“…However, the relationship between tourism and banana farming is not always smooth. Snow (2007) did an ethnographic study in a Panamanian village where tourism rapidly replaced banana farming and concluded that there were changes even in the vernacular, with the adoption of a more cultured language. Bagdonis et al (2009) studied three farms that produced a variety of products, including bananas, on a small scale, and concluded that while there was a lot of potential for the growth of agrotourism and even some interest from farmers, there was at the same time a fear that farmers, by engaging more in tourism, would have less time to devote to agricultural production and their traditional methods, and a lack of support from their association for marketing products during visits.…”

This article aims to identify the prioritized tourism indicators in the banana plantation regions of northern State of Santa Catarina [Brasil]. Tourism in the banana plantation area benefits from the preservation of the Atlantic Forest. The agroecological production model generates interest and involvement of people in the development of tourism in the region. This study was developed through a qualitative and quantitative approach, survey procedure, and questionnaire via survey. Bivariate correlation tests were developed with environmental preservation as the independent variable. Thus, the use of the matrix was listed in order of priority: the need for greater appreciation regarding the Designation of Origin, promotion of family farming, promotion of gastronomic tourism, development of the hotel sector, and encouragement of local entrepreneurship. A model of tourism indicators related to banana farming and the importance of environmental preservation was proposed. The findings benefit residents and producers, tourism providers, and people involved in the formulation of policies to encourage travel and environmental preservation around banana plantations.

“…Peter Snow (2007) takes a more processual and historical approach to the relationship between norms of speech and spatial organization. He compares a recent revalorization of Creole on the Panamanian island of Bastimentos (which had been under threat from Spanish, Panama's predominant language) to shifts in vernacular architectural styles, in order to consider how changing regimes of prestige operate across multiple domains.…”

Voices in a Sea of History: Why Study Language in the Caribbean

In celebration of the 15th anniversary of this journal's name change, I situate recent linguistic anthropological scholarship in the Caribbean in a broader, interdisciplinary context. Caribbean ways of speaking—and especially contact languages such as creoles—have often been exceptionalised and subject to stereotypes. Taking Derek Walcott's “sea of history” as a key trope, I discuss the historical crosscurrents that have produced the diversity of Caribbean voices and their impact on the politics of language today. Attending to issues of voice and poetics demonstrates the creative mobilization of linguistic resources to impact politics, media, children's socialization, identity claims, and reclamations of deep ancestry. Such efforts contest the scholarly fragmentation of a region framed as having too much history and too shallow roots, to show productive connections with a broader anthropology of the Americas. The goal of this review is to make a compelling case for the ethnographic study of language in the Caribbean.

“…. [the] tendency to associate the word with a local form of speech and a local form of art and decoration' (Jackson, 1984: 85, 149) whereby the vernacular is linguistically rooted to a particular locality or areal unit (see Snow, 2007). So far, so prosaic.…”

Harnessing the cartographic attributes of line, contour and legend, this paper generates a conceptual vocabulary attentive to the proliferation in everyday mapping. By developing theoretical work that questions the representational certitude of cartography, the paper argues that attention needs to be focused on the non-representational vectors of mapping. This is to establish the grounds for future empirical research into quotidian cartographies and their politics. Instead of categorizing these variegated, mapping practices as either 'counter' or 'indigenous' movements, the notion of 'vernacular mapping' is proposed as one way in which geographers might begin to encounter the vibrant micropolitics of contemporary cartography.
