The volume features insights and contributions in different languages, with chapters in Spanish (12), English (4) and Portuguese (5).
Football and Fascism
Football and Fascism. The Politics of Popular Culture in Portugal tells the hidden history of football and discusses its political, social and cultural foundations, during the longest running authoritarian regime in Europe. Theoretically grounded on Bourdieu’s field theory, and using a multi-scalar methodology, this award-winning research explores the political tensions between the nationalization of sports envisaged by the Portuguese “New State” and the integration of national football in a globalized urban popular culture. Mobilizing unexplored archival sources, and a wide array of primary materials, this groundbreaking work offers new insight on the administrative structures of the ...
The First Portuguese Republic
The first Portuguese Republic stood between 1910 and 1926. A characteristic of the Republican period was the strong civil participation, particularly by the urban population. Freedom of press and of association became constitutional rights and incentivized a powerful and very diversified associative movement in which trade unions and friendly societies stood out in the political spectrum as they promoted popular education and culture. The time-span studied is characterized by Portugals colonial expansion in Africa, an important factor in Portugals involvement in the Great War. As changes in education, in the concept and structure of family and in the status of women linked with the new polit...
Empreitada de obras públicas
Nota prévia: justificação da escolha do tema À escolha do contrato de empreitada de obras públicas como base ou ponto de partida da nossa investigação presidiram as razões ou motivos que, em termos breves, passamos a expor. Em primeiro lugar, por ser um contrato umbilicalmente ligado a uma das actividades historicamente nucleares da Administração, independentemente da época e da concreta forma de Estado - a realização de infra?estruturas públicas. Em segundo lugar, por ser um contrato com uma força irradiante e atractiva: por ser modelar ao nível do regime, quer pela extensa disciplina jurídica de que é, em geral, objecto, quer por ter constituído não apenas a causa gené...

Manual de Direito Registral Imobiliário
O presente Manual constitui uma reformulação das antigas Noções de Direito Registral que nasceram para uso dos estudantes. E essa continua a ser a sua principal finalidade, ainda que, ao debater os aspetos teórico e prático de quase toda a matéria, também possa ter préstimo para quem careça de lidar com os problemas do Direito Registral Imobiliário, como especialmente os magistrados, conservadores, notários, advogados, solicitadores e demais juristas. Um outro propósito foi o de tentar promover e divulgar o atualmente «novo» e obrigatório Registo Predial, cuja importância social é notória e crescente, exigindo dos profissionais uma proficiente adaptação às novas regras, para que possam prestar um fiável serviço público, tornado indispensável para a vida económica, para as transações prediais, para o crédito hipotecário e, em especial, para a segurança do comércio jurídico imobiliário.
Economia da Natureza
"Economia da natureza", concepção segundo a qual existe uma ordem na natureza, foi um dos conceitos estruturantes do domínio da História Natural no pensamento das Luzes. Este livro examina o uso desse conceito por autores ilustrados portugueses e luso-americanos. O estudo da natureza foi pensado tanto para atender a finalidades religiosas (Teologia Natural) quanto para a busca do conhecimento das utilidades – sobretudo econômicas – que poderia oferecer ao homem. Na segunda metade do século XVIII, a História Natural foi concebida como saber estratégico pelo Estado português, que incentivou a pesquisa naturalística no sentido utilitário.
