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…
Más allá de las fosas comunes
Este artículo contribuye al estudio del movimiento memorialista español a partir de la etnografía del laboratorio de la Asociación para la Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica (ARMH). Más allá de las fosas comunes, la lucha por la memoria se sostiene en espacios invisibilizados como éste. Nuestro trabajo de campo presta atención a su vida cotidiana, colaborando con personal científico, activistas, voluntarias y miembros de la asociación que traba…
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 …
The Fado Museum
This article explores Lisbon’s Fado Museum as an affective, material, symbolic, and performative site of memory in which different audiences such as tourists and the local fado community converge, without necessarily intersecting. We argue that the Fado Museum has evolved from a mere exhibiting space to become a multivalent “heritage infrastructure” that facilitates new spaces of agency in which novel forms of relating to —and dwelling in— herita…
O Museu do Fado
Este artigo aborda o Museu do Fado, situado em Lisboa, como um espaço mobilizador de imaginários turísticos e de memórias afetivas, simbólicas e performativas no qual convergem, sem necessariamente se cruzarem, diferentes públicos como os turistas, aficionados de fado e a comunidade fadista local. Argumentamos que o Museu do Fado evoluiu de um mero espaço expositivo para se tornar numa “infra-estrutura patrimonial” multivalente que facilita novos…
Le musée du fado
Cet article explore le musée du fado de Lisbonne en tant que site affectif, matériel, symbolique et performatif de la mémoire dans lequel convergent, sans nécessairement se croiser, différents publics tels que les touristes et la communauté locale du fado. Nous soutenons que le musée du fado a évolué d’un simple espace d’exposition à une « infrastructure patrimoniale » polyvalente qui facilite de nouveaux espaces d’action dans lesquels émergent d…
Tourism-Dependent Local Music Ecosystems under Covid-19
This article aims to examine the changing atmosphere of Lisbon’s fado live music scene during the COVID-19 crisis. In particular, it focuses on the effects of the lockdown measures and other public health restrictions on the casas de fado, a distinctive type of local institution where music, tourism and the quest for experiences of authenticity intersect. Drawing on in-person and remote interviews with venue owners, local association representati…
A Sonic Anthropocene. Sound Practices in a Changing Environment (II)
Art and anthropology offer a wide variety of methodological tools and discursive arguments that expand how ecological discourse can be framed in current times. Intervening directly upon the field as a site of direct survey, these disciplines have woven common paths in recent decades, as contemporary artistic practices have become research-based, shifting the position of the creator to an investigative role committed to societal change and the obs…
The territoriality of atmosphere
This paper draws on a year‐long ethnographic observation of the tourism‐related practices of atmospheric production in Lisbon (Portugal) and the protests against its unintended consequences. We expand the literature on atmospheric design, staging, and performance by introducing the concept of collateral atmospheres to describe the “other” atmospheres that emerge in the spaces and times beyond produced atmospheres
A Sonic Anthropocene. Sound Practices in a Changing Environment
The introduction to this double issue entitled "A Sonic Anthropocene: Sound Practices in a Changing Environment" explores some of the concepts and methodological issues that inform our understanding of what we call the "Sonic Anthropocene". We argue that incorporating practices of listening and aural documentation that register the transformations in the acoustic landscape creates a space of potential for examining the increasing impact of human …
Isotopic evidence for the reconstruction of diet and mobility during village formation in the Early Middle Ages
Strontium, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes of human bone and tooth remains have been used to reconstruct residential mobility and diet of early medieval populations at Las Gobas from the sixth to eleventh centuries. Most non-local individuals correspond to the tenth to eleventh centuries and were mostly women and infants. This residential mobility coincided with the formation of Laño village and the abandonment of artificial cave settlement. Carbon…
Exploring Nightlife and Urban Change in Bairro Alto, Lisbon
Orgullo del barrio
Esta serie fotográfica retrata el día a día de la preparación de la Marcha de la Mouraria del año 2017, una práctica cultural enraizada en la vida cotidiana de los barrios populares de Lisboa, asociada a la construcción de la identidad local y espacio de expresión de un fuerte sentimiento de pertenencia al barrio. Este ensayo visual quiere poner el acento en la capacidad de resiliencia de un conjunto de vecinos y jóvenes que, congregados en torno…
