Espaço vivido e espaço mental: Dalton Trevisan e a dicotomia social do urbanismo curitibano by Nelson H. Vieira

“…By contrasting the many praises that Curitiba has received as a “green city” with tragic-comic and ominous scenarios played out in Trevisan’s narratives, this study points to the socio-historic vestiges of its past as a colonial city and how that social experience still marks local behavior. Besides illustrating how Trevisan’s short stories tend toward the universal, due to their highly conscious dialog with the reader and in spite of its regional focus, we underscore how the contradiction between the sardonic and the affective uncovers the sentimental yet disturbing side of this Human Comedy. …”

The Political Economy of Tourism in Brazil (2003-2016): a “Positive” yet still Neoliberal Agenda? by Thiago Duarte Pimentel, Mariana Pereira Chaves Pimentel, Marcela Costa Bifano de Oliveira, Dominic Lapointe

“…In this conceptual paper, we develop a comprehensive analytical framework to examine the political economy of tourism (PET), aiming to integrate and go beyond the partial analyses conducted so far. To illustrate our model, we used secondary data from the period of the Workers’ Party governments in Brazil (Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, 2003–2010, and Dilma Rousseff, 2011–2016), as previous studies indicate that this period was marked by a notable increase and qualitative shift in the tourism sector in Brazilian history. …”

Gestion des sols et des substrats pour la nature et l’agriculture urbaines à Strasbourg : vers un renouvellement des représentations et des pratiques des circulations de matière ?... by Adrien Baysse-Lainé, Laure Cormier, Kevin Gaulier

“…Soil inputs from outside the sites in development are part of a linear economy, while the production of soil amendments (primarily compost) from urban waste illustrates the trend towards a circular economy. As a result, the in situ management of inherited soils remains limited to community gardens and a joint development zone (in French zone d’aménagement concerté or ZAC) due to economic reasons and emerging political constraints. …”
