Storytelling in precarious landscapes: Insights from a photovoice project in rural Appalachia

The impacts of the coronavirus pandemic in the small central Appalachian town of Rainelle, West Virginia cannot be understood separately from the broader human-environment relationships of this place. These relationships are grounded in landscapes that hold tremendous natural beauty alongside the scars of coal and timber extraction, and which now face increased risk of flooding because of the changing climate those extractive industries helped create. Too often, stories of this place lack attention to this complexity because they do not account for the perspective and knowledge of the people who live and make their livelihoods there. This paper details findings from a photovoice project in Rainelle that captured life in the small town in Fall 2020, through the lenses of nine town residents. Their photos tell a story not just of the height of the pandemic in rural America, but also of what happened when the pandemic intersected with ongoing efforts to recover from a devastating flood in 2016 and decades of socio-economic hardship before that. The results show that photovoice is an effective method by which political ecologists can facilitate the telling of stories by and with research participants, while also offering insights for how we might envision more just climate futures with people not typically part of conversations about climate change, such as those from the precarious landscapes of rural Appalachia.

Псевдо-Хафиз В.С. Соловьева и влияние переводческой традиции Г.Ф. Даумера и А.А. Фета

The essay analyses the Russian translations of Ḥāfeẓ by V.S. Solov’ev in 1885 (24 poems in the first journal edition, reduced to 11 in all subsequent volume editions). The Russian philosopher’s interest in the Persian poet is part of European, and specifically German, Orientalism, which became popular since the publication of J.W. Goethe’s “West-Eastern Divan” (1819). This interest has a direct connection with the translations of Hafiz published by A.A. Fet in 1860. As has been shown, Fet translated Ḥāfeẓ not directly, but through the poetic imitations of him by the German poet G.F. Daumer (“Hafis. Eine Sammlung persischer Gedichte”, 1846; in particular, he used the second edition of these poems, published in 1856). Solov’ev’s lyrics have hitherto been thought to be translations of Hafezian imitations by the German poet F. Bodenstädt (1877). The essay shows how actually Solov’ev used the same imitations by Daumer as Fet, probably taking them from the same volume used by the older poet. This enables to relate the two Hafezian poetic cycles more directly and to draw some general considerations on the different intentions that drove the two poets in translating the Persian mystic: for both, Ḥāfeẓ was functional in conveying their own artistic form and philosophical meaning, although each of them had a different understanding of him. The analysis shows that Solov’ev was much closer to Ḥāfeẓ than Fet. In the Persian poet Fet saw a singer of beauty and regarded the aesthetic phenomenon as self-valuable; for Solov’ev, beauty was a conduit of the divine, as it was for Ḥāfeẓ. In his poems, the young beautiful cupbearers (replaced in Daumer by the beloved woman) are always the personification of God. It was these themes (the power of love; its dual nature, both mystical and earthly; the immanence of the divine in the world) that Solov’ev would develop in the following years and would be reflected in a series of articles key to understanding his worldview and which became the object of attention of Symbolist poets: “Beauty in Nature” (1889), “The General Meaning of Art” (1890), “The Meaning of Love” (1892), “The Life Drama of Plato” (1898), and others.

Use of Local Culinary to Support Marine Tourism on Mampie Beach Polewali Mandar, Indonesia

Maritime tourism is synonymous with natural beauty, but its culinary riches are often overlooked, even though local cuisine can be a significant tourist attraction, such as at Mampie Beach, whose potential is hidden and neglected amidst the post-COVID-19 crisis. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques using interviews, documentation and observation, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. The research results show much culinary potential, mainly traditional foods such as Baye/Golla Kambu, Kasippi, Coklat Macoa, and Co'ri. as products that can be marketed or sold in the Mampie Beach marine tourism area. However, the lack of awareness and initiative of the community, tourism managers, and local government means that the culinary potential of these traditional foods cannot support the marine tourism of Mampie Beach, so it cannot impact tourism recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, several strategies need to be implemented involving the community, tourism managers and local government to optimize the existing culinary potential: First, holding regular thematic culinary events, where local traders can promote and sell their traditional dishes; Second, establishing partnerships with local businesses such as restaurants, food stalls and local food producers to introduce and serve regional specialties at tourist attractions, and Third, carry out culinary tours and cooking courses, where tourists can learn about local culinary culture while enjoying authentic dishes served by local people

Tense and Aspect in Balti Language: Morphological Perspective

Pakistan is a multilingual and multicultural country where 72 language diverse languages are used for communication. Gilgit-Baltistan is one of the most well-known northern regions for its stunning natural beauty, distinct landscapes, evergreen forests, snow-capped mountains, and rich cultural heritage. Most of the Gilgit-Baltistan regional languages have been studied historically and culturally, but a few studies address this from a linguistic perspective. Balti language is one of them. Balti is a member of the more extraordinary Tibeto-Burman language family, specifically the Western Tibetan branch of the Tibetan language family. The present study analyses the tense and aspect markers in the Balti language. This study contributes to the regional language of Pakistan and analyzes the language in the morphological domain that is not mostly touched yet; also, studying tense and aspect markers in the Balti language from a morphological perspective is crucial for understanding the language’s nuances within temporal expressions. The present study results show that Balti has a complex system of tense and aspect markers; using the qualitative research design, n= 50 root words (verbs) were collected from the Balti language within the framework of inflectional morphemes of tense markers for this study. Nine markers for tense and some of their aspect, including eḑ, en, s, yoḑ, and yoḑpə: set̪, ʊk, t̪ʊk, and sed̪ʊkt̪ʊk, are identified in the current study. These markers are attached to the corresponding root verbs to indicate the present simple, present progressive, past simple with progressive, future simple, and future participle. The study also develops a deep understanding of various future tense markers as connectors to root words based on the consonant and vowel sounds at the end of root words.

『임천고치(林泉高致)』에 드러난 산수화의 미적 인식과 방법 연구

This study has researched the aesthetic awareness and the expression method of the landscape painting that is described in 『Limjeongochi (林泉高致)』 of Kwakhi, based on the philosophical contemplation of Rihak (Neo-Confucianism) of the Northern Song Dynasty. Landscape paintings were flourished especially in the Song Age. The emergence of this background can result from several factors. Above all, this mirrors the epochal art tendency and view of aesthetics in contrast to those in the previous times, which has something close to do with the spirit of the age when literary paintings came to the fore and Rihak (Neo-Confucianism) of the Song Dynast was deeply embedded in society.
 The highly learned Kwakhi, a painter in painting art academy, made an exchange with many literary men, thus, being influenced by Rihak (Neo-Confucianism) in reflection of the sprit of the age that epochal intellectuals held. The aesthetic awareness of landscape in 『Limjeongochi (林泉高致)』, was described not as a realistic painting that recreates nature by the means of visual and sensory elements but as the best good (善) and the best providence (天理) interpreted as universal unity (天一合一) in harmony with reason and emotion. This reflects the aesthetic awareness that cognizes universalism (宇宙論) as the essence of human character, and ultimately the moral principle emphasizing investigation of things (格物致知) and discipline, thereby providing the momentum to highly appreciate the landscape painting.
 A characteristic of landscape painting is that this painting expresses the beauty of landscape in a vivid way, regarding transcendental contemplation or nature as the circulating organism that contains poetic implication. This pursues the method of understanding the power (power of mountain) and attribute (essence of mountain) by observing landscape, at close or far distance and looking into all over the three surfaces of the mountain (high, deep, and plain surfaces) for spatial expansion, in order to overcome the problem focusing on a single object, bring a dynamic change in an object so that it could move to and fro with full vigor, and to embody it into a living thing, as if it were actually described in landscape. It can be said that energy that figure paintings put weight on is included in landscape painting, also. In this regard, the fundamental principle of stroke and ink has played the inter-complementary role to vitalize literary paintings, and furthermore expand the natural beauty of vigor from landscape painting into flower bird paintings.

Potential, Challenges and Barriers to Growth Tourism in Pakistan

Pakistan’s tourism sector has enormous potential. It has some of the world’s highest mountains, lakes, and natural sceneries and is a popular destination for adventurers from inside and outside the country. Pakistan is a developing nation where tourism has recently been pushed to promote economic growth and improve the quality of life for its citizens. Pakistan is now seeing the fastest growth rates in tourist arrivals globally, and it is stated that tourism should be considered a vital part of Pakistan’s growth strategy. Findings of the study reveal that lack of awareness among tourists about tourism in Pakistan is considered as a barrier. Secondly, the terrorist attacks are the root cause of diminishing tourism industry. Pakistan has the resources to promote tourism both in its own country and around the world. However, there are a number of problems, such as a language barrier, the threat of terrorism, and a lack of built infrastructure, that are preventing the expansion of the tourism industry within the country. In addition, Pakistan’s natural beauty and historical landmarks have the potential to entice visitors from all over the world. Finally, the findings demonstrate that digital marketing can assist the nation in enhancing its online visibility and gaining favorable feedback from foreign tourists. At the national level, efforts must be made. The available resources can be utilised in a way that will encourage domestic tourism, but it will take years of planning.

Through this workshop, it is expected that students, as Generation Z, can understand the importance of their role as tourism ambassadors. They are anticipated to harness their creative potential in landscape photography, utilizing social media as a platform to share the beauty of Indonesia's nature and cultural wealth. Thus, SMKN 7 Bandung becomes not only a center for vocational education but also a key pillar in shaping the image of 'Wonderful Indonesia' through the creative and innovative eyes of Generation Z.

Tourism Investment and Land Use Change in the Northern Piedmont of the Western High Atlas (1989-2022)

This study aimed to investigate the profound influence of tourism investment on the Northern Piedmont of the western High Atlas over 34 years in response to the escalating global trend of tourism-driven land-use changes, particularly in the Marrakesh region. In this context, the driving forces behind the significant transformation of agricultural land and bare soils into tourism-driven investments were evaluated as well as the critical role of accessibility in shaping spatial shifts. The method used high-resolution (10 m) satellite images from Spot 1 (1989), Spot 5 (2003 & 2010), and Sentinel 2 (2022) through remote sensing methods to investigate the historical land-use changes over 34 years. The results showed significant transformations in land-use based on the correlation between improved transportation infrastructure and the growth of tourism ventures, underscoring the role of roads and facilities as catalysts. The analysis suggested the need for reflection on the consequences of unregulated tourism growth, aiming to balance economic benefits with environmental and socio-cultural challenges in sensitive regions. Although tourism significantly contributed to economic development and employment opportunities, it also posed risks when not managed prudently. This underscored the need to strike a harmonious equilibrium between economic prosperity as well as preserving the unique natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region. The insights provided in this analysis had broader implications for responsible planning and management of tourism development in sensitive ecological and cultural regions. In conclusion, a thoughtful and sustainable approach was needed to safeguard the delicate balance between economic prosperity and environmental preservation.
