- Learning how to work in the arts field in portugal: a biographical approach to the migrant artists' trajectoriesPublication . Ferro, Lígia; Abrantes, Pedro; Veloso, Luísa; Lopes, João TeixeiraThe article considers the key dimensions of the life trajectories of the immigrant artists living in the Lisbon metropolitan area focusing on those related to the socialization process both in formal institutions and in a broader setting of informal learning. The authors conducted a sociological analysis of 20 biographical interviews with a heterogeneous set of individuals, including musicians, dancers and plastic artists. These interviews were a part of the research project on the social trajectories of migrant artists from the non-European Union countries living in Portugal. The results of the analysis show that formal and informal learning together with the migrant experience are intertwined and constitute the key factor in the configuration of migrant trajectories. There is often a mobility pattern across art styles, which makes differences between formal and informal circumstances in the life trajectories of migrant artists evident. Migration has a strong impact on the artistic work; this impact affects different areas of biographical experience: contact with the Portuguese culture, development of ethnic references, and participation in transnational art movements. The condition of immigrant artists generally implies a long trajectory of artistic training, including significant experiences of formal and informal learning in multiple social contexts throughout the life course. For those dedicated to the new transnational urban cultures (hip hop, graffiti, etc.), informal learning is the most important element. For those engaged in the traditional arts, the attendance of lengthy artistic programs seems to be a fundamental prerequisite for training and recognition. Together with the long and significant artists’ investments in their education, the sociological study also revealed the great vulnerability (and precariousness) of their life trajectories, and the lack of structures supporting their access to the labor market.
- Analysing biographies in transnational educational spaces: transitions to higher education of alumni from an IB school in LisbonPublication . Schippling, Anne; Abrantes, PedroTaking the example of educational biographies of alumni of an IB World School in the Lisbon region, the article aims to explore the potential of the concept of transnational educational spaces for biographical research. We focus on the biographical stage of transition to higher education as a crucial phase of students’ biographies where we can observe constructions, reconfigurations and passages between (transnational) spaces. Our results show a bias to the British system at the transition to higher education, which also has implications for regarding the IB schools as transnational educational spaces.
- Arts education in Portugal: national curricula and emancipatory projectsPublication . Abrantes, Pedro; Ferro, Lígia; Lopes, João Teixeira; Veloso, Luísa; Swinnerton, Maria de AssisThis chapter addresses the role played by arts education in the promotion of citizenship and human development, in the framework of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Taking the Portuguese education sys tem as a case study, we describe how arts education has been conceived in the national school curricula from the 1960s until today. We then discuss three emanci patory projects of arts education.
- Socialização, trajetórias educativas e internacionalização entre jovens das classes dominantesPublication . Abrantes, Pedro; Schippling, Anne; Santos, SusanaCom base numa linha de investigação desenvolvida nos últimos dez anos, no presente artigo discutimos o conceito de socialização, argumentando que o mesmo se mantém fundamental para compreender as trajetórias individuais e as desigualdades sociais no contexto da globalização. Tendo por referência as teorias de autores clássicos, investigações realizadas desde os nais do século xx permitem atualizar e alargar o potencial heurístico deste conceito. No artigo aplicamos este quadro conceptual à análise de histórias de vida recolhidas no âmbito de duas pesquisas recentes em Lisboa: uma com estudantes de colégios internacionais e outra com jovens advogados. O conceito de socialização é então mobilizado para compreender as trajetórias destes jovens e, de modo mais amplo, a (re)produção das desigualdades juvenis nas sociedades contemporâneas, com enfoque na dimensão da internacionalização.
- La educación en tiempos virales: el caso de PortugalPublication . Abrantes, PedroEste artículo presenta una contribución para comprender los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19 en la educación (básica y secundaria). Se centra en el proceso de confinamiento y la consiguiente transición hacia un modelo de enseñanza a distancia vivido en Portugal entre marzo y junio de 2020. Para ello, se empieza por buscar un marco teórico adecuado que permita comprender un fenómeno novedoso, imprevisible y que cuenta con un trasfondo biológico, pero que ha accionado un conjunto complejo de dinámicas políticas, económicas, sociales y culturales. A continuación, se discuten algunos informes internacionales relevantes. En la segunda parte, tras algunas notas metodológicas, se analizan los principales resultados de un cuestionario aplicado a los directores de escuela en Portugal, en tres sucesivos momentos, lo que permite entender tendencias y evoluciones durante el periodo analizado. La conclusión central es que las escuelas portuguesas han podido garantizar a la gran mayoría de sus alumnos una oferta educativa en línea, a través de un proceso intensivo de aprendizaje de los maestros, de desarrollo organizativo y de una colaboración sin precedentes entre los diversos actores educativos. A pesar de una notable diversidad de soluciones, la tendencia dominante fue la «migración» temporal del modelo educativo tradicional hacia escenarios digitales «estandarizados» y, por ende, no ha sido posible involucrar a una parte de niños y jóvenes en condiciones más vulnerables, ni desarrollar de forma consistente un modelo pedagógico más creativo, inclusivo e innovador.
