A cultura afro-cubana como ponto de partida para a criação da obra coreográfica Patakín
Publication . Barrera Risco, Suleimy; Silva, Jâcome
Este relatório investiga o processo de criação da obra coreográfica Patakín, desenvolvida no âmbito do Mestrado em Criação Coreográfica e Práticas Profissionais da Escola Superior de Dança. A investigação parte da cultura afro-cubana como fonte de inspiração estética, simbólica e espiritual, procurando compreender de que forma elementos das danças afro-cubanas podem dialogar com a linguagem da dança contemporânea.
A criação da obra fundamenta-se na relação entre corpo, memória, espiritualidade e identidade cultural, tomando como referência os orishás, os patakins e as práticas ritualísticas da tradição yorubá presentes na cultura cubana. O trabalho articula reflexão teórica e prática artística, analisando o corpo como espaço de transmissão de saberes ancestrais e de construção coreográfica contemporânea.
O conceito de peso assume-se como elemento estruturante da investigação, funcionando como ponto de encontro entre as danças afro-cubanas e a dança contemporânea. Através das contribuições teóricas de autores como Rudolf Laban, Laurence Louppe, Merce Cunningham, Daniel Tércio e Fernando Crêspo, o relatório explora a relação entre corpo, gravidade e movimento, entendendo o peso tanto na sua dimensão física como simbólica.
Metodologicamente, o processo criativo desenvolveu-se através de práticas de improvisação, transmissão de frases coreográficas e utilização de scores, privilegiando a experiência sensorial, a escuta corporal e a criação coletiva. Um dos principais desafios da investigação consistiu no trabalho com bailarinos portugueses, cujos corpos transportam referências culturais distintas das danças afro-cubanas, exigindo estratégias de mediação entre diferentes corporalidades.
A obra Patakín afirma-se, assim, como um espaço de encontro entre tradição e contemporaneidade, entre ritual e criação artística, propondo uma reflexão sobre identidade, memória e pertença através da dança. O relatório demonstra como a criação coreográfica pode constituir simultaneamente um gesto artístico, um processo de investigação e uma forma de valorização da cultura afro-cubana no contexto das artes performativas contemporâneas.
Culturas visuais - 2º semestre mestrado em audiovisual e multimédia 2025-2026
Publication . Sousa, Vanda
Resumo
Este material pedagógico reúne e sistematiza os conteúdos desenvolvidos na unidade curricular de Culturas Visuais do Mestrado em Audiovisual e Multimédia da ESCS. Organizado em torno do conceito de “caminho do olhar”, propõe um percurso que parte da fenomenologia da perceção e do corpo que vê, atravessa a história e a memória das imagens, a experiência urbana, a cultura visual e a mediação tecnológica, chegando às formas contemporâneas de circulação, produção e organização algorítmica do visível. O documento articula enquadramento teórico, autores fundamentais, análise de imagens, exemplos da cultura contemporânea, questões para discussão e propostas de exercícios, procurando promover uma aprendizagem reflexiva e uma literacia visual crítica. O olhar é entendido como uma experiência corporal, cultural, histórica e tecnologicamente mediada, permitindo aos estudantes interrogar não apenas o que vemos e como vemos, mas também quem produz, condiciona e organiza aquilo que se torna visível.

Publication . Severino, Filipe Segurado; Costa, Teresa; Santos, Zelia Raposo; Machado, Ana Teresa; Nunes, Sandra
Purpose – This study examines whether tourists’ sustainability values influence their perceived value of co-creation and their intention to participate in co-creation activities. While sustainability is an increasing priority in tourism, the extent to which sustainability- conscious tourists actively engage in co-creation remains unclear. Understanding this relationship is crucial for developing tourism strategies that effectively engage tourists in co-creation while promoting sustainability-driven experiences.

Publication . Severino, Filipe Segurado; Roque, Ana Gláucia; Cristina, Margarida; Santos, Zelia Raposo; Nunes, Sandra; Costa, Teresa
Abstract
Destination image is related to comprising cognitive, emotional, and conative components and includes an individual's thoughts, ideas, and perceptions of a place. Images consistently coincide with the internalisation of distinct perspectives, demonstrating that people have different perceptions of the destiny. Influences include media, authority figures, music, and movies. Although the experience may not match their initial expectations, these effects form their preconceived beliefs and expectations of a trip. Accordingly, it is important to explore the trustfulness of the positioning of tourist destinations to ascertain its alignment with the expectations of tourists. Given that, Lisbon has been regarded as one of the foremost European cities in recent years, owing to its high level of accessibility and its multifaceted sensory attributes, it was deemed pertinent to investigate the perceptions of the visitors towards the city. The present study used a mixed methods approach, incorporating a multimedia component that showcases various locations in the Lisbon region with open-ended questionnaires to gather the perspectives of the tourists and a closed-ended questionnaire that inquiries about the primary factors that attract visitors to Lisbon. This analysis employed graphical representations, including word clouds and graphics to explore the identified impressions. The research revealed a robust association between cultural, historical, and aesthetic variables and the choice of travel destination. Certain visual representations highlight the imperative of pursuing sustainable and responsible development to mitigate the potential for enduring degradation. This holds significance as certain images are linked to instances of environmental and social irresponsibility. The study also revealed that History and Heritage emerged as the most significant factors that attract individuals, followed by Cultural Attractions, Weather and Climate, Gastronomy, and Panoramic Views and Landscapes. A notable perception exists regarding the insufficiency of sustainability and eco-friendly practices, underscoring the necessity for targeted sustainability endeavours to promote responsible and sustainable development of tourism destinations. Indeed, additional research on the contrast of perception and reality at the location is needed to evaluate the picture provided to visitors. However, understanding tourist-relevant areas like Lisbon is a good foundation for advertising them, allowing various stakeholders to make authentic and valuable marketing decisions.
