Resumo: Aos 48 anos, qual é a relação entre a democracia portuguesa e a metanarrativa identitária nacional? O presente ensaio procura, a partir da análise de discursos e de uma ampla revisão bibliográfica, perceber quais as lógicas discursivas que dominam a narrativa identitária tal como ela é postulada pelas elites políticas democráticas. Neste sentido, identificamos três expedientes predominantes na forma como a identidade nacional tem sido pensada em democracia: reconstrução, oclusão e inserção. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10071/10576 Título próprio: A poetical critique of Aristotle: the role of cosmological poetry in Late-Renaissance Portugal Autoria: Carolino, L. M. Resumo: This paper focus on neo-Latin cosmological poetry authored by the Portuguese philosophers and physicians Francisco Sanches, Estêvão Rodrigues de Castro and Manuel Bocarro Francês. In Renaissance Europe, cosmological poetry was often perceived as a privileged means to discuss the constitution of the heaven, its structure and the interrelations of its parts. Yet, the Portuguese case presents what seems to be a particularity in European context. Aristotelian philosophical tradition was put into question all over Renaissance Europe, but in Portugal the first sharp and comprehensive criticism of Aristotelian natural philosophy emerged exclusively in poetical contours. It was due to Sanches, Rodrigues de Castro and Bocarro Francês, whose neo-Latin cosmological poems were influenced respectively by scepticism, Neo-Platonism, Lucretian atomism, and Stoic philosophy. This paper analyses these poems and interprets them as examples of Portuguese late-Renaissance philosophical poetry as well as intellectual ways of rising against the philosophical tradition and cultural hegemony put in place by Counter-Reformation movement. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10071/10555 Título próprio: A nacionalização da electricidade em Portugal Autoria: Madureira, N. L. Resumo: Este artigo mostra que a nacionalização da electricidade em Portugal ocorrida na transição para o regime democrático não representou uma rotura em relação ao regime ditatorial do Estado Novo. Três ideias, a de empresa única (1966-1974), de nacionalização técnica (1974-1975) e de nacionalização política (1975-1976) prolongaram na prática a estratégia de fusões de empresas de serviço público e de concentração de activos Municipais levadas a cabo desde os anos 1960. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10071/9957 Título próprio: The anxiety of abundance: William Stanley Jevons and coal scarcity in the nineteenth century Autoria: Madureira, N .L. Resumo: Right from the outset, the adoption of mechanical machinery, railways, steamships and long distance communications was accompanied by growing concerns about the possibility of running out of coal. This article examines three main issues: firstly, what triggered the scarcity fear, given that the historical period was one of rising prosperity with no foreseeable shortages in sight; secondly, what actually went wrong with the coal supply vision given so many of the forecasts associated with the scarcity thesis were not borne out by reality; and thirdly, by what means did the nineteenth century coal debate shape environmental thinking and provide crucial concepts that have persisted through to the present (the rebound effect, probable reserves and environmental limits to growth). A close look is taken of the work of William Stanley Jevons, whose ideas became a milestone in the debate on the depletion of natural resources. The overall conclusion points out that the looming uncertainty of the 1860s and 1870s paved the way for new probabilistic assessments of mineral patrimony.
