Sob o Signo do Logro : a Mulher e o Amor na Ficção Queirosiana

Centrada na obra de Eça de Queirós, a presente dissertação tem como principal finalidade perceber de que forma o logro, a desilusão e a solidão se encontram associados à imagem da Mulher e à temática do Amor. Assim, partindo de uma análise às personagens femininas dos romances deste escritor, chegamos a temas como as “máscaras” do indivíduo na socie-dade, as quais estão intimamente ligadas à hipocrisia, à mentira e, por vezes, ao ridículo. Será este o fio condutor que percorrerá todo o texto, ligando os assuntos supracitados a questões tão abrangentes como a interrogação identitária, decorrente da projeção do Eu no Outro, ou os valores da sociedade oitocentista, onde as mulheres assumem um papel cen-tral – para o melhor e para o pior.

A segurança no terrorismo e na indústria dos eventos

Nowadays, safety and security regarding the tourism and events industries are a fundamental subject to society. Portugal’s tourism has significantly increased its number of visitors, whether due to the increasing number of cruisers docking in Lisbon, or due to visitors arriving by air, travelling the country from North to South and staying in the most varied accommodation units. Issues like human security and internal security of the different countries, even the security in the world, as development factors of a modern society, are discussed on a daily basis. On the contrary, few deal with tourism and major events security as being part of internal security, as well as the existing barriers tourism encounters to integrate the system for fighting terrorism. Although two distinct activities, they are complementary and may influence the country’s economy, provided that they can offer certainty to all actors involved. It is this substance that organised crime groups look for when planning terror acts. Therefore, as tourism can offer deception and shelter opportunities and events the theatre of a possible attack, those events assemble all the necessary conditions for an attack to achieve its goals.
