Turismo e Sustentabilidade

A alardeada convicção de que o turismo pode dar um impulso extraordinário à economia de um lugar mostra-se com frequência uma ilusão: prevalecem o abandono de ocupações tradicionais e a migração para as cidades. Assim como as monoculturas exploraram e continuam explorando territórios e gentes, a centralidade dada ao turismo como fator de desenvolvimento regional suga recursos públicos e concentra benefícios, geralmente com destaque para agentes de outros locais

Analyse collective du travail des inspecteurs des impôts au Brésil dans l’État de Rio de Janeiro

L’article présente les résultats d’une enquête menée auprès d’inspecteurs des impôts de la Receita Federal (l’administration fiscale) du Brésil dans l’État de Rio de Janeiro. Il s’appuie sur les contributions de Dejours (1999) et de Gaulejac (2005b) sur l’alignement de la gestion publique sur le management privé en soulignant l’insatisfaction et la souffrance de ces inspecteurs liées à des changements mis en place par la haute administration du service dans son projet « Moderniser le Brésil ».The article presents the results of a study of tax inspectors from Brazil’s Receita Federal (tax administration). It draws on contributions made by Dejours (1980) and Gaulejac (2005b) on the alignment of public administration and management. It highlights the inspectors’ dissatisfaction and suffering in relation to the changes implemented by the department’s senior management as part of the “Modernizing Brazil” project

Elaboração de sistema de monitoramento e avaliação interna para ações do Instituto Lucas Amoroso, em Guaratinguetá (SP)

This work presents partial results of a project aimed at developing a monitoring and evaluation system for Instituto Lucas Amoroso (ILA), an nonprofit organization located in Guaratinguetá (SP). ILA's mission is to improve the quality of life of people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities and of their families. The purpose of the monitoring and evaluation system being developed is to help ILA's team to check the evolution of their actions and to clearly demonstrate to other stakeholders (partner institutions, funders etc) their achievements. The objective is that UNESP professors and undergraduate students and ILA team members collaboratively develop the system. The project started in March 2015. Its first result has been a set of indicators that will support monitoring and evaluation processes. The proposed set of indicators still needs to be validated. Next steps will be the establishment of the evaluation baseline and the preparation of a document to present and explain the monitoring and evaluation system to new users.Este trabalho apresenta os resultados parciais de projeto voltado para desenvolver um sistema de monitoramento e avaliação para o Instituto Lucas Amoroso (ILA), organização não governamental de Guaratinguetá (SP), dedicada a melhorar a qualidade de vida de pessoas com deficiência física e/ou intelectual e de seus familiares. O propósito do sistema em elaboração é o de facilitar o acompanhamento da evolução das ações realizadas, pela própria equipe do ILA, assim como a demonstração de seus resultados, para financiadores e outros grupos de envolvidos. O objetivo é desenvolver esse sistema de forma colaborativa, por professores e graduandos da UNESP e integrantes da equipe do ILA. O projeto começou em março de 2015 e o principal resultado obtido até aqui foi a elaboração de um sistema de indicadores para fundamentar os processos de monitoramento e avaliação, o qual se encontra em processo de validação. Estabelecida a versão final do conjunto de indicadores que embasará o sistema interno de avaliação, os passos seguintes serão estabelecer a linha de base de avaliação e preparar o documento de apresentação do sistema para novos usuários

(Re)thinking (Re)connection: young people, ‘natures’ and the water-energy-food nexus in São Paulo State, Brazil

This paper critically analyses pervasive contemporary discourses that call for children and young people to be ‘reconnected’ with nature and natural resources. Simultaneously, it reflects upon emerging forms of nexus-thinking and policy that seek to identify and govern connections between diverse sectors, and especially water, energy and food. Both of these fields of scholarship are concerned with connections, of different kinds, and at different spatial scales. Based on a large-scale, mixed-method research project in São Paulo State, Brazil, this paper explores how these rather different literatures could be combined in order to (re)think notions of (re)connection that operate across different spatial, political and material registers. Through research with Brazilian professionals and young people about their experiences of, and learning about, the water-energy-food nexus, the paper makes several substantive contributions to scholarship on childhood, youth, environmental education and nexus-thinking. Centrally, it is argued that, rather than dispense with them, there are manifold possibilities for expanding and complicating notions of (re)connection, which rely on a more nuanced analysis of the logistical, technical, social and political contexts in which nexuses are constituted. Thus, our work flips dominant forms of nexus-thinking by privileging a ‘bottom-up’ analysis of (especially) young people’s everyday, embodied engagements with water, food and energy. Our resultant findings indicated that young people are ‘connected’ with natures and with the water-energy-food nexus, in both fairly conventional ways and in ways that significantly extend beyond contemporary discourses about childhoods-natures (and particularly in articulating the importance of care and community). Consequently, the nexus approach that is advocated in this paper could enable more nuanced, politically-aware conceptualisations of (re)connection, both within and beyond scholarship on childhoods-natures and nexus-thinking

<i>Água negra</i> (black water) and overwhelming details:For <i>more-than</i>-nexus approaches to global water–energy–food challenges

This paper advances multidisciplinary research, policy, education and activisms which cohere around the concept of the ‘water–energy–food (W–E–F) nexus’ via an evidence-led critique of normative forms of nexus-thinking which draws upon research with 3705 diverse young people's (aged 10–24 years) W–E–F experiences in SE Brazil. We consider how the neat, cool, ostensibly authoritative buzzword style of W–E–F nexus-thinking is radically unsettled – and sometimes conceptually-critically overwhelmed – via encounters with social scientific data in practice. In particular, the paper presents two interlinked analyses of data relating to young people's everyday engagements with water resources. First, we present a quantitative analysis of young people's everyday participation with/in water resources, highlighting diversities and inequities in relation to age, gender, ethnicity and social class, among other modes of social–cultural heterogeneity and intersectionality. Second, we present a qualitative narration of young people's water-related anxieties, evidencing their intimate everyday interrelations with watery materialities and insecurities – ‘black water’, ‘muddy water’, ‘shit water’ and all. In so doing, we advance an argument for what we term more-than-nexus-thinking: i.e., forms of research, theory and practice which value the apparent conceptual-ethical clarity and interoperability of nexus-thinking, whilst actively thinking-with complexities and deeply-affecting lived experiences of W–E–F in everyday spaces
