Resumo: Em tempo de celebração do centenário da Grande Guerra tentamos estabelecer relações que a contextualizam, explicando-a melhor como fenómeno social e internacional, porque este foi o primeiro conflito armado entre Estados que, pela sua complexidade, afectou todos os sectores da vida das populações.
Na compreensão da Grande Guerra como culminância de um tempo, ela foi o verdadeiro fim do século XIX e o doloroso começo do XX. E, se assim a admitirmos, temos de analisá-la como o fim do ciclo da Revolução Industrial, que dominou todo o século XIX. Um ciclo de intenso progresso técnico com reflexos consequentes no desenvolvimento fabril e num, até então, nunca visto e extraordinário fluxo mercantil.2017-01-01T00:00:00ZThe Treaty of Lisbon: changing perceptions through redenomination

Resumo: The European Union (EU) has been plagued by a democratic deficit (Meyer, 1999) and by the need to justify the European integration (Glencross, 2009). These authors, among others, have put the lack and/or the failure of political communication as central to the debate. The 2004 Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe (TCE) initiated a period of great changes in the integration project since it was an important step in formalizing the conceptual entity that is the EU. The unsuccessful task of explaining and (in)forming citizens on the notion of a constitutional treaty is reflected in the increasing fears among several of its member states regarding the ensuing loss of political power, and consequently, even greater loss of national sovereignty.2017-01-01T00:00:00ZMediterranean migration and the language of crisis: an Italian case study

Resumo: Despite divergence in policy response, EU Member States seems to agree that the migratory
inflow they are currently experiencing is ‘a crisis’ of unprecedented scale (Pallister-Wilkins, 2016). Italy is among the EU Member States most focused on framing the issue in terms of ‘crisis’. This vocabulary did not occur randomly, but it is the outcome of a political process aimed at pursuing the domestic and foreign policy goals of the Italian government (Campesi, 2011). For example, reference to a ‘crisis’ can be seen as a way to reassure the Italian public that the migratory inflow is only temporary and will not restructure the Italian social fabric. Further, the need for ‘emergency’ public spending to face the‘crisis’ can help Italy in justifying a not-so-righteous fiscal policy (Campesi, 2011).2017-01-01T00:00:00ZThe distributed performance of artefactual representation by mobile video in Brazil

Resumo: During 2013, between June 18 and September 7, the demonstrations in Brazil, (nicknamed June Journeys), comprised successive massive street demonstrations across the country. Their immediate cause is usually taken to be the increased cost of public transportation fares. As the usually harsh repression of street demonstrations by military police spilled over some journalists, the protests of Movimento Passe Livre (Free Pass Movement), originally mobilized through cyber-activist networks gained the massive visibility and sparkled manifestations on a wide range of issues. State’s response to protests was marked by police abuse (Amnesty International, 2014). Notwithstanding this, police repression backfired: at its peak, millions of Brazilians were out in the streets demonstrating dissent on a wide range of issues. The abuses by the security forces spanned from the unnecessary extreme use of force – indiscriminate usage of rubber bullets and tear gas, arbitrary
arrests of peaceful protesters (Amnesty International, 2014) to press releasing of ungrounded allegations of vandalism.2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
