Religious Diversity and Non-Religion Examined Within the Analytical Framework of a European History of Religion—Portugal as a Case Study
A large part of current sociological studies implicitly or explicitly assumes that religious diversity, non-religion, and secularisation are predominantly a question of European modernity. In a certain sense this assumption is correct, as these phenomena are growing in quantity, at least in Europe, and have become much more visible since the early 20th century. However, scholarly categories or models are always dependent on a particular discourse…
Uma cartografia intelectual e cultural da Europa em Fernando Pessoa
Até ao momento, o papel de Fernando Pessoa enquanto pensador europeu quase nunca foi abordado de uma forma detalhada. Isto diz respeito tanto à maneira como ele próprio olhou para a Europa do seu tempo, bem como a algumas noções suas que revelam uma atualidade surpreendente. Esta lacuna surpreende, uma vez que Pessoa foi sempre um atento observador da modernidade europeia. Embora bastante fragmentária, Pessoa esboçou a noção de um cosmopolitismo …
Vom bleibenden Recht der Antike in der künstlerischen Moderne Europas
Modernism in the early 20th century has usually been viewed as a radical break with the past and tradition. Nevertheless, there are a great deal of direct references to classical antiquity in many works of modernist artists. This apparent contradiction forces us to rethink the notion of a radical break between the new and the past. It is with this in mind that the present article focuses on one of the most exiting periods in European cultural his…

Os deuses são uma funcção do estylo
A mitologia clássica representou, e continua a representar, um elemento importante da história cultural da Europa. Em períodos diferentes e com funções diversas, os deuses reapareceram na literatura, na filosofia ou nas artes europeias, e contribuíram, assim, significativamente para a formação da moderna consciência europeia. A primeira parte deste artigo consiste numa observação breve de alguns dos momentos historicamente mais expressivos de rev…
Believers without Religion
By analysing the result of a survey conducted in 2018 in the most populated metropolis in Portugal, this study seeks to make a sociological characterisation of ‘believers without religion’ from a dual perspective: on one hand, their proximity to the non-believers groups regarding religious practices; on the other hand, their adjacency to Portuguese cultural Catholicism with respect to beliefs and attitudes. The growth of this population expresses…
Religious plurality within a catholic tradition
In the last few years, since Portugal has become home to a great number of immigrants, the religious situation has changed significantly in the urban centers of the country. This article sets out the initial findings of a project that is studying this new religious diversity in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. In this sense, the principal aim is to show the first broad outlines of the new religious plurality in Lisbon
Roman Catholicism and Religious Pluralities in Portuguese (Iberian) History
The religious history of Portugal is usually told as the history of a monolithic Catholic belief-system that excludes other religious options. Contrasting this tendency, there is also a political—anticlerical—construction that regards the Catholic tradition as the origin of economic, intellectual, or even ethical backwardness. Taken together, these presuppositions make it difficult to provide an impartial description of the religious situation in…
Miguel de Unamuno und Antero de Quental Iberische Religionskritik, einbrechende Moderne und die Tragik des Verlustes
In recent years the study of local religious histories, especially in Europe, has gained in prominence. Because of the encounters between different cultural traditions in the Middle Ages and the voyages of discovery, the religious history of the Iberian Peninsula became one of the most complex in Europe. This article focuses on one portion of this history around the turn of the 19th/20th century, and in particular on two attempts to blame the Cat…
