Tourism destination research from 2000 to 2020: A systematic narrative review in conjunction with bibliographic mapping analysis

Literature reviews serve as cornerstones for advancing the corpus of existing knowledge. This article offers an overview of the evolution of destination studies from 2000 to 2020. The current study first overviews 20 destination review articles and then applies bibliometric algorithms to determine authorships, popular topics, thematic clusters, and structural variations in 1393 destination studies. The bibliometric analysis identifies the seven largest specialties of destination research as destination loyalty, destination image, destination digitalization, destination marketing, destination experience and recommendation, destination governance, and destination resources. A framework was developed to illustrate the major topics of interest at the macro, meso, and micro levels. The article discusses similarities and contrasts between the findings of the two review methodologies and concludes with a research agenda for destination management scholarship.     

对洁尘小说《锦瑟无端》叙述时间的符号学解读

洁尘擅于以细腻与安静的叙述格调书写世俗生活。在小说《锦瑟无端》中她却对一贯的叙述方式作出相应调整,以"元叙述"成分和互文符号的熟练操作,在现代世俗生活中不断回望过去与放大内心,寻找隐匿的甚至是消失的历史感,还原现代化中被飞速增长的符号挤压的属于个体的庞大内心,以此既继续在"低调踏实的世俗意味"中获得简单的快乐与认同,又呈现出对生存的更多元与更深入的体认。     

论《姐妹们》的现代主义文学特征

《姐妹们》是乔伊斯的处女作,从某种程度上说是乔伊斯所有小说的开端。然而在国内外,该小说被长期忽视、误断因此被低估,被认为是以莫泊桑和契诃夫式的现实主义手法写成。该小说从异化主题、顿悟模式和＂显示＂叙事等方面显示其现代性,因此可以说它是现代短篇小说的先声。     

论历史叙事的可靠性

长期以来,不少研究者总是以＂实录＂和＂虚构＂来区分历史叙事和文学叙事,认为真实与否是界定历史叙事和文学叙事的基本标志。事实上,历史叙事中隐含着不少的虚构成分,历史并不是总以真实面目示人。     

Brand placement repetition in a fictional text

This paper investigates the effect of brand name repetition on brand attitude in the context of a fictional text. Furthermore, it tests the moderating impact of brand familiarity, narrative transportation, and individual differences in need for cognition (NFC). Participants in an experiment read the full text of a real short-story, which featured the target brand. Brand name repetition and brand familiarity were systematically manipulated. The results show that brand name repetition affects attitude towards an unfamiliar brand and readers’ narrative transportation and NFC moderate this effect: Attitude towards the brand improves with repetition only when both transportation and NFC are relatively high. No effects were found for the familiar brand.     

现代白话叙事的语义逻辑和生命场域

“现代白话语言／生命场域／时间”三位一体，在现代主体的反思观照中形成意涵丰富的纲领句式，并作为叙事逻辑框架统率整个叙述，构成中国现代小说的叙事特质。现代白话常常融入欧化的、能包客复杂意涵的句式；在时间的断裂中，中国现代叙事主体入新出旧；叙述对象兼处现代时间断裂中的不同生命场域——理想与经典的现代白话叙事正是对这三者的整合。     

The Structure of Voluntary Disclosure Narratives: Evidence from Tone Dispersion

We examine tone dispersion, or the degree to which tone words are spread evenly within a narrative, to evaluate whether narrative structure provides insight into managers’ voluntary disclosures and users’ responses to those disclosures. We find that tone dispersion is associated with current aggregate and disaggregated performance and future performance, managers’ financial reporting decisions, and managers’ incentives and actions to manage perceptions. Furthermore, we find that tone dispersion is associated with analysts’ and investors’ responses to conference call narratives. Our results suggest that tone dispersion both reflects and affects the information that managers convey through their narratives.     

The Prestige disaster: risk or danger?

The sinking of the Prestige off the coast of Galicia in north-west Spain in November 2002 was an enormous environmental disaster and it had an immense media impact both nationally and internationally, lasting weeks as a social and political phenomenon. Five days before the ship sank, the captain had reported to the maritime authorities that the old tanker was damaged and in trouble. During these five days leading up to the shipwreck, a crucial decision had to be made: what should be done with this dangerous oil tanker? Temporality is a property of the hazardous events which, after being noticed, are evaluated as imminent or deferred. This temporality makes a clear difference between a risk and a danger. Whereas the risk has time to anticipate the events, danger has just a very short time or even has no time. At this point, the Prestige disaster turns to be paradigmatic. To tow away this damaged oil tanker was a risk decision which estimated that there was still a time to prevent its running aground what meant to follow the story repeatedly told by the narrative context of risk. However, the Prestige had been spilling out oil all the time and the damage was not a probability but a fait accompli. This accident has not a risk temporality; in fact, it had not temporality at all because it demanded an immediate intervention. My conclusion here is that this crisis was managed in terms of risk when it should have been treated as a danger situation.     

PERFORMANCE AUDITING AND THE NARRATING OF A NEW AUDITEE IDENTITY

This paper analyzes how performance auditing affects the auditee in different and sometimes unexpected ways. On the basis of a detailed case study of the Danish Ministry of Transport's encounter with performance auditing we argue that performance audit is a practice that generates multiple effects and that some of these effects can be characterized as a reconfiguration of the organizational identity of the auditee. In this process, accountabilities are reformulated and reallocated which sometimes lead to ‘blame games’ and strong feelings of discomfort. We draw on actor‐network theory and a narrative approach to study how performance audit reports produce narratives that picture new possible identities that the auditee in question must take into consideration. We argue that auditee identities are partly shaped by relations to ‘significant others’, such as the National Audit Office, the politicians and the press who all give accounts of who the Ministry is and ought to be. Furthermore, we argue that accounting and management information systems are enrolled as important ‘nonhuman’ actors that enable the suggested identity positions.
