Current research project: This research project aims to understand the social construction of the tourism market in Aracaju through a case study of proprietors of beach bars and restaurants situated along the southern coastline of Aracaju. This research project uses economic sociology to understand the creation of a tourism market of beach bars and restaurants seen as a result of processes of cultural and moral categorization and classification by its proprietors. Three research plans were elaborated to delimit the scope of the analysis: the first develops literature review for the foundation of an economic sociology of tourism. The second identifies the proprietors, focusing on their structures of capital and worldviews. The third analyses the impact of the online technology TripAdvisor in changing their attitudes and cognitions about their business. The main contribution of this research project comes from the particular study of beach bar proprietors, leading to a better understanding of the tourism market construction logic, considering the market as a moral construction.   Research Areas: (a) Economic Sociology: the social construction of markets and (2) Sociology of Valuation and Evaluation: social construction of valuation and evaluation metrics.
