Caminhos da crítica textual Da filologia à interdisciplinaridade: o caso das edições dos Sermões de Padre António Vieira

The present paper discusses the problem of the plurality of the text, as a cultural object, and its implications for the textual criticism activity. Starting from the fact that the nature of the textual object, especially in the case of ancient texts and literary texts, requires the editor to call into play very diverse knowledge – among which stands out the linguistic knowledge, but also the knowledge of the work, its characteristics and context – we advocate that a «philological» approach, multi and interdisciplinary, of the text editing is still needed, desirably carried out by teams of experts in different scientific fields. We exemplify, among others,with the case of the editions of the Sermões, by Vieira.

Contribuições da Sociologia para a Análise sobre o Espaço

RESUMO: O espaço tem sido considerado como uma matéria-prima de interesse para uma pluralidade de ciências. A sua abordagem vai da Física à Geometria, da Economia à Sociologia e assume várias e diversas reflexões teóricas sobre as diferentes temáticas de que é detentor. Se nos primórdios da Sociologia não havia um interesse particular sobre o espaço e, em particular, sobre o fenómeno urbano e pelas suas reconfigurações resultantes da Revolução Industrial, não é menos verdade que a influência exercida hoje sobre a Sociologia e os sociólogos foi, e continua a ser exercida, por parte dos autores que estão na base do edifício da teoria sociológica. E essa influência foi a grande responsável pelo desenvolvimento dos saberes específicos de que são detentoras a Sociologia Espacial, Sociologia Urbana e a Sociologia Rural e a atual Sociologia do Território, que para além das teorias produzidas são ainda responsáveis pelos debates em torno de velhas e de novas questões que a Sociologia procura resolver. ABSTRACT: Space has been considered as a raw material of interest to a plurality of sciences. His approach goes from Physics to Geometry, from Economics to Sociology and assumes several and diverse theoretical reflections on the different themes of which he holds. If in the early days of Sociology there was no particular interest in space and in particular in the urban phenomenon and its reconfigurations resulting from the Industrial Revolution, it is no less true that the influence exerted today on sociology and sociologists was, and continues To be exercised, on the part of the authors who are at the base of the building of the sociological theory. And this influence was the great responsibility for the development of the specific knowledge that holds Space Sociology, Urban Sociology and Rural Sociology and the current Sociology of the Territory, which in addition to the theories produced are still responsible for the debates around old and New questions that Sociology seeks to solve.

Da dominação à cooperação: a paz perpétua e a luta eterna entre nações

O presente ensaio tem por objetivo a construção de uma linha de pensamento sobre as teorias e a realidade das Relações Internacionais baseada na pluralidade de valores e na justaposição de ideias que designam e afetam as relações entre os atores internacionais, assim como, entender os reflexos que estes fatores têm nos desfechos destas interações resultantes em cooperação e conflito. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica são visitados alguns pensamentos sobre a formação dos estados nacionais e sobre as interações destes, produzindo conceitos relativos à ordem e ao equilíbrio em uma sociedade internacional, e aos fatores que afetam e são variáveis a existência dos estados. A designação teórica da realidade internacional desprovida de prescrições ou distorções ideológicas edifica neste ensaio valiosas linhas de pensamento, que podem contribuir significativamente para o desenvolvimento de proposições mais fidedignas a realidade do que a anseios específicos no campo das Ciências Políticas e das Relações Internacionais. ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to construct of a way of thinking about the theories and the reality of International Relations based on the plurality of values and juxtaposition of ideas that mark and affect the relationships between international players. A further objective is understanding the influences of these factors in creating outcomes of cooperation or conflict within international interactions. Various thoughts and reflections on the formation of national states and their interactions have been examined by way of an intensive literature review, thus producing concepts concerning the order and equilibrium of an international society as well as the factors that affect and vary depending on the existence of states. Through the theoretical portrayal of the reality of international relations devoid of ideological prescriptions or distortions this study creates a number of lines of thinking, that could significantly contribute to the development of propositions more true to reality than specific aspirations within the field of Political Science and International Relations.

Les Femmes Fortes de la Scene Medievale : Martyres entre Ciel et Terre Etude comparative des heroines du theatre francais des XIVe-XVIe siecles

Le travail offre une vision d’ensemble des représentations du Moyen Âge tardif (XIVe-XVIe siècles), consacrées à des héroïnes féminines, en vue d’une étude de synthèse encore manquante sur le sujet. Le domaine culturel examiné est français, mais le panorama est élargi aux représentations provençales et toscanes quand on a de traces de représentation en France, même si le texte original est perdu. Les protagonistes des drames conservés sont des héroïnes de la foi : l’étude se focalise en particulier sur les drames qui mettent en scène des martyres. En outre, sont analysés d’un côté deux dialogues dramatiques latins de Hrotsvita (Xe siècle), qui constituent l’exemple le plus ancien d’un drame médiéval consacré à une sainte martyre, dans une perspective comparatiste qui prend aussi en compte la diachronie ; de l’autre côté, sont proposés des excursus sur le culte et l’iconographie ainsi qu’une comparaison avec les légendes hagiographiques. Le commentaire des textes du corpus révèle non seulement leurs qualités poétiques et leurs potentialités performatives, mais il présente aussi les constantes dramaturgiques qui les relient ainsi que les singularités qui les distinguent. Enfin, la comparaison avec deux exemples de drames européens de la même époque qui mettent en scène respectivement une héroïne historique et une figure légendaire, placées dans un horizon mondain et non saint, vient enrichir la lecture de l’héroïne martyre. La thèse se donne pour perspective de montrer que les problèmes posés par les textes (la stigmatisation du sujet féminin libre, la répression de la résistance au pouvoir, la contradiction entre un corps vulnérable et une parole puissante) sont d’un intérêt considérable non seulement pour le lecteur expert, mais aussi pour un spectateur et un metteur en scène potentiels, de sorte que se trouve justifiée la redécouverte de ces représentations médiévales par et sur les scènes d’aujourd’hui.

Rebooting the constitutional debate: deliberative constitutionalism in the European Union

The aim of my thesis is to investigate the possibility and necessity to rethink a constitutional framework and debate in a transnational polity such as the European Union. My effort focuses on a promising theory called deliberative constitutionalism, which carries on new insights on how democracy and constitutions relate each other. The EU is a unique political entity which poses unanswered questions about its political legitimacy and constitutional foundation, if a Constitution will ever be possible. Going beyond the classical conception of the national and sovereign ‘people’, we keep wondering how citizens may deliberate and discuss about their rights and political communities across borders, in what could be defined as a transnational civic society. The development of the latter brings with it necessary constitutional changes, if not an evolution of constitutionalism itself. Chapter 1 deals with defining the theoretical framework, which develops the distinctiveness of the deliberative constitutional paradigm not only with respect to other more 'classical' models of democracy, but also with respect to other deliberative models that have marked the constructivist debate. Chapter 2 presents a conceptual history of constituent power, mainly studying the evolution of the constitution-sovereignty-constituent power dialectic, up to contemporary theories that explain the negation, separation, union or plurality of a transnational constituent with respect to its national counterparts. Chapter 3 develops the discourse of constitutional pluralism, through its main claims and strands that especially pertain to Neil Walker's (2002, 2016) institutional and epistemic claims. Chapter 4 applies a deliberative constitutionalist framework to the case of the European Union. Through the exposition of DC normative tenets, a form of self-learning process is proposed that can reconcile the heterarchical arrangement of constitutional claims and the new demand for legitimacy, as well as the relationship between European peoples and European citizens.
