Abstract: This paper first discusses the notion of 'competence' in relation to 'learning outcome'. A matrix is proposed to structure the entire professional field of heritage interpretation according to competence areas and levels of proficiency which are linked to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). This matrix structure is used to systematically map the breadth of competences at different levels within the field of heritage interpretation.
The proposed competence framework can be used and adapted: - for training needs assessments - for defining and comparing qualifications, professional development programmes and courses - for curriculum development of training courses or higher education programmes, - for writing job profiles

Abstract: Taking the topos of the Caribbean as paradise as point of departure, this article analyses how Edwidge Danticat’s Claire of the Sea Light and Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao re-write the stereotype of the paradisiacal and picturesque islands. This entails that literary texts and novels, as a form of armchair tourism, potentially offer a form of engagement with poverty in which the voyeuristic gaze can be deflected. Complex literary texts can be a ‘safer’ form of exploring, vicariously experiencing, and thinking about poverty

Abstract: Life Is Elsewhere is a reflective introspection into the life of a young poet and of his demanding mother. Kindera depicts the mother as a woman feeling unworthy of love who relishes the fantasy of being Jaromil's ethereal mother in order to escape from her actual bodily deprivation and resolve her psychological tensions. On the other hand, Jaromil's portrait as a young poet involves his consonant, in Lacan’s terms, imaginary and symbolic identifications which lead him to an unending alienation in the context of a socialist system. Reading the novel in the light of Bakhtin's ideas on parody and its polyphonic nature illuminates Kundera's parodic treatment of motherhood, poetic, political and historical discourses, and especially his use of parody as a political means to oppose the domineering voice of totalitarianism. However, by giving parody an ontological status, Kundera considers it as the inevitable destiny of a human being who has forgotten his authentic "being" and ignored a

Abstract: Bharati Mukherjee is one of the most well known immigrant writers of America. Immigration is an amalgamated journey experience of oneself to another country. Migration separates one from their mother land towards an alien land, where it is marked by new culture and new adjustments. Bharathi Mukherjee's novel wife portrays an immigrant looking back to her mother country with pain and nostalgia. Bharathi Mukherjee had beautifully carved the shapes of the characters that even a normal reader feels the presence of their tribulations as the personal grievances. The present article focuses on the trials and tribulations experienced by the Indian woman migrating to alien lands after her marriage. Dimple, the female protagonist of Bharati Mukherjee's Wife, faces the problem of loss of culture and the quest for a new identity in the US
