty per cent of the Nama perished in what is today known as the first genocide of the twentieth century that took place in today’s Namibia under German colonial rule. Over decades, the German government has not officially recognized the genocide as such. Jephta U. Nguherimo is one of the descendants of survivors of this genocide and today lives in the United States. In his poetry book unBuried-unMarked–The unTold Namibian story of the Genocide of 1904-1908: Pieces and Pains of the Struggle for Justice that he has self-published …

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

Grzegorz Kwiatkowski is a Polish poet and musician. Here he reflects on the violence perpetrated in Poland during the Second World War, and the dualities of the Polish experience. Is it possible for art to reckon with the darkness, free of melodrama and kitsch?

Pinpointing Patterns Of Violence: A Comparative Genocide Studies Approach To Violence Escalation In The Ukrainian Holodomor, Kristina Hook Oct 2021

Pinpointing Patterns Of Violence: A Comparative Genocide Studies Approach To Violence Escalation In The Ukrainian Holodomor, Kristina Hook

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

This article utilizes the case study of the 1930s Ukrainian Holodomor, an artificially induced famine under Joseph Stalin, to advance comparative genocide studies debates regarding the nature, onset, and prevention of large-scale violence. Fieldwide debates question how to 1) distinguish genocide from other forms of large-scale violence and 2) trace genocides as unfolding processes, rather than crescendoing events. To circumvent unproductive definitional arguments, methodologies that track large-scale violence according to numerically-based thresholds have substituted for dynamics-based analyses. Able to address aspects of the genocide puzzle, these methodologies struggle to incorporate cross-cultural contextual variation or elicit ripe moments for specific, real-time …


Dossier: The Stateless Rohingya—Practical Consequences Of Expulsion, Fiza Lee-Winter, Tonny Kirabira Oct 2021

Dossier: The Stateless Rohingya—Practical Consequences Of Expulsion, Fiza Lee-Winter, Tonny Kirabira

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

The international community has been called upon to ramp up efforts to end statelessness and provided with a guiding framework of 10 Actions. This dossier presents the practical consequences of expulsion, both direct and indirect outcomes of collective violence, directed towards the Rohingyas. Touching upon the nexus between children's rights, human trafficking, and practical challenges associated on-the-ground, the dossier also discusses the imperative need for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) states—collectively as a region—to take steps in fulfilling Action 7 of the Global Action Plan through the birth registration of Rohingya children as part of their existing efforts …


Case Study: The International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia’S Court Transcripts In Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian—Part 1: Needs, Feasibility, And Output Assessment, Besmir Fidahić Oct 2021

Case Study: The International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia’S Court Transcripts In Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian—Part 1: Needs, Feasibility, And Output Assessment, Besmir Fidahić

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) remains the most important organization for the past, the present, and the future of the former Yugoslavia. Faced with a country that always lived under totalitarian regimes with very little insight into actions of the groups and individuals who reaped unthinkable havoc on each other at the end of the twentieth century, the ICTY set undisputable historical record about events that took place during the 1991–1999 wars and put the country on an excellent track towards transformation for the better. But even 28 years since the establishment of the ICTY, the former …

Book Review: Last Train To Auschwitz The French National Railways And The Journey To Accountability, Timothy Plum Oct 2021

Book Review: Last Train To Auschwitz The French National Railways And The Journey To Accountability, Timothy Plum

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

The book Last Train to Auschwitz: The French National Railways and the Journey to Accountability, written by Sarah Federman traces the SNCF’s journey toward accountability in France and the United States. Told from the Holocaust survivors’ perspective the volume illustrates the long-term effects of the railroad’s complicity with the Nazis on individuals, and transitional justice that leads to corporate accountability. In a time when corporations are increasingly granted the same rights as people, Federman’s detailed account demonstrates the obligations businesses to atone for aiding and abetting governments in committing atrocities.


Thoughts On How New Zealand Could Progress As A More Regenerative Tourism Host, Stephen Bradley Oct 2021

Thoughts On How New Zealand Could Progress As A More Regenerative Tourism Host, Stephen Bradley

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

New Zealand has a chance to reset the way we view and manage tourism. We must take this chance to make some changes that will ensure that we have a clean green country to promote as a high quality tourism destination in the future. This perspective advocates that measures such as a high visitor levy, educating tourists and better management of the way tourists travel around the country, can lead to achieving more sustainable tourism industry.


Food Producers And Pandemics: A Mystery Shopping Analysis, Francesc Fusté-Forné Oct 2021

Food Producers And Pandemics: A Mystery Shopping Analysis, Francesc Fusté-Forné

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

Recent research has widely analysed the significance of food in tourism. Departing from the understanding of ‘cheese’ as part of the food tourism system of a destination, this paper aims to analyse cheese factory tours as a tourism service provided by food producers. A mystery shopping approach is used to study the 75 cheese producers under the Manchego quality cheese. Results show the response behaviour of Spanish Manchego cheese producers to an email sent by a ‘tourist’ who asks for a visit during pandemic times. As a segment of food tourism, cheese tourism is gathering a growing attention by academics …


The Most Important Thing, The People!, Marie Haley Oct 2021

The Most Important Thing, The People!, Marie Haley

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

This paper looks at indigenous concepts from New Zealand Maori and American Indians that offer philosophy for long term resilience and human-centred decision making. For true resilience, individuals, businesses and governments need to be adaptable, decisive and make long term changes. Operational changes need to come from a change of mindset and cannot return to old systems. Covid-19 has highlighted placing humans at the centre of decision making. This paper looks at the case study of The Seventh Generation Tours, in Akaroa New Zealand and the indigenous concepts of turangawaewae, knowing our connection to place and environment, manaakitanga, hospitality and …


A Future Of Tourism Industry: Conscious Travel, Destination Recovery And Regenerative Tourism, Asif Hussain Oct 2021

A Future Of Tourism Industry: Conscious Travel, Destination Recovery And Regenerative Tourism, Asif Hussain

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

The tourism industry is a complex network of millions of suppliers and consumers who trade experiences and services. The traditional tourism model revolves around increasing the number of visitors to ensure economic return. The conventional tourism models often ignore the real cost of the travel industry’s health and the cost per tourist. Covid-19 has shown us the extent to which the travel industry can be affected. The tourism and hospitality industries is the worst affected industries globally and the continuous waves of the virus, and new variants, are forcing governments to impose strict lockdowns. Misinformation and disinformation are making it …


El Último Sueño, A Novel Of Anthropocenic Posthumanistic Sensibility, Miguel Angel Albújar-Escuredo Sep 2021

El Último Sueño, A Novel Of Anthropocenic Posthumanistic Sensibility, Miguel Angel Albújar-Escuredo

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

This paper analyzes the novel El último sueño (López 2018) and concludes that it is an optimal example of a new interpretation of Posthumanism whereon the portrayed modern subjects seek to retrieve the Humanist logic lacking in our apocalyptic times, giving birth in the process to a new fictional representation of Posthumanism in the times of the Anthropocene.

Un Cuento Temprano De Fantasía Épica: “La Esclava Perfecta” (1872), De Federico De Castro, Y Las “Leyendas Del Antiguo Oriente” En España, Mariano Martín Rodríguez Dr. Sep 2021

Un Cuento Temprano De Fantasía Épica: “La Esclava Perfecta” (1872), De Federico De Castro, Y Las “Leyendas Del Antiguo Oriente” En España, Mariano Martín Rodríguez Dr.

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

Entre las obras decimonónicas dedicadas al tema de la mujer mecánica merece recuerdo el cuento español de Federico de Castro titulado “La esclava perfecta” (1872). La historia contada se ambienta en una corte de aspecto antiguo oriental, pero que constituye un mundo secundario autónomo y cerrado, dotado de su propio orden ontológico y culturalmente verosímil. Se trata de un ejemplo temprano de fantasía épica en España que se inscribe en la historia del surgimiento y desarrollo de una modalidad autóctona de esa clase de ficción, una modalidad que se podría denominar, siguiendo a Juan Valera, “leyenda del Antiguo Oriente”. Además …


La Herencia Del Tema Minero En La Ciencia Ficción: Iris De Edmundo Paz Soldán, Lilia Yvette Valencia Sánchez, Gabriel Osuna Osuna Sep 2021

La Herencia Del Tema Minero En La Ciencia Ficción: Iris De Edmundo Paz Soldán, Lilia Yvette Valencia Sánchez, Gabriel Osuna Osuna

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

Por un lado Iris (2014), del boliviano Edmundo Paz Soldán, es ciencia ficción “pura y dura”, aunque no de aliens y marcianos sino una distopía política al estilo de Orwell o Huxley. La novela se desarrolla en un futuro indeterminado, en una isla tan devastada por experimentos nucleares que sus habitantes nativos, los irisinos, han evolucionado de forma diferente al resto de la humanidad. Esta bifurcación en la evolución de la raza humana representa el novum que planta a la novela firmemente en el género de ciencia ficción. Por otro lado, Iris es una novela de tema minero que toma …


Influencia De Las Culturas Indígenas Nativas Latinoamericanas En El Género De La Ciencia Ficción. El Caso De Las Plantas Sagradas Y Los Rituales Místicos De La Novela Ygdrasil De Jorge Baradit, Luz G. Hernández Valderrama Sep 2021

Influencia De Las Culturas Indígenas Nativas Latinoamericanas En El Género De La Ciencia Ficción. El Caso De Las Plantas Sagradas Y Los Rituales Místicos De La Novela Ygdrasil De Jorge Baradit, Luz G. Hernández Valderrama

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

Se presenta un análisis del papel que cumplen elementos provenientes de las culturas indígenas en la construcción del universo narrativo futurista de la novela Ygdrasil, escrita por el autor chileno Jorge Baradit. La hipótesis de trabajo es que los elementos provenientes de las culturas nativas, tales como las plantas sagradas y los rituales asociados a estas, son elementos que contribuyen a la verosimilitud del relato, toda vez que la literatura funge como especio en el cual se reflejan y proyectan las transformaciones culturales vividas en el territorio. También se identifica que el autor alimenta la fábula novelesca con elementos ancestrales …


El Fin De La Utopía: Ciencia Ficción Chilena Y El Colapso De La Concertación En Flores Para Un Cyborg (1996), 2010: Chile En Llamas (1998) Y Synco (2008)., José Sullivan Sep 2021

El Fin De La Utopía: Ciencia Ficción Chilena Y El Colapso De La Concertación En Flores Para Un Cyborg (1996), 2010: Chile En Llamas (1998) Y Synco (2008)., José Sullivan

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

El presente ensayo busca leer la producción de ciencia ficción en Chile como un relato del auge y la caída de la Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia, la coalición de centroizquierda que gobernó al país desde 1990 hasta 2010. Para esto me centraré en tres novelas: Flores para un cyborg (1996), 2010: Chile en llamas (1998) y Synco (2008). Planteo que estas novelas marcan tres momentos claves del acontecer político nacional, a saber, un momento utópico sustentado en el retorno de la democracia, un momento antiutópico relacionado con la consolidación del sistema neoliberal y un momento distópico que relata …


Mordor En El Caribe: Releyendo The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao (2007) Desde El Afrofuturismo, Juan A. Suárez Ontaneda Sep 2021

Mordor En El Caribe: Releyendo The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao (2007) Desde El Afrofuturismo, Juan A. Suárez Ontaneda

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

Abstract: Oscar, el personaje principal de la novela The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) de Junot Díaz, nunca se identifica como un hombre negro, pero sí como un morlock, o como un orco. Sus comentarios raciales vienen de la ciencia ficción, como cuando se compara con los morlocks de H. G. Wells, o de la fantasía, como cuando se compara con los orcos de Tolkien. Este artículo propone una relectura de la novela de Junot Díaz desde el afrofuturismo. El afrofuturismo es una corriente literaria y artística que postula imaginar el futuro y reescribir el pasado de las …


Government Response To Covid-19 And Gender Discrepancy: Tour Operator Perspective From New Zealand, Marie Haley, Asif Hussain Sep 2021

Government Response To Covid-19 And Gender Discrepancy: Tour Operator Perspective From New Zealand, Marie Haley, Asif Hussain

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

The New Zealand government closed the international borders for the first time in history to pursuit an elimination strategy to COVID-19. This has had a severe impact upon tour operators who have been excluded from a free and fair market, to protect the broader economic and public health systems. This paper argues that the government response needs a focus at the whanau and community level, with a targeted focus on women empowerment in the communities that are dependent upon international tourism. The government should pursue an approach of engagement with systems to facilitate community lead COVID-19 recovery. Thus, allowing the …

This study focuses on knowing the joint work between Mexico’s tourist destinations and the private sector, promoting proximity tourism for the recovery of tourism after the Covid-19 pandemic, through the creation of the “Central West Pact for Tourism” in Mexico. For the qualitative empirical analysis based on a case study, it is based on secondary data and an in-depth interview conducted virtually with two pioneering leaders of this pact and responsible for tourism management in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico. In addition, a qualitative content analysis of the project’s official website (Viaja En Corto – Descubre El Centro de …


From Hurricanes To Pandemics: Community-Based Transformation And Destination Resilience In Utuado, Puerto Rico, Patrick J. Holladay, Pablo Méndez-Lázaro, Katja Brundiers Sep 2021

From Hurricanes To Pandemics: Community-Based Transformation And Destination Resilience In Utuado, Puerto Rico, Patrick J. Holladay, Pablo Méndez-Lázaro, Katja Brundiers

Journal of Sustainability and Resilience

Community-based tourism that is both sustainable and resilient lends strength to the community-based tourism system. Local mobilization of resources, cohesiveness, coordination, opportunities for change, healthy social and natural capital, economic diversification, strong leadership, and management that embraces creativity all build resilience. An example from Utuado, Puerto Rico is presented that illustrates these concepts with conceptual parallel of Hurricane Maria’s devastating impact to that of COVID-19. Post-coronavirus tourism should support local communities that could be resilient, creative, adaptive and transformative while it protects and provides long-term benefits to local communities and people.
