Description
Summary:Globalisation and the intensification of migratory flows have favoured an increase in new forms of cultural expression, which represent an asset of significant economic and cultural value for the city of Lisbon. In the light of this process, and on the basis of our analytical proposal of an ethnocultural production system (EPS), it was possible to study how the articulation of various processes (economic, cultural and political) that occur and interact in the EPS help to support the appearance of new ethnically oriented markets (EOMs). Making comparisons with the empirical studies carried out (two questionnaires, one each onethnocultural supply and demand, and two ethnographical case studies, one in the area of Martim Moniz in Lisbon, and the other in the Cova da Moura neighbourhood in the Municipality of Amadora), we show, on the one hand, how an ethnocultural economy (EE) emerges in connection with the migratory flows mentioned and, on the other hand, what the important processes and actors are. La globalización y la intensificación de los flujos migratorios han propiciado el aumento de nuevas expresiones culturales que se constituyen como un valor económico y cultural relevante para la ciudad de Lisboa. Teniendo en cuenta este proceso, y partiendo de nuestra propuesta analítica de sistema de producción etnocultural (SPE), fue posible estudiar como la articulación de varios procesos (económicos,culturales y políticos) que ocurren e interactúan en el SPE contribuyen para soportar la emergencia de nuevos mercados de referencias étnicas (MRE). Confrontando con los estudios empíricos realizados (doscuestionarios, uno a la demanda y otro al suministro etnocultural, y dos estudios de caso de naturaleza etnográfica, uno en la zona de Martim Moniz en Lisboa y otro en el barrio de Cova da Moura, en elmunicipio de Amadora), mostramos, por un lado, como emerge una economía etnocultural (EE) asociada a los referidos flujos migratorios e, por otro lado, cuáles son los procesos y los actores relevantes. La mondialisation et l’intensification des flux migratoires ont fait naître de nouvelles expressions culturelles qui constituent une importante valeur économique et culturelle pour la ville de Lisbonne. Compte tenude ce processus et en partant de notre proposition analytique de système de production ethnoculturelle (SPE), nous avons pu étudier comment l’articulation de plusieurs processus (économiques, culturels etpolitiques) qui interagissent dans le SPE concourent à
