Val d’Hérens (Suisse) : une histoire des transitions (touristiques) manquées by Marjolaine Gros-Balthazard, Caterina Franco, Anouk Bonnemains

“…The originality of this work lies in its focus on a range of unfulfilled tourism development projects in a mountain valley drawn up between 1900 and 2020. The study of the relationships between the (material, ideal and institutional) dimensions within the concept of territory and constitutive of the projectual processes makes it possible to reveal the explanatory factors of the tourist transitions, which did not happen but were “missed”. …”

“…Mazaher Mossafa’s poems or continuant couplets  which are collected in ‘The Proceedings’ (Noskhe-ye Eghdam) are noteworthy from different perspectives: the interaction between the poetic side and narrative aspect; the romantic color; story-telling and the transition of memories, especially childhood ones; parading personal experiences and describing the details; climatic coloring and the reflection of the folklore, passing through the most personal agonies to national distress or even the historical injuries of Iran; the role of association in altering atmospheres; weird conversations, from addressing a mountain to addressing a mirror and even to addressing his two year old brother passed away before the birth of the poet but granted his name and memory and birth  certificate to him. …”
