ASSUMPTIONS OF LINKING INNOVATION AND BRANDING THE HIGH-PROFILE PROJECT IN TOURISM SECTOR

Abstract: Tourism is a factor for development. In this way, evidence confirmed that tourism can be a major player in the transformation of the economy and the promotion of sustainable development. Tourism prospects are closely tied to general economic prospect. The contact with the modern creation helps in the understanding and profound knowledge of habits, tendencies, ways of thinking of the indigenous, contributes in the spiritual uplift and in the conscience that the world is not limited to our only personal area of activity. Also it could be discussed how to develop tourism plans. It is important to formulate a plan and techniques how to use it, how to incorporate it, the importance of this plan and the influence of area characteristics on planning.
In this way, the most of the discussion of innovation focuses on new products and technologies, but innovation is based on challenging existing assumptions and ways of thinking. One option to develop new ways of thinking and innovation in tourism is to argue that there is no such thing as sustainable tourism. Tourism may contribute to the sustainable development of some regions under some circumstances, then a number of new approaches to tourism development emerge. So, stronger links may emerge between tourism and other economic activities and development options. The existence of additional criteria could be used to evaluate different potential tourism developments and makes suggestions about the development of sustainability performance indicators.
So primarly, it is essential to highlights the importance of better knowledge management systems to support innovation in tourism.

TWENTY REASONS TO (RE) READ KARA KİTAP BY ORHAN PAMUK

Abstract: In the article, a scientific literary view is presented in regards to Orhan Pamuk’s novel Kara Kitap, which has an important role in both Turkish and European postmodern novel histories. While in tone and archetechtonics, it is in line with literary scientific essay specifications, the article reflects the developmental stages of narrative in Turkish and Western literature using intra-text parallelism with Tanpanar, Eco Borhes, Kalvino. When it is considered that reading and re-reading is in itself a process of interpretation, it is no suprise that an anthology consisting of literary and sociological readings of Kara Kitap, which has been the subject of countless discussions and commentary, has been published.

THE VISIONARY NARRATOR

Abstract: In a discussion of the concept of visionary the paper dwells on different aspects of its narrative interpretation, such as a visionary narrator, a visionist narrator, an artist-narrator. On the basis of fiction narratives, theoretical essays and speculations, interpretations and interviews with Orhan Pamuk, the article looks for interfaces between painting, graphics, photography, comics and the novel. What is looked for is the technological foundation of the narrative visualisation in the novel. On the basis of Lessing's ideas of the boundaries between paining and poetry, and theories, such as those of Italo Calvino, Jose Ortega y Gasset, Umberto Eco and Jonathan Culler, the article finds justification for Pamuk's idea of the imminent encounter between the naive and the sentimental writer in post-modern narrative fiction, a discussion which is taken further to a reflection on the present and the future development of the novel genre.

FAKE NEWS – BRAKE OPINION

Abstract: The article focuses on the mechanisms by which fake news becomes part of the general erosion of public opinion, understood as a temporarily sustainable collective notion associated not only with axiology, but also with practical actions following axiology. It is suggested that the new media environment, in which anonymity dominates, returns the status of texts to a situation that reminds of a time when folklore (understood at the popular level as an authorless folk spoken work) dominates the author's literary text. The results of this can be searched in many directions. One of them is that the classical notion of public opinion formulated by Walter Lippmann in the distant 1922 and associated with the idea that journalism builds a lasting and generally valid public opinion, influencing the peculiarities of society and the social hierarchy formed in it, is not valid. New media no longer form public opinion, but a public suspicion .
