Ilha de Moçambique - patrimônio mundial e turismo no bazar global dos lugares

Abstract

The city has always been an important research object to shed light on the social and political relations that mediate life in society. With the transformations brought about by the industrial revolution and later by globalization, the influence of foreign capital on national economies provoked a revolution in international relations and local public policies. Among the public policies that allow us to better understand these transnational economic relations that have marked the global market in recent decades, heritage policies stand out, as they shed light on the still colonial structures that persist between the global north and south. From the ethnographic work carried out in Ilha de Moçambique on (1) laws and resolutions of heritage policy, (2) houses and conflicts involving their conservation and housing, (3) the public hearing on urban planning, (4) tourism and work on the island, (5) the sheikh's house, (6) the presidential elections and (7) parties, in addition to a diverse bibliographic reference and the shared production of videos and photographic images, is what this thesis intends to point out clues to understanding the effects of these international policies on people's lives and urban planning at sites considered world heritage sites.
