The magazines of the 20 th century Luís Andrade Considering the central role played by magazines in the cultural transformations and the creation of doctrinarian and civic movements, between the late 19 th century and the late 20 th century, we attempt to characterize this type of press, from the distinctive features which enabled it to gather, following different purposes and modalities, both thought and actuality.

En este sentido, su analisis comienza matizando que la migracion no es un fenomeno neutro de genero y, por consiguiente, que el activismo de las “mujeres migrantes”, en la constelacion transnacional, existe a la par de la feminizacion de la migracion y de la precariedad. Centrado en el caso de las trabajadoras domesticas y de cuidados migrantes, este articulo revela: por un lado, la vulnerabilidad de estas mujeres recurriendo al concepto de “hiperprecariedad existencial”; y, por otro, la movilizacion de estas mujeres en ONGs y organizaciones comunitarias, en una intensa campana por el reconocimiento de derecho...

Social democracy based on welfare and the redistribution of social contributions is failing. The ... more Social democracy based on welfare and the redistribution of social contributions is failing. The accumulation of wealth and the increase in inequalities are the two faces of Janus that social democracy has not been able to contain over the recent decades. In this context, it matters to discuss John Rawls's influential difference principle. According to the maximin criterion put forth by Rawls, it does not suffice that no one becomes worse off; those who are worse off must also become better off than they are. Here, we note that the existence and growth of inequality find no opposition in the maximin rule. Despite appearances, strictly speaking it merely introduces a factor of social compensation, a sort of "assistencialism" to the victims of the greatest inequality. Even the most robust formulation of the principle of difference, according to which the greatest advantage to the less advantaged is indispensable, does not per se preclude an aggregate growth of inequalities. It seems clear that it was an egalitarian goal what Rawls had in mind in A Theory of Justice. Rawls's critical comments on welfare capitalism must indeed not be forgotten-especially in his further explanations about the application of the principles of justice in a property-owning democracy. Here, as in liberal socialism, the dispersion of property, capital and resources prevents economic and political powers from being concentrated into the hands of a minority. However, the egalitarian aim does not strictly follow from the difference principle as stated, whether taken literally as an application of the maximin rule or inferring from its strongest formulation. A reformulation that does justice to the egalitarian aim of the principle of difference is, however, possible: namely, a degrowthist reformulation, truly requiring a degrowth in accumulation and inequalities, making explicit a brake clause that hinders the aggregate growth of inequalities. Such a degrowthist conception of the difference principle may justify some concrete rules that are able to enforce the egalitarian commitments of social democracy.

Mas há um apenas em que eu me sinto verdadeiramente livre, um apenas em que julgo não serem efémeras as minhas ideias, os meus períodos, as minhas palavras-é neste. É n'A Batalha. Minha pena encontra novas expressões, novas arremetidas, novos entusiasmos. É n'A Batalha onde se pode ter a noção das duas grandes coisas que eu amo na vida, depois de me ter desiludido de muitas outras-o Futuro e a Liberdade. 1
