Abstract

Paris nimmt unter den im Zweiten Weltkrieg besetzten Städten einen besonderen Platz ein: Für die deutschen Besatzer war die Stadt ein von vielerlei Klischees besetzter Sehnsuchtsort, für die Pariser ein Raum gefährlicher Balance zwischen Widerstand und Kollaboration.Bernd Wegners Buch zeichnet ein Bild davon, wie deutsche Soldaten und zivile Besatzer Paris in den Jahren des Krieges sahen. Die französische Hauptstadt in deutscher Hand - das war keine gemeinsame Realität, sondern eine Fülle konkurrierender, oftmals widersprüchlicher Erfahrungen. Wegner gibt in seiner dokumentarischen Collage einer größtmöglichen Vielfalt zeitgenössischer Stimmen und Bilder Raum. Im kritischen Blick des Historikers werden diese Eindrücke vom Leben der Besatzer zwischen Siegeseuphorie und Zukunftsangst in ihrer Doppeldeutigkeit erkennbar: Sie zeigen auf den ersten Blick nur das, was die Besatzer sehen und berichten wollten. Aber dennoch scheint hinter Ihnen die harsche Wirklichkeit einer besetzten Stadt auf.

Abstract

This book is concerned with the history of tourism at the Coranderrk Aboriginal Station at Healesville, northeast of Melbourne, which functioned as a government reserve from 1863 until its closure in 1924. At Coranderrk, Aboriginal mission interests and tourism intersected and the station became a 'showplace' of Aboriginal culture and the government policy of assimilation. The Aboriginal residents responded to tourist interest by staging cultural performances that involved boomerang throwing and traditional ways of lighting fires and by manufacturing and selling traditional artifacts. Whenever government policy impacted adversely on the Aboriginal community, the residents of Coranderrk took advantage of the opportunities offered to them by tourism to advance their political and cultural interests. This was particularly evident in the 1910's and 1920's when government policy moved to close the station.

Abstract

A Historical Geography of Tourism in Victoria, Australia - Case studies is concerned with the emergence of tourism in colonial Victoria, Australia. It explores a fundamental set of questions: how does a tourist site come in to being? How does a tourist gaze emerge in a 'settler society'? How does an 'era of discovery' segue into 'tourism'? And, how was the tourist map of Victoria created by settler colonists? Through the application of the classical models of MacCannell, Butler, and Gunn to construct the history of tourism at eight case studies, this work shows that Victoria's tourism landscape is dynamic and constantly changing. There are many other significant natural and cultural attractions in Victoria and much more research needs to be undertaken to understand more fully the evolution of Victoria's tourism landscape.
