Title: Between Latinité and Aliança Peninsular: Mediterranean thought in search of Renewal (Mezi Latinité a Aliança Peninsular) – pdf
Abstract: During the second part of the 19th century Iberism acquired importance both as intellectual movement and ideology. This or that form of peninsula integration occupied thinking of Iberian intellectuals at least since the end of reconquista. Spanish and Portuguese dynasties were traditionally intertwined by means of mutual marriages and when, in 1581, Portuguese dynastic crisis took place, peninsular/transatlantic union under the crown of Spanish Hapsburgs was introduced. After the restoration of independence (1640) national traditions and authenticity became favorite topic of conservative Portuguese ideologues (Miguelists, integralists) and symbol of Portuguese identity.
