NEW 2015 EXPEDITIONS AZORES MADEIRA & SEVILLA SPAIN & PORTUGAL Travel Through Time & History Discover Islands & Cultural Treasures NEW 2015 EXPEDITIONS AZORES MADEIRA & SEVILLA SPAIN & PORTUGAL Travel Through Time & History Discover Islands & Cultural Treasures TM ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC EXPLORER | 2015 As astonishing as the photos in National Geographic. And an exhilarating life adventure: A Lindblad-National Geographic expedition— a complete experience in a thrilling geography. TM Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have joined forces to further inspire the world through expedition travel. Our collaboration in exploration, research, technology and conservation will provide extraordinary travel experi- ences and disseminate geographic knowledge around the globe. Dear Traveler, In recent years more and more people are asking us to provide shorter expeditions on the National Geographic Explorer from time to time. Here you have the best of both worlds. Two relatively short voyages to choose from, or both combined for a longer one. And, because this is coming to you with fairly short notice, we would be delighted to provide you with complimentary economy airfare (see page 24.) Or, if you prefer, business class, we’ll simply charge you the difference. If the Azores and Madeira are on more than a few people’s bucket lists, I’d be very surprised. And I can assure you that few travel companies understand the wonders of these remote islands. However, our team—from the National Geographic experts in our orbit, to our well-traveled expedition team—does. Therefore, we are able to offer you an itinerary that will amply reward your time and curiosity. Our team has custom-crafted discoveries and unforgettable experiences, including the chance to see Madeira’s renowned gardens at their peak. On the second itinerary, we take a route along the Iberian coast that is anything but off-the-beaten track. Portugal and Spain are countries that have drawn travelers like bees to flowers for centuries. Given that we are known for our explorations of remote, untrammeled regions, our interest in this coast may seem surprising. But when you selectively look, as our expedition team will, and regard the coast through the lens of history, culture and nature—familiar lands becomes strange, remarkable and new, and learning becomes a great adventure. Both itineraries offer lovers of history much to love. And fans of food, wine, culture, and beauty will experience a feast for all the senses. Plus, there are engaging people to travel with and learn from. National Geographic photographers Sisse Brimberg and Cotton Coulson will be on both voyages, offering their assistance, plus their engaging “On Assignment” exercises for anyone with a camera who enjoys storytelling (see page 18). Ethnomusicologist Jacob Edgar, also on both voyages, will weave a spell as he contributes to the voyages’ ongoing narrative through music and performances (see page 17). And there’s much more, as you will undoubtedly discover inside. I hope you will decide to experience either, or both, of these uniquely satisfying expeditions through time and history. On behalf of our expedition team, we look forward to the prospect of welcoming you aboard National Geographic Explorer soon. All the best, Sven-Olof Lindblad P.S. Combine these two expeditions into one in-depth journey and save 10% on your voyage cost. Cover photo: One of the historic port wine barges on the Douro River, Oporto.

A verdant paradise of nine islands, strung across some 400 miles of Atlantic Ocean, these islands teem with natural beauty—lush meadows, clear lakes, and ravishing vistas, dotted with ancient stone farmhouses. In a recent survey of the world’s most appealing destinations—islands—National Geographic, using a panel of 522 experts and a survey designed to measure “integrity of place,” rated the Azores among the top 3 of 111 islands surveyed, flanked by Denmark’s Faroes and Norway’s Lofoten Islands. Travelers who have had the opportunity to explore the Faroes or Lofoten with us know. And those yet to experience islands of this caliber are in for a soul-stirring discovery.

  • Candombe Afrouruguayo Y Categorías Étnico-Raciales En Paraná, Santa Fe Y Rosario (Fines Siglo XX a 2015)
    DOCTORADO DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES. Área ANTROPOLOGÍA. Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. “Salir de la blanquitud”: candombe afrouruguayo y categorías étnico-raciales en Paraná, Santa Fe y Rosario (fines siglo XX a 2015) DOCTORANDA: Julia Broguet DIRECTOR DE TESIS: Dr. Alejandro Frigerio CO-DIRECTORA DE TESIS: Dra. Laura Cardini CONSEJERA DE ESTUDIOS: Dra. Silvia Citro 1 RESUMEN. En esta investigación nos proponemos examinar cómo la expansión de una práctica cultural considerada "negra" comprende una creciente interpelación de la construcción de blanquedad del contexto cultural y social al que arriba. Se produce así un cuestionamiento de la narrativa dominante de Argentina como nación ―blanca‖ y ―europea‖ y un replanteo de las identificaciones étnicas y raciales de los sujetos involucrados. Ambas dimensiones convergen y se expresan en una lectura racializada de las espacialidades en diferentes niveles contextuales (urbano y regional); y en la aparición de una nueva mirada sobre la genealogía familiar, que envuelve rasgos de la propia corporalidad. A tal fin, investigamos la expansión del candombe afrouruguayo entre practicantes considerados ―blancos‖, pertenecientes a sectores medios de Paraná, Santa Fe y Rosario. De este modo, trabajamos con la circulación de prácticas culturales racializadas ―negras‖ que se expanden más allá de ―grupos negros‖ (Frigerio y Lamborghini, 2012). ABSTRACT. In this research we look into how the spread of a cultural practice that is considered ―black‖ requires questioning the construction of whiteness of the cultural and social context where it arrives. Thus, it rises a questioning regarding Argentina's dominant narrative as a ―white‖ and ―european‖ nation as well as rethinking the ethnic and racial identifications of the subjects involved.

  • Text of the Introductory Address Delivered By
    TEXT OF THE INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS DELIVERED BY PROFESSOR PATRICK O’FLANAGAN, University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork on 11th May, 2002 on the occasion of the conferring of the Degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, on TIM SEVERIN A Sheansailéir, agus a mhuintir na hOllscoile, Today is a day of recognition and acknowledgement of the work of a traveller. All of us are making a journey in life. The person whom we honour here has spent his life endeavouring to understand the journeys of others and, in so doing, has enriched the lives of many. 'Replica voyage' is the title given in the literature relating to the journeys that retrace the quests of great travellers, many of which have been made hundreds of years ago. I think that this notion of replica voyages deeply underscores Tim Severin’s work and that of many others who have undertaken such missions. To commit oneself to such projects, deep intellectual and physical engagement is necessary. In addition, the publication of fascinating accounts of his travels is inspirational and invaluable. We can only marvel at the courage and spirit of early travellers who embarked on journeys without maps, or even hope. Tim Severin has lived for about thirty years amongst us in Cork entitling him to one seventh of his passport so as to be recognised as a real Corkman! He was born in Assam in India and educated at Oxford where he studied Geography and History. These subjects no doubt whetted his appetite for his subsequent career. We celebrate here today a life’s work consisting of at least ten major journeys which have included the Sinbad voyage, the Genghis Khan mission, the Spice Island voyage and the search for Moby Dick.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} in Search of Genghis Khan an Exhilarating Journey on Horseback Across the Steppes of Mongolia by Tim the Great Escape
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} In Search of Genghis Khan An Exhilarating Journey on Horseback Across the Steppes of Mongolia by Tim The great escape. At a recent talk I gave about my travels, the male organiser pinned a map of the world on the wall behind me, and handed me a pen. He asked me to trace a red line to demonstrate the routes I had travelled for the benefit of the audience. I made a feeble dot. I hadn't really travelled anywhere at all, not in that sense. I don't go on expeditions. The only journey I had taken was to get there; once I had arrived, I had stayed. The Victorian lady traveller Mary Kingsley would have understood. Like many women, she refused to reveal that she had travelled only 70 miles inland, a trek of a few days, in her bestselling book Travels in West Africa, published in 1897. She feared that the lack of a long red line across the map would diminish her reputation. She might have compared herself to her contemporary Paul Du Chaillu, who boasted of having made an 8,000-mile journey through the same area, in the course of which he shot 2,000 birds, 1,000 quadrupeds, and suffered 50 attacks of fever. Kingsley fell sick once. When it comes to far-flung adventures, women have always travelled differently. We tend to hang out, chat, gossip (a much maligned word) and get to know a certain spot and people well. Gertrude Benham, who travelled in Africa and Europe in the early 20th century, liked to swap embroidery and knitting with the locals.

  • Mystics As a Product of Cultural Tourism (On the Example of Georgia’S Archeology)
    European Scientific Journal December 2016 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Mystics as a Product of Cultural Tourism (On the Example of Georgia’s Archeology) Maka Piranashvili, Associate Professor Lamara Kadagidze, Professor Grigol Robakidze University, Tbilisi, Georgia Abstract Tourism is one of the biggest industries in the world the growth of which in a certain country is strongly stipulated by the internal stability, safe environment and an acceptable level of economic development. Orientation on the promotion of tourism requires the implementation of activities ensuring protection of historical, religious and archeological monuments; care of local folklore, traditions and customs and preservation of art and cuisine. Many countries of the world have started offering intangible resources such as myths, legends and mystics in general as tourist products. Using myths and legends as intangible tourist resources to promote tourism in Georgia has great prospects since according to the world experience and researches in psychology; it increases the interest level and motivation to visit a certain destination on both international and domestic levels. Alongside its cultural and historical resources Georgia is notably rich in myths, legends and mystical diversity enabling cultural-mystical tourism to be pushed forward. Georgia is distinguished with its variety of mystical sights. One can often witness a bunch of tourists gathered around local elderly striving to find out weird stories about a travel destination

Brendan is considered to be the first Irish visitor to North America. He was born in Ireland around 489. Some say he was born near Tralee; others say he was born near Killarney. St. Brendan became a Smonk. In the 6th century, many Irish monks were traveling to Europe to establish monasteries as centers of study. They traveled also to lonely islands where they could live close to nature. Legend tells us that St. Brendan and 17 companions left Ireland in an open, leather-covered boat for a voyage of seven years in the North Atlantic, looking for a promised land. It brought them to strange, new lands where they had marvelous adventures. RESOURCES HANDOUTS St. Brendan’s Voyage St. Brendan and His Companions Tim Severin Recreating the Voyage of St.
