This article examines some aspects of the tourist representation of Rio de Janeiro having the souvenirs as support. It reflects upon the tourist image of the city as it appears in the objects considered to be typically for tourists by proposing a folded movement: to the material collected in four stores in Rio de Janeiro, it opposes souvenirs with different cultural backgrounds. It aims at interpreting the place occupied by souvenirs in the broader setting of representations and cultural products that establish Rio as a tourist destination.

Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

To think about higher education in tourism is to understand that professors need specific knowledge of its field of work as well as knowledge of pedagogical practices. Nevertheless, a great number of professors see themselves just as experts in one specific field of work, and act based on tacit knowledge, common sense and mimetically reproduced models. A paradox can be revealed: even though scientific research on tourism is growing, the same pace is not detected in teaching practices for education in tourism programmes. At the course Teaching Practices: Planning and Operation, at the Tourism Master Programm at Universidade de Caxias do Sul, theoretical and practical reflections led to rethinking teaching practices in higher education tourism programmes. From students point of view, outcome was positive, mainly compared with their own comprehension habilities at the beginning and at the end of the course and when enrichment due to epistemology of learning are identified.

This paper analyzes modifications held in museums in order to have a better interaction with local communities and tourists as well. Museums are at present at the service of a mass society where Tourism is a fact. If conservation and research were in the past the tasks of a museum, nowadays they have to reveal and broadcast multicultural forms and have to do it in an educative and playful manner. Museums reflect the three folded value of heritage: formal aesthetic value, symbolic value related to identities and use value, related mainly to Tourism. The look of the others on our culture makes heritage a social construction. How to transform museums in spaces of appropriation, reflection and enjoyment for visitors and how to achieve that everybody but intellectual classes can understand history as heterogeneous and crosscut?
