    As Câmeras e o Turismo em Kolkata: Representações em Photovoice EIXOS TEMÁTICOS REPRESENTACIONAIS Como descrevi no capítulo 3, o método que utilizo para análise da informação recolhida em photovoice assenta numa síntese entre a semiótica cognitiva e a análise de discurso, adaptada no sentido de criar uma semântica que permita aceder à dialógica das associações estabelecidas entre as imagens visuais e textuais produzidas pelos mesmos sujeitos. A partir do tratamento da totalidade das séries narrativas obtidas foram identificadas persistências de características pictóricas e de enunciados, que conduziram à definição de dois grandes eixos temáticos dominantes na representação desta cidade e dos seus habitantes: Terceiro Mundo e Oriente. O seu tratamento individualizado é articulado nesta secção. 6. Representações de Terceiro Mundo “O Terceiro Mundo é pobre e a pobreza é causada pela falta de desenvolvimento económico” 6.1 Representações de Terceiro Mundo e Pobreza: Metanarrativas155 e Conceitos Mediadores As formações discursivas utilizadas pelos turistas internacionais para descrever Kolkata evidenciam uma aproximação a formações enunciativas vigentes, que remetem para um primeiro eixo temático: as metanarrativas produzidas sobre o Terceiro Mundo nas sociedades ocidentais. 155 Termo usado no sentido filosófico de grande narrativa; uma narrativa de nível superior (meta – do termo grego que significa “para além de”), globalizante, capaz de explicar todo o conhecimento existente ou capaz de representar uma verdade absoluta. O uso que faço do termo ao longo desta dissertação é o de “discurso de carácter normativo para representação de um objecto”, enquadrado pela posição crítica de Jean-François Lyotard (1989 [1979]), de desconstrução do mito cartesiano (Discurso do Método) sobre o conhecimento.

  • Representações Dos Turistas Internacionais Entre Residentes De Kolkata, Índia
    Número 15 (1) Any 2010 www.antropologia.cat Ocidente e Ocidentais: representações dos turistas internacionais entre residentes de Kolkata, Índia Sandra C. S. Marques Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia Instituto Universitário de Lisboa Resumo No encontro do turismo internacional em Kolkata (capital do estado de West Bengal, Índia), a tendência para a naturalização/essencialização de significados ideológicos sobre a diferença do Outro ocorre quer para turistas quer para anfitriões. Para os últimos, aparentemente desinteressados no estabelecimento de dicotomias para além da desigualdade económica e poder de consumo que é naturalizada como atributo genérico do Ocidente-Primeiro Mundo, a representação estereotipada do visitante internacional é reduzida a uma imagem vaga de estrangeiro “ocidental” ou “ocidentalizado”: rico, materialista, moderno e falante de inglês. Nesta intervenção proponho analisar os quadros referenciais utilizados na construção desta imagem e a sua articulação com narrativas pré-existentes difundidas por mediadores de cultura populares. Palavras-chave: turismo internacional, estereótipos, ocidente, ocidentais, Índia, Kolkata Na investigação antropológica sobre o fenómeno do encontro do turismo internacional, são os turistas e designadamente o turista “ocidental” quem ocupa a posição central de objecto de análise. Este facto deve-se não só ao marcado eurocentrismo que ainda persiste na produção de conhecimento nesta área (confinada na sua maioria a produções provenientes da América do Norte, Sul do Pacífico e Noroeste Europeu1), mas porque o 1 Ao nível de revistas especializadas, destacam-se (claramente, pelo uso da língua inglesa, o que permite a sua grande difusão e número de leitores): Annals of Tourism Research, Tourism, Culture & Communication e Journal of Travel Research (América do Norte); The Tourist Review, International QUADERNS-E, 15(1), 90-119 ISSN 1696-8298 © QUADERNS-E DE L'ICA Sandra C.S.

  • Voyage À La Rencontre De La Misère Et Pouvoir D'attraction De L'espace De L'autre
    Voyage à la rencontre de la misère et pouvoir d'attraction de l'espace de l'Autre. Calcutta dans l'imaginaire occidental contemporain – étude de cas: Le chant de Kali et La Cité de la joie Thèse Debasis Mukhopadhyay Doctorat en études littéraires Philosophiae doctor (Ph.D.) Québec, Canada © Debasis Mukhopadhyay, 2014 Résumé Cette thèse se trouve au croisement de deux thématiques assez larges de l‟épistémologie sociale : voyage et spatialité. Mais le champ de recherche se concentre sur la quête de la subjectivité occidentale, et sur la perception de l‟espace autre au travers notamment du voyage dans le Tiers-Monde. En premier lieu, nous essayons de comprendre les raisons et les facteurs qui poussent les Occidentaux à entreprendre le voyage à la rencontre de la misère et de l‟horreur du Tiers Monde. Ensuite, notre travail cherche à analyser comment la perception et l‟appropriation de cette spatialité, en particulier celle de Calcutta, jadis la « seconde ville de l'Empire » britannique, se caractérisent au niveau de l‟imaginaire occidental. La thèse est divisée en deux parties à la fois indépendantes et interreliées. Constituée de deux chapitres, la première tente de fournir un cadre explicatif conceptuel aux questions touchant à la problématique du voyage et de la spatialité. Le premier chapitre examine le phénomène des nouveaux tourismes qui se déploient à partir de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle dans les pays du Tiers Monde atteints par la pauvreté extrême, l‟inanition, la guerre, etc. Le pouvoir d'attraction de la spatialité postcoloniale qui se reflète dans ce phénomène touristique nous permet d'explorer, dans le chapitre suivant, la portée de la construction sociale et symbolique de l‟espace au niveau de l‟imaginaire social.
