Publication Open Access Impactful creativity: The role of entrepreneurship Education in driving sustainable development in the cultural and creative industries2025-02-01 - Durão, Marília; Simão, Emília; Veríssimo, Medéia; Nogueira, Sónia; Fernandes, SandraThe cultural and creative sector is one of the most dynamic sectors of the Portuguese economy, contributing to job creation, innovation, social development, preservation of cultural heritage, and the promotion of the country’s image across the globe. Entrepreneurship in the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) plays a crucial role in creating new opportunities for employment and revenue generation. Therefore, entrepreneurship education is receiving increasing attention as a means to contribute to the sustainable development of the cultural and creative sector. Underpinned on an Erasmus+ Project, FENICE ‘Fostering Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Cultural and Creative Industries through Interdisciplinary Education’, the present research contributes to the discussion on the main challenges of entrepreneurship education for the CCIs. Using a qualitative research design, this exploratory study employs a focus group with purposeful sampling as the research method. An online focus group was conducted in February 2023, with 11 participants identified as renowned professionals and experts in various cultural, artistic, and creative fields in Portugal. Preliminary results suggest that creatives are perceived, by nature, as entrepreneurial-oriented and often motivated by passion and a sense of mission. However, they also face a generalized lack of perspective on how products/services from the CCIs should be capitalized or how different monetization models may apply to them, especially when culture is perceived more as a symbolic than a capitalizable good. For many cultural and creative entrepreneurs, difficulties arise when understanding how business or project management tools can contribute to their professional growth within the CCIs.Publication Restricted Access Multidisciplinary Perspectives on New Media Art2020-06 - Soares, Célia; Simão, EmíliaNew media has been gaining importance in the academic world as well as the artistic world through the concept of new media art. As the connections between art and communication technologies grow and further embrace a wide range of concepts, interpretations, and applications, the number of disciplines that will be touched will likewise continue to expand. Multidisciplinary Perspectives on New Media Art is a collection of innovative research on the methods and intersections between new media, artistic practices, and digital technologies. While highlighting topics including audience relationship, digital art, and computer animation, this book is ideally designed for academicians, researchers, high-level art students, and art professionals.Publication Restricted Access Software-based media art: from the artistic exhibition to the conservation models2020-06 - Soares, Celia; Simão, EmíliaThis chapter illustrates the reaction to the preservation and conservation of software-based media art and summarizes the crucial ideas and questions that involve this emergent area of conservation. The chapter analyzes the role in which conservators explore the impact of the method, attitudes to change, technology obsolescence, and the influence of the how the artist imagines and understands their practice on the conservation of these works as they enter the exhibition space. In addressing the conservation of software-based media art, this chapter highlights the variety of knowledge and expertise required: expertise that is personified in the teamwork of those who support these functions. The author completes the chapter by recommending that developing and maintaining these efforts has become a crucial part of the software-based media conservator's role.Publication Open Access Community engagement2023-11-29 - Alcindor, Mónica; Simão, EmíliaThe publication presents the results of the project ‘Versus-Heritage for People’, funded by the Creative Europe EU programme. The main aim of the project was to actively involve a broad audience and raise awareness among it concerning the value of vernacular knowledge in shaping more sustainable and resilient models of development. The material and immaterial elements constituting a vernacular heritage (encompassing local materials, construction methods, models for living and social interaction, technical and environmental knowledge for the management of territories, natural resources, settlements, etc.) have enormous potential for generating forward-thinking models that can improve the environmental and social quality of our habitats, foster a sense of identity and belonging, and relate in a balanced way to the capacities of our planet. The book explores strategies and tools for managing and transmitting knowledge and the values associated with vernacular heritage. It includes concrete examples and good practices for engaging people in processes of knowledge and the enhancement of vernacular heritage values for sustainability. The outcome is the result of the collaborative efforts between the five academic institutions involved in the project – Universitat Politècnica de València as coordinator (ES), University of Florence (IT), University of Cagliari (IT), CRAterre-ENSAG (FR) and Escola Superior Gallaecia at Universidade Portucalense (PT). A total of 63 authors, comprising both external scholars and professionals, contributed to the book.Publication Open Access Digital culture and music: the influence of fandom on musical consolidation in pandemic times through digital platforms [Abstract]2022-07-16 - Borges, Mariane; Simão, EmíliaThis study aims to identify the influence of fandom on the consolidation of artistic success in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, analyzing the behavioral phenomena related to the audience on digital platforms focused on the trajectory of independent artist Ana Cañas. The pandemic caused the cancellation of in-person concerts as a restrictive measure to prevent the spread of the virus, bringing major difficulties for the artists, especially for independent music artists. In the middle of this scenario, Ana Cañas achieved artistic success, made possible due the intervention of fandom: the strategy enabled a live broadcast and recording of an album using digital platforms. This research is based on qualitative and quantitative approach and is classified as a case study, using document analysis and netnography as research techniques for data collection and selection and analysis of comments generated from fan activism, around three digital platforms - Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The uses of the three platforms in the musical experience and the proximity generated with the communication between fan and artist in this period were observed. It was found that fandom activism effectively helped in the musical consolidation of the independent artist, but represented, above all, a political act of resistance. The social impact that the fandom has had in times of crisis, as it was in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, is extremely important. Fans played a social role in promoting the artist, using digital platforms as a space for intervention, debate and criticism. Alternative solutions were proposed through the union and collaboration of its members, who acted independently to achieve a common objective, breaking with the dominant power structures. Being independent in the music world goes beyond the debate that involves indies or majors, indie is a state of mind that sets itself against corporate hegemonic values. The fandom acted as a movement of social mobilization and political participation, claiming their rights based on the participation and engagement of the fans themselves.Publication Open Access Ob.EMMA: A pioneer observatory of electronic music and media art in Portugal2021-10 - Soares, Celia; Santos, Nadine; Simão, EmíliaThe Observatory of Electronic Music and Media Art (Ob.EMMA) is a pioneer observatory created in 2019 for monitoring, mapping, diagnosing and promoting the investigation of electronic music and media art in Portugal.

The intersection of new media and digital art have been opening interesting and seductive new horizons and in parallel, the concept, the understanding, the legitimacy of artistic creation, the role of the artist and the role of the spectator are also redefined. Based on two experimental works of the artist Henrique Silva, the authors analyze and reflect on the relationship of technology, art and virtuality, focusing on concepts like experience, sensory, immersion, communication and interaction in artworks created through digital media.Publication Open Access The importance of creativity in vernacular heritage2021 - Carlos, Gilberto Duarte; Correia, Mariana; Simão, EmíliaIt is rather common to establish orthodox criteria when addressing built heritage subjects, especially regarding operative procedures that range from valorisation to conservation measures. [...]Publication Restricted Access Psychedelic trance on the web: exploring digital parties at second life2015 - Magalhães, Sérgio Tenreiro de; Silva, Armando Malheiro da; Simão, EmíliaThis chapter proposes an approach about Psychedelic Trance tribe behaviours and manifestations in digital environments, and cyber ritual dynamics beyond the virtual parties in Second Life. Many spatial communities are simultaneously digital communities, and both became complements and extensions of one another. Psychedelic Trance movements and manifestations have been happening through all kinds of physical spaces, now also extended to digital spaces. Psytrance neonomads are now techno-nomads, moving to, from, and through the web, redefining themselves, their practices and their gatherings. In this scenario, Psychedelic Trance branches emerges everywhere, especially in social networks and three-dimensional immersive environments like Second Life. This digital migration is not only making the tribe growing, is also enhancing boundaries and increasing the individual and collective consciousness of its members. Nevertheless, even if the Trancers became simultaneously physical and virtual natives, the digital parties do not seems to replace their outside experiences.Publication Open Access Digital Arsthetics in Urban Festivals as instruments of citizenship and creative participation [comunicação oral]2024-07-13 - Teixeira, Ivo; Carvalho, Rodrigo; Simão, EmíliaSem resumo disponível
