The basic aim is to understand the strategies underpinning the localization of “clubs,” and to interpret the processes whereby their clients incorporate specific geographies of desire/eroticism and cartographies of male (in)fidelity into their everyday lives. In order to do this, special analytical attention was paid to the diacritical markers that men use to delineate the specific social spheres in which they are permanent or temporary actors, and that indicate the changes taking place in the frames that guide their definition of the distinct situations in which they find themselves. By constructing a multidimensional concept of the border/frontier, the article also explores and interprets men’s experiences in the “ecology” of commercial sex, and their subjective perceptions and attempts to legitimate extramarital sexual pursuits in the context of their most typical daily social roles, in particular those related to the family.

The collection of empirical elements was based on documental research in several sources, such as newspapers, international institutions of an intergovernmental nature and the discussion forum of the travel platform TripAdvisor.FindingsBy assuming mobility and large agglomerations of people from different origins, mass tourism has fostered multiple outbreaks of COVID-19 and the rapid global spread of contagion chains. The pandemic clearly exemplified the responsibility of tourism in the dispersion of biotic agents with severe ecological, economic, s...

No artigo propomos uma incursão neste género de festivais a partir de uma ciberetnografia em redes sociais virtuais e de uma etnografia in situ no Boom Festival (Portugal), um evento-chave no panorama mundial dos festivais transformacionais. Procuramos debater a busca de transformação pessoal e coletiva associada aos processos e condições de liminaridade proporcionados pelo Boom Festival. Através desta análise visamos compreender como se processam os contextos de suspensão temporária do quotidiano durante o festival e em que medida e de que modo esta liminaridade induz processos transformacionais no regresso à vida de todos os dias.

The exercise, deployed through collaborative methods and focus groups, sought to foster the students’ inter-subjective recollection and sharing of their first contacts with professional practice. The integration in the institutional setting, the contact with newly-met routines of practice and the experiencing of complex situations and critical incidents were key dimensions subject of attention. The exercise was focused on three interrelated key dimensions: how students experienced the process of integration in the organization; how students conceptualized intervention problem(s); how students represented the (dis)continuities between academic knowledge and practice-based learnings. The exercise resulted in perceiving the most important challenges students faced in their internship conveyed on their own terms. It also allowed access to the students’ accounts of their first contacts with practice.
