Leiria: Município de Leiria, Museu de Leiria Authors: Sampaio, Maria da Luz Abstract: Plasticity - A History of Plastics in Portugal is more than an exhibition catalog: it records the research developed during the project “The Triumph of Bakelite: Contribution to the History of Plastics in Portugal,” coordinated by Elvira Callapez, financed by the Portuguese national science foundation (FCT) between 2016 and 2018. The work presents an interdisciplinary analysis and a synthesis about the theme of plastics combining different approaches. The texts are signed by a vast team of researchers and consultants who participated in the project and entrepreneurs of the sector. Among them are the specialists Elvira Callapez, Paulina Mata, Ana Maria Ramos and Teresa Salomé Mota. Together the essays allow us to learn about the hitherto untold history of plastics in Portugal, beginning with the success of Bakelite, and presenting various manufacturing processes, evolution and industrialization of polymers throughout the decades of the twentieth century. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/39035 Title: The Voice of the People? Political Participation before the Revolutions Authors: Miranda, Flávio Abstract: O livro The Voice of the People? Political Participation before the Revolutions, de Wim Blockmans, parte de uma premissa muito simples. Considerando que, nos últimos dois séculos, a Europa desenvolveu várias formas de representação política que deram origem aos sistemas de parlamentarismo democrático, o autor questiona de que forma os grupos sociais “burgueses e camponeses” participaram no fenómeno da medezeggenschap (participação política ou codecisão) na formação das sociedades, a todos os níveis possíveis — nacional, regional e local —, no espaço europeu, desde as suas primeiras manifestações visíveis, no século XII, até cerca de 1800. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
