Abstract(s)
Em Lisboa, o bairro da Mouraria foi confinado à marginalidade durante várias décadas
apesar de ser um dos bairros históricos mais emblemáticos da cidade. Nos últimos anos,
notoriamente a partir de 2008, a imagem do bairro tem vindo a modificar-se. Hoje, a
Mouraria é vista por muitos como um local de passagem obrigatório na cidade de Lisboa.
As festas foram sempre parte da vivência da cidade de Lisboa e também da Mouraria,
sendo as festas de Santo António e outras de carácter religioso de suma importância para
o bairro e os seus habitantes.
Esta dissertação teve como intenção analisar de que modo as festas na Mouraria
contribuíram e contribuem para a abertura do bairro ao turismo. Nos últimos anos
surgiram várias associações no bairro ligadas à realização de festas, para além das festas
populares no mês de Junho, que consigo trouxeram nova vida e novos visitantes ao bairro.
Neste estudo, foi avaliada a percepção que as pessoas do bairro têm das festas e também
a perspectiva dos turistas que visitam o bairro.
Com esta dissertação foi possível concluir que as festas são, de facto, importantes no que
toca à abertura do bairro para o turismo e para a vivência sócio-económica das pessoas
do mesmo. No entanto, as festas populares têm um carácter marcadamente sazonal e, por
isso, o trabalho de associações como a Renovar a Mouraria e a Casa da Achada que
dispõem de oferta cultural e de entretenimento durante todo o ano, é de grande
importância para continuar a dinamização da Mouraria e torná-la cada vez mais um bairro
do turismo.
In Lisbon, Mouraria was a marginalized neighborhood for a number of decades, despite being one of the most traditional historical neighborhoods in the city. In the past few years - especially since 2008 – Mouraria’s reputation started to change. Today, Mouraria is seen as an obligatory stop when it comes to the city of Lisbon. Festivities were always an important part in the city life in Lisbon and that is also true in Mouraria’s case. The Santo António Festivities and other religious festivities were always of great importance to the neighborhood and its inhabitants. This thesis aimed to analyse the way the festivities in Mouraria have contributed to the increase of tourism in the area. In the past few years, many new organizations were formed in Mouraria which contributed to the increase of festivities in the neighborhood, other than the traditional religious ones. These new festivities brought new life and new visitors to Mouraria. One of the purposes of this thesis was to evaluate the perception its inhabitants have of this changes and how the tourists see Mouraria and its festivities. This thesis concludes that the festivities are indeed an important factor when it comes to the increase of tourism in Mouraria. However, the June festivities are markedly seasonal and because of that the work of organizations like Renovar a Mouraria and Casa da Achada is of great importance when it comes to making Mouraria into a neighboorhood for tourism.
