Turismo religioso: estudo de caso em Balasar
No full textDissertação de mestradoO turismo religioso, em Portugal, tem a sua grande expressão em Fátima, sendo necessário conhecer o seu impacto em Santuários de menor dimensão. O estudo, em geral, procura conhecer o perfil dos peregrinos/visitantes que se deslocam até Santuário da Beata Alexandrina, em Balasar, Póvoa de Varzim. De forma mais específica pretende identificar as motivações dos visitantes, conhecer a sua origem, o meio de transporte utilizado, saber como é que visitante obteve conhecimento, descrever as atividades
desenvolvidas pelos visitantes durante a visita e saber se o santuário dispõe das infraestruturas adequadas para satisfazer as necessidades e desejos dos visitantes.
Adotou-se uma metodologia de investigação mista quantitativa e qualitativa, com base em questionários presenciais, aplicados entre abril e maio de 2018, no Santuário Alexandrina de Balasar, a 153 peregrinos/visitantes; realizou-se cinco entrevistas aos principais stakeholders envolvidos no estudo, análise de documentos e do website do Santuário. Os dados dos questionários foram tratados e analisados no SPSS versão 24 e as entrevistas e os documentos através da análise de conteúdo, no NVivo 10.
Os resultados indicam que a maioria dos inquiridos é católico, tem elevadas habilitações académicas, maioritariamente são portugueses e visitam o santuário de Balasar essencialmente por motivos religiosos. Balasar carateriza-se por possuir uma boa oferta religiosa, estacionamento, limpeza do espaço, apresentando, contudo, algumas debilidades a outros níveis. A esmagadora maioria dos inquiridos tem intenção de voltar e/ou recomendar a visita. O turismo religioso é considerado muito importante
para Balasar, contribuindo para um crescimento económico, motivando a construção do novo santuário.

EX-VOTOS, OBJETOS, RELÍQUIAS E SOUVENIRS: A MATERIALIDADE EM TORNO DA BEATA PORTUGUESA ALEXANDRINA DE BALASAR
No full textThis study aims to examine the material culture surrounding Beata Alexandrina Maria da Costa (1904-1955), known as the "Santinha de Balasar," who was born in a small parish in the north of Portugal. The research hypothesis is that, within the context of devotional Catholicism, the sacred expressed in objects such as relics, ex-votos, souvenirs, and others is a significant factor in the formation of the devotional community surrounding Alexandrina and in the aura of mythical holiness that elevates a saint to the altars. The methodology employed was a qualitative approach, comprising field research at the Balasar Sanctuary, interviews, the collection of primary sources, and a partial review of academic-scientific literature. In addition to presenting the Santinha de Balasar and her trajectory, the text addresses significant discussions about ex-votos and the religious market, with particular emphasis on the production of relics and souvenirs related to the Beata.O presente estudo visa abordar a materialidade em torno da Beata Alexandrina Maria da Costa (1904-1955), conhecida como a “Santinha de Balasar”, nascida em uma pequena freguesia situada ao norte de Portugal. A hipótese da investigação é que, no âmbito do catolicismo devocional, o sagrado expresso nos objetos, como relíquias, ex-votos, souvenirs, dentre outros, constitui um dos principais componentes, para a formação da comunidade devocional em torno de Alexandrina e para a aura de santidade mítica que eleva um santo ou uma santa aos altares. Como metodologia adotamos uma abordagem qualitativa, realizando pesquisa de campo no Santuário de Balasar, entrevistas, captação de fontes primárias, e uma revisão parcial da literatura acadêmica-científica. Além de apresentarmos a Santinha de Balasar e sua trajetória, o texto traz importantes discussões acerca dos ex-votos, mercado religioso, dando ênfase à produção de relíquias e souvenirs relacionados à Beata
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Os «simples» e o Reino dos Céus
No full textRealçam-se neste artigo as marcas de simplicidade, de pobreza e de inocência que foram próprias da Beata Alexandrina de Balasar. Marcas evangélicas que são também das muitas pessoas que ali acorreram em vida dela, para a verem, e agora para a venerarem. Também as do sacrifício por amor de Jesus, a sugerirem que o caminho de Balasar não será o do triunfo e o da grande ostentação, mas será, sem dúvida o do Calvário, como caminho de renúncia, de silêncio e de oferta de amor
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
