Resumo: | From a critical phenomenology perspective, it is possible to interpret tourism as an open arena where different players interact, thus illustrating the rationale behind their epistemic positioning. Tourism, as an economic sector, is both a product and a producer of what is happening at global level. This to-and-from mutual determinations may be exemplified by visual aids that help to map the conceptual models that shape scientific debate. The research objective of the present study is to critically explore the theoretical potential of the global-South paradigm in order to bring a better understanding of tourism, illuminating the creative tensions that are shaping this dynamic, complex, multifactorial and structuring sector. The global-South paradigm involves degrowth theories and other non-orthodox economic perspectives that determine how cities, communities and territories manage their symbolic and intangible heritage that, in turn, determine decision-making, political debate and, ultimately, the living conditions of their population. The contribution of the present research is to draw together a plethora of academic schools of thought that may help to critically identify the active forces in the tourism sector. The goal is not to offer detailed scientific evidence of the social, economic and political strains in tourism but to indicate and to highlight the potential that is already there to be explored in open reflection and in theoretical incursions, contributing to expand the horizons of thought and action of contemporary societies. |

Critical reflections on tourism.

O turismo, como setor económico, é produto e é produtor do que acontece ao nível global e societal. Estas mútuas determinações podem ser exemplificadas por recursos visuais que ajudam a mapear os modelos conceptuais que moldam o debate científico. O objetivo de investigação do presente estudo é explorar criticamente o potencial teórico do paradigma do Sul global para trazer uma melhor compreensão do turismo, iluminando as tensões criativas que moldam este setor dinâmico, complexo, estruturante e multifatorial. O paradigma do Sul global envolve teorias de decrescimento e outras perspetivas económicas não ortodoxas que determinam como as cidades, comunidades e territórios gerem o seu património simbólico e imaterial que, por sua vez, determina a tomada de decisões, o debate político e, em última instância, as condições de vida das suas populações. O contributo do presente estudo é reunir uma diversidade de escolas de pensamento que podem ajudar a identificar criticamente as forças ativas no setor de turismo. O objetivo não é oferecer evidências científicas detalhadas das tensões sociais, económicas e políticas do turismo, mas indicar e destacar o potencial científico que já existe para ser explorado na reflexão aberta e nas incursões teóricas, contribuindo para expandir os horizontes do pensamento e ação das sociedades contemporâneas.DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte2023-04-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/cct/article/view/28019eng2182-3030Lacerda-Nobre, ÂngelaGameiro, AmandineDuarte, RogérioJacquinet, MarcPérez, Rafaelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-04-13T19:00:13Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/28019Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:49:15.001767Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

From a critical phenomenology perspective, it is possible to interpret tourism as an open arena where different players interact, thus illustrating the rationale behind their epistemic positioning. Tourism, as an economic sector, is both a product and a producer of what is happening at global level. This to-and-from mutual determinations may be exemplified by visual aids that help to map the conceptual models that shape scientific debate. The research objective of the present study is to critically explore the theoretical potential of the global-South paradigm in order to bring a better understanding of tourism, illuminating the creative tensions that are shaping this dynamic, complex, multifactorial and structuring sector. The global-South paradigm involves degrowth theories and other non-orthodox economic perspectives that determine how cities, communities and territories manage their symbolic and intangible heritage that, in turn, determine decision-making, political debate and, ultimately, the living conditions of their population. The contribution of the present research is to draw together a plethora of academic schools of thought that may help to critically identify the active forces in the tourism sector.
