It has been reported from the ancient records that human had to cultivate and the store food for consumption but as time passed humans started to travel from one place to another in search of food and drink which further in the modern era gave rise to the tourism sector where people travel for one place to another to explore new culture and experience the local cuisine which depicts about the place and its community living around the region. Due to this, there was a tremendous increase in the percentage of tourists every year in different continents where they only travel for leisure and availing the local cuisine that included both food and the local beverage of the location. Therefore, the essence of food is also a vital part of the lifestyle for every individual and tourists who travel to the destination and try to experience the local cuisine.

This study aims to determine the differences between behaviors of potential tourists by examining how the crisis perception of COVID-19 impacts tourism demand and what kind of attitudinal dimensions potential tourists bring to the fore in their travel requests. Data were collected from 685 local tourists living in Turkey. Explanatory Factor Analysis was performed, followed by a t-test and one-way ANOVA, to determine the differences between demographic features. In the face of the pandemic, the potential tourist will tend to isolate, avoid, and turn to alternative forms of tourism. In addition, the approach to traditional travel and accommodation activities is changing and has been altogether thrown into question. The differentiation of tourism preferences according to the demographic characteristics of participants reveals that the effects of the pandemic differ depending on personal characteristics. The effect of external environmental conditions on consumer behavior and demand in tourism is a topic studied in the literature. There are also studies on the impact of regional epidemics on tourism, such as SARS, Ebola, among others. However, empirical studies on the impact of a global pandemic such as the Covid-19 on consumer behavior and demand in tourism are limited. This study which determine the effect of Covid-19 on tourism demand and consumer behavior, will contribute to the literature. The results of this study can be a guide for tourism businesses in other countries. It can be a source for academically similar studies in terms of method and application.

Country-of-origin is one of the most crucial aspects of a brand's success. Country-of-origin has a significant impact on how brands are perceived, especially in terms of the promise of quality they deliver. While different countries have announced vaccines, there has been a global hesitation to buy into those claims. Successful adoption of a successful vaccine is critical to re-launching global travel and the leisure economy. In this article, we discuss the importance of country of origin in products getting the trust needed for them to succeed – particularly a vaccine for Covid-19. A preliminary survey was conducted among 662 Iranian social media users, directly on LinkedIn and also via a Google survey instrument. Germany merged to be the iconic symbol of quality and transparency and respondents felt confident that they would not hesitate to be subjected to a German made vaccine. Germany is globally perceived as a quality leader in high technologies and medicine and Iranians concurred with this belief.  Keywords: Country of origin; Branding; Vaccine; Covid-19; Tourism; Iran.

Esse artigo tem por objetivo analisar, a partir de quatro beijos específicos, quais sentidos então se mobilizam sobre gêneros e sexualidades. Ao empreendermos uma análise crítica cultural, ancorada em referenciais teóricos e políticos caros aos estudos de gênero/sexualidade/teoria queer, constatamos como, a partir dos beijos de Félix e Niko (Amor à Vida, 2013), de Luccino e Otávio (Orgulho e Paixão, 2018), de Pablo e Willian (Bom Sucesso, 2019) e de Guga e Serginho (Malhação – Toda forma de amar, 2019), constituem-se sentidos muito específicos que dizem sobre possibilidades e impossibilidades de ser e de estar no mundo enquanto gay. Um beijo que apenas é autorizado mediante redenção do vilão e estabelecimento de um relacionamento heteronormativo (Amor à Vida), um beijo e uma relação, que apenas podem acontecer em privado, uma vez que, publicamente, não haveria um casal, mas dois vizinhos (Orgulho e Paixão), um beijo que se dá no contexto do armário e mediante existência de uma relação heterossexual de fachada (Bom Sucesso) e um beijo que, ainda que em público, é repreendido sob lógica homofóbica (Malhação – Toda forma de amar) sinalizam uma série de interdições que são fundamentais de serem consideradas e que aqui são discutidas.

The year 2020 markedly became a period of major changes in human history. The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, COVID-19, created an unprecedented economic crisis, ocausing a temporary halt in several activities worldwide and a movement to reflect on new ways of creating more responsible and innovative tourism. In view of this scenario, the present work seeks to analyze the impacts, especially economic ones, arising from the pandemic of the new coronavirus on tourism in the municipality of Ouro Preto (MG). We opted for the appreciation of the lodging facilities segment due to its occupancy rate which reflects the flow of tourists in the locality. In order to achieve the proposed objective, interviews with semi-structured scripts, questionnaires, and the Tax Comparison of Service of Any Nature - TCSAN of the years 2018, 2019, and 2020 were collected from companies that performed the activity of hosting in the locality. Through this, it was possible to observe some reflexes of this impact, such as the lack of management for periods of crisis and the resumption without planning, resulting in an increase in the number of deaths and contaminated people.

O presente artigo objetiva apresentar elementos históricos, teóricos e políticos que possibilitem maior apreensão das contribuições fanonianas para uma formação antirracista no Serviço Social brasileiro. Desse modo, o texto está dividido em três tópicos: no primeiro momento expomos sobre a vida e obra do autor; em segundo, apresentamos as elaborações teóricas fanonianas sobre colonialismo e racismo e, por fim, anunciamos elementos para a viabilização de uma formação profissional antirracista no Serviço Social. Nesse caminho, damos destaque para a importância da apreensão do racismo como um dos componentes estruturantes do sistema capitalista.

Este trabalho, inicialmente apresentado em junho de 2020 no Congresso Virtual da Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores em Cibercultura - ABCiber, foi revisto, atualizado e ampliado desde então, com a intenção de acompanhar a retificação dos dados produzidos, de modo acelerado, pelo campo. Temos como objetivo observar as alterações na produção, circulação e audiência da ficção televisiva brasileira, durante um ano — de março de 2020 a março de 2021 —, considerando a emergência da pandemia de Covid-19 e o processo de distanciamento social no Brasil, ainda que o mesmo tenha se apresentado em diferentes momentos e intensidades nas diversas regiões do país. Para isso foi realizado um levantamento de dados tanto em instituições de pesquisa como em artigos jornalísticos visando observar as mudanças comportamentais da sociedade em decorrência da pandemia e também os ajustes necessários feitos pela indústria cultural nacional diante das alterações exigidas pela necessidade de segurança sanitária. Depois, os dados levantados foram associados a uma revisão de literatura, tendo como base o pensamento complexo de Morin (2010). A coleta de dados, bem como a análise dos mesmos foram concentrados nas produções da Globo e em suas estratégias de programação no período.

Las performances nostálgicas son fundamentales para comprender la valoración de las construcciones en la música popular periférica brasileña. El artículo busca analizar cómo se realiza la nostalgia en la música brega de Pernambuco, a partir de un debate que se centra en el reconocimiento de guiones performáticos (TAYLOR, 2013) y acciones nostálgicas (BOYM, 2010) como una forma de reintegrar a artistas “olvidados” en el contexto intensa jovialización del género musical. El foco está en la banda Amigas do Brega, un proyecto que tiene como objetivo la reintegración de artistas de lo “viejo” en el mercado de la música intensamente juvenil como resultado del surgimiento de prácticas de consumo de música digital. Se entiende que la ausencia de archivos y marcadores históricos de la música brega incide en la disputa por espacios de memoria en los que la encarnación del pasado opera como un capital importante para los artistas musicales. El análisis se centra en un espectáculo grabado en DVD y exhibido en la plataforma de videos de YouTube de las categorías de nostalgia reparadora y reparadora, propuesto por Boym, señalando zonas tensas entre la memoria y el olvido en la música popular periférica brasileña.

O presente artigo apresenta um relato descritivo a partir da vivência das autoras como gestoras em um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial universitário. Tem por objetivo provocar reflexões sobre a indissociabilidade entre a assistência e a formação, procurando trazer para o debate questões tanto sobre o processo de trabalho em saúde mental como sobre a dimensão ética, política e técnica da formação de recursos humanos para a área. As articulações ensino/serviço nos processos formativos são entendidas como componentes essenciais na construção da política de saúde mental ancorada nos pressupostos da Reforma Psiquiátrica. A síntese das reflexões aponta para a importância da articulação com a rede de atenção psicossocial, evitando-se modelos de formação e assistência endógenos, a participação em instâncias colegiadas da saúde mental e o investimento na formação por meio da educação continuada e da articulação orgânica entre Universidade e rede de serviços.

Através de pesquisas sobre população em situação de rua, organizadas a nível nacional em 2007-2008 e na esfera local, entre 2018 e 2019, em Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ, bem como a partir de estudos sobre documentos produzidos e depoimentos colhidos em eventos locais, o artigo apresenta reflexões com aproximações analíticas acerca da relação entre os moradores em situação de rua e o mundo do trabalho. Apresenta uma conjuntura de mundialização do capital e de efeitos deletérios no campo dos direitos, sinalizando como tais processos atingiram a produção e reprodução social da população em situação de rua, assim como destaca os mínimos parâmetros legais assegurados pelo poder público, diante de sua retração na promoção de políticas e programas sociais. Ressalta que a participação social e a organização dos moradores em situação de rua, na esfera pública, com apoios e parcerias, é um mecanismo para visibilidade, interlocução com o poder público e reivindicação de direitos.

This paper presents translations into Brazilian Portuguese of the seven first sections of the Technopaegnion, a poem of Decimius Magnus Ausonius (IV AD). The Roman poet composition is subdivided into 14 sections, containing three prologues written in prose and eleven sections in verse – these sections are characterized by poetic games with monosyllabic words. In this paper, for each section in verse two translations are carried out: a non-poetic translation and a poetic one. Initially, I reiterate briefly elements concerning Ausonius’ biography and his work, given that he is practically unknown in Brazil, as Fulgentius and Lactantius, authors also examined by me in other papers. The contributions of João Angelo Oliva Neto (2014; 2016) and Everton Natividade (2013) are emphasized again. As a final remark it is important to note that this work is part of a bigger translation project of Ausonius' compositions. The Latin text follows again Roger Green’s (1991) edition.
