Der Widerstand gegen Literatur
Ist Literaturdidaktik nichts anderes als organisierter Widerstand gegen Literatur? Oder ist eine andere Didaktik der Literatur denkbar, die vom Widerstand der Literatur ausgeht? Nach landläufigem Urteil kommen didaktische Modelle ins Spiel, wenn es um die Einweisung von Literatur in den Bereich von Erziehung und Schule geht. Man legt fest, was an der Literatur warum und wie gelernt werden soll. Die lehrbar gemachte Literatur bringt deswegen einen…

Portugal's Quota-Parity Law
In August 2006, Portugal approved a new quota law, called the parity law. According to this, all candidate lists presented for local, parliamentary, and European elections must guarantee a minimum representation of 33 per cent for each sex. This article analyses the proximate causes that led to the adoption of gender quotas by the Portuguese Parliament. The simple answer is that the law's passage was a direct consequence of a draft piece of legis…
Involvement of the consumer voice
It is probably true to say that no two health-care decisions are the same. Every one of them will reflect the individual circumstances, opinion and knowledge of the potential recipient of the intervention – be it for treatment or prevention of disease – the health practitioners and, sometimes, other people as well, such as parents of a newborn baby. In order to arrive at a satisfactory and satisfying decision, good quality information based on th…
Referenda voting in Portugal, 1998
According to numerous recent cross‐national studies of public support for democracy, citizens of both well‐established and newer democracies continue to share a strong commitment to the ideals and principles of representative democracy. Paradoxically, however, these same citizens are increasingly ‘critical’ of and ‘dissatisfied’ with the performance of their national democratic institutions. One response has been to call for the ‘re‐invention of …
A convergence of cultures & technologies
Francis and Lewis quote from The Memoirs of Hector Berlioz on his horror in the dissecting room. 1 They surmise that this gruesome experience may have been responsible for his abandon
Political Parties, Cleavage Structures and Referendum Voting
On 8 November 1998, Portugal held its second democratic national referendum. Going against the EU-wide trend for meso-level actors to acquire increasing salience, Portuguese voters overwhelmingly rejected the proposed eight new administrative regions. Portugal thus remains one of the EU's most heavily centralized unitary states. The referendum results are analyzed with both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Using ecological analysis, the d…

The price of autonomy
The randomized controlled trial produces a clash of ethical principles with the need for informed consent (autonomy) in conflict with the principles of beneficence and justice. Informed consent is one of the major rate‐limiting factors of recruitment and this delays the discovery of life‐saving treatments indirectly. Whilst supporting the concept of non‐exploitation we wish to challenge the prevailing dogma by asking the awkward question ‘what is…
Workers’ Control and Changes in Political Culture
This article empirically tests three well-known hypotheses about the political effects of workplace democracy on workers. Specifically, it asks whether membership in worker controlled agrarian collectives in southern Portugal has had any long-term effects on its participants’ political culture. The results, based upon a comparison of baseline data collected in 1980 and a sample survey of 240 residents from the same county collected in 1994, sugge…
