From the perspective of Goffman's theories of self-presentation, travel blogs can be described as narratives that indicate the different roles occupied by an individual's online self. A blogger may discursively position the self as a traveler, rather than a tourist, a dichotomy that underpins much critical debate in the area of travel and tourism studies, thus creating tensions within the blog. These tensions are heightened when blogs presented as accounts of travel are published as guidebooks or books that promote tourism. It can be argued that in such cases the act of publishing commercializes these narratives and introduces an element of touristic discourse. Moreover, the choice of either a legacy publisher or a self-publishing service can have implications for how a travel blogger may be presented and perceived as a reputable published author. Against this background, this article explores how travel blogs negotiate the discursive tensions produced as a result of the presentation of various aspects of self, particularly as a published author and as a traveler as opposed to a tourist.

Die gängigen Ratgeber zum Thema Indoor Air Pollution, wie "Gift im Wohnzimmer" (BA 11/94), "Innenraumluft" (ID 38/93), "Zimmerluft - dicke Luft" (BA 4/93), haben ihren Schwerpunkt im privaten Wohnbereich. Welche Faktoren und Ursachen das aus der Innenraum-Luftverschmutzung entstehende Sick Building Syndrom (SBS) vor allem auch im gewerblichen Bereich hat, wird hier umfassend von 3 Experten beschrieben. Zunächst sind die Grundlagen der Luft- und Wohnungshygiene mit ihren chemischen, pysikalischen und physiologischen Kenndaten, Norm- und Toleranzwerten behandelt (MAK/BAT). Des weiteren werden die verschiedenen Schadstoffe im Innenraum - Verbrennungsprodukte, flüchtige organische Verbindungen sowie Stäube, Fasern und Bioaerosole - hinsichtlich ihrer toxikologischen Wirkung bewertet. Schließlich werden die nachweisbaren somatischen wie psychosomatischen Reaktionen des Menschen auf die verschiedenen Belastungen beschrieben und daraus die komplexe Symptomatik des SBS abgeleitet. - Vorrangig für Fachleute (Ärzte, Architekten, Gebäudeverwalter usw.).

The research is devoted to the analysis of the 'narrative about the author' in interviews with contemporary writers. Modern literary process is characterized by reconfiguration and reevaluation of the writerreader- text system. The author's persona, their direct speech intended for different types of readership are coming to the fore. In interviews, a special 'narrative about the author' (self-identification as a writer) is formed. The author of the article comes to a conclusion that writers are faced with the necessity of public self-reflection, self-commenting, i. e. creation of a metatext – a second-order text about one's own creative work; they become self-interpreters, gaining the ability to influence the reader's perception vectors, while shifting from the sphere of the sacred to the sphere of consumption. Text as a communication act ceases to be alienated from the author (the author-text-reader relationship becomes horizontal), the reader perceives the work through the model of personality that the writer has presented to the public. It is necessary to study the author's narrative of self-representation as a system of voluntary or repressive conventions adopted by the author (narrative framework), restrictions imposed by the author on themselves, and ways of their representation, taking into account the problem of verification of this self-representation. The way the 'narrative about the author' is arranged is determined by many factors; the description of those can serve as an illustration of the dynamics of modern writers' views on the essence of literary creativity and the mission of the writer in the time of literary centrality coming to collapse. The study of the 'narrative about the author' is relevant in the context of understanding the complexity of determining the main artistic trends of the present time. The research is based on the material of interviews with the writer E. Vodolazkin devoted to his novel Lavr.
