Estratégias de internacionalização para a indústria têxtil e do vestuário

O artigo inicia-se com uma breve caracterização do sector têxtil e de vestuário (ITV), a que se segue a formulação das estratégias de internacionalização que se oferecem pertinentes para as empresas da indústria. Estas estratégias são apresentadas segundo o seu posicionamento na cadeia de valor: a montante do processo produtivo referem-se o sourcing e a antena colectiva; centrado no processo produtivo avança-se com a filial produtiva, a licença, a subcontratação e o comakership; a jusante adianta-se a filial comercial, a exportação, o show room permanente, o piggy back, a franquia, o consórcio de exportação, o grupo de exportadores e os clubes de empresas. O artigo finaliza com uma sistematização das estratégias de internacionalização, equacionando-se a probabilidade da sua aplicação às principais áreas de negócio da indústria (têxtil técnico e funcional, têxtil lar e vestuário).

Voices in search of a reader: the polyphonic writing of António Lobo Antunes

This paper aims at analysing the writing of the Portuguese author António Lobo Antunes, considered one of the major writers in European Literature with 26 books published, by focusing on the strategies deployed in his texts of creating micro-narratives within the main frame, and conveying the elements of individual and collective memory, past and present, the self and the others, using various voices and silences. Lobo Antunes incorporates in his writing his background as a psychiatrist at a Mental Hospital in Lisbon, until 1985 (when he decided to commit exclusively to writing), his experience as a doctor in the Portuguese Colonial War battlefield, but also the daily routines of the pre and post 25th of April 1974 (Portuguese Revolution) with subtle and ironic details of the life of the middle and upper class of Lisbon‘s society: from the traumas of the war to the simple story of the janitor, or the couple who struggles to keep their marriage functional, everything serves as material to develop and interweave a complex plot, that a lot of readers find too enwrapped and difficult to follow through. Some excerpts taken from his first three novels and books of Chronicles and his later novel – Ontem não te Vi em Babilónia (2006) – will be put forward to exemplify the complexity of the writing and the main difficulties of the reader, lost in a multitude of narrators‘ voices. Recently, Lobo Antunes has commented on his work stating: What I write can be read in the darkness. This paper aims at throwing some light by unfolding some of the strategies employed to defy new borders in the process of reading.
