"Aqui se faz Gostoso”: uma etnografia do turismo em São Miguel do Gostoso (RN)

This study it is an ethnography on the process of the tourist coast area of São Miguel do Gostoso, whose origin is made from a village of traditional fishermen located on the northeast coast of Rio Grande do Norte. From the late 90s, there were the first initiatives that transformed São Miguel do Gostoso in one of the state's major tourist destinations. The municipality is promoted within the national and international tourism scene through the sun and beach tourism - whose object of consumption is the natural landscape - and sports tourism - which exploited element is the "natural" geographic location (in the continent curve) of municipality that provides winds considered ideal for the practice of “Kitesurfing “ and Windsurfing. From this context, this ethnography had as a theme the social changes promoted by the tourism process in place here addressed, taking into account the perceptions produced by the actors involved in this social net. In this qualitative research, I endeavored to me in the methodological use of ethnographic techniques - bibliographic and field research, participant observation, open and structured interviews recorded by recording and field notes and photographic record. I also made use of theoretical tools and methodology inherent in ciberetnografia when analyzing the blogs and websites of intermediaries and institutions linked to local tourism.

La influencia de Miguel de Éfeso en las interpretaciones recientes del prólogo del De Motu Animalium de Aristóteles

Las interpretaciones contemporáneas del De Motu Animalium de Aristóteles dependen en gran medida del primer comentario realizado acerca del tratado, los comentarios de Miguel de Efeso del siglo XII, editados como parte de los Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca. A pesar de que muchas propuestas revistan originalidad por sus meritorios análisis y exposición, no pueden prescindir y por lo tanto se sirven de la interpretación que hizo Miguel de ciertos pasajes. Otras interpretaciones que realizó aquél del De Motu, sin embargo, no han prosperado. Mi trabajo se propone analizar la deuda a Miguel de dos momentos, a mi parecer, importantes del prólogo del De Motu, que han dirigido los estudios recientes acerca de la importancia del tratado para el estudio de la filosofía natural de Aristóteles y el rol de la analogía en su método. Por un lado, el reconocimiento (104.6-25) de la referencia en 698a7-14 a la Física, que conlleva la determinación del objeto y del método del tratado completo, e implica, para la mayoría, por no animarme a decir todos, un distanciamiento del principio de prohibición de la metábasis. Por el otro, la transmisión del diagrama (105.3-11) correspondiente al texto de 698a22-4, del que algunos sostienen que ciertos modelos "mecanicistas" son adelantados ya en el prólogo, debido a esta repentina explicación matemática del movimiento, mientras que otros señalan la conexión con otros tratados por la descripción del movimiento mediante la figura del círculo. A través de estos dos casos pretendo evidenciar entonces la medida en que Miguel influyó y sigue influyendo la consideración reciente de este tratado de Aristóteles
