Entre "o céu e a areia": turismo, viagens e expedições. Mapeando discursos e práticas sobre a Mauritânia

A situação periférica da Mauritânia na cartografia dos interesses imperiais, mas também na cartografia dos circuitos e interesses do turismo contemporâneo, foi o mote para esta dissertação. Nela se procura estruturar uma genealogia das construções discursivas sobre o país, produzidas pelo ocidente, com especial incidência para a forma como o território foi promovido turisticamente. Através de uma aproximação fundamentalmente cronológica, esta genealogia é construída num primeiro momento a partir da análise de narrativas de diversos tipos (mapeamento, conquista, viagens, etc.) que se produziram sobre a Mauritânia desde o século XV até ao século XX. O segundo momento de construção desta genealogia incide sobre a forma como a Mauritânia foi promovida turisticamente no quadro das colónias da África Ocidental Francesa. Aí se explora o seu “estatuto periférico” através da análise de guias e brochuras turísticas, mas também através da forma como o território foi exibido nas exposições coloniais realizadas na metrópole. Num terceiro momento, a ênfase é posta na forma como foi organizado o sector do turismo na Mauritânia pós-colonial, e procura-se aferir da operacionalidade da “nostalgia colonial” associada ao deserto enquanto principal atractivo turístico do país. Finalmente, e a partir de dados etnográficos e da realização de entrevistas recolhidas em Nouakchott, pretende-se reflectir sobre a actual crise no sector turístico mauritano, bem como sobre as reconfigurações sociais concomitantemente operadas por esta crise.
