“…The concept of assistance is imbricated with the notions of beneficence (or benevolence), charity, and philanthropy. The notion of beneficence was used in discursive records of a religious nature with the meaning of an act of goodness, of doing good, generally attributed to God or as a manifestation of charity; it was subsequently appropriated by the liberal discourse, assuming a secular character and the beneficence being valued as a humanist act, generated by philanthropy [26,27]. The expression charity, as well as the benevolence variant, was used in Portugal, during Liberalism, as a synonym for social assistance, mainly of a public nature, as demonstrated by the designations of the political bodies responsible in this area, the General Council of Charity (1835), and the Directorate General of Health and Public Charity (1899) [27].…”

Social Representations of the Disadvantaged Childhood’s Asylum of Horta in the Press (Azores, Portugal): From the Constitutional Monarchy to the First Republic

The aim of this article is to understand the symbolic representations of the assistance strategies aimed at disadvantaged children, expressed in two newspapers published on the island of Faial, in the Azores, in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries (covering the time horizon between the end of the monarchic period and the implementation of the First Republic). The technique of documentary analysis and a subsequent qualitative thematic content analysis of childcare news collected in two local newspapers were used. The discursive records produced by the press on the assistance strategies value, on the one hand, an axiological dimension and forms of charitable intervention and, on the other hand, aggregate and reconcile the discourses and techniques inherent to charitable and philanthropic models. This mutual assimilation underlies the achievement of the same objective: The moralization and integration of disadvantaged invalid childhood and, above all, the protection of the existing social order. We conclude that, perhaps contrary to what would be expected, the charitable logic articulated in a concomitant way with the philanthropic logic survived, even with the stabilization of the republican period (result of a revolution that deposed the regime of the constitutional monarchy and implemented the republican regime in 1910 in Portugal, whose political elites mobilized an official discourse that advocated the separation between the State and Religion, assigning the State the function of social assistance for children and youth). This demonstrates a certain dissociation, as well as a relative autonomy of conceptions about child and youth care between republican political ideology and current social practices, at least in this specific context.

“…Nevertheless, decisions concerning these assets entailed broad consensus obtained in extended meetings (Neto, 2010). In the countryside, brotherhoods and fraternities were responsible for social and spiritual protection (Lousada, 1999) and also for schools, medical assistance and agricultural credit (Lopes, 2010).…”

“…At the same time, through successive administrative reforms, the autonomy of the rural populations was progressively subjugated to that of the central government (Oliveira, 1995), whilst common-pool resources were encroached upon by the expansion of private property resulting from population pressure and changes in livestock systems (Neto, 2010). The decline of the brotherhoods and fraternities from the late eighteenth century onwards was intensified by the government's oversight and property confiscation (Lopes, 2010).…”

“…In 1916 this trend gave rise to the League of Mutual-Aid Associations, a cooperative aimed at developing the pharmaceutical industry to provide for its members 13 . This model was inspired by the Caixa Económica de Angra do Heroísmo, a mutual-bank whose profits were invested in the brotherhood civil hospital 14 , a practice dating back to the medieval fraternities which sustained hospitals and insurance with the partners' contributions but also with the profits from their credit operations (Lopes, 2010).…”

Recibido: 1 de febrero de 2018 / Aceptado: 18 de mayo de 2018 Resumen. Este artículo analiza la emergencia del movimiento cooperativo en Portugal a fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX, enfocando el legado premoderno revelado en el origen social de sus promotores, así como en los valores morales y objetivos propuestos. Se basa en una revisión exhaustiva de los actos y estatutos fundacionales de las sociedades cooperativas y en la comparación entre estos últimos y las normas escritas de las instituciones premodernas para la acción colectiva: los regimientos de los gremios de oficios y las posturas municipales de las comunidades rurales. Los datos disponibles permiten sostener que las primeras cooperativas, después de las sociedades de ayuda mutua, fueron creadas principalmente por la comunidad artesanal, que utilizaba la cooperación para asegurar la continuidad de las antiguas prácticas. Las funciones cumplidas por los gremios artesanales, las hermandades, los comunes y otras instituciones premodernas fueron superadas por sus contrapartes modernas en un proceso de ajuste institucional al nuevo marco político y legal. De esta manera, se argumenta que, a pesar de la naturaleza diferente del movimiento de asociaciones voluntarias decimonónicas, la resiliencia del autogobierno, la mutualidad y el control social tiene que estar relacionada con la previa acción colectiva corporativa multisecular.

This article analyses the cooperative movement emergency in Portugal on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, focusing the pre-modern legacy revealed in their promoters' social origin, as well as in the moral values and purposed objectives. It is based on a comprehensive review of cooperative societies' foundation acts and statutes and in the comparison between these latter with the pre-modern institutions for collective action written normsthe craft guilds regimentos (regulations) and the rural communities posturas (municipal ordinances). The available data allows one to sustain that the earliest cooperatives, following mutual-aid societies, were mainly created by the craft community, which was making use of cooperation to assure the continuity of ancient practices. The functions fulfilled by the craft guilds, the brotherhoods, the commons and other pre-modern institutions were overtooked by their modern counterparts in a process of institutional adjustment to the new political and legal framework. In this way, is argued that, despite the different nature of nineteen century voluntary associations movement, the resilience _____________ 60 Dias Pereira, J.
