        Nichts wie raus!

        Geschichten vom Glück im Grünen

        by Nadja Mayer

        Unsere Sehnsucht nach dem Land, nach dem Echten und Ursprünglichen ist groß – und fürchtet weder Giersch noch Gartenzwerg. Wir entfliehen der Großstadt, fahren ins Grüne, genießen das einfache Leben, die frische Luft und die pure Natur. Und auch wenn sich nicht jeder Klumpen Erde zur Bewirtschaftung eignet und mitunter auf dem Land auch einfach nur Langeweile herrscht, lassen wir uns nicht unterkriegen: Wir graben um und säen aus. Wir hegen und pflegen, hacken Holz und mähen Gras. Wir atmen tief durch und endlich auf. Wir suchen das Weite und finden dabei auch uns selbst. Mitzuerleben und nachzulesen in vergnüglichen und nachdenklichen Geschichten von Max Scharnigg, Eva Demski, Saša Stanišić, Florian Illies, Hilal Sezgin, Katja Lange-Müller, Jakob Augstein und anderen.

        Religious Tourism and Globalization

        The Search for Identity and Transformative Experience

        by Darius Liutikas, Razaq Raj, Vitor Ambrósio, Silvia Aulet Serrallonga, Caglar Bideci, Mujde Bideci, Elzbieta Bilska-Wodecka, Dino Bozonelos, Nour Farra-Haddad, Stephen F. Haller, Jaffer Idris, Antonietta Ivona, Isilda Leitão, Dimitrios Mylonopoulos, Polyxeni Moira, Eleanor O’Keeffe, Spyridon Parthenis, Donatella Privitera, Ricardo Nicolas Progano, Alison T. Smith

        Is it possible to identify the positive and negative effects of globalization on religious tourism or to estimate the transformation of the internal and external constructs of pilgrimage by these effects? In order to address these questions, this book highlights the importance of the search for identity and transformative experience during religious tourism. It also looks at how, recently, globalization has played a part in the changes of the concept of personal and social identity and the transformative experience of pilgrimage. The chapters, consisting of carefully selected case studies, analyse possible effects including the adoption of different new rituals, new pilgrims' values, changes of tradition, acceptance of technologic innovations, development of new business models, and other environmental and sociocultural changes. The book provides: · a conceptual framework for understanding the impacts of globalization; · integrated cross-disciplinary approaches; and · an insight into major religious travel practices in the age of identity challenges and worldwide transformations. It will be suitable for researchers and students of religious tourism, pilgrimage, identity tourism, as well as related subjects such as sociology, anthropology, psychology, theology, history and cultural studies.

      • The Oyster Tells Fables

        by Gulsah Ozdemir Koryurek / Mujde Baskale

        Gülşah Özdemir Koryürek's second children's book, The Oyster Tells Fables, appears as a story of awareness. Living in a deep blue sea alone for a long time, Oyster the Storyteller couldn't tell a fable to anyone. When The Oyster sees the pebble stone soaring from top to the bottom of the sea, spreads its shell, puts the pebble stone into its belly, and starts telling him a fable. The Oyster's fable is about a seahorse having physical disabilities. Because of these obstacles, the seahorse cannot speak properly, has a tilted tail and big lips, and can neither make friends nor build a home for itself. One day when the seahorse is wandering unhappily in the sea comes across an algue. The algue discerns the gorgeous ability of the seahorse, and suddenly, the life of the seahorse gets better; it makes lots of friends and has a loving house. The story, which tells that life's obstacles can be overcome with patience and acceptance, meets the readers with a review by pedagogue Necla Çağlayan.

        Jali

        Windows of Divine Light in Mughal Art and Architecture

        by Editor: Navina Haider, contributors: George Michell, Mitchell Abdul Karim Crites, Ebba Koch

        A jali is a perforated stone or latticed screen, with ornamental patterns that draw on the compositional rhythms of calligraphy and geometry. In the parts of Asia and the Mediterranean where solar rays are strongest and brightest is where ustads, or master artisans, were able to evolve an aesthetic language of light, giving it form and shape through stone and other materials. Jalis share a common aim to bring filtered light into enclosed spaces, while providing protection and privacy. Additionally, they shape the atmosphere of a sacred space, augment the grandeur of palaces and enhance the charm of domestic interiors. This book explores the delicate beauty of more than two-hundred jalis across India, from fourteenth-century examples in Delhi to those designed by global contemporary artists inspired by historical styles. This expansive volume covers the temple designs of the Gujarat Sultanates, imperial symbolism and Sufi allusions in Mughal jalis, the innovations and adaptations of jalis across Rajasthan and central India and, further south, calligraphy in stone relief and pierced stone in the Deccan. With contributions by American art historian Mitchell Abdul Karim Crites, George Michell, an authority on South Asian architecture, and renowned art and architectural historian Ebba Koch, this lavishly illustrated publication reveals the poetry etched in these stone screens.   Navina Najat Haidar is a curator in the Department of Islamic Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. She helped lead the planning of the museum’s galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia. Mitchell Abdul Karim Crites is an American art historian, who has lived and worked in India for more than forty years. His primary focus has been the revival of traditional Indian and Islamic arts and crafts. Over the years, Crites has participated in a number of prestigious art and architectural projects ranging from Mexico to Malaysia. George Michell, an authority on South Asian architecture, has made the study of Deccani architecture and archaeology his life’s work. He has spent over thirty years researching and cataloguing the enormous ruined city of Hampi Vijayanagara, among many other historical sites in the region. Ebba Koch, preeminent art and architectural historian, is presently a professor at the Institute of Art History in Vienna, Austria and a senior researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Koch has spent much of her professional life studying the architecture, art, and culture of the Mughal Empire, and is considered a leading authority on Mughal architecture. Abhinav Goswami, based in Vrindavan, is trained as an archaeologist, photographer and temple priest. For the last three decades, Goswami has dedicated himself to documenting people, places, architecture and festivals of the rich cultural region of Vraj and other parts of India. http://mapinpub.com/bookinfo.php?id=315
