An interview with Portuguese sociologist Marinús Pires de Lima is presented. When asked about his choosing of sociology as career he refers to his studies in Paris, France, as well as the influence of French sociologist Alain Touraine. Topics discussed include his contribution to sociology of work, social conditions of Portugal during the regime of António de Oliveira Salazar, and Portuguese labor movement.

The rules for student assessment introduced in recent years by the Bologna Process in Portugal led to the gradual reintroduction of attendance evaluation, which increased the interest of its sociological study and raised the question of its classist nature. If both the relationships that social class, and the relationships that regular attendance to lectures establish with academic merit, are well known to sociologists, there is still poor understanding on the relationship between attendance and social class, as well as of the magnitude of the elasticity that the effects of attendance on academic merit have in specific social situations. This study suggests that the amplitude of positive effects brought about by stimulating attendance in Portuguese Higher Education and the social distinction of students are negatively correlated, contrarily to what one might anticipate.

This study compares the history of Journalism in Portugal and Brazil and discusses the journalist's professional education and the media labor market in the global society. The aim was to analyze the following issues: a) the changes undergone by Journalism from the 20th century to the 21st century; b) the influences of gender in the journalistic work; c) the positions occupied by women and men in different sectors of the press, i.e., in the different positions in the editorial office and positions of command. The adopted method was that of literature review. The current study found that the feminization in journalism increased after its professionalization process, which started in the last century, followed by the appearance of professional courses in Brazil and Portugal. The advent of technology led to changes in the editorial office, with new positions and vehicles, such as online journalism and Internet television. All these transformations are changing the journalist's professional profile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to redesign the borders and the overlaps between the secular and religious spheres of Portuguese society. In methodological terms, I propose an historical-sociological approach, comparing especially the reconfigurations of Portuguese Catholicism under different socio-cultural conditions during the 19th and 20th centuries. On the basis of this analysis, I revisit the dual perspective of being either religious or secular, and try to recognize the simultaneous existence and the link between the religious and secular spheres in a modern European society.

The supposedly neutral and exclusive discourses of the Portuguese courts, police forces and social security system on female prostitution reveal similar political and ideological substrata, based on patriarchal authority and models of «family» and «femininity» governed and sanctioned by the dominant social groups and institutions.

Unpublished in France for more than eighty years and published for the first time in Portuguese, this conference by Durkheim provides a synthesis of his argument in favor of a non-religious moral education. It's a work that reveals the normative dimension of the author's thought, which is central for the comprehension of his work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reflects sociologically about some characteristic dimensions of youth, taking into account, above all, some bibliographical research developed in Portugal and in Brazil, and the Weberian theoretical-methodological proposals. In a second moment, it will articulate the several senses of the school as an organization with young student's images built by the adult educational actors, in contrast with the images mobilized by the own youngsters, both in ideal terms and in terms of their concrete school experience. One of the results enhances the non-coincidence of representations built by the educational actors, appropriate with the several actors' differentiated feeling of belonging to the school organization.
