Travel, Tourism and Art (Current Developments in the Geographies of Leisure and Tourism)
by Jo-Anne LesterArt, in its many forms, has long played an important role in people’s imagination, experience and remembrance of places, cultures and travels as well as in their motivation to travel. Travel and tourism, on the other hand, have also inspired numerous artists and featured in many artworks. The fascinating relationships between travel, tourism and art encompass a wide range of phenomena from historical ’Grand Tours’ during which a number of travellers experienced or produced artwork, to present-day travel inspired by art, artworks produced by contemporary travellers or artworks produced by locals for tourist consumption. Focusing on the representations of ’touristic’ places, locals, travellers and tourists in artworks; the role of travel and tourism in inspiring artists; as well as the role of art and artwork in imagining, experiencing and remembering places and motivating travel and tourism; this edited volume provides a space for an exploration of both historical and contemporary relationships between travel, tourism and art. Bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplines and fields of study including geography, anthropology, history, philosophy, and urban, cultural, tourism, art and leisure studies, this volume discusses a range of case studies across different art forms and locales.
Travel, Discovery, Transformation
by Gabriel R. RicciThis latest volume in the Culture & Civilization series gathers interdisciplinary voices to present a collection of essays on travel and travel narratives. The essays span a range of topics from iconic ancient travel stories to modern tourism. They discuss travel in the ancient world, modern heroic travels, the literary culture of missionary travel, the intersection of fiction and travel narratives, modern literary traditions and visions of Greece, personal identity, and expatriation. Essays also address travel memoirs, the re-imagining of worlds through travel, transformed landscapes and animals in travel narratives, diplomacy, English women travel writers, and pilgrimage and health in the medieval world.The history of travel writing takes in multiple pursuits: exploration and conquest, religious pilgrimage and missionary work, educational tourism and diplomacy, scientific and personal discovery, and natural history and oral history. As a literary genre, it has enhanced a wide range of disciplines, including geography, ethnography, anthropology, and linguistics. Moreover, twenty-first-century interests in travel and travel writing have produced a global framework that promises to expand travel's theoretical reach into the depths of the Internet, thus challenging our conventional concept of what it means to travel.The fact that travel and travel writing have a prehistory that is embedded in foundational religious texts and ancient narratives of journey, like the Odyssey and the Epic of Gilgamesh, makes both travel and travel writing fundamental and essential expressions of humanity. Travel encourages writing, particularly as epistolary and poetic chronicling. This is clearly a history and tradition that began with human communication and which has kept pace with our collective development.

Traumatic Stress and Its Aftermath: Cultural, Community, and Professional Contexts
by Sandra LeeExplore the aftermath of traumatic stress as it affects various populations, including therapists themselves! This book will educate you about the aftermath of traumatic stress as it impacts people in a variety of settings. It explores the factors that lead to increased or reduced vulnerability to the effects of traumatic stress, emphasizing the impact of cumulative/multiple trauma rather than the effects of a single traumatic incident, to help you design and implement effective prevention and intervention programs. The specific populations and groups addressed in this important book include: adolescent girls involved in armed conflict in Colombia&’s guerilla war urban African-American youth-a theoretical model for risk and resiliency people with strong spiritual/religious beliefs-how spirituality can affect a person&’s reaction to traumatic stress women in recovery in a community aftercare shelter female trauma therapists-factors affecting vicarious traumatization of helping professionals college students with histories of abuse Providing a framework for understanding traumatic stress-related issues based on a variety of methodologies and measures, Traumatic Stress and Its Aftermath addresses important questions, such as: What is the relationship between the experiences of trauma or other stressful life events, and subsequent traumatic stress? What are the protective factors that can buffer or ameliorate the development of traumatic stress in the face of adverse life experiences, trauma, or other stressful events? How do these questions evolve in different cultural or community contexts, and with different populations? What are the implications for interventions for community institutions and mental health workers? What roles do self-esteem and spirituality play in a person&’s reaction to traumatic stress? How do reactions to traumatic stress differ between women who have been sexually abused as children and women who have not? From editor Sandra S. Lee: "Contemporary developments in the study of traumatic stress are shifting. This book reflects an emphasis on the study of traumatic stress in normal community, cultural, or college student populations and groups, while other literature has focused on individuals specifically diagnosed with PTSD. In addition, Traumatic Stress and Its Aftermath: Cultural, Community, and Professional Contexts emphasizes the search for risk and protective factors and factors that can buffer the relationship between trauma exposure and subsequent distress."

Traumatic Storytelling and Memory in Post-Apartheid South Africa: Performing Signs of Injury (Memory Studies: Global Constellations)
by Christopher J. ColvinThis book explores the practice of traumatic storytelling that emerged out of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission and came to play a key role in the lives of the members of the Khulumani Support Group for victims of apartheid-era political violence. Group members found traumatic storytelling both frustrating and yet also an important form of memory work that shaped how they saw themselves in the post-apartheid era. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the author examines how traumatic storytelling functioned not only as a kind of psychological healing and national political theatre, but also as a potent form of social relation, economic exchange, political activism, and expressive practice. With emphasis on the personal, social, and political significance of the act of traumatic storytelling, this volume asks why members of Khulumani, despite their many disappointments, continued to engage intensively in storying their experiences for themselves and others. Examining what powers storytelling held for both group members and their witnesses, and considering the ways in which storytelling enabled new senses of self and new understandings of what was possible in the years after the end of apartheid, this book considers what we might learn more broadly from the experiences of Khulumani about the possibilities—and limits—of traumatic-memory-making as an instrument of personal, social, and political repair. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, and criminology with interest in justice and post-conflict societies.

Traumas Resisted and: Inquiring into Lost and Found Narratives in Music Education (Landscapes: the Arts, Aesthetics, and Education #36)
by Shelley M. Griffin Nasim NiknafsThis book focuses on the traumatic experiences within and through music that individuals and collectives face, while considering ways in which they (re)engage with their traumas in educational settings. The chapters delve into the physical, psychological, philosophical, sociological, and political aspects, as they relate to the reciprocal influences of trauma on musical practices and education. Readers are immersed in topics related to societal violence, physical injuries, grief, separation, loss, death, and ways of working through these in educational and artistic situations. In the introductory chapter, the co-editors draw attention to theoretical matters related to trauma through narrative inquiry in music education. The first section of the book, Separation Revisited, brings together notions of separation, focusing on how loss is emotionally and physically manifested when death, grief, and bodily injury are experienced. In the second section, (Re)Engaging with Lost and Found, readers are encouraged to imagine new possibilities considering trauma and loss in educational and musical spaces. These pieces offer deliberate ruminations moving the discourse toward (re)engagement in and through music education and artistic contexts. The co-editors conclude the book by drawing attention to narrative inquiry’s double-edged nature in stories of trauma and how the retelling of lost and found narratives offers a way to imagine lives otherwise—lives not smothered by grief and horror—through the conceivable reliving of unfathomable stories of experience. This book emerges from the 7th International Conference on Narrative Inquiry in Music Education (NIME7), October 2020, co-hosted by Brock University, Faculty of Education and the University of Toronto, Faculty of Music, Ontario, Canada.
Trauma, Women’s Mental Health, and Social Justice: Pitfalls and Possibilities (Routledge Research in Gender and Society)
by Emma TserisThis book argues that while notions of trauma in mental health hold promise for the advancement of women’s rights, the mainstreaming of trauma treatments and therapies has had mixed implications, sometimes replacing genuine social change efforts with new forms of female oppression by psychiatry. It contends that trauma interventions often represent a "business as usual" approach within psychiatry, with women being expected to comply with rigid treatment protocols, accepting the advice given by trauma "experts" that they are mentally unstable and that they must learn to manage the effects of violence in the absence of any real changes to their circumstances or resources. A critique of trauma treatment in its current form, Trauma, Women’s Mental Health, and Social Justice recommends practical steps towards a socio-political perspective on trauma which passionately re-engages with feminist values and activist principles.

Trauma und Sozialisation: Zu den Auswirkungen von Flüchtlingserfahrungen auf die nachfolgende Generation
by Abdulillah PolatAbdulillah Polat untersucht Prozesse der Identitätsfindung und der Suche nach Anerkennung von Jugendlichen in Flüchtlingsfamilien. Dabei stellt er die Frage nach den Auswirkungen traumatischer Erlebnisse der Eltern auf die Sozialisation der nachfolgenden Generation. In seiner empirischen Untersuchung am Beispiel kurdischer Familien in Deutschland verwendet der Autor die Methode der biografischen Fallrekonstruktion, um die vielfältigen und intergenerationalen Auswirkungen von Traumata und beobachtete Bewältigungsmöglichkeiten darzustellen. Die Sozialisationsbedingungen der porträtierten Jugendlichen werden durch die frühe Übernahme von Verantwortung für die psychisch hoch belastete Familie erschwert, hinzu kommen soziale Benachteiligungen. Für die Betroffenen bestehen somit schon im Jugendalter hohe Anforderungen, die oft zu Überforderung führen.
Trauma und Blockaden im Coaching: Modelle, ihre Anwendung und Fallbeispiele
by Alexander Riechers Radim RessBlockaden, die mit Coaching gelöst werden sollen, sind häufig die Folge traumatischer Erfahrungen eines Menschen oder seiner Vorfahren. Anhand bildhafter Modelle erschließt sich dem Leser die vielschichtige Seelenlandschaft sowie deren Gesetzmäßigkeiten. Das Buch entschlüsselt Traumata als Grundbauelemente der Seele und folgt ihnen zu ihren Ursprüngen zurück: den Existenziellen Grenzerfahrungen und ihrem gemeinsamen Nenner, der seelischen Spaltung. Diese wirkt aus dem Unbewussten auf alle Lebensbereiche und ist mit dem Bewusstsein arbeitenden herkömmlichen Methoden daher nicht erreichbar. Der hier vorgestellte integrative Ansatz stellt Mittel und Wege zur Verfügung, die die Möglichkeiten von Coaching wesentlich erweitern.
Trauma und biografische Arbeit: Eine biografieanalytische Studie anhand erzählter Lebensgeschichten komplex traumatisierter Erwachsener (Sozialwissenschaftliche Gesundheitsforschung)
by Christin SchörmannIm Rahmen dieser Studie wird rekonstruiert, wie Erwachsene, die infolge wiederholter Erlebnisse personaler Gewalt Traumata durch andere Menschen erfahren haben, ihre Lebensgeschichten biografisch bearbeiten. Zum zweiten wird untersucht, wie Handlungsmöglichkeiten und Handlungsbegrenzungen dabei bedeutsam werden. Wie die Ergebnisse zeigen, verhindert das fragmentierte biografische Erzählen der Biograf*innen ihre Erzähl- und Handlungsfähigkeit nicht. Ungeachtet entmächtigender, das Mitteilen erschwerender Gewalterlebnisse bietet ihre brüchige Erzählweise vielmehr die Möglichkeit, sich selbst als handlungsfähige*r Akteur*in zu präsentieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund erweist sich die dekonstruierende Selbstthematisierung als eine Form biografischer Bearbeitung, die Erzähl- und Handlungsfähigkeit ermöglicht.

Trauma-sensitivity and Peacebuilding: Considering the Case of South Sudanese Refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp (The Anthropocene: Politik—Economics—Society—Science #12)
by Lydia Wanja GitauThis book identifies a gap in peacebuilding theory and practice in terms of sensitivity to trauma and its impact on the survivors of war and other mass violence. The research focuses on the traumatic experiences and perceptions of peace of South Sudanese refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Northwestern Kenya. It further explores the possibilities for peacebuilding identified in these perceptions. A lack of sensitivity to the trauma experienced by the survivors of conflict and mass violence leads to interventions that are at best removed from, and at worst detrimental to the welfare of the survivors. Interventions that take into consideration the complex and multifaceted ways in which the survivors experience and respond to the traumatic events, encourage capacities for resilience in the survivors, engage the creative arts in peacebuilding, and emphasise the centrality of community and relationships, are seen to assist the survivors in recovery from trauma and to facilitate peacebuilding.• Diverse anecdotes and real life stories from the research participants.• The journey as a recurring motif throughout the book, weaved in a clear, easy to read style of writing.
Trauma-Responsive Organisations: The Trauma Ecology Model (Emerald Points)
by Daryl MahonPractitioners, organisations and policy makers in health and social care settings are increasingly recognising the need for trauma-informed approaches in organisational settings, with morbidity and financial burdens being of growing concern. Servant leadership has a unique focus on emotional healing, service to others as the first priority, in addition to the growth, well-being and personal and professional development of key stakeholders. Mahon provides a ‘how to’ approach to the systematic implementation of the Trauma Ecology Model for those working in both trauma specific, and non-specific organisations. He goes beyond the idea of trauma-informed care principles only, and seeks to incorporate trauma responsiveness at all levels, including leadership, supervision, treatment, through an implementation framework. Unique to this approach is the focus on servant leadership, the first of its kind. Servant leadership is used as the foundation to operationalize several of the six principles of trauma-informed care, making organizations a safer and healthier environment for employees and service users.

Trauma, Postmodernism and the Aftermath of World War II
by P. CrosthwaiteThe first sustained study of the relationship between Anglo-American postmodernist fiction and the Second World War, Crosthwaite demonstrates that postmodernism has not abandoned history but has rather reformulated it in terms of trauma that is traceable, time and again, to the catastrophes of the 1940s.
