Resumo: | Heritage processes and the consequent tourism development of territories are often subject to discordant ambitions and interests, which result in intense social disputes. In this article we propose to analyze these contentions in the Côa Valley, Portugal. The valorization of the Paleolithic heritage (and tourism) in detriment to the construction of the hydroelectric dam has been the main subject of local disputes in recent decades over which is the best development path to follow. We begin from a stated emic perspective, trying to understand the tense diversity of opinions, experiences, and narratives of the natives in relation to the preservation and tourist exploitation of archaeological heritage. The empirical data that informs the analysis derives predominantly from ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Côa Valley and 15 semi-directed interviews with local inhabitants. |

Contending heritage: paleolithic engravings, tourism, and the ghosts of the Côa Valley dam (Portugal)Património de discórdia: gravuras paleolíticas, turismo e os fantasmas da barragem do Côa (Portugal)Heritage processes and the consequent tourism development of territories are often subject to discordant ambitions and interests, which result in intense social disputes.

Neste artigo propomo-nos a analisar estas dissensões no Vale do Côa, tendo em conta que, neste contexto, a valorização do património paleolítico (e do turismo) em detrimento da construção da barragem hidroelétrica tem sido nas últimas décadas o grande dínamo das disputas locais quanto aos caminhos de desenvolvimento a seguir. Para tal, partimos de uma perspetiva declaradamente emic, procurando compreender a diversidade tensional de entendimentos, experiências e narrativas dos autóctones no âmbito da preservação e da exploração turística do património arqueológico. Os elementos empíricos que sustentam a análise resultam, predominantemente, do trabalho de campo etnográfico realizado no Vale do Côa e de 15 entrevistas semidirigidas a habitantes locais.Departamento de Economia, Gestão, Engenharia Industrial e Turismo da Universidade de Aveiro2022-02-03T00:00:00Zjournal articlejournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v38i0.27376oai:proa.ua.pt:article/27376Journal of Tourism & Development; Vol 38 (2022); 69-83Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimento; vol. 38 (2022); 69-832182-14531645-9261reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/27376https://doi.org/10.34624/rtd.v38i0.27376https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/rtd/article/view/27376/19840Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Revista Turismo & Desenvolvimentohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBernardo, EdgarSacramento, Octávio2022-09-26T10:57:42Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/27376Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:06:19.674999Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Heritage processes and the consequent tourism development of territories are often subject to discordant ambitions and interests, which result in intense social disputes. In this article we propose to analyze these contentions in the Côa Valley, Portugal. The valorization of the Paleolithic heritage (and tourism) in detriment to the construction of the hydroelectric dam has been the main subject of local disputes in recent decades over which is the best development path to follow. We begin from a stated emic perspective, trying to understand the tense diversity of opinions, experiences, and narratives of the natives in relation to the preservation and tourist exploitation of archaeological heritage. The empirical data that informs the analysis derives predominantly from ethnographic fieldwork carried out in Côa Valley and 15 semi-directed interviews with local inhabitants. |
