“Ajardinando el Edén”: vidas malgastadas, o identidades desintoxicadas en Turtle Valley de Gail Anderson-Dargatz y Prodigal Summer de Barbara Kingsolver
Full text linkThis paper analyzes the inflection of a border-crossing ecological concern on the regional
cultures of settlement through Gail Anderson-Dargatz’s Turtle Valley (2007) and Barbara
Kingsolver’s Prodigal Summer (2000). Their engagement with the contingent position of the
farmers in the British Columbia Shuswap region, and the southern Appalachian Zebulon
County resituates the self. The struggle for production is substituted by a revisionist at-
titude that relocates (wo)men and nature in a sustainable coexistence that approaches the
human species and others. The ecological awareness of these novels uses a postindustrial
landscape where human bodies and lives exhibit the malaise inflicted on the environment;
they increasingly become waste(d) and toxic, and their habitat becomes a threat, also ma-
terialized in (post)natural catastrophes impelling the relocation of human communities, or
business reinvention. The human wastification of Eden is instrumental to launch a revision
that detoxifies identity thanks to a remodeled bond with nature.Este artículo analiza la inflexión de una preocupación ecológica transfronteriza entre las
culturas regionales de asentamiento a través de Turtle Valley (2007), de Gail Anderson-
Dargatz, y Prodigal Summer (2000), de Barbara Kingsolver. En ellas, su compromiso con la
posición contingente de los agricultores en la región de Shuswap, en la Columbia Británica,
y el condado de Zebulon, al sur de los Apalaches, resitúa al sujeto. El compromiso con la
producción deja paso a una actitud revisionista que posiciona a hombres, mujeres y naturaleza
en una convivencia sostenible donde se aproximan la especie humana y otras. La conciencia
ecológica de estas novelas surge de un paisaje postindustrial donde los cuerpos y las vidas
humanas exhiben el malestar infligido al medio ambiente; se transforman crecientemente
en desechos/desechados materiales y tóxicos, y su hábitat en una amenaza evidente en catás-
trofes (pos)naturales que fuerzan la reubicación de comunidades humanas, o la reinvención
empresarial. La devastación humana del Edén es fundamental para lanzar una revisión que
desintoxique la identidad, gracias a un vínculo transformado con la naturaleza
Touristic enterprises and family farming, elements for integration approach: case study in Serra da Mantiqueira, Minas Gerais
Full text linkO meio rural adquiriu status de lócus do turismo onde a produção local é um dos principais atrativos.
O objetivo deste artigo foi examinar as possibilidades e limitações de articulações entre a agricultura familiar
e a iniciativa privada na perspectiva do turismo rural integrado no município de Piranguçu. Foram realizadas
46 entrevistas com agricultores locais e empreendedores do turismo. Observou‐se uma desconexão entre estes
atores sociais. Os empreendedores privilegiavam a compra em supermercados e os agricultores a venda para
mercados externos. Contudo, ambos demonstraram interesses em formar parcerias, embora haja necessidade de
construir estratégias de diálogo para alinhar a demanda dos empreendimentos e a produção agrícola, e assegurar
o comprometimento das partes para manterem e ampliarem o vínculo. Conclui‐se que o contexto é promissor para
integrar as expectativas da agricultura familiar local e maximizar o potencial turístico do município.Rural areas have gradually become sites for tourism ventures where local products are highlighted
as one of the main attractions. The objective of this article was to examine the possibilities and limitations of
connecting family farming and private business ventures in the shape of integrated rural tourism in the munici‐
pality of Piranguçu. Forty six interviews were carried out with family farmers and tourist entrepreneurs. These
revealed a total lack of connection between these social actors. Entrepreneurs preferred to buy in supermarkets
and farmers to sell to foreign markets. However, both showed interest in forming partnerships, although there
is a need to build dialogue strategies to align the demand of enterprises and agricultural production, and ensure
the commitment of the parties to maintain and expand the link. It is concluded that the context is promising to
integrate the local family farmers’ expectations and maximise the tourist potential of the municipality

Full text linkAlternative tourism as a driver of cosmopolitanism
Full text linkEl cosmopolitismo es considerado como aquella forma de vida asociada a personas viajeras que logran
tener un acercamiento a otras sociedades. Este acercamiento produce mayor tolerancia, empatia, conciencia y
pertenencia global. Lo que permite entender a las problemáticas del mundo (ambientales, económicas, sociales)
como propias y nos obliga a reflexionar sobre la necesidad de involucrarnos directamente. Pero para lograr un
mundo cosmopolita es necesario impulsar mecanismos. En ese sentido el turismo, que implica indefectiblemente
el movimiento de personas, podría transformarse en un importante motor. Evidentemente no cualquier forma
de turismo, sino aquel que logre una relación simbiótica entre visitante y comunidad anfitriona. Por esto el
turismo alternativo debería incentivarse para convertirlo en un instrumento del cosmopolitismo. Considerando
esto, el objetivo es reflexionar sobre los beneficios de desarrollar una sociedad cosmopolita y cómo el turismo
alternativo podría contribuir con esta filosofia de vida.Cosmopolitanism is considered to be a way of life associated with travellers who are able to reach
out to other societies. This approach produces greater tolerance, empathy, awareness and global belonging.
This allows us to understand the world’s problems (environmental, economic, social) as our own and forces
us to reflect on the need to become directly involved. But in order to achieve a cosmopolitan world, it is nec‐
essary to promote mechanisms. In this sense, tourism, which inevitably involves the movement of people, is
an important driver of change. Obviously not just any form of tourism, but that which achieves a symbiotic
relationship between visitor and host community. This is why alternative tourism should be encouraged as
an instrument of cosmopolitanism. The aim then is to reflect on the benefits of developing a cosmopolitan
society and how alternative tourism could contribute to this philosophy of life
Tourism and covid‐19: the tourism consumer’s travel intention for the year 2021 and 2022
Full text linkO artigo tem como objetivo analisar os fatores que afetam a intenção de viagem do consumidor de
turismo durante a pandemia do Covid‐19 para o ano de 2021 e 2022. A pesquisa é quantitativa, com escopo
conceitual construído a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário,
elaborado com base na Teoria do Comportamento Planejado. A coleta ocorreu por meio do Google Forms, durante
o mês de janeiro de 2021. O tipo de amostragem foi não probabilística, com 174 questionários válidos. As técnicas
de análise foram: Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE) e Modelagem de Equações Estruturais (MEE). O modelo
estrutural resultante do cruzamento dos dados, apresentou‐se adequado à explicação e ajuste da amostra, visto
que foi obtido um R2 de 0,75. As hipóteses levantadas foram confirmadas, conferindo intenções positivas de
viagem para o ano de 2021 e 2022, e sinalizando comportamentos resistentes dos consumidores de turismo.The article aims to analyse the factors that affect the travel intention of the tourism consumer

scope built from research of the literature. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire based on the
Theory of Planned Behavior. The survey was organised using Google Forms in January 2021. The type of
sampling was non‐probabilistic, with 174 valid questionnaires. The analysis techniques were: Exploratory
Factor Analysis (AFE) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The structural model resulting from the
cross‐referencing of the data was shown to be adequate for the explanation and adjustment of the sample,
since an R2 of 0.75 was obtained. The hypotheses raised were confirmed, giving positive travel intentions for
the year 2021 and 2022, and signalling resistant behavior in tourists

Full text linkPrevención de lesiones del complejo articular del hombro en deportistas de voleibol
Full text linkIntroducción: El alto porcentaje de lesiones y patologías existentes, hoy en día,
en el complejo articular del hombro, es evidente, no solo por la susceptibilidad
de la articulación, sino también por un sobreuso continuado. En voleibol, debido
al gesto técnico que implica este deporte, la incidencia de este tipo de lesiones es
la tercera más alta, siendo la que más ausencia deportiva provoca. Sin embargo,
un correcto estudio de los factores de riesgo y un adecuado programa de
prevención de lesiones para esta articulación, entre otras, demuestra una
reducción de su incidencia.
Objetivos: Examinar la bibliografía existente sobre la prevención de lesiones de
hombro en deportistas de voleibol.
Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de las bases de datos
Pubmed, Scopus y WOS (Web of Science).
Resultados: Se obtuvieron 21 artículos que cumplían con los criterios de
inclusión establecidos, incluyendo 10 de ellos en la revisión para analizarlos.
Conclusión: A pesar de la escasa existencia de estudios acerca de la prevención
de lesiones de hombro durante el voleibol, se evidencia la eficacia de este tipo de
programas. Aún así, se cree necesaria la ampliación de investigaciones en este
campo.

nowadays, in the joint complex of the shoulder, is evident, not only because of
the susceptibility of the joint, but also as a result of continued overuse. In
volleyball, related to the technical gesture that this sport implies, the incidence of
this type of injury is the third highest, being the one that causes the most sports
absence. However, a correct study of the risk factors and an adequate injury
prevention program for this joint, among others, demonstrates a reduction in its
incidence.
Objectives: To review the existing literature on the prevention of shoulder
injuries in volleyball athletes.
Material and methods: A bibliographic review of the Pubmed, Scopus and
WOS (Web of Science) databases was carried out.
Results: 21 articles were obtained that met the established inclusion criteria,
including 10 of them in the review to analyze them.
Conclusion: Despite the limited existence of studies on the prevention of
shoulder injuries during volleyball, the effectiveness of this type of programs is
evident. Even so, it is suggested necessary to expand research in this field.
