A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula
"A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.

Ricardo Jorge
Ricardo Jorge. Ciência, humanismo e modernidade, é uma obra que pretende caracterizar, sob o ponto de vista da história das ciências da saúde, um dos personagens mais relevantes da história da medicina e da saúde portuguesas. Ao avaliar o contributo de Ricardo de Almeida Jorge para o progresso da consciência social higienista, ressalva-se o papel de um paladino da ciência pasteuriana. Personagem de relevo na vida científica, sanitária e política, com perfil interventivo e apologético, dispersou-se por várias áreas do saber. Médico, cientista, higienista, climatologista, hidrologista, escritor e polemista, redigiu mais de três centenas de trabalhos, sendo que algumas das suas obras marcaram decisivamente os rumos da higiene e medicina social portuguesa. Ao evocarmos a memória do homem através da sua prosopografia, constrói-se o percurso de um cientista permeado pelos ventos da época em que viveu, mas onde ainda hoje afloram claros ecos de modernidade.
Democracy technologies in Europe - Online Participation, Deliberation and Voting
When technology meets political participation. More and more political professionals in Europe are trying to find ways to enhance the representativeness and effectiveness of democracy, so forms of participatory and deliberative democracy are on the rise. New tools have emerged to facilitate engagement, digitizing previously analogue processes and widening accessibility and scale. Initially, awareness of such technologies and methods was limited to a group of ‘participation enthusiasts’, but in recent years such applications have become common in many countries and cities. An increasing number of people working in politics are looking for, and implementing such solutions. As a result, a market for democracy technologies is taking shape in Europe. Based on a series of in-depth interviews with 53 politicians, experts and representatives of companies across Europe, this report presents conclusions on the state of democracy technologies in Europe.

Catholicism, Race and Empire
This monograph places the science and ideology of eugenics in early twentieth century Portugal in the context of manifestations in other countries in the same period. The author argues that three factors limited the impact of eugenics in Portugal: a low level of institutionalization, opposition from Catholics and the conservative nature of the Salazar regime. In Portugal the eugenic science and movement were confined to three expressions: individualized studies on mental health, often from a 'biotypological' perspective; a particular stance on racial miscegenation in the context of the substantial Portuguese colonial empire; and a diffuse model of social hygiene, maternity care and puericulture.
