COSTA, Francisco Lima. Globalisation, diversity and “new” creative classes in Lisbon: the ethnocultural economy and the rise of an ethnocultural production system. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2011, n.67, pp.85-106. ISSN 0873-6529.

Globalisation and the intensification of migratory flows have favoured an increase in new forms of cultural expression, which represent an asset of significant economic and cultural value for the city of Lisbon. In the light of this process, and on the basis of our analytical proposal of an ethnocultural production system (EPS), it was possible to study how the articulation of various processes (economic, cultural and political) that occur and interact in the EPS help to support the appearance of new ethnically oriented markets (EOMs). Making comparisons with the empirical studies carried out (two questionnaires, one each on ethnocultural supply and demand, and two ethnographical case studies, one in the area of Martim Moniz in Lisbon, and the other in the Cova da Moura neighbourhood in the Municipality of Amadora), we show, on the one hand, how an ethnocultural economy (EE) emerges in connection with the migratory flows mentioned and, on the other hand, what the important processes and actors are.

Palavras-chave : ethnocultural production system; ethnocultural economy; ethnic tourism.
