Today we live in a globalized world, with no boundaries, and where we can be updated of any information by the minute. This globalization phenomenon has a lot of advantages as well as disadvantages. It is wonderful to know the news by the minute, however the easiness and swiftness real news spreads, and same goes to the fake news.Tools, such as search engines like Google, Bing, Yandex, etc. and Social Media (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) or Blogs, are turning information sharing easier, but uncontrolled.

The tourism is one of the most complex social phenomena and is assumed as a crucial economic activity, being considered fundamental for countries with tourism potential, such as Portugal. The aim of this research was to understand how often tourist mobile applications are used and whether their use is relevant to the intention of visiting the Algarve region, considering the users' intention of using and accepting technologies. A model based on the TAM -Technology Acceptance Model was developed, and through a survey, with a non-probabilistic sample for convenience, factors influencing users' behaviour on the perception of ease of use and usefulness were analysed, and factors contributing and influencing the consumer's attitude towards mobile marketing, such as: perceived risk, perceived value and credibility. The results of the survey revealed that the usage rate of tourist applications is high contributing to the intention to visit the Algarve, indicating as main reasons, the access to feedback from other users, the easy access to this type of applications and their speed.

Este artigo resulta de uma investigação sobre as memórias do bairro da Mouraria na cidade de Lisboa, tendo o seu foco no Grupo Desportivo da Mouraria, uma associação apoiada pelo Estado Novo e utilizada em prol deste para propaganda ideológica. Partindo da ideia de micro-história de Ginzburg (1989) propusemonos analisar os rituais e actividades promovidos na Mouraria, pelo grupo desportivo, através das memórias das pessoas que os desempenham e suportam. Pressupondo que as fotografias têm uma contribuição inigualável na manutenção das nossas memórias, procurámos que estas nos guiassem na recolha da história de vida de cada um dos entrevistados, através da técnica de photo-elicitation. As histórias e fotografias recolhidas cruzam-se entre si, compondo a história da Mouraria, da sua marcha e dos seus fadistas.
