"Call for papers: Science and Power Relations in Tourism Studies, Yokohama 2014"

«Dear colleagues,

Please find below and attached a call for papers at one of several sessions organized by the Research Committee on International Tourism of the International Sociological Association (ISA) at the ISA World Congress next year.

http://www.isa-sociology.org/congress2014/rc/rc.php?n=RC50  

Science and Power Relations in Tourism Studies

Session Organizers

Rami ISAAC, Breda University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands, isaac.r@nhtv.nl  

Erdinc CAKMAK, Breda University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands, cakmak.e@nhtv.nl  

Session in English

Science has been depicted most often as an isolated phenomenon (Popper, 1963; Lakatos & Musgrave, 1970) that is driven forwards by internal mechanisms. Scientific progress has been imagined as a self-corrective development steered by an internal criterion like testability or falsifiability. In the last two decades this image has become more relative through the acceptance of external developments co-determinant for scientific development (Kuhn, 1965; Cohn, 2012). Yet, science is an embedded phenomenon that is always heavily influenced by the surrounding environment. This makes us sensitive to the political, economical, socio-cultural and technological influences on scientific developments. This, certainly, goes for the tourism field of social scientific research (Tribe, 2003).

Deadline for abstract submissions: 30 September 2013, 24:00 GMT

A link for abstract submissions is now available on the ISA website:

[The] wind

"If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable."

"A crise, a troika e as alternativas urgentes"

"A Crise, a Troika e as Alternativas Urgentes

por Alexandre Abreu, Hugo Mendes, João Rodrigues, José Guilherme Gusmão, Nuno Serra, Nuno Teles, Pedro Delgado Alves, Ricardo Paes Mamede

Os resultados da aplicação do programa da Troika em Portugal nos dois últimos anos estão à vista de todos: desemprego maciço, aumento das desigualdades e da pobreza, instabilidade pessoal e social, emigração forçada, falências de empresas. Alguns insistem em ver nestes sinais os custos inevitáveis de um processo de ajustamento necessário, transitório e essencialmente correto. No entanto, é hoje claro que aquela estratégia falhou nos seus próprios termos: as metas de redução do défice orçamental foram sucessivamente adiadas e a dívida pública é hoje mais insustentável do que em 2011.

Este livro procura demostrar que o programa da Troika não resolve – antes agrava – as dificuldades que começaram a avolumar-se há duas décadas e que conduziram Portugal à situação presente. Assim, construir alternativas à estratégia da Troika é fundamental para inverter o atual círculo vicioso de degradação social, económica e democrática. Mas também para construir um modelo de desenvolvimento para o país que seja económica, social e ambientalmente sustentável.

São precisas alternativas, corajosas e urgentes, para resgatar Portugal para um futuro decente.

Comentários ao livro

«Um livro que propõe uma interpretação muito bem fundamentada das causas e das consequências do actual programa de ajustamento financeiro, desafiando a visão indigente e deturpada da Troika e do coro de comentadores que com ela alinham. Uma crítica devastadora da forma como foi concebido e como tem sido executado o programa português, propondo alternativas para o futuro».

João Ferreira do Amaral, Economista, Professor catedrático aposentado do Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão da Universidade Técnica de Lisboa

«O presente livro vem animar as controvérsias acerca do programa de ajustamento imposto a Portugal pela Troika. Enfileira no grupo dos que criticam vivamente aquele programa e dos que sustentam que, para se sair da crise, se deverá ir por caminhos radicalmente diferentes dos que têm estado a ser percorridos. Fá-lo com base numa análise de elevada qualidade técnica e com melhor fundamentação do que a maioria dos que advogam posições semelhantes».

José da Silva Lopes, Economista, ex-Governador do Banco de Portugal, ex-Ministro das Finanças e do Plano e ex-presidente do Conselho Económico e Social

«A recusa da opressão, da desvalorização económica e da destruição social faz-se com ideias e com ação coerente. E com opções claras. Este é um livro de análise profunda, pensamento original e propostas mobilizadoras. Há, pois, alternativas».

José Reis, Economista, Professor Catedrático da Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra

«Assumindo, empenhadamente, o seu contributo para a construção de programas alternativos às atuais políticas, os autores analisam, com verdade, origens, causas, responsabilidades e consequências dos problemas que estão a tolher o nosso futuro coletivo. Este exercício é primordial para que os cidadãos não fiquem prisioneiros do "falso moralismo" e da "autoculpabilização" a que vêm sendo sujeitos e situa-nos nos desafios que é preciso encarar e assumir».

Manuel Carvalho da Silva, Sociólogo, Coordenador do Observatório sobre Crises e Alternativas"
