Innovation typology in tourism

Innovation is a research topic with a broad tradition. However, learning processes,from which innovations emerge, and the dynamics of change and development havetraditionally been studied in relation with the manufacturing sector. Moreover, theobjects of study have been usually process and tangible product innovations. Althoughrecently researchers have focused their attention in other sectors, more research onservice innovation should be carried out. Furthermore, regarding innovation intourism, there is a need to adapt generic theories to the tourism sector and tocontribute with new ideas.In order to find out, which are the origins of innovation processes, it is necessary tolook into two fundamental subjects that are inherent to innovation, which are learningand interaction. Both are closely related. The first appears to be an intrinsic conditionof individuals. Moreover, it can also be identified in organizations. Thus, learning allowsindividuals as well as organizations to develop. However, learning and development isnot possible without taking the environment into account. Hence, it is necessary thatinteractions take place between individuals, groups of individuals, organizations, etc.Furthermore, the concept of interaction implies the transfer of knowledge, which isthe basis for innovations.The purposes of this master thesis are to study in detail several of these topics and to develop a conceptual framework for the research on innovation in tourism

Lumen Dantis et Lumen Margaretae: el imaginario compartido por Dante Alighieri y Marguerite dicta Porete

In this article we compare the images used by Dante Alighieri with the ones used by her“heretical” contemporary Marguerite Porete (†1310) for expressing the final contact-vision of God. We will analyze the use of the images of light, the gradual ascent and the knot in bothauthors, putting it into the context of the theological doctrines about the visio Dei. This will allow us, in the first place, to claim a shared cultural background based in the conception of God as a visible being and, in the second, to discuss the historical implications ofheteredoxy/ortodoxy in the Commedia and the Mirouer.

Borges: fervor de Dante

Ya son más de una docena los estudios dedicados a la asimilación de Dante en la obra de Borges, pero la dispersión bibliográfica y la carencia de una edición crítica de los textos borgesianos pueden suponer un obstáculo serio para quien pretenda estudiar este aspecto de forma sistemática. Por ello, en este artículo se ofrece una síntesis de los problemas que entraña la presencia de Dante en Borges (cronología de su presencia, tendencias de la crítica y significado de Dante en la poética del escritor argentino). También se ofrece un corpus, ordenado y completo, de las menciones de Dante en las narraciones, ensayos y poemas del bonaerense, que incluye los ensayos que este dedicó a la Comedia, los recuerdos autobiográficos que le conciernen, las menciones generales y precisas, y los comentaristas de Dante que citó a lo largo de sus textos
