The article focuses on citizens' participation in political activities and the new concept of citizenship. It also presents an overview of the papers related to changes in political participation that appear in the October 2005 issue of the "Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais." Some authors call new social movements as protest movements or democracy of manifestation. The social movements, the protests and the new possibilities to produce citizenship must be regarded as revelation of democratization of the societies. The protests and the claims are not pathological forms of shared politics, but expressive forms of accomplishment of citizenship in a democratic context. One of the papers focuses on neoliberal governance as another form of laissez faire capitalism. Another paper analyzes the new protest movements in France. It discusses the danger of the entrance of these movements into institutional party politics, which would affect the performance and activities of the political left in the country. Another paper examines the protest movements of secondary school students in Portugal since 1990.

The article presents an overview of the papers related to the role of women in colonial wars, which appear in the April 2004 issue of the "Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais." The papers were taken from the international meeting "The Women and the Colonial War," which was held at the University of Coimbra in Coimbra, Portugal during May 22-23, 2003. It was organized by the Center of Social Studies at the University of Coimbra in collaboration with the Center of Documentation. The paper "In Africa in the Feminine One: The Portuguese Women and the Colonial War," by Margarida Calafate Ribeiro analyzes in greater detail the unprecedented situation of the Portuguese women who accompanied their husbands on military missions to Africa during the period of the Colonial War. The paper "Women and the Colonial War: An Excessively Loud Silence," by Manuela Cruzeiro exposes different layers of silence that have enabled the Portuguese society to evade the inevitable encounter with the greatest tragedy of its contemporary history: the Colonial War.

Understanding institutional change remains a major theme on the agenda of social sciences. Thus, this working paper analyzes, through a comparative perspective, the different institutional transformations of the Portuguese and Spanish intelligence systems after the transifition to democracy and after 9/11. We applied an institutional change model centered on the relationship between ideas and interests, and used process tracing as a technique in order to identify the key drivers and inhibitors that explain the different institutional paths observed in the intelligence systems of both countries after two critical junctures.

REGIONAL INNOVATION PROPENSITY IN PORTUGAL: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON PATENT DATA. This paper analyses the regional distribution of patents in Portugal in the period 1980-2008 using information that was recently made available. Lisbon leads the national ranking by far. However, towards the end of the period under analysis, a few regions around Oporto have increased their share in the total number of patents. This has taken place alongside an increase in the total number of patent applications from 2000 onwards, after two decades in which that number remained basically stagnant in Portugal. The main protagonists of this recent increase have been universities and other academic institutions. The paper concludes by stressing that the lack of growth in patent applications by the business sector is a cause for concern, given the gap that still separates Portugal from the countries that top the international patent rankings.

This paper is based upon the hypothesis that we are always between languages-cultures, even when we speak only one language. It aims at studying intercultural relations and the effects of strangeness, in narratives of some Brazilians, participating in this research, about their experiences in Portugal. For this paper, four narratives have been recorded and transcribed. The theoretical perspective is situated in the space – in conflict and tense – between discourse theories, Lacanian psychoanalysis and derridean deconstruction. From the analysis it is possible to notice that the supposed mother tongue is also a foreign language, strange in its familiarity, provoking suffering and enjoyment at the same time. Reflecting about this seems very important to understand oneself and the other, language and culture, responsible for our subjectivity and, therefore, our identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Talking about the didactics of Brazilian Portuguese as foreign language is not a matter exhaustible just considering the didactics of a foreign language as a series of methodologies devoted to the teaching of specific linguistic and cultural elements, since when we think of the language used in Brazil, we are immediately led to consider the sociolinguistic aspects of this variety of the Portuguese language. In the first stage of learning, the students meet the Portuguese language only as a foreign language which has its geographical placement on the world map; then the students discover that there are differences between the Portuguese of Portugal, the Portuguese of Brazil and the Portuguese spoken in Africa, relating to concepts such as linguistic norms, linguistic registers, variation, and variability. The discourse becomes even more intricate when the difference that exists in Brazilian Portuguese between written and spoken language is presented, and it is necessary to consider that even the most dedicated students show a difficulty in getting around the variational intricacies of Brazilian Portuguese - there not being many occasions in class to reflect on this subject. This issue represents a linguistic, but also a social and cultural fact that learner may meet in his/her experience with this variety of Portuguese. Targeting the development of language skills and knowledge by an independent learner, it is desirable the development of a teaching practice based on communication and interaction that enjoys the potentialities of translation (although it does not directly develop any of the language skills, i.e., reading, writing, speaking and listening) together with credible data that can propose to the learner more verisimilar fictional situations in relation to the linguistic reality of Brazil.

Based on the Theories of Nuclear Concepts and Threshold Concepts, this paper aims at presenting the results of the cognitive structure of Portuguese students in years 9 (14-15 year-olds) and 12 (17-18 year-olds), concerning the notion of Probability. After having been taught the subject, 344 students were inquired in a first moment, and 325 in a second one. The Pathfinder Associative Networks (PFNETs) thus obtained led to identify the most relevant concepts in the students' conceptual framework, their respective organization and the possible relationship between the Theories of Nuclear Concepts and Threshold Concepts. The results show that both theories are useful tools to organize the teaching practice and a valuable and effective pedagogical framework, which should be taken into account in the teaching and learning processes of Probability.

Internationalization, anchored in the idea of competitiveness in a global knowl - edge-based economy is one of the driving forces of the higher education reforms in Europe. At a time of economic crisis, internationalization is fundamental to attracting students and promoting the institution on a global scale. For Portugal, the 'Lusophone space' emerges as a preferred market, legitimized by political, economic and cultural rationales linking the ideas of 'lusophony' and education. In this paper I critically examine how the Portuguese press (comparing the weekly newspapers 'Expresso' and 'Sol') reconstruct these discourses on lusophony and internationalization.

This paper analyzes the fertility trends based on a spatial approach. The application of the Moran's Index revealed the presence of a spatial dependence phenomenon, i. e. an auto-correlation inherent to the heterogeneous behavior of fertility throughout the Portuguese territory. Given the changing pattern, a bivariate analysis was made to identify the socio-economic factors that might be associated with it. Through the use of a regression model it was possible to find that the factors explaining the evolution of fertility have changed over time, reflecting the cultural, social, and economic transformations of the Portuguese society.

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a parent training program, Grupo Laços de Inclusão (Bonds of Inclusion Group), implemented in an association of inclusive art. In this study participated 11 parents (three fathers and eight mothers) of children/youngsters (nine with special needs and two without disabilities) attending an inclusive dance group in Madeira Island (Portugal). It was carried out a pre-test and a post-test evaluation. The results show a decrease in the parents' perceptions of global stress, demand associated with the interaction with the child, and parents' health that could interfere with the relationship with the children. Despite the promising results, we present some reflections and limitations to take into consideration in future parent education interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
