'Quem não vive do mar, vive de quê?’ Sinalizadores de ‘repuxo’ do turismo em Torres/RS, a partir de ‘com-versações’ com moradores

Abstract

The present dissertation has as a general objective to propose 'Repull' flags of Tourism in Torres/RS, from 'com-versations' with residents. It should be noted that repull is a maritime phenomenon that occurs from excess water that is pushed to the sand by the waves and, by gravity, returns to the sea, forming a channel also known as a return current. In the search, ahe reflexive metaphor 'Repull' of Tourism is associated with the discussion proposed by Baptista (2020), from Averse of Tourism, in recognition of the complex weave underlying the phenomenon. This is a production linked to Amorcomtur! - Group of Studies in Communication, Tourism, Loveliness and Autopoiesis (CNPq-UCS), linked to the Postgraduate Program in Tourism and Hospitality (PPGTURH) of the University of Caxias do Sul (UCS). The theoretical-conceptual paths of the research are transversalized by the vision: contemporary and complex, as understood by Morin (2005), Capra (1997, 2020), Crema (1989), Deleuze and Guattari (1995), and Santos (2003; 2019). The theoretical-conceptual trails referring to Tourism were made with authors like Moesch (2000, 2004), Moesch and Beni (2017), Gastal (2002, 2005a) and Baptista (2018, 2020b, 2021), in the understanding of Tourism-Weave-Ecosystem. Regarding narratives and 'com-versations', authors such as Medina (2006, 2014), Marcondes Filho (2008), Sodré (1986), Lima (2009, 2014), Maturana (1988) and Baptista (2018) stand out. In line with the epistemological orientation, the methodological strategy is the Cartography of Knowledge composed of the trail: Personal Knowledge, Theoretical Knowledge, Production Plant and Intuitive Dimension of Research, combined with the production of Rhizomatic Matrices, as a device for checking the fluent balance of the research (BAPTISTA, 2014, 2020b). From the production of the 'com-verse' and narratives of the residents, it was possible to propose five flags of the 'Repull' of Tourism, namely: 1) Ecosystem Planning for Tourism; 2) Culture of the interior as a tourist power of the place; 3) Constructions and (de)constructions of the architectural history of the place; 4) Ecosystem connections with the environment; and 5) Loving ties of place, locals and tourist. The flags are mainly marked by the ecosystem intertwining between them. It was noticed that, in Torres/RS, the main potentiality of Tourism's Blowdown is simplicity and the bonds of love, in everyday life, guided by the tranquility of the interior. In addition, the valuation of aspects such as safety, quality of life and the beautiful natural landscapes was recurrent in the residents' statements, as support for the strong affective bond of these subjects with Torres/RS.
