Algorithmic frictions
This article advances the conceptualization of algorithmic frictions by examining how couriers navigate the intersection of algorithmic systems and urban spaces on on-demand delivery platforms. Drawing on an autoethnographic account of courier work in Lisbon in 2019 that was subsequently interpreted collaboratively and triangulated with other methods, the study illustrates how frictions arise from the interactions between platforms, local urban c…
Evidence of creative clusters in Portugal
The late twentieth century consolidated a series of socioeconomic transformations that have impacted modes of production, consumption, relationships, enjoyment, and accumulation. The intangibility and digitization anchored in the revolution of information and communication technologies are markers of this structural shift. At the core of this process, creativity, knowledge, innovation, and place have become even more critical inputs for the devel…

In Memoriam
Alastair Dawson was a physical geographer and interdisciplinary Earth scientist who made outstanding contributions to understanding the development of the Scottish landscape and to Quaternary environmental change. His thoughtful and innovative research has had a lasting influence, particularly on glacial and periglacial geomorphology, interactions between ice-sheets, palaeoclimate and sea-level change, and the recognition and interpretation of Ho…
Artists, territories and cultural policy
Contemporary economies are focused on issues anchored by place/territory, through public policies and market strategies. Municipal policies have a greater advantage in the cultural sector than other levels of governance (provinces/states, country) since cities have tools and instruments to shape the cultural economy to a local character and meet their specificities and local creative milieus. Having this in mind, this work seeks to analyse the re…
Creative Tourism as Boosting Tool for Placemaking Strategies in Peripheral Areas
Creative tourism is starting in Portugal as a labelled and structured alternative aiming to produce a boosting effect in peripheral areas. By linking places, host communities and tourists in the cocreation of differentiated experiences, this tourism offer challenges destinations and communities to be creative and reinvent themselves as placemaking agents in the coproduction of territorial amenities. As such, creative tourism can be a useful tool …
Valuing culture and creativity impacts in a global technological era
In a global world, increasingly mediated by new technologies, but where place, communities and territories assume even more importance, the valuing of culture and creativity faces new conceptual and operational challenges. This paper addresses these challenges in order to question the measurement tools usually applied in valuing the impact of culture in society, proposing a new conceptual grid to assess the impacts of creative and cultural activi…

The geology of Macao is dominated by two groups of Jurassic granitic rocks belonging to an i…
Urban experimentation and smart cities
This paper provides an analytical framework capable of critically analysing the currently hegemonic phenomenon of smart cities in the contemporary metropolis, particularly concerning their assumptions and potential effects. Using a critical perspective through the scope of governmentality studies and autonomist literature, an analytical framework is presented that allows for the comprehension and critical analysis of the phenomenon in question. B…
The role of climate, marine influence and sedimentation rates in late-Holocene estuarine evolution (SW Portugal)
Estuaries are sensitive to changes in global to regional sea level, to climate-driven variation in rainfall and to fluvial discharge. In this study, we use source and environmentally sensitive proxies together with radiocarbon dating to examine a 7-m-thick sedimentary record from the Sado estuary accumulated throughout the last 3.6 kyr. The lithofacies, geochemistry and diatom assemblages in the sediments accumulated between 3570 and 3240 cal. BP…
Knowledge Transfer in the Cultural and Creative Sector
The 21st century has witnessed a growth in the importance given to the third mission of Higher Education Institutions (HEI). This third mission refers to the socioeconomic engagement with the surrounding social and business fabric, namely in the form of knowledge transfer (KT) schemes and policies. Despite its widely-recognized importance, the Cultural and Creative Sector (CCS) has remained only marginally engaged with HEI, in part due to the lac…
Dos dois lados do espelho
As intervenções artísticas em bairros culturais podem ser uma boa forma de compreender as múltiplas camadas de usos, codificações e segregações que afetam estes espaços urbanos e que contribuem para a sua vitalidade quotidiana. Permitem também complementar e testar na prática muitos dos resultados obtidos pelos processos de investigação mais “convencionais” utilizados na pesquisa sobre esses territórios, possibilitando um diálogo a diferentes nív…

The Impact of Body Dissatisfaction on Distressing Sexual Difficulties Among Men and Women
Research has demonstrated a negative impact of cognitive distraction on sexual activity, and body dissatisfaction has been associated with less satisfying and fewer sexual activities. In the current study we examined the extent to which cognitive distraction, based on body appearance and sexual performance, mediated the impact of body dissatisfaction on sexual difficulties among women and men. A sample of 493 women (M age = 30.61) and 595 men (M …

A tsunami record in the sedimentary archive of the central Algarve coast, Portugal
This study describes sedimentation associated with the tsunami generated by the Lisbon earthquake of ad 1755. It is argued here that the tsunami deposited a sand sheet across the Lagoa dos Salgados (central Algarve, Portugal), that is intercalated with late-Holocene estuarine/lagoonal sediments. A wide range of proxies (sedimentological, exoscopic and palaeontological) are used to establish the provenance of the sandy material as well as to const…

Creativity, Innovation and Territorial Agglomeration in Cultural Activities
This book analyses the economic development of cities from the ‘cultural economy’ and ‘creative industry’ perspectives, examining and differentiating them as two related but distinct segments of contemporary city economies. The authors argue that although they are normally conflated, the first is largely subsidized while the second is highly entrepreneurial hence they actually make very different kinds of contribution to a city’s character, attra…
