Abstract:
This case-study - one of the six integrated
in Cascais-Culture Programme - deals with four analytical axes: cultural
policies and tangible heritage valuation; Cascais assertion strategies
through Tourism and its cosmopolitan nature; cultural co-operation between
municipal councils; articulation between municipal cultural services and
equipments as well as other public and private organizations.
Those axes guide the analysis of a municipal project concerning the Exile
thematic, based on the recent findings of important data about refugees and
exiles that have passed through Cascais and Estoril during the Second World
War.
This analysis includes an overview of several municipal initiatives, as well
as the characterization of a cultural equipment - Espaço Memória dos Exílios
- where those initiatives generally took place. It also includes the results
of a survey to the visitors of this cultural equipment.
