Slander, Ideological Differences, Or Academic Debate? the “Verão Quente” of 2012 and the State of Portuguese Historiography
Slander, Ideological Differences, or Academic Debate? The “Verão Quente” of 2012 and the State of Portuguese Historiography Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses1 Over the course of the summer of 2012 the Portuguese historical profession suffered a major blow to its image and reputation. Due initially to the efforts of a single colleague, the gloves came off within the Portuguese academy, with old battles being fought anew, and with veterans and newcomers alike joining in what at times became an unseemly war of words. Week after week, in the pages of the daily newspaper Público, historians—some known to the general public, others less so—argued about the relative merits of one work in particular, the state of historical writing in Portugal in general, and the links between history, ideology, and the political commentary on current events that so many Portuguese academics, historians included, engage in. This should not have been a problem, and indeed some valid points were made along the way; but they were made in the context of a discussion initiated by slander, or something very close to slander, and which was shaped by political passions at a particularly difficult and sensitive time in recent Portuguese life, when the country is gripped by apprehension over the effects of prolonged austerity. As a result, the overall value of the incident as a whole was negligible, and it certainly did not amount to a badly needed debate over how differing visions of the past can coexist in present-day Portugal. This article attempts to chronicle the dispute, setting it into its wider context for the benefit of readers outside Portugal.

Making the ‘New Lourinhã, a European Lourinhã’: Democracy, Civic Engagement, and the Urban Development of Lourinhã, Portugal, since 1966 Raphael Costa A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2014 © Raphael Costa, 2014 Abstract Since 1966, Lourinhã’s urban landscape has transformed as Portugal democratized. From a rural town with little infrastructure and few institutions in 1966, Lourinhã emerged by 2001 as an ostensibly modern European town. This work highlights key areas of economic and urban development and argues that Lourinhã’s political culture became more institutionalized leaving less room for, and withering expectation of, citizen participation in local development as Portugal transitioned from dictatorship to democracy. This dissertation examines Portugal’s transition from the Estado Novo dictatorship (1933-1974) to European social democracy by focusing on Lourinhã’s – a town of 22,000 people, north of Lisbon – urbanization since 1966. Lourinhã’s urbanization involved, and indeed required, a shift in its institutional and political culture. In the 1960s and 1970s people were expected to participate in development at a cultural, political and financial level, acting as substitutes for non-existent state mechanisms of development. However, by the late 1980s, the momentum had shifted as regional, national, and European institutions participated in developmental programs, marking a dramatic change in how citizens engaged with the state and the Portuguese nation. From this shift has emerged a debate about the nature of Portugal’s transition to democracy. With the Carnation Revolution of 1974 – the military coup that toppled the Estado Novo – at the center of analysis, academics and pundits ask whether that event represented “evolution or revolution” for Portugal.

Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Date: November 9, 2017 Signed: 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 3 I am grateful to Dr. Julia Ng, who walked me through this project particularly during the initial stages, and then to Dr. Ros Gray who also guided me to completion with insight. I am most indebted to my loVe, Stéphane Blumer for his patience and graciousness in assisting and encouraging me throughout the course of this research. 3 ABSTRACT 4 This inVestigation analyses the relations uniting the long endurance of the Salazarist dictatorship in Portugal and the political processes of its cryptic Violence. Departing from the differentiation between different types of Violence, this thesis shows that structural Violence was used intentionally by the regime within the limits of a spectrum of Visibility, in an effort to create its own normalisation. This research examines the mechanism and manifestation of both direct and structural Violence through a study of different filmic data. Film serVed as key propaganda medium for the regime, holding together the concealment of direct Violence and generating structural Violence. Undermining this authoritarian gesture, this enquiry further explores the deVice of Visibility, intrinsic to filmic material, which challenges the Portuguese regime's politics of self-censorship.

The PIDE Between Memory and History
The PIDE Between Memory and History: Revolutionary Tradition, Historiography, and the Missing Dimension in the Relation Between Society and Salazar’s Political Police Duncan Simpson1 Abstract The recent historiography of twentieth-century dictatorships has been marked by the innovative exploration of the relations between ordinary citizens and the political police, uncovering systems of social practices characterized by ambiguity, accommodation, and opportunism—all of which contributed to the perpetuation of the dictatorial order. By contrast, the historiography of Salazar’s political police (PIDE) has continued to focus on its modalities of repression and the small minority of oppositionists at which these were directed. This article seeks to understand why. It argues that the historiography of the PIDE has not only become embroiled in memory politics, but is also actively involved in upholding a certain social memory of the PIDE. Renovating the study of the PIDE implies releasing the historiography from its current memorializing inflection and opening up the academic field to new research objects. Keywords New State, Political police, PIDE, Memory, Historiography. Resumo A recente historiografia internacional dedicada ao estudo das ditaduras do século XX tem adoptado uma perspectiva inovadora centrada nas relações entre os cidadãos comuns e as polícias políticas, tendo vindo a revelar um conjunto de práticas sociais caracterizadas pela ambiguidade, acomodação e oportunismo—as quais contribuíram significativamente para a perpetuação destes regimes. Porém, os estudos sobre a polícia política salazarista (PIDE) permanecem centrados nas suas modalidades de repressão e na minoria de oposicionistas a que estas se dirigiam. Este artigo argumenta que tal acontece porque esta historiografia permanece enredada em políticas de memória e sustenta uma certa memória social da PIDE.

Approaching the PIDE 'From Below': Petitions, Spontaneous Applications and Denunciation Letters to Salazar's Secret Police
Contemporary European History (2021), 30, 398–413 doi:10.1017/S0960777320000612 ARTICLE Approaching the PIDE ‘From Below’: Petitions, Spontaneous Applications and Denunciation Letters to Salazar’s Secret Police in 1964 Duncan Simpson Instituto de Ciências Sociais (ICS) da Universidade de Lisboa, Av. Professor Aníbal de Bettencourt 9, Lisbon 1600-189, Portugal. [email protected] Under the Salazar regime, many Portuguese citizens spontaneously interacted with the secret police (PIDE), sending it letters of denunciation, prospective applications and petitions. The historians of the Estado Novo, by reducing the nature of the relations between the PIDE and society to its mechanisms of top-down repression, have overlooked the significance of the phenomenon. Drawing on the inputs of the international bibliography on accusatory practices and ‘everyday life’ under dictatorship, this article looks at the PIDE through the subjective perspectives of the individual citizens who approached it ‘from below’, thereby nuancing and complementing the established narrative of violence and repression. It focuses on the instrumentalisation of the PIDE by ordinary citizens as: an influential sponsor; an appro- priable device of coercion; an instrument of private conflict resolution; a platform for collaborative inter- action with the regime; an economic opportunity. The article also puts forward an interpretation of these ‘everyday’ interactions as part of a broader system of governance used by the authorities of the New State. Introduction On 24 August 1964 Sub-inspector António Augusto Teodósio, of the Salazarist secret police (Polícia Internacional e de Defesa do Estado; PIDE), sent his superiors in Lisbon a report on the social and political situation in Guarda, a medium-sized town in the north of Portugal.

This seaside resort was one of the places chosen by the Salazar regime to receive refugees on a temporary basis, while they were waiting to embark to other countries or continents. Drawing on historical documentation, literary works and memoirs, this study identifies and maps out the places inhabited and frequented by these refugees during their stay in the city. The aim is to connect the intangible values of European history with the history of the city and its civic cul- ture.

It is a product of the age of nationalism. But this nineteenth-century thinking is of little use in the twenty-first century, our age of heightened worldwide mobility. How can we think about the relations between people in ways that are less detrimental – and intellectually more consistent – than the ‘lies’ (sensu Appiah) we’ve told ourselves about race, ethnicity, religion, cultural history, and collective identity? And how can Memory Studies help us address questions of living-together in increasingly diverse societies? Meeting this ‘transcultural challenge’, I argue that thinking about relationality, indebtedness, and responsible inheritance may be useful ways of understanding memory in an age of mobility. No Bio-note: Astrid Erll is Professor of Anglophone Literatures and Cultures at Goethe-University Frankfurt. She has worked on German, British, South Asian, American, and South African literatures and media cultures.
