A incorporação sociocultural como Fator Intensificador da Experiência Turística – o caso do Mercado Medieval de Óbidos

A Gestão da Experiência Turística Global dos Destinos tem vindo a assumir-­se nas Ciências do Turismo como uma base incontornável no âmbito da atratividade e consequentemente da própria Imagem Turística. O diagnóstico e compreensão dos mecanismos culturais, sociais, económicos e espaciais que influenciam o processo de intensificação da Experiência Turística é uma matéria em aberto, fazendo jus ao imenso campo de estudo que define a intangibilidade como elemento diferenciador da oferta turística de outros tipos de produtos. Mercê do seu percurso nos últimos anos, o Mercado Medieval de Óbidos (MMO) surgiu-­nos como um estudo de caso, suscetível de evidenciar num curto espaço temporal e numa área territorial totalmente definida, Fatores Intensificadores da Experiência Turística, cuja estratificação estará ainda numa fase embrionária. Com recurso a uma metodologia quantitativa e qualitativa, o presente estudo evidenciou a Incorporação sociocultural por parte do Turista ou Visitante como uma ferramenta de apropriação e integração na realidade local, perspetivando-­a como Fator Intensificador da Experiência Turística no MMO.

El Cid : buen vecino burgalés.

Se realiza un proyecto de innovación educativa sobre El Cid para el alumnado de educación infantil y primaria del colegio de Santibáñez de Zarzaguda. En el año 2007 se conmemora el octavo centenario de la primera edición del 'Cantar del Mio Cid' por ello, aprovechando ese acontecimiento histórico se desarrollan a lo largo de dicho curso académico diferentes actividades paralelas al desarrollo del currículo escolar en las diferentes áreas: Lenguaje, Conocimiento del Medio, Matemáticas, Plástica, Educación Musical, Educación Física y Lengua Extranjera. En el proyecto se desarrollan actividades que potencian el valor de la lengua y del hábito lector, al igual que el conocimiento natural, histórico, artístico y cultural de Castilla y León apoyando en todo momento el desarrollo curricular del centro. Se utilizan como base y apoyo las Nuevas Tecnologías de Información y la Comunicación para el proceso de aprendizaje. Se desarrollan unidades didácticas sobre la temática del Cid y de la Edad Media para los diferentes cursos, igualmente se elabora una revista escolar sobre El Cid en la que se desarrollan todas las actividades y visitas realizadas. De forma paralela se realiza un mercado medieval y un encuentro musical en el que participa toda la comunidad educativa, familias y alumnado.

Revivimos el medievo en nuestro colegio.

Con este trabajo se pretende estudiar, desde distintos aspectos, el periodo histórico de la Edad Media en Europa y las manifestaciones socio-culturales de esta época en el resto del mundo. Es un proyecto interdisciplinar, centrado en las áreas de Lengua, Conocimiento del Medio, Educación Artística y Educación Física. Los objetivos son, entre otros, potenciar el gusto por la lectura; aplicar técnicas de investigación para elaborar trabajos; y desarrollar habilidades artísticas. Al inicio de cada trimestre se programan y se buscan los recursos necesarios para llevar a cabo las actividades. En el primer trimestre, se trabaja la tradición oral, los juglares y los cuentistas. Para ello, se leen, memorizan y dramatizan romances e historias seleccionadas. El segundo trimestre, a través de talleres, es un acercamiento al mundo medieval y a sus costumbres. Se realiza el día de carnaval y el mercado medieval, en el que niños y padres pasean por el colegio convertido ese día en un lugar donde escuchar romances, ver una representación teatral o disfrutar en los variados puestos de joyas, esencias, máscaras o pañuelos. El tercer trimestre se dedica, sobre todo, a la lectura. Se celebra el día del libro, se escenifican historias, se monta un rastrillo de libros y se presenta una exposición sobre la Edad Media con murales sobre la vida cotidiana, la vida en un monasterio, los mapas de la época o el arte y la música.

La normativa hispano medieval y su aplicación en Indias : condición femenina dentro del marco penal y procesal

Resumen: El intercambio de culturas con ocasión de la residencia de los nuevos pobladores en tierras americanas, trajo como consecuencia la implantación de diferentes normativas provenientes de la Hispania medieval, pero también un grave desajuste en la aplicación de dichas costumbres para las mujeres, según fuera su estatus social. En ocasiones, indígenas, mestizas y españolas lograron alcanzar posturas flexibles –de parte de las autoridades canónicas y civiles– a la hora de ser multadas o castigadas por la ley; otras veces, su peso caía con todo el rigor sin atender a ningún tipo de diferenciación entre las mujeres.

Consolidação de processos chave do sistema de gestão da qualidade (da empresa Dário Albano Zina Pimpão Lda – Ginja de Óbidos Oppidum)

A Dário Albano Zina Pimpão Lda é uma pequena empresa familiar constituída em 1985 que fabrica artesanalmente produtos genuínos, de qualidade premium. A gerência da empresa é partilhada por Dário Pimpão (Pai) e Marta Pimpão (Filha), em que Dário Pimpão assume a responsabilidade pela área produtiva, sendo o líder carismático da organização, e Marta Pimpão movimenta-se nas restantes áreas (comercial, financeira, marketing). Produz licor de ginja de Óbidos Oppidum (com e sem elas – ou seja, com ou sem fruto) de forma artesanal e 100% natural, licor de ginja com chocolate e bombons com licor de ginja. O seu know-how faz com que estes produtos sejam de elevada qualidade, considerado um licor gourmet e de categoria premium. O mercado consumidor dos produtos da DAZP é abrangente a homens e mulheres, embora se observe uma maior adesão por parte das mulheres, talvez pelo facto de o licor ser doce e bastante frutado. O facto do licor de ginja Oppidum ser considerado um produto premium faz com que classes médias altas/altas tenham maior apetência para o adquirir, assim como idades entre 30 – 70 anos. Depois de anos consecutivos com taxas de crescimento positivas e crescentes, a Oppidum enfrenta agora a necessidade de uma maior consolidação do mercado interno, em Portugal. Com as atuais condições económicas e financeiras cada vez mais desfavoráveis para todos os agentes económicos portugueses no geral, e também para os consumidores, a Oppidum defronta-se com o desafio de desenvolver novas estratégias que façam face às novas tendências de mercado advindas destas alterações. Para além disso, a procura por parte de consumidores estrangeiros remete para a ideia de que a Oppidum tem potencial e atingiu uma posição em que a sua internacionalização e exportação poderá ser uma mais-valia para a empresa e o próximo passo para o seu desenvolvimento e crescimento. Este projeto trata precisamente da abordagem destas duas novas vertentes da marca Oppidum: consolidação do mercado interno e processo de internacionalização, começando por apresentar uma análise da situação atual da empresa, de modo a que posteriormente se possa definir como quer estar no futuro e enumerar as ferramentas precisas para alcançar as suas metas e objetivos. Pretende-se também definir os próximos passos, quer a nível operacional, financeiro ou estratégico, através de um cronograma de forma a garantir o sucesso da realização deste projeto com a entrada do Licor de Ginja Oppidum no mercado EUA durante o ano 2016. Para concluir, serão realizadas também decisões económicas e financeiras inerentes à expansão internacional e consolidação do mercado interno, indicando-se os pressupostos utilizados para a previsão de receitas nacionais e internacionais assim como também todos os custos associados ao projeto, fundamentando as estimativas de vendas.

¿Fue la crisis política del Occidente musulmán del siglo XIII debida a un cambio climático? Una aproximación histórica al fin del Periodo Cálido Medieval

Durante el siglo XIII se produjo una sucesión de revueltas que supuso la desaparición del Imperio almohade y su sustitución por poderes regionales en al-Andalus, el Magreb y el Magreb al-Aqsà. La historiografía ha presentado el surgimiento y pugna entre estos poderes como un fenómeno social, político e, incluso, cultural y religioso, con el que se ha podido explicar su aniquilación o marginalización. Este trabajo pretende contextualizar los hechos desde una perspectiva medioambiental, de forma que la desintegración del califato almohade, el surgimiento de aquellos poderes y la progresión de los reinos cristianos en la península ibérica puedan entenderse desde una visión global de cambio climático y una posible crisis agrícola.

La transformación del tejido urbano en el mercado de Andújar

The commercial activity is and has been fundamental for the development of the society and our cities. We cannot forget that the medieval city was a market in itself. These urban spaces, as well as the new spaces generated after the different sales of Church lands, have been transforming continuously both from the point of view of urban development and social. In these spaces took place leisure activities as well as the exchanges and sales of products. Later, markets were transformed into covered spaces as we know today. Nowadays they are reflection objects. This abstract tries to make known the interesting and avant-garde Andujar Market, Pedro Rivas Ruiz`s architect work. It was built in 1949 and was inspired in Eduardo Torroja`s work with reinforced concrete. Its urban context`s relation explain this studio since the market was built on the place of the convent of San Francisco. This research is part of the result of the development of my thesis.

Medieval knights amid the gum-trees : the experience of European heritage tourism in south-east Queensland, Australia

This paper is interested in the way in which the heritage of another place, time, and culture is repurposed for popular consumption in an experience economy, as well as the way in which the visitors experience their own past and the past of others. We trace the processes of engagement, education and nostalgia that occur when the European heritage is presented in a postcolonial context and an Australian environment. The information presented includes the results of qualitative and quantitative research conducted at the Abbey Museum over the December-Jan. period of 2012-13.

Between Herbals et alia: Intertextuality in Medieval English Herbals

This study reports a corpus-based study of medieval English herbals, which are texts conveying information on medicinal plants. Herbals belong to the medieval medical register. The study charts intertextual parallels within the medieval genre, and between herbals and other contemporary medical texts. It seeks to answer questions where and how herbal texts are linked to each other, and to other medical writing. The theoretical framework of the study draws on intertextuality and genre studies, manuscript studies, corpus linguistics, and multi-dimensional text analysis. The method combines qualitative and quantitative analyses of textual material from three historical special-language corpora of Middle and Early Modern English, one of which was compiled for the purposes of this study. The text material contains over 800,000 words of medical texts. The time span of the material is from c. 1330 to 1550. Text material is retrieved from the corpora by using plant name lists as search criteria. The raw data is filtered through qualitative analysis which produces input for the quantitative analysis, multi-dimensional scaling (MDS). In MDS, the textual space that parallel text passages form is observed, and the observations are explained by a qualitative analysis. This study concentrates on evidence of material and structural intertextuality. The analysis shows patterns of affinity between the texts of the herbal genre, and between herbals and other texts in the medical register. Herbals are most closely linked with recipe collections and regimens of health: they comprise over 95 per cent of the intertextual links between herbals and other medical writing. Links to surgical texts, or to specialised medical texts are very few. This can be explained by the history of the herbal genre: as herbals carry information on medical ingredients, herbs, they are relevant for genres that are related to pharmacological therapy. Conversely, herbals draw material from recipe collections in order to illustrate the medicinal properties of the herbs they describe. The study points out the close relationship between medical recipes and recipe-like passages in herbals (recipe paraphrases). The examples of recipe paraphrases show that they may have been perceived as indirect instruction.

Conrad Summenhart's theory of individual rights and its medieval background

This study focuses on the theory of individual rights that the German theologian Conrad Summenhart (1455-1502) explicated in his massive work Opus septipartitum de contractibus pro foro conscientiae et theologico. The central question to be studied is: How does Summenhart understand the concept of an individual right and its immediate implications? The basic premiss of this study is that in Opus septipartitum Summenhart composed a comprehensive theory of individual rights as a contribution to the on-going medieval discourse on rights. With this rationale, the first part of the study concentrates on earlier discussions on rights as the background for Summenhart s theory. Special attention is paid to language in which right was defined in terms of power . In the fourteenth century writers like Hervaeus Natalis and William Ockham maintained that right signifies power by which the right-holder can to use material things licitly. It will also be shown how the attempts to describe what is meant by the term right became more specified and cultivated. Gerson followed the implications that the term power had in natural philosophy and attributed rights to animals and other creatures. To secure right as a normative concept, Gerson utilized the ancient ius suum cuique-principle of justice and introduced a definition in which right was seen as derived from justice. The latter part of this study makes effort to reconstructing Summenhart s theory of individual rights in three sections. The first section clarifies Summenhart s discussion of the right of the individual or the concept of an individual right. Summenhart specified Gerson s description of right as power, taking further use of the language of natural philosophy. In this respect, Summenhart s theory managed to bring an end to a particular continuity of thought that was centered upon a view in which right was understood to signify power to licit action. Perhaps the most significant feature of Summenhart s discussion was the way he explicated the implication of liberty that was present in Gerson s language of rights. Summenhart assimilated libertas with the self-mastery or dominion that in the economic context of discussion took the form of (a moderate) self-ownership. Summenhart discussion also introduced two apparent extensions to Gerson s terminology. First, Summenhart classified right as relation, and second, he equated right with dominion. It is distinctive of Summenhart s view that he took action as the primary determinant of right: Everyone has as much rights or dominion in regard to a thing, as much actions it is licit for him to exercise in regard to the thing. The second section elaborates Summenhart s discussion of the species dominion, which delivered an answer to the question of what kind of rights exist, and clarified thereby the implications of the concept of an individual right. The central feature in Summenhart s discussion was his conscious effort to systematize Gerson s language by combining classifications of dominion into a coherent whole. In this respect, his treatement of the natural dominion is emblematic. Summenhart constructed the concept of natural dominion by making use of the concepts of foundation (founded on a natural gift) and law (according to the natural law). In defining natural dominion as dominion founded on a natural gift, Summenhart attributed natural dominion to animals and even to heavenly bodies. In discussing man s natural dominion, Summenhart pointed out that the natural dominion is not sufficiently identified by its foundation, but requires further specification, which Summenhart finds in the idea that natural dominion is appropriate to the subject according to the natural law. This characterization lead him to treat God s dominion as natural dominion. Partly, this was due to Summenhart s specific understanding of the natural law, which made reasonableness as the primary criterion for the natural dominion at the expense of any metaphysical considerations. The third section clarifies Summenhart s discussion of the property rights defined by the positive human law. By delivering an account on juridical property rights Summenhart connected his philosophical and theological theory on rights to the juridical language of his times, and demonstrated that his own language of rights was compatible with current juridical terminology. Summenhart prepared his discussion of property rights with an account of the justification for private property, which gave private property a direct and strong natural law-based justification. Summenhart s discussion of the four property rights usus, usufructus, proprietas, and possession aimed at delivering a detailed report of the usage of these concepts in juridical discourse. His discussion was characterized by extensive use of the juridical source texts, which was more direct and verbal the more his discussion became entangled with the details of juridical doctrine. At the same time he promoted his own language on rights, especially by applying the idea of right as relation. He also showed recognizable effort towards systematizing juridical language related to property rights.
