A revitalização de espaços e elementos simbólicos, conjuntamente a governança de territórios habitados é uma prioridade dos povos originários da America Latina, diante de uma historia de repressão cultural. Estes, por sua vez, tentam conservar elementos próprios de sua cultura. Contudo, esse esforço não é tarefa fácil quando há o predomínio da cultura ocidental, pretensiosamente homogênea, com traços urbanos e materialistas. Os Mapuches se encontram em uma situação de precariedade no Chile, são discursivamente descontextualizados e desterritorializados. A problemática esta dada pelas disputas e imposições sobre uso e acessos a recursos naturais, neste caso, a qualidade da água, o que altera e condiciona a cotidianidade da comunidade indígena. Neste contexto o presente trabalho objetiva dar conta de uma experiência na qual se procurou avançar na identificação e priorização das demandas da comunidade de Tralcao para respondê-las a partir de uma proposta de turismo de base comunitária (TBC). Metodologicamente, trabalhou-se com pesquisa-ação participante, a partir de oficinas e observações de campo. Realizou-se um transecto com estudantes do ensino médio que participam do Projeto Pré-Honra de Ecolíderes, universitários que compõem o Programa de Honra em Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Humano Sustentável, no âmbito da Universidade Austral do Chile, e membros da comunidade indígena de Tralcao. O transecto baseia-se na coleta de dados ao longo de uma caminhada de reconhecimento do território mediante observações sistemáticas sobre modos de vida e biodiversidade. O eixo articulador do turismo de base comunitária (TBC) se sustentou a partir da comunidade, convivialidade e cotidianidade mapuche, na qual se deseja conservar seus modos de vida e preservar a biodiversidade territorial, construindo de maneira solidária propostas de turismo como alternativa para resgatar, difundir e conservar o mundo mapuche. Não se deseja transformar comunidades em aldeias paradisíacas, no sentido de espetacularizá-las. O TBC pode ser utilizado como um arranjo pedagógico que melhor qualifica a educação ambiental, no sentido de formar cidadãos proativos, ao contrário de seres passivos, utilizando-se de trilhas interpretativas de paisagens naturais associadas a paisagens construídas. ABSTRACT The revitalization of the symbolic spaces and elements, along with the governability of the inhabited territories, are a priority among the original peoples of Latin America in the context of a history of cultural repression, who try to retain their identity. However, such an effort is far from easy under the hegemony of a Western culture that aims to impose homogeneity, materialism and urbanism to indigenous societies. The Mapuche live under a situation of vulnerability in Chile, discursively decontextualized and deterritorialized. The problem arises from the disputes and restrictions over Access and use of natural resources, and in this case, over the quality of water that conditions and modifies indigenous community everyday life. In this context, this paper informs about an experience through which it was aimed to create instances to identify, promote and prioritize the Tralcao community’s claims, while generating new ways of inter and transdiciplinary knowledge to confront such claims including a proposal of community based tourism (CBT) as a practical engagement in the process. This experience was worked by means of participatory research, from office work and field observations. With a group of high school and university students along with members of the local community, a transect was designed and studied. Participants of this experience were students of the Honors Program in environmental Studies of the Universidad Austral de Chile, the Pre-Honors Project of Eco leaders, and the community of Tralcao. The transect consisted in the gathering of environmental information through a walk of recognition of the community territory about the ways of life and biodiversity. Community based tourism is based upon hospitality, everyday life and sharing and it aims the conservation of local ways of life and the protection of biodiversity. It ambitions to design tourism as a strategy for rescuing, disseminating and conserving the Mapuche world. It avoids, however, the exhibition of such world as paradisiacal. The CBT may be used as a pedagogical method for providing environmental education, thus, contributing to the formation of citizens rather than passive individuals. In so doing, it recognizes the signals that are inscribed in the natural landscapes associated with the built environment.

Textualizing the memory(ies) of physical and cultural encounter(s) between Self and Other, travel literature/writing often combines subjectivity with documental information which may prove relevant to better assess mentalities, everyday life and the social history of any given ‘timeplace’. That is the case with Growing up English. Memories of Portugal 1907-1930, by D. J. Baylis (née Bucknall), prefaced by Peter Mollet as “(…) a remarkably vivid and well written observation of the times expressed with humour and not little ‘carinho’. In all they make excellent reading especially for those of us interested in the recent past.” (Baylis: 2)

Holiness is a challenge for contemporary Jewish thought. The concept of holiness is crucial to religious discourse in general and to Jewish discourse in particular. “Holiness” seems to express an important feature of religious thought and of religious ways of life. Yet the concept is ill defined. This collection explores what concepts of holiness were operative in different periods of Jewish history and bodies of Jewish literature. It offers preliminary reflections on their theological and philosophical import today. The contributors illumine some of the major episodes concerning holiness in the history of the development of the Jewish tradition. They think about the problems and potential implicit in Judaic concepts of holiness, to make them explicit, and to try to retrieve the concepts for contemporary theological and philosophical reflection. Holiness is elusive but it need not be opaque. This volume makes Jewish concepts of holiness lucid, accessible, and intellectually engaging.

This chapter explores the material culture of everyday life in late-Renaissance Paris by setting L’Estoile’s diaries and after-death inventory against a sample of the inventories of thirty-nine of his colleagues. L’Estoile and his family lived embedded in the society of royal office-holders and negotiated their place in its hierarchy with mixed success. His home was cramped and his wardrobe rather shabby. The paintings he displayed in the reception rooms reveal his iconoclastic attitude to the visual, contrasting with the overwhelming number of Catholic devotional pictures displayed by his colleagues. Yet the collection he stored in his study and cabinet made him stand out in his milieu as a distinguished curieux. It deserves a place in the early modern history of collecting, as his example reveals that the civil wars might be a stimulus as much as a disruption to collecting in sixteenth-century France.
