This article analyses the painted panels of the moliceiro boat, a traditional working boat of the Ria de Aveiro region of Portugal. The article examines how the painted panels have been invented and reinvented over time. The boat and its panels are contextualized both within the changing socio-economic conditions of the Ria de Aveiro region, and the changing socio-political conditions of Portugal throughout the 20th century and until the present day. The article historically analyses the social significance of ‘moliceiro culture’, examining in particular the power relations it expresses and its ambiguous past and present relationships with the political and the economic powers of the Portuguese state. The article unpacks some of the complexity of the relations that have pertained between public and private, local and national, folk culture and ‘art’, and popular and institutional in the Ria de Aveiro region in particular, and Portugal more generally.

Numa primeira abordagem a A Lady’s Visit to Manilla and Japan (1863), de Anna D’Almeida, os leitores não deverão esperar encontrar a narrativa de uma experiência que poderia ter sido produzida por um desses “Etonnants voyageurs! Quelles nobles histoires / Nous lisons dans vos yeux profonds comme les mers!”, citando o último poema de Les Fleurs du Mal de Baudelaire. Nem deverão esperar ser confrontados com o relato superficial de uma turista indolente sobre a diversão convencional ou o previsível choque moral experimentados durante as várias etapas do seu grand tour pessoal, tão em voga, e que são característicos deste tipo de literatura, particularmente popular no campo emergente do turismo do final do século xix. Neste artigo, proponho-me analisar a escrita feminina occidental no contexto dos encontros culturais, mais precisamente, as imagens que uma viajante ocidental do século xix cria a partir da sua breve exposição a vários espaços e práticas da Ásia. A família D’Almeida viajou pelo Extremo Oriente entre Março e Julho de 1862. O título A Lady’s Visit to Manilla and Japan induz em erro, pois a narrativa começa em Singapura e termina em Hong Kong, mas a família visitou também Macau, Xangai, Nagasáqui, Yokohama, Xiamen (Hokkien) e Cantão, entre outros lugares, atestando assim o profundo desejo dos D’Almeida de explorar in loco todas as potencialidades dos países visitados Neste estudo tenciono demonstrar as complexidades que existem dentro de / entre as histórias, experiências e actividades interculturais de mulheres, e como estas alargam o âmbito do estudo dos sistemas sociais e culturais. Ao examinar as diferenças e semelhanças de género, podemos elaborar construções teóricas que analisam as variações entre mulheres; como elas são influenciadas pela classe, raça, etnia e religião; e como estas moldam a forma como entendemos a posição da mulher na cultura e na sociedade. O preconceito de classe da elite ocidental considera a mulher não-ocidental como sendo ‘a outra’, alguém que representa aquilo que o escritor ocasional não é. A questão da representação feminina das suas congéneres como ‘mulheres-outras’, com base numa ampla variedade de diferenças, é definitivamente um desafio para os estudos interculturais e de género.

Este estudo teve como objetivo: explorar o significado do conceito de competência cultural, a fim de clarificá-lo na prática de enfermagem. Foi utilizada a metodologia tradicional de análise de conceito proposto por Walker e Avant, nos 15 textos selecionados da EBSCOhost e da Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde. Concluiu-se que a associação entre as características ético-humanitárias pessoais e profissionais, a habilidade cultural com foco na comunicação e o conhecimento cultural são identificadas como as principais características para a existência do conceito.

We study market reaction to the announcements of the selected country hosting the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, the World Football Cup, the European Football Cup and World and Specialized Exhibitions. We generalize previous results analyzing a large number and different types of mega-events, evaluate the effects for winning and losing countries, investigate the determinants of the observed market reaction and control for the ex ante probability of a country being a successful bidder. Average abnormal returns measured at the announcement date and around the event are not significantly different from zero. Further, we find no evidence supporting that industries, that a priori were more likely to extract direct benefits from the event, observe positive significant effects. Yet, when we control for anticipation, the stock price reactions around the announcements are significant.

The present paper results of an ongoing research project were it is expected to develop an information system to monitoring a cultural-touristic route. The route to monitor is the Romanesque Route of Tâmega. This Route is composed of 58 monuments located in the region of Tâmega in the North of Portugal. Due to the particular location of this region, that is between coastal zone, but not yet in the inland, it has a weak political influence, and it is reflected in the low levels of development at several levels, observed. The Romanesque Route was implemented in a part of this region in 1998, and enlarged to the all-region in 2010. In order to evaluate the socio-ecomonic impact of this route in the region a research project is being developed. The main goal of this paper is to open a discussion on the elements that must be taken into consideration to evaluate the economic and social impact of a touristic cultural route within a region and this one in particular.

The main aim of this essay is to present the discursive approaches to Translation Studies (TS) as a well-established field of inquiry about translation phenomena. The term ‘discourse’ itself, however, has been considered a contentious one given its multitude of uses without a clear conceptualization as to whether its use and application privilege a more linguistic orientation or a more sociologically and culturally trend to the study of language. The essay, therefore, briefly discusses what counts as ‘discursive’ in TS by introducing the reader to the principal theories that advocate an essentially ‘discursive turn’ in orientation. After that, the essay explores in depth Systemic-Functional Linguistics as a foundational approach to the study of translation. Finally, the essay brings in the advantages of such an approach and, in the end, invites TS theoreticians to give special attention to the uses of the term ‘discourse’ within their investigations.

O estudo das curvas características de um transístor permite conhecer um conjunto de parâmetros essenciais à sua utilização tanto no domínio da amplificação de sinais como em circuitos de comutação. Deste estudo é possível obter dados em condições que muitas vezes não constam na documentação fornecida pelos fabricantes. O trabalho que aqui se apresenta consiste no desenvolvimento de um sistema que permite de forma simples, eficiente e económica obter as curvas características de um transístor (bipolar de junção, efeito de campo de junção e efeito de campo de metal-óxido semicondutor), podendo ainda ser utilizado como instrumento pedagógico na introdução ao estudo dos dispositivos semicondutores ou no projecto de amplificadores transistorizados. O sistema é constituído por uma unidade de condicionamento de sinal, uma unidade de processamento de dados (hardware) e por um programa informático que permite o processamento gráfico dos dados obtidos, isto é, traçar as curvas características do transístor. O seu princípio de funcionamento consiste na utilização de um conversor Digital-Analógico (DAC) como fonte de tensão variável, alimentando a base (TBJ) ou a porta (JFET e MOSFET) do dispositivo a testar. Um segundo conversor fornece a variação da tensão VCE ou VDS necessária à obtenção de cada uma das curvas. O controlo do processo é garantido por uma unidade de processamento local, baseada num microcontrolador da família 8051, responsável pela leitura dos valores em corrente e em tensão recorrendo a conversores Analógico-Digital (ADC). Depois de processados, os dados são transmitidos através de uma ligação USB para um computador no qual um programa procede à representação gráfica, das curvas características de saída e à determinação de outros parâmetros característicos do dispositivo semicondutor em teste. A utilização de componentes convencionais e a simplicidade construtiva do projecto tornam este sistema económico, de fácil utilização e flexível, pois permite com pequenas alterações

The premise of this paper is that a model for communicating the national value system must start from a strategy aimed at the identification, the cultivation and communication of values that give consistency to the value system. The analysis concentrates on the elements of such strategies and on the implications of applying a value communication program on the identity architecture of the community. The paper will also discuss the role of the national value system in the context of the emerging global culture, where the individual has the power to create his/her own hybrid cultural model.

A Educação Musical deve constituir cada vez mais um campo privilegiado de manifestação e desenvolvimento da multiculturalidade e interculturalidade. Para tanto, é obviamente necessário não só que tais sejam os propósitos dos currículos e programas, mas que tal se torne efectivo na prática pedagógica, o que por sua vez exige a existência de material de apoio adequado, com especial ênfase para os manuais escolares. Este estudo pretende, através da análise de conteúdo dos três manuais escolares de Educação Musical mais utilizados no 5º Ano do Ensino Básico (2000/2004), verificar qual a relevância efectivamente conferida àqueles conceitos na prática pedagógica que esses manuais orientam. A metodologia adoptada assentou na construção de um conjunto de indicadores de caracterização de propostas de audição de exemplos musicais e de canções contidas nos manuais, que permitiram inferir sustentadamente a existência ou não de uma filosofia de educação multicultural e intercultural suficientemente consolidada. A discussão dos resultados da análise realizada permitiu concluir que os manuais estudados não cumprem cabalmente as exigências da actual diversidade cultural do universo escolar, uma vez que os materiais de suporte (audição e canção) de desenvolvimento da interculturalidade e multiculturalidade se apresentam claramente insuficientes e muito pouco contextualizados.

In a time of fierce competition between regions, an image serve as a basis to develop a strong sense of community, which fosters trust and cooperation that can be mobilized for regional growth. A positive image and reputation could be used in the promotional activities of the region benefiting all the stakeholders as a whole. Mega cultural events are frequently used to attract tourists and investments to a region, but also to enhance the city’s image. This study adopts a marketing/communication perspective of city’s image, and intends to explain how the image of the city is perceived by their residents. Specifically, we intend to compare the perceptions of residents that effectively participated in the Guimarães European Capital of Culture (ECOC) 2012 (engaged residents), and the residents that only assisted to the event (attendees). Several significant findings are reported and their implications for event managers and public policy administrators presented, along with the limitations of the study
Transient Spaces: unsettling boundaries and norms at the cultural event Noc Noc, Guimarães, Portugal
Resumo:
Cities are increasingly expected to be creative, inventive and to exhibit intense expressivity. In the past decades many cities have experienced growing pressure to produce and stage cultural events of different sorts and to develop new strategies that optimize competitive advantages, in order to promote themselves and to boost and sell their image. Often these actions have relied on heavy public investment and major private corporation sponsoring, but it is not always clear or measured how successful and reproductive these investments have been. In the context of strained public finances and profound economic crisis of European peripheral countries, events that emerge from local communities and have low budgets, which manage to create significant fluxes of visitors and visibility, assume an increased interest. In order to reflect and sketch possible answers, we look to an emerging body of literature concerning creative cities, and we focus on the organisation of a particular cultural event and its impact and assimilation into a medium size Portuguese city. This paper looks at the two editions (2011 and 2012) of one of such events – Noc Noc – organized by a local association in the city of Guimarães, Portugal. Inspired by similar events, Noc Noc is based on creating transient spaces of culture which are explored by artists and audiences, by transforming numerous homes into ephemeral convivial and playful social ‘public’ environments. The event is based on a number of cultural venues/homes scattered around the old and newer city, which allows for an informal urban exploration and an autonomous rambling and getting lost along streets. This strategy not only disrupts the cleavages between public and private space permitting for various transgressions, but it also disorders normative urban experiences and unsettles the dominant role of the city council as the culture patron of the large majority of events. Guimarães, an UNESCO World Heritage City was the European Capital of Culture in 2012, with a public investment of roughly 73 million euro. By interviewing a sample of people who have hosted these transitory art performances and exhibitions, sometimes doubling as artists, the events’ organizers and by experience both editions of the event, this paper illustrates how urban citizens’ engagement and motivations in a low budget cultural event can strengthen community ties. Furthermore, it also questions the advantages of large scale high budget events, and how this event may be seen as unconscious counter movement against a commodification of cultural events and everyday urban experience at large, engaging with the concepts of staging and authenticity.

Given the significant impact that cultural events may have in local communities and the inherent organization complexity, it is important to understand their specificities. Most of the times cultural events disregard marketing and often marketing is distant from art. Thus an analysis of an inside perspective might bring significant returns to the organization of such an event. This paper considers the three editions (2011, 2012 and 2013) of a cultural event – Noc Noc – organized by a local association in the city of Guimarães, Portugal. Its format is based in analogous events, as Noc Noc intends to convert everyday spaces (homes, commercial outlets and a number of other buildings) into cultural spaces, processed and transformed by artists, hosts and audiences. By interviewing a sample of people (20) who have hosted this cultural event, sometimes doubling as artists, and by experiencing the three editions of the event, this paper illustrates how the internal public understands this particular cultural event, analyzing specifically their motivations, ways of acting and participating, as well as their relationship with the public, with the organization of the event and with art in general. Results support that artists and hosts motivations must be identified in a timely and appropriate moment, as well as their views of this particular cultural event, in order to keep them participating, since low budget cultural events such as this one may have a key role in small scale cities.
