Despite the numerous studies of the politics, economy, culture, and society of the Estado Novo, the relations established between publishers, authors, and governmental institutions and their contribution to the making of the literary canon are still marginal subjects of analysis. Based on the systems theories developed by Bourdieu, Dubois and Even-Zohar, this study focuses on the cultural production produced during the Estado Novo (1933-1974) and after the Revolution (1974-2004), within their political, economic and social framework. The chapters on José Saramago and José Luís Peixoto show them as examples of literary consecration that confirm the systemic relations in the Portuguese literary field. This research makes use of a survey on habits of purchase of Portuguese fiction, interviews with publishers, original statistical analyses, and takes a new approach to the study of Portuguese literature.

Why did migrants from southern Portugal choose Argentina instead of following the traditional path to Brazil? Starting with this question, this book explores how, at the turn of the twentieth century, rural Europeans developed distinctive circuits of transatlantic labor migration linked to diverse immigrant communities in the Americas. It looks at transoceanic moves in the larger context of migration systems, examining their connections and the crucial role of social networks in migrants geographic mobility and adaptation. Combining regional and local perspectives on both sides of the Atlantic, Chains of Gold provides a vivid account of the trajectories of migrant men and women as they moved from rural Portugal to contrasting places of settlement in the Argentine pampas and Patagonia.
The project "Ja-Ling" ("Janua Linguarum", "The Gateway to Languages" following the title of a work by Comenius) aims at more widespread dissemination and curricular insertion of activities promoting linguistic and cultural education in their diversity. The main objective is to create synergy between linguistic learning, within the framework of the teaching both of more languages and more diversified languages.
O exercício de atividade em Portugal por sociedades comerciais estrangeiras contribui enormemente para a riqueza nacional, mas implica também grandes riscos. É suficiente pensar no grande número de sociedades offshore que, de uma maneira ou outra, desenvolvem parte ou a totalidade da sua atividade em Portugal. O mesmo sucede com sociedades comerciais que exercem atividade em Portugal através da internet, ou que comercializam bens e serviços em Portugal, mesmo que a partir do estrangeiro. Estas sociedades estão obrigadas pelo art. 4o do Código das Sociedades Comerciais a constituir uma representação permanente em Portugal, caso exerçam ou se proponham exercer atividade em Portugal por mais de um ano. A presente obra aborda esta problemática, procedendo a uma aprofundada análise deste regime jurídico.

This volume looks into the ways Indian Ocean routes shaped the culture and contours of early modern India. IT shows how these and other historical processes saw India rebuilt and reshaped during late medieval times after a long age of relative ‘stagnation’, ‘isolation’ and ‘backwardness’.
