“Ai, Mouraria!” Music, Tourism, and Urban Renewal in a Historic Lisbon Neighbourhood

This article explores the intersection between music and two distinct but interrelated urban phenomena—urban regeneration and touristification—as they have transformed the physical and sensory environment of one of Lisbon’s emblematic historic neighbourhoods, the Mouraria. I focus on the role of music in the urban regeneration and marketing of this neighbourhood. In particular I examine the restitution of the sonority of fado to the Mouraria’s public and semi-public spaces, as a case study that illustrates the ambiguous role that heritage plays in urban redevelopment both as a tourist attraction and as a means to foster a local sense of community and belonging.Cet article explore l’intersection entre la musique et deux phénomènes urbains distincts mais liés entre eux — la revitalisation urbaine et la mise en tourisme — qui ont transformé l’environnement physique et sensoriel de l’un des quartiers historiques emblématiques de Lisbonne, la Mouraria. Je me concentre sur le rôle de la musique dans la revitalisation urbaine et dans la mise en marché de ce quartier. J’examine en particulier la restitution de la sonorité du fado dans les espaces publics et semi publics de la Mouraria, en tant qu’étude de cas illustrant le rôle ambigu que joue le patrimoine dans le redéveloppement urbain, à la fois en tant qu’attraction touristique et comme moyen de nourrir un sentiment local de communauté et d’appartenance

Tick pathogenicity, thermal tolerance and virus infection in Tolypocladium cylindrosporum

10 páginas, 5 tablas, 5 figurasTolypocladium cylindrosporum is a fungus which has been isolated from soil, from asymptomatic plants as an endophyte, and has been shown to be pathogenic to several species of arthropods. The objective of the present work was to study a collection of T. cylindrosporum strains in order to evaluate the characteristics of this fungus as a bioacaricide. The pathogenicity of five different strains of T. cylindrosporum was tested against two tick species, Ornithodoros erraticus and Ornithodoros moubata. Both tick species were susceptible to all the fungal strains. Mortality was greater for O. erraticus, and differed among the five developmental stages of the ticks tested, and among the fungal treatments. Mean mortality rates were close to 60% for O. erraticus, similar to those reported for other entomopathogenic fungi used for this purpose. The responses of eleven different strains of the fungus to 22ºC and 30ºC were also studied. Significant differences in temperature tolerance occurred among the strains, and growth inhibition was observed at 30ºC. Several mycoviruses were found infecting five of the eleven strains. However, no clear relationship was found between the presence of viruses and fungal growth or pathogenicity.This work was financed with research grants AGL2008-01159AGR, awarded by the Spanish Government,and CSI07A08, awarded by the Regional Government of Castilla y León (Spain).Peer reviewe

Culturas expressivas e processos de requalificação urbana

UID/EAT/00472/2013 SFRH/BDP/70411/2010Esta comunicação explora o impacto do processo de requalificação urbana da Mouraria na cultura material, nos universos sociais e nos espaços praticados da vida quotidiana do bairro. Propõe um olhar critico sobre os seus pontos cegos; sobre os rastos e os restos que ficaram de fora deste processo de transformação da malha urbana do bairro, mas que resistem a desaparecer; sobre os pontos de sutura e as feridas que supuram nessa linha que separa a memória e o esquecimento. Através de diversos materiais etnográficos obtidos durante um prolongado trabalho de terreno no bairro, esta comunicação visa reflectir de modo mais geral sobre as dinâmicas atuais de transformação urbana dos bairros históricos de Lisboa e o papel da cultura nestes processos.publishersversionpublishe

cultura expresiva y renovación urbana en un barrio histórico del centro de Lisboa

A partir de trabalho de campo etnográfico no bairro lisboeta da Mouraria, analiso a importância da música como ferramenta para a renovação e promoção deste território “maldito” do centro de Lisboa. Em concreto, centro-me na restituição do fado, a canção nacional portuguesa, aos espaços públicos e semi-públicos do bairro e de que forma este género musical foi instrumentalizado como nova marca identitária do território.publishersversionpublishe

Diseño de un proceso integrado para la producción de alcohol furfurílico a partir de residuos lignocelulósicos

Castellano En este documento se plantea el uso del 2-Metilfurano (2-MF) como disolvente en la hidrogenación de Furfural (FUR) a Alcohol Furfurílico (FOL), a fin de dar respuesta a la cada vez mayor demanda de productos cuya materia prima son recursos fósiles, siendo estos últimos no renovables. Por tanto, se realizan experimentos para hallar la temperatura óptima, el catalizador óptimo, y se comprueba la reproducibilidad de los experimentos con la viabilidad tecno-económica en mente. De esta forma, se logra un proceso que facilitará las etapas de separación del FUR y purificación del FOL.English In this document the use of 2-Methylfuran (2-MF) as a solvent for the hydrogenation of Furfural (FUR) to Furfuryl Alcohol (FOL) is presented, in order to engage the increasing demand of products whose raw materials are fossil products, being the latest non-renewable. Therefore, experiments are carried on in order to find the optimum temperature, optimum catalyst and to check the reproducibility of the experiments keeping in mind the techno-economic feasibility. This way, a process that will help the FUR separation stage and the FOL purification stage is achieved.Euskara Dokumentu honetan 2-Metilfuranen (2-MF) erabilera disolbatzaile bezala proposatzen da, Furfuralaren (FUR) hidrogenazioa Furfuril alkohola lortzeko aurkezten da, lehengaiak baliabide fosilak dituzten produktuen eskaera gero eta handiagoa, aurre egiteko, azken hau berriztagarria ez izanda.

De barrio maldito a destino cool. Música y rehabilitación urbana en un barrio lisboeta

Famous for its association with the stigmas of poverty, crime, immigration, drug-trafficking and prostitution with posters, the Mouraria district, located in the center of the Portuguese capital, between the years 2011 and 2014 was the subject of an ambitious urban revitalization project promoted by the city hall of Lisbon. In the image and likeness of other processes of this type, intervention in the Mouraria sought to “open” the neighborhood to the city and create conditions to attract private investment, new habitants and, above all, visitors and tourists. The creation of a new positive urban image of the neighborhood became central to the success of the project and, in this sense, the music has played a key role. This article discusses how the different actors involved in this process resort to musical connections present and past of the neighborhood to transform the sound of public space urban both at the level of the representation of his own materiality.(Complete article in spanish language).Célebre por su asociación a los estigmas de la pobreza, la delincuencia, la inmigración, el tráfico de drogas y la prostitución callejera, el barrio de la Mouraria, situado en el centro de la capital portuguesa, entre los años 2011 y 2014 fue objeto de un ambicioso proyecto de revitalización urbana promovido por el Ayuntamiento de Lisboa.
