Download or read book Moroccan Dreams written by Claudio Minca and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morocco has long been a mythic land, firmly rooted in the European colonial imagination. For more than a century it has been appropriated by travellers, explorers, writers and artists. It is just these images and imaginings that are now being reconstructed for nostalgic consumption. In Moroccan Dreams, Claudio Minca examines this aestheticised re-enactment of the colonial, exploring the ways in which Moroccans themselves have become complicit in the re-writing of their homes and lives. Richly illustrated, the book provides a fascinating journey that will engage and delight all those enamoured of Morocco and its extraordinary geographies.
Download or read book Travels in Paradox written by Claudio Minca and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative volume focuses on tourism through the twin lenses of cultural theory and cultural geography. Presenting a set of innovative case studies on tourist destinations around the world, the contributors explore the paradoxes of the tourist experience and the implications of these paradoxes for our broader understanding of the problems of modernity and identity. The book examines how tourism reveals the paradoxical ways that places are both mobile and rooted, real and fake, inhabited by those who are simultaneously insiders and outsiders, and both subjectively experienced and objectively viewed. The concepts of travel and mobility long have been used to explain modern identity and social behavior, but this work pushes beyond the established literature by considering the ways that place and mobility are inherently related in unexpected, even contradictory ways. Travel, the international cast of authors contends, occurs 'in place' rather than 'between places.' Thus, instead of offering yet another interpretation of the ways modern societies are distinguished by their mobilities-in contrast to the supposed place-bound quality of traditional societies-the chapters here collectively argue for an understanding of modern identity as simultaneously grounded and mobile. This rich blend of empirical and theoretical analysis will be invaluable for cultural geographers, anthropologists, and sociologists of tourism.
Download or read book The Voices of Marrakesh written by Elias Canetti and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1981 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature, Elias Canetti uncovers the secret life hidden beneath Marrakesh's bewildering array of voices, gestures and faces. In a series of sharply etched scenes, he portrays the languages and cultures of the people who fill its bazaars, cafes, and streets. The book presents vivid images of daily life: the storytellers in the Djema el Fna, the armies of beggars ready to set upon the unwary, and the rituals of Moroccan family life. This is Marrakesh -described by one of Europe's major literary intellects in an account lauded as "cosmopolitan in the tradition of Goethe" by the New York Times. "A unique travel book," according to John Bayley of the "London Review of Books."
Download or read book Le voci di Marrakech written by Elias Canetti and published by Adelphi Edizioni spa. This book was released on 2018-01-23T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elias Canetti soggiornò per un certo periodo del 1954 a Marrakech. Il grande lavoro su "Massa e potere" era giunto a un momento di stasi e lo scrittore sentiva il bisogno di nuove voci, di voci incomprensibili, come quelle che lo avvolsero nella splendida città chiusa dalle sue mura. Vagando per i suk, per le strette vie, per i mercati e le piazze, fra cammelli, mendicanti, donne velate, cantastorie, farabutti, ciechi, commercianti, Canetti, con la sua stupefacente prensilità, capta forme e suoni: «Gli altri, la gente che ha sempre vissuto là e che non capivo, erano per me come me stesso». E il suo libro ha la perfezione e la compattezza dell’istantaneo.
