During the construction of the contemporary Portuguese state, the growing predominance of executive power was a decisive factor in the transition from revolution to stabilization. Within this process, the monarchy evolved towards a parliamentary government, which became the only feasible model. For the republic however, there were alternatives: presidentialism, parliamentarism borrowed from monarchy, and various combinations thereof. Like other European countries, Portugal built its contemporary state on the foundations of the monarchy, successively establishing the models most appropriate for the time and most acceptable to political doctrines: first, the revolutionary model which produced an Assembly monarchy, then the parliamentary government, which adapted monarchy to constitutionalism.The republic, which only came into being in the twentieth century, had to face the crisis of parliamentarianism. Through devising alternatives, it became a testing ground for the new political culture and its implementation, just as the monarchy had been in the nineteenth century.KEYWORDS. Portugal, constitutional history, monarchy, republic, executive power.","PeriodicalId":42713,"journal":{"name":"PORTUGUESE STUDIES","volume":"33 1","pages":"159 - 184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49038213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vita was composed by another French immigrant clergyman, Bernard, archdeacon of Braga. A primary aim of the medieval hagiographer was to construct an iconic portrait of human sanctity and the image of saintly piety presented in the Vita Sancti Geraldi is firmly based in hagiographical convention. Yet Bernard was also able to individualize his account by including a wealth of historical detail, while at the same time revealing the sense of alienation both he and Gerald experienced as outsiders in a sometimes hostile land. These elements are woven together to produce a vivid insight into a Portuguese society in the throes of fundamental cultural change.","PeriodicalId":42713,"journal":{"name":"PORTUGUESE STUDIES","volume":"31 1","pages":"153 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5699/portstudies.31.2.0153","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49235789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I hope to demonstrate that, for Freyre, hegemonic race relations, miscegenation, and a reactionary authoritarianism were bound up with one another and composed the matrix for what was essentially Brazilian. The analysis is drawn from a close study of Freyre’s published work and his unpublished correspondence.","PeriodicalId":42713,"journal":{"name":"PORTUGUESE STUDIES","volume":"27 1","pages":"19 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5699/PORTSTUDIES.27.1.0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44675323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several thousand migrants have been recruited by employment agencies to work in the regions' agricultural harvesting/food processing industries. This article outlines experiences of key migration players in the market towns of Dungannon and Portadown. Analysis shows the Portuguese worker has had significant impact in supplementing and segmenting the local labour market. Problems have emerged and communities have belatedly responded; some attempt has been made to integrate these workers more closely into work and social arenas. However, it is argued that this is a slow process and many Portuguese in Northern Ireland remain in a state of flux. A seguir à passagem do milénio, a emigração portuguesa viu surgir a Irlanda do Norte como um novo ponto focal de destino. Vários milhares de emigrantes foram recrutados, através de agências de emprego, para trabalhar na agro-indústria local, nomeadamente na apanha e processamento de produtos alimentares. Este artigo procura analisar o papel importante que estes fluxos migratórios tiveram em alguns mercados regionais, como Dungannon e Portadown. A análise efectuada mostra claramente que os trabalhadores portugueses tiveram um impacto significativo, quer no fortalecimento quer na segmentação do mercado local de trabalho, levando ao aparecimento de problemas, aos quais as comunidades locais responderam só tardiamente. Como resposta, foram feitas tentativas de integração destes trabalhadores, ao nível social e de emprego. Porém, constata-se que este é um processo moroso e que por isso muitos dos portugueses na Irlanda do Norte continuam numa situação de fluxo temporário.","PeriodicalId":42713,"journal":{"name":"PORTUGUESE STUDIES","volume":"26 1","pages":"10 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46925682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
