Neste artigo procuramos sistematizar algumas informações sobre as relações do poeta com personalidades portuguesas do seu tempo, como o Infante D. Pedro (Regente) e com o seu filho, o Condestável D. Pedro, e mostrar como foi reconhecida em Portugal a autoridade poética de Juan de Mena. Centraremos a nossa atenção particularmente na poesia do Cancioneiro Geral de Garcia de Resende (ed. 1516) e nas diferentes referências a Mena, quer através da evocação da sua poesia, da citação dos seus versos, e mesmo da simulação da sua voz poética.

This chapter explores the relationship between environmental conflicts and technical progress, trying to understand, in the case of large mines of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, in Alentejo, how emerging environmental problems conditioned the performance or led to the search for alternative technical solutions, taking as chronological limit for this observation the beginning of World War II. In the absence of the archives of the companies, the research was based on existing administrative documents in the state archives (mining engineers reports, the licensing of mining activities), on reports and documents published in specialized mining press, in particular, the Bulletin of the Ministry of Public Works, Trade and Industry, the Journal of Public Works, Trade and Industry (both in Portuguese), and finally in the local press. Despite that limitation, the information available shows that in global competition markets, the success of the British enterprise in Santo Domingo had the active search for new technical solutions for the creation and adaptation of existing knowledge to local problems in order to maximize the mineral resources available. The early development of the hydrometallurgical processes for the treatment of poor ores, named ‘natural cementation’, can be explained as the way these companies tried to solve problems of competitiveness, boosting economies of scale. Thus, they transferred the environmental costs previously limited to agriculture to more fragile social groups, the poor fishermen of Guadiana River and of Vila Real de Santo António. Therefore, the hydrometallurgy of pyrites was developed locally, pioneered in Santo Domingo that allowed the survival and expansion of the British company from the late 1870s, that is, at a time when most small mines shut since they were not able to compete globally. Through different consented and regulated processes (judicial), through conflict or parliamentary mediation, the State imposed exceptionally additional costs to companies, either for compensation, the imposing the application of remediation measures to reduce the environmental damage in some cases, thus contributing to derail some projects. These cases suggest that the interaction between local conflicts, corporate behavior and technological progress proves to be complex. This article aims to contribute to the debate on economic and social history between the environment and technological progress, arguing that the fixed costs and economic imponderable social risks were factors that encouraged the companies to search for new solutions and to introduce innovations since that would allow the expansion of their activity. In this process the companies sometimes faced environmental dilemmas and unforeseen costs with consequences on the economy of firms. The nature of the knowledge needed to address the environmental problems they created, however, is of a very different nature from that knowledge needed to face the environmental burdens that were inherent to the development of its activity.

Os museus exercem um papel fundamental na promoção do turismo e no desenvolvimento de áreas rurais e urbanas. Eles preservam a identidade cultural de uma sociedade e possibilitam aos mais jovens um contato com a cultura e história do passado. Os museus desempenham uma função crucial dentro do turismo cultural e são, em muitos casos, um motivo de atração para muitos turistas. É, muitas vezes, através dos museus que os visitantes ficam a conhecer os hábitos e costumes de uma certa sociedade. O presente artigo pretende analisar o contributo dos museus da cidade de Évora na promoção do destino. Para atingir o objetivo foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário aos visitantes dos museus e núcleos museológicos e uma entrevista aos responsáveis pelos referidos espaços.

Esta dissertação aborda a problemática dos acervos arquivísticos de casasmuseu em Portugal. Estas instituições são comummente associadas à perpetuação da memória de uma personalidade. São objetivos deste projeto a identificação dos arquivos, a recolha de informações sobre o tratamento arquivístico e sobre as funções que desempenham nas instituições. Para a consecução destes objetivos foi realizado um inquérito. A análise dos dados recolhidos revela uma realidade longe do desejável. Muitos acervos ainda não foram alvo de tratamento. Verificou-se que a utilização dos acervos nas tarefas museológicas é, em alguns casos, incipiente. Como resultado final deste trabalho, apresentamos um guia dos acervos à guarda das casas-museu em Portugal. Constitui, ainda, objeto deste projeto o arquivo da Casa dos Patudos - Museu de Alpiarça. É feita a apresentação desta instituição, dos contextos e produtores, bem uma análise do acervo arquivístico e do seu contributo para as atividades museológicas; ABSTRACT: Archives of house-museums. The Archive of the House of Patudos. This dissertation addresses the problematic of archives of house museums in Portugal. These institutions are commonly associated with the perpetuation of the memory of a personality. The objectives of this project are the identification of the archives, the gathering of information about the archival treatment and about the functions that they perform in the institutions. To the attainment of these objectives an inquiry was made. The analysis of the collected data reveals an undesirable reality. Many collections are still not the object of any treatment. It was verified that the use of collections in museological tasks is, in some cases, incipient. As a final result of this thesis, we have presented a guide of the collections in the care of house museums in Portugal. Another objective of this project is the archive of House of Patudos – Museum of Alpiarça. It is made the presentation of this institution, the context and the producers, as well as an analysis of the archive and its functions of the archive in the performance of the museological activities.
