Sonic touristification and the transformation of Lisbon’s urban ambiances
This article introduces ‘sonic touristification’ as an analytical framework for examining how tourism reshapes urban soundscapes. Drawing on ethnographic research (2012–2024) across three Lisbon neighborhoods, we identify three mechanisms through which tourism alters sonic environments: thematization (commodifying local sounds), equalization (filtering unwanted sounds), and production of new tourist-driven ambiances. Our multi-sited ethnography c…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on social inequalities in international student mobility: A scoping review
This systematic literature review sheds light on social inequalities in students’ access to and experiences of international student mobility (ISM) in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Following a scoping approach based on the 2020 PRISMA guidelines, it synthesises 48 empirical studies published in the most intense phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, namely between January 2020 and June 2022. The findings demonstrate that the social inequalities …
Navigating between resistance and unintentional collaboration: The role of left-wing grassroots associations in the tourist city
This article explores the ambivalent role of a grassroots cultural and activist association and its forced displacement between two districts as a result of the rapidly advancing frontier of gentrification in the city of Lisbon (Portugal). Strong institutional and private pressures led to the eviction of the association from its former location in the now gentrified Bairro Alto and its relocation to Intendente, a formerly degraded and excluded ar…
Hem perdut es concepte' Espai, Turisme, i els límits del gir de la mobilitat
El 'gir de la mobilitat' sosté que concedir prioritat analítica a l'estudi de la mobilitat és la clau per superar enfocaments metodològics basats en categories fixes i estables, considerades inviables en un món cada cop més mòbil. En aquest article, argumento que l'enfocament de la mobilitat, lluny d'assolir aquest objectiu, en realitat reafirma la divisió entre mobilitat i immobilitat, relegant la immobilitat a una posició passiva i poc teoritza…
Unveiling the intersections between tourism industry and student mobility
Previous studies have shown how student circuits of consumption are mediated by the interest of commercial actors. However, little attention has been paid to the connections between international student stays and the tourism sector: how they intersect with each other? Our fieldwork in Lisbon (Portugal) showed the central role of student organizations in commercializing the leisure time of international students, approaching them to ‘circuits of …
Sistemas de propiedad y organización del trabajo de las furgonetas hiace en Cabo Verde
En el marco del universo del transporte colectivo interurbano en Cabo Verde, el uso de la furgoneta hiace aparece como un fenómeno central, desde mediados de los años '80 del siglo XX, a causa de la ausencia de transporte público y de la falta de acceso de la inmensa mayoría de población al vehículo privado. El siguiente artículo aborda panorámicamente los modelos de propiedad del vehículo (conductores propietarios frente a conductores asalariado…
‘There was no freedom to leave’: Global South international students in Portugal during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article looks at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international students, focusing on Portuguese-speaking African and Brazilian students during the lockdown of spring 2020. Using evidence from interviews conducted with 27 students domiciled in Portugal, we illustrate some of the challenges faced by students when coping with the pandemic, including difficulties in meeting the cost of tertiary education and the centrality of working to s…
Immobility, precarity and the Covid-19 pandemic: The impact of lockdown on international students in Portugal
This article looks at the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic among international students in Portugal, focusing on their experiences during the Spring 2020 lockdown. The discussion begins with an outline of the research context, and recognition of the inherent precarity of much international student life. Our research questions hence look not only at the immediate impact of the pandemic on internationalised learning but also the heightening of pre-e…
Lisbon, the Portuguese Erasmus city? Mis-match between representation in urban policies and international student experiences
This article looks at the mis-match between official discursive representations aimed at promoting Lisbon, the Portuguese capital city, as an international student hub and international students’ experiences. At a theoretical level, our work builds on the idea that re-branding a city’s image in terms of creativity, innovation and new technologies with a view to attract international students can foster less positive urban changes linked to gentri…
An immobility turn? The Covid-19 pandemic, mobility capital and international students in Portugal
Corporeal travel has been highly problematized during the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to the curtailment of many previously taken-for-granted mobilities. This includes the circulation of international students; individuals undertaking short duration credit mobility exchanges alongside those who have migrated for an entire degree course. The objective of this article is to look at how the pandemic has affected credit and degree mobility students fr…
Suddenly last summer: How the tourist tsunami hit Lisbon
En el presente artículo fijamos nuestra atención en la capital de Portugal, Lisboa, y su\n\t\t\t\t reciente proceso de turistificación, que ha forzado a una revisión colectiva de la identidad\n\t\t\t\t de la ciudad y sus narrativas patrimoniales, para encajar los crecientes contrastes entre\n\t\t\t\t marginalidad y centralidad, circulación y calma, abandono y atención pública, indigencia\n\t\t\t\t y afluencia, spleen y euforia. Después de introdu…
Understanding international students beyond studentification: A new class of transnational urban consumers. The example of Erasmus students in Lisbon (Portugal)
For the last 10 years the city of Lisbon has been receiving an increasing number of international students, expanding considerably the supply of student accommodation. In spite of the resulting rise of a new and underdeveloped housing market directed to students, studentification is not exhibiting the usual concentration and segregation patterns of clustering across the city. On the contrary, the effects of student-related economic activities are…
Exploring Nightlife and Urban Change in Bairro Alto, Lisbon
Globalización e internacionalización educativa. Una historia institucional del Programa Erasmus, 1987-2014
El artículo traza la historia del programa ERASMUS desde su aparición en los albores de la globalización económica hasta su fusión con el ambicioso proyecto de un Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), para el que siempre fue una fuente de inspiración. A lo largo del artículo veremos como las estrategias de internacionalización de la Comisión Europea y de los estados miembros -centradas en la promoción del programa ERASMUS- estaban consoli…
The Erasmus Corner: Place-making of a sanitised nightlife spot in the Bairro Alto (Lisbon, Portugal)
Nightlife economic activity has emerged as a key strategy in the regeneration of historical quarters. The case of the Bairro Alto district (Lisbon) exhibits a more gradual and distinct development caused by the marginal and transgressive practices of nightlife visitors, who have resisted its gentrification for decades. Some areas in the Bairro Alto (specially the upper side) have maintained their dangerous character and marginalisation for severa…
Club Carib: A geo-ethnography of seduction in a Lisbon dancing bar
Over the last three decades, nightlife has become one of the most important time–spaces for the reproduction of human relationships. In this paper, we examine Club Carib, a particular nightlife space in Lisbon's Bairro Alto neighbourhood. Our focus is on the flirting strategies that occur during dance sessions. We examine the ways in which these seduction strategies operate in relation to particular constructions of race, class, cultural capital …
Procesos de revalorización patrimonial en el barrio de Alfama: El papel de los estudiantes Erasmus en la tematización de la ciudad
Consideramos a los estudiantes del programa Erasmus como actores sociales implicados en dinámicas de movilidad transnacional y de producción global de sentido, así como en sus procesos urbanísticos concomitantes. En tanto que objetos de la antropología del turismo, presentamos el caso de un grupo de Erasmus en el barrio de Alfama, en Lisboa, cuyos procesos de diferenciación y de producción de la autenticidad conducirán a ciertos emprendedores loc…
