Between sacred and profane: religious art in sicily in the diary of a spanish traveller of the eighteenth century
2019
The diary of Antonio Desbrull y Boíl De Arenos's trip to Sicily offers the possibility to observe directly the perception of the sacred art of the author, characterized by an enlightened cultural profile, but far from the neoclassical taste that is the fundamental trait common to many of the contemporary travelers. Desbrull's testimony also allows us to examine some of the main religious buildings on the island, the works contained therein and the architectural decoration, an expression of a baroque taste that strikes and fascinates the author. Sacred art is considered here as a mere aesthetic phenomenon, devoid of the spiritual dimension that lies at the basis of both the commissioning of …
La meta e il percorso. Sguardi e menti di viaggiatori nella Grecia antica
2022
L’articolo indaga alcuni regimi scopici e ‘menti’ degli antichi viaggiatori greci. Esso prende in considerazione: gli sguardi omerici, vari ma tutti legati tra loro dall’essere rivolti verso specifici punti, singoli o, nel quadro di una conoscenza cumulativa, ‘sommati’ gli uni agli altri; il modo di guardare del sapiente, che riflette sulla relazione tra tutto ciò che vede durante il percorso; quello del turista, che concentra l’osservazione sulla meta scelta – a volte anche soltanto per potere raccontare di esservi stato; quello del lettore, che ‘si sposta’ attraverso i libri di viaggio o di storia; e altri sguardi che costituiscono intrecci o variazioni di quelli precedenti, presentandosi…
Determinants of revisit intentions : The main determinants of revisit intentions to Norwegian skiing resorts
2016
Master thesis Business Administration - University of Agder 2016 What are the repurchase intentions of winter tourists in Norway in 2016? What makes them satisfied and what are their motivations? This thesis aims to clarify these themes. Existing theories and models of repurchase intentions in travel and tourism, as well as interview data from visitors, will be used to identify the main determinants of revisit intentions. The inspiration for this study came from the vision of the cluster Arena Usus. The Arena Usus network consists of 100 companies within the travel-, experience- and culture business in the south of Norway and they focus on repurchase within travel and tourism and its value.…
Self-reported life-space mobility in the first year after ischemic stroke: longitudinal findings from the MOBITEC-Stroke project
2023
Abstract Background Life-space mobility is defined as the size of the area in which a person moves about within a specified period of time. Our study aimed to characterize life-space mobility, identify factors associated with its course, and detect typical trajectories in the first year after ischemic stroke. Methods MOBITEC-Stroke (ISRCTN85999967; 13/08/2020) was a cohort study with assessments performed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after stroke onset. We applied linear mixed effects models (LMMs) with life-space mobility (Life-Space Assessment; LSA) as outcome and time point, sex, age, pre-stroke mobility limitation, stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; NIHSS), modified R…
"Podróż dla przyjemności przez Górny Śląsk". Obraz krainy konstruowany przez niemieckiego turystę na progu XIX wieku
2017
Leisure trip through Upper Silesia is the text of a German author anonymously published in the „Schlesische Provinzial-Blätter” in 1805 (No. 41; German title – Lustreise durch Oberschlesien). Until now, it was perceived in the political dimension. It was believed that the text was to present glorious development of the region under Prussian rule and, therefore, it was interpreted as a justification for the benefits born out of conquest. The article’s author concluded that the content of this guide can be perceived slightly different, namely, in the perspective of developing travel literature in its various forms in the nineteenth century. Only through a combination of dual perspectives: 1) …
