We seek to demonstrate that “financial intermediation” was an apparatus conveyed by members of the roman elites to “legitimize” their political and financial use of indebtedness which we comprehend as social domination, that is, the usage of cultural – ideological – elements and of violence to perpetuate their control over that social formation.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":" 1272","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139135954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are anchored in human experiences; in other words, they result from a cognitive process of transferring the structures of one conceptual domain to another. Although some metaphors are already well known to the public, others are still opaque, hindering communication between citizens and politicians. In this article, it is sought to open the book of metaphors in the political field, from the analysis of a corpus composed of Christmas Messages, released between 2012 and 2023. It is intended to identify the metaphors, reflect on their regularity over time and their relationship with the discursive ethos. It is a fact that, in political interactions, the subject assumes himself as an argumentator, seeking to exert influence on the other not only with his arguments, but also his ethos and this, in my view, may emerge from the metaphors he uses.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"81 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, I extended the present discussion to include both the role the Scottish humanist and reformer George Buchanan played in historical events ensuing the reformation of the Church of Scotland, after his short stay in Portugal, where he was persecuted and condemned for heresy by the Lisbon Inquisition, as well as that of Robert Reid Kalley, a Scottish doctor who was also persecuted for his proselytizing endeavours in Madeira, in mid-nineteenth century, as I believe they both contributed to enlighten many Portuguese regarding the tolerability of arbitrary powers, both ecclesiastic and civil.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"69 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The narrative is a Bildungsroman, as Getúlio – invisible since the beginning – discovers and ends up asserting his identity – and freedom, which costs him his life. Or: the Author informs that it is an aretê story. Our task is to understand, verify and explain the nobility, moderation and self-control of a rude, extremely violent henchman – and how this is explained in the socio-economic context of Brazilian colonization and domination.

The designation apostola apostolorum is literally found in Saint Thomas Aquinas. Pursuing a better knowledge of Mary Magdalene, we focus our analysis on chapter 20 of Super Evangelium S. Ioannis lectura, written by the Dominican Master. We follow John’s narrative through the pen of Saint Thomas and examine several scenes: the empty sepulchre, the run to Peter and John (and their run to the grave), the sadness, the dialogue with the angels and with the hypothetical gardener and, last, the mission assigned to her by Jesus Christ. We also explain Aquinas’ difficulties in connecting the biblical text with the biological status of woman in Aristotelian biology. Finally, we clarify why Aquinas states that the strength of Magdalene surpasses the strength of the disciples and presents her as a role model.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"115 31","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139133260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
