Research in this area has been on the rise for several years, yet researchers of literary tourism often find it difficult to connect with others who have researched in this subject. There are, however, some exceptions in this field. One is TULE (Centre for Literary Tourism - Il Centro per il Turismo Letterario at the Perugia Foreigners' University), which brings together literary tourism researchers from Europe. In the creation of this textbook, the editor, Dr. Jasna Potočnik Topler, who is also a TULE member, invited her TULE colleagues Dr. Rita Baleiro (University of Algarve, CiTUR), Giovanni Capecchi (Università per ...

Imagining Tourists and Tourism Conference - Paris 19-21 June 2024 Aims of the Conference The conference aims to explore the links between tourism and fiction, and more precisely to consider tourism and tourists as fictions. It is part of a series of conferences organized since 2011 by researchers from the Universities of Geneva, Panthéon-Sorbonne and Berkeley to explore the links between tourism and the imaginary. The first four meetings had evoked how tourism mobilized imaginaries specific to destination countries, their landscapes, their cultures and their inhabitants. The fifth conference will focus on the imaginary that applies to tourists themselves. Imaginary tourists We will examine how the various actors of tourism, as well as the places and practices of tourism, appear in works of fiction. Literature, cinema, theater, song, advertising, etc., stage tourist configurations, which are sometimes at the very heart of these fictions.  Fictional tourists include those invent...

 All-in-One Note Container I have added an alternative page design to the Microsoft (R) OneNote template for our Dialogue Journaling process.  You can see from the screen-shot that the five main elements of a page of dialogue journaling are now held all in one Note Container. 'Note Container' is Microsoft's word for the table that holds text in cells. My main reason for this design addition is to avoid the issues of overlapping Note Containers when you are typing long texts on your smartphone into one of the cells. I found that shunting the other Note Containers was quite difficult on a 'phone screen.  Download ZIP Updated I have updated the ZIP download by adding this new format as an alternative page design. I have kept the page width narrow enough to display fully even on older iPhones, from 7 onwards. Do, please, experiment with this new 'All-in-One' format and let me know through your prefered channel your findings, or leave a Comment below. I am giving a ...

Brežice, a place of mystery           Photo: Water tower in Brežice, Bine Leben, 20.1.2024     Travel writing from the University of Maribor, Faculty of Tourism. Masters Programme: English in Tourism – Higher Level 2    Author: Teja Leben     Mentor: Dr. Jasna Potočnik Topler     Brežice, a place of mystery     Already from afar, after the highway exit for Krško from the direction of Ljubljana, I notice the silhouette of Brežice, highlighted by the Water Tower and the bell tower of the Church of St. Lovrenc, which I read about before the trip. Both rise above the houses and grove of the old town. Otherwise, you can also see a few taller high-rise buildings next to them, but very few, so even from a distance it can be concluded that Brežice is a small town. I am on the right track, as I would like to discover something more about Brežice and share it with the world.     ...
