Full textAbstract:
Philip Brookes Mason (1842–1903) of Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, was a medical doctor, a keen naturalist and collector. He first devoted himself to the study of botany, later Lepidoptera, then conchology and finally Coleoptera. His private collections, however, were of a wider nature accumulated both from his own gatherings and from purchases. He was an important figure in the Burton-on-Trent Natural History and Archaeological Society and in national societies including the Entomological Society of London and the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland. He campaigned for a museum in Burton-on-Trent and his medical and altruistic achievements are also noteworthy. The current whereabouts of his collections are given in an appendix.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the main historical milestones in the description and study of ulcerative colitis from the time of Hippocrates to the present day. The first description of the morphological picture of non-specific ulcerative colitis (NUC) was presented by the Viennese pathologist Karl Rokitansky in 1842. The term "ulcerative colitis" was coined by S. Wilks in 1859. A detailed description of the disease was presented in 1875 by S. Wilks and W. Maxon. In an independent nosological form, NUC was isolated in 1888 by the English doctor White. Boas in 1903. For the first time, he presented the differential diagnosis of NUC and chronic dysentery. The term "non-specific ulcerative colitis" in Russia was first introduced by A.S. Kazachenko in a report at the XIII Congress of Russian Surgeons in 1913.

Full textAbstract:
The palace in Podhorce has been, and remains, the subject of many studies and articles, but not all aspects of the history of this residence have been studied. This paper presents the state of research on the history of the Podhorce palace in the years 1865-1939. Ownership of the palace by Princess Constance of Zamoyskich Sanguszko (1864-1946) and Stanislaw Eustachy Sanguszko (1842-1903) still awaits studying. For researchers of the mansion Podhorce history, the most difficult challenges are related to detailed examining of source documents presenting fortunes of the palace on a background of important historical events. In the years 1865-1939 breakthrough moments for the Podhorce mansion were: World War I, the war of 1920, the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Vienna, the outbreak of World War II. However the administration and care of goods in Podhorce is the issue least studied.

Full textAbstract:
Los monumentos megalíticos de Antequera (Málaga) han sido objeto de numerosas excavaciones arqueológicas, trabajos de restauración y proyectos de “urbanización” desde que entre 1842 y 1847 se iniciara la excavación de Menga y en 1903 y 1904 la exploración de Viera y El Romeral. El objetivo principal de estas intervenciones ha sido ampliar el conocimiento sobre las construcciones prehistóricas, mejorar su estado de conservación y facilitar su acceso al público. Sin embargo, muchas de ellas han tenido consecuencias negativas para la conservación y el conocimiento científico de los monumentos. Este artículo valora críticamente estas intervenciones a partir del análisis de la documentación disponible, consistente en proyectos previos, informes y memorias, planimetría, fotografías y publicaciones. Además, planteamos un conjunto de criterios que todas las actividades futuras realizadas en los megalitos antequeranos y sus alrededores deberían cumplir para evitar el deterioro y la pérdida de registro arqueológico.

The present study provides historical and new records of the introduced millipedes species in Brazil, Oxidus gracilis (C.L. Koch, 1847), Orthomorpha coarctata (Saussure, 1860) (Paradoxosomatidae), Prosopodesmus jacobsoni Silvestri, 1910 (Haplodesmidae), Trachyjulus calvus (Pocock, 1893a), Glyphiulus granulatus (Gervais, 1847) (Cambalopsidae), Trigoniulus corallinus (Gervais, 1842), Leptogoniulus sorornus (Butler, 1876), Epitrigoniulus cruentatus (Brölemann, 1903) (Pachybolidae), Paraspirobolus lucifugus (Gervais, 1837) (Spirobolellidae), Cylindroiulus britannicus (Verhoeff, 1891), Cylindroiulus truncorum (Silvestri, 1896) (Julidae), and Rhinotus purpureus (Pocock, 1894) (Siphonotidae). Among the 27 federative units in Brazil, 21 states present at least one record of a non-native species. Orthomorpha coarctata was the most widely distributed species, occurring in 15 states. Glyphiulus granulatus (state of Rio Grande do Sul), C. truncorum (São Paulo), and R. purpureus (Amazonas) were recorded from only one Brazilian state. The Southeast region concentrates most of the compiled records (42,6%) and richness by grid (5-7 species), mainly in urban areas of the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

Full textAbstract:
The fish fauna of urban streams is still poorly known, it difficult to assess the effects of urbanization expansion on fish species composition, for this reason the aim of this study was to provide a checklist of species that compose the ichthyofauna of six urban streams, tributaries to the Vermelho River, upper Paraguay River Basin, Rondonópolis, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The samples were performed with seine nets on a spatial gradient of 75 m, and with sieves for a period of 15 minutes in each site. A total of 56 species belonging to five orders, Characiformes, Siluriformes, Gymnotiformes, Cyprinodontiformes, and Perciformes, 21 families and 44 genera were sampled. The most common species were Astyanax asuncionensis Géry, 1972, Astyanax abramis (Jenyns, 1842), Odontostilbe pequira (Steindachner, 1882), Odontostilbe paraguayensis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, Characidium zebra Eigenmann, 1909 and Hypostomus sp. This checklist brings additional knowledge on fish that inhabit tributaries to the major rivers of northern Pantanal.

Full textAbstract:
The Australopacific Saprininae, containing twelve genera and forty species, are reviewed, illustrated and keyed to genera and species. Two new genera, Australopachylopusgen. n. (New Zealand, type species Saprinus lepidulus Broun, 1881) and Iridoprinusgen. n. (Australia, type species I. myrmecophilussp. n.) and four new species: Saprinus (Saprinus) rarussp. n. (Australia), Saprinus (Saprinus) chathamensissp. n. (Chatham Islands, New Zealand), Saprinus (Saprinus) pseudodetritussp. n. (Chatham Islands, New Zealand) and Saprinus (Saprinus) pacificussp. n. (Kiribati) are described. The Saprininae fauna of the Australopacific Region is a mixture of northern invaders that most likely arrived to the region in early Cenozoic by ‘island hopping’ from north (Hypocaccus, Hypocacculus, several Saprinus) and truly autochthonous taxa either with uncertain phylogenetic affinities (Iridoprinusgen. n., Saprinodes Lewis, 1891, Reichardtia Wenzel, 1944, Australopachylopusgen. n.), primitive Australopacific endemics (e.g. Tomogenius Marseul, 1862) or presumed relicts (several species of Saprinus Erichson, 1834). Several Saprininae taxa (Chalcionellus aeneovirens (Schmidt, 1890); (Gnathoncus rotundatus (Kugelann, 1792); G. communis (Marseul, 1862); Euspilotus (Neosaprinus) rubriculus (Marseul, 1855); Hypocaccus (Nessus) interpunctatus interpunctatus (Schmidt, 1885); Saprinus (S.) chalcites (Illiger, 1807) and Saprinus (S.) cupreus Erichson, 1834)) were introduced into the region with human activity. We report the first cases of myrmecophily (Iridoprinus myrmecophilusgen. et sp. n.) and termitophily (Saprinus rarussp. n.) in the Saprininae from the Australopacific Region. Lectotypes and paralectotypes of the following taxa are designated herein: Saprinus amethystinus Lewis, 1900, Saprinus apricarius Erichson, 1834, Saprinus artensis Marseul, 1862, Saprinus auricollis Marseul, 1855, Saprinus australasiae Blackburn, 1903, Saprinus bistrigifrons Marseul, 1855, Saprinus certus Lewis, 1888, Saprinus communis Marseul, 1862, Saprinus cupreus Erichson, 1834, Saprinus cyanellus Marseul, 1855, Hister cyaneus Fabricius, 1775, Saprinus dentipes Marseul, 1855, Saprinus desbordesi Auzat, 1916, Saprinus gayndahensis MacLeay, 1871, Saprinus hyla Marseul, 1864, Saprinus incisisternus Marseul, 1862, Saprinus incisus Erichson, 1842, Saprinus irinus Marseul, 1862, Saprinus laetus Erichson, 1834, Saprinus lepidulus Broun, 1881, Saprinus mastersii MacLeay, 1871, Saprinus nitiduloides Fairmaire, 1883, Saprinus pedator Sharp, 1876, Saprinus pseudocyaneus White, 1846, Saprinus rubriculus Marseul, 1855, Saprinus sinae Marseul, 1862, Saprinus tasmanicus Marseul, 1855, Saprinus tyrrhenus Blackburn, 1903, Saprinus varians Schmidt, 1890, Saprinus vernulus Blackburn, 1903, Saprinus viridanus Lewis, 1899, Saprinus viridipennis Lewis, 1901, and Saprinus westraliensis Blackburn, 1903. The synonymy of Saprinus tyrrhenus Blackburn, 1903 is revoked and the species is considered as valid (stat. n.). Seven new synonymies are proposed: Saprinus gayndahensis MacLeay, 1871 = Saprinus laetus Erichson, 1834 syn. n., Saprinus pseudocyaneus White, 1846 = Saprinus laetus Erichson, 1834 syn. n., Saprinus mastersii MacLeay, 1871 = Saprinus laetus Erichson, 1834 syn. n., Saprinus dentipes Marseul, 1855 = Hypocaccus (Baeckmanniolus) gaudens (J.L. LeConte, 1851) syn. n., Hypocaccus (Hypocaccus) vernulus (Blackburn, 1903) = Hypocaccus (Hypocaccus) sinae (Marseul, 1862) syn. n., Saprinus (Saprinus) lindrothi Dahlgren, 1968 = Saprinus (Saprinus) prasinus Erichson, 1834 syn. n., and Saprinus (Saprinus) certus Lewis, 1888 = Saprinus (Saprinus) frontistrius Marseul, 1855 syn. n. The following new records are: Euspilotus (Neosaprinus) rubriculus (Marseul, 1855) (= Saprinus gnathoncoides Bickhardt, 1909) (Australia), Saprinus (Saprinus) laetus Erichson, 1834 (Lord Howe Island) and Saprinus (Saprinus) cyaneus cyaneus (Fabricius, 1775) (Lord Howe Island and Fiji).

Full textAbstract:
Though sea stars of the genus Henricia Gray, 1840 are widely used in biological studies, their species diversity in the Arctic is poorly understood. We conducted a taxonomic revision of the genus Henricia from the White Sea and examined 381 specimens of Henricia sea stars deposited in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg), the type collection founded by A.M. Djakonov, and our own collection. Following the 1987 study by F.J. Madsen and the 1950 study by A.M. Djakonov, we identified six species in the White Sea: Henricia eschrichti (J. Müller and Troschel, 1842), Henricia perforata (O.F. Müller, 1776), Henricia scabrior (Michailovskij, 1903), Henricia solida Djakonov, 1950, Henricia sanguinolenta (O.F. Müller, 1776), and Henricia pertusa (O.F. Müller, 1776). Updated descriptions, identification keys, and distribution data of these species are provided. Statistical analysis based on the set of individual characters confirmed the validity of the species H. scabrior. Synonymy of Henricia species according to the 1950 study by A.M. Djakonov and the 1987 study by F.J. Madsen is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
L’intérêt pour le pragmatisme américain marque, entre autres, le paysage intellectuel français, notamment à la fin du XIXᵉ et au début du XXᵉ siècle. Ceci nous amène à nous interroger sur la réception française de cette philosophie américaine, ainsi que sur les moments marquants qui permettent de découvrir et de comprendre l’histoire même du pragmatisme en terre française. C’est cette tâche que nous nous efforçons d’effectuer dans notre étude. À travers l’examen du pragmatisme, particulièrement celui de William James dans ses rapports avec Charles Renouvier, l’un des philosophes français qui a marqué son époque. Par son combat intellectuel contre toute forme d’absolu, sa reconnaissance de l’expérience (ou phénomène) et sa thèse fondamentale de la liberté, nous pouvons comprendre sa philosophie néocritique et les raisons pour lesquelles Renouvier a influencé son allié intellectuel, James, et l’a également mis sur le chemin, lui permettant de construire « une pensée américaine ». Notre analyse philosophique de la réception française du pragmatisme permettra ainsi de découvrir le rôle majeur et la contribution essentielle de Renouvier dans l’histoire de cette philosophie américaine, en l’occurrence celle de James, dont l’œuvre pragmatiste doit beaucoup au philosophe français. Sa correspondance (1868-1899) avec James, ses traductions françaises des premiers articles de ce penseur, ainsi que leur publication dans sa revue ̶ La Critique philosophique ̶ constituent un « moment » marquant, qui redéfinit et met en valeur la figure majeure de Renouvier, ses affinités intellectuelles avec James et l’influence qu’il a exercée dans l’œuvre philosophique de l’auteur américain. L’impact de Renouvier sur James se fait ressentir dès les premiers articles de ce dernier et s’étend jusque dans ses ouvrages posthumes : la thèse fondamentale de la liberté que Renouvier avait énoncée dans ses Essais de critique générale se retrouve ̶ par ses implications et ses conséquences ̶ sous diverses formes, dans la philosophie de l’auteur du pragmatisme. Avec une originalité remarquable, James a su adapter cette philosophie, dans un contexte américain, en lui donnant une réelle dimension pragmatique, qui cadre avec ses aspirations philosophiques et intellectuellesInterest in American pragmatism characterizes among other things the French intellectual landscape, in particular at the turn of the 20th century. This leads us to inquire into the French reception of what was originally an American currant of thought as well as its significant stages of development, making it possible to follow and understand the actual history of pragmatism in France. Such is the aim of this study: an examination of pragmatism, with particular emphasis on William James and his interactions with Charles Renouvier, who was one of the most influential French philosophers of his time. By focusing on his intellectual battle against any form of the absolute, his recognition of experience (or phenomena) and his fundamental thesis on freedom, we can grasp his neo-critical philosophy and the reasons for which he influenced his intellectual ally, James, and opened the way, enabling him to elaborate an American philosophical doctrine. Our philosophical analysis of the French reception of pragmatism thus makes it possible to bring out the major role and the essential contribution of Renouvier with regard to the historical development of American philosophy, namely that of James, whose pragmatist endeavor owes a lot to his French counterpart. Renouvier’s correspondence with James, his translations of the latter’s early articles as well as their publication in his journal, La Critique philosophique, represent a significant “moment”, which redefines and reveals Renouvier as a major figure, his intellectual affinities with James and the influence he exerted on the philosophical work of the American author. Renouvier’s impact on James can be perceived already in the early articles of the latter and extend up until his final texts: the fundamental thesis of freedom that Renouvier had formulated in his Essais de critique générale can be traced ̶ through its implications and consequences ̶ under various forms in the philosophy of the author of pragmatism. James was able to adapt this philosophy with a remarkable originality within the context of American thought, bestowing on it a truly pragmatist dimension, in accordance with its philosophical and intellectual aspirations

Full textAbstract:
The Maclagan Manuscripts (1892–1903) are derived from transcriptions of an extensive range of oral traditional narratives collected from a large number of named loci throughout the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, but principally from Argyllshire and the Inner Hebrides. They are named after Dr R. C. Maclagan (1839– 1919), an Edinburgh doctor, who began the collection at the instigation of the British Folklore Society and continued to supervise the collectors’ work till its completion. From the multifarious number of subjects included in the manuscripts, the chosen topic of the thesis was selected for detailed research and examination because of the recorded accounts of diseases, illnesses and treatments experienced by patients and their families within the framework of traditional healing beliefs and practices derived from a distinctive Celtic ethnographic culture. The main objectives within the selected methodology of the thesis were, firstly, to present a comprehensive description of the nature of holistic beliefs and practices associated with healing named diseases; secondly, to interpret the named diseases and the likelihood of success or failure of treatment in relation to the presumed underlying causation. Finally, it was considered important to set the experiential suffering of illness and diseases against the contextual background of daily life cycle of beliefs and communal daily living as found in the manuscripts. I am confident that the first two stated objectives of the thesis have been achieved within the limits of the oral narratives; the attempt to meet the requirements of the final phase of research, while complete within the defined set limits, has clearly shown that the manuscripts, in their entirety, represent an extensive original resource of oral traditions from the Highlands and Islands which have as yet not been researched in detail (Mac-an- Tuairnear 2007). Completion of this thesis was facilitated by the formation of a Microsoft Access database inclusive of all the manuscript key subjects- samples of which can be found in the Appendix.

1 score (x, 113 p.)The implementation of an informed cross-relationship between two independent art forms has often been a source of inspiration for artists throughout the millennia. However, in the late 19th century, both Russian and French thinkers and artists began to build upon this notion by creatively considering the intermingling of sensory experiences as well. The resulting artwork from this temporally specific era was described as being "Symbolist," referencing both the intermedial and multi-sensory processes involved and/or considered in creating the respective work. My personal penchant to explore this artistic approach has resulted in a symphony that was inspired by, and intimately considers, five individual pieces of French "Symbolist" art, poetry, and sculpture. Each movement specifically focuses upon one of the five human senses. The respective works are: the sculpture "Le baiser" by Auguste Rodin (touch), "Parfum exotique" from Les fleurs du mal by Charles Baudelaire (smell), "Tristesse d'été" by Stèphane Mallarmé (taste) as published in Du parnasse contemporain, the painting "Hina tefatou" by Paul Gauguin (sight/insight), and "Chanson d'automne" from Poèmes saturniens by Paul Verlaine (hearing/listening).

Full textAbstract:
One of the most consistent features of the diverse artistic movements that have flourished throughout the twentieth century has been their willingness to experiment in diverse genres and across alternative art forms. Avant-gardes such as Expressionism, Dada, Surrealism, Futurism, Fluxus and Pop were composed not only of painters but also dramatists, musicians, actors, singers, dancers, sculptors, poets and architects. Their works represent a dramatic process of crossfertilization between the arts, resulting in an array of hybrid forms that defy conventional categorisation. This thesis investigates implications of this cross-disciplinary impulse and aims by doing so to open out a site in which to reassess both the manner in which the avant-gardes have been theorised and the impact their theorisation has had on contemporary aesthetics. In the first part of this study, I revisit the work of the most influential theorists of the avant-garde in order to ask what the term “avant-garde” has come to signify. I look at how different theories of the avant-garde and of modernism relate to one another as well as asking what effect these theories have had on attempts to evaluate the legacies of the avant-gardes. The work of Theodor Adorno provides a connective tissue throughout the thesis. In Chapter One, I use it to complicate Peter Bürger’s notion of the avant-garde as “anti-art” and to argue that the most pressing challenge that the avant-gardes announce is to think through the cross-disciplinarity that marks their work. In Chapter Two, I trace how painting has come to be considered as the paradigmatic modernist art form and how, as a result, the avant-garde has been read as a secondary, “literary” phenomenon to be grasped through its relation to painting. I argue that this constitutes a systematic devaluation of literature and has resulted in an “art historical” model of the avant-gardes which represses both their real radicality and implications of their work for these kinds of disciplinary structures. In the second part of this thesis, I explore works which examine and question the aesthetic hierarchies and notions of aesthetic autonomy that the theories of modernism and the avant-garde explored in the first part set up. In Chapter Three, I approach by way of two cross-disciplinary works which employ literature and visual art: Marcel Duchamp’s Green Box (1934) and Andy Warhol’s a; a novel (1968). Works such as these, which slip through the gaps between literary and art history, have, I argue, important implications for literary and visual aesthetics but are often overlooked in disciplinary histories. In my final chapter, I return to the theory of the avant-garde as it emerges in the work of Jean-Francois Lyotard. I examine how his work reconfigures Adorno’s aesthetics by performing the cross-disciplinary movement that it argues is characteristic of avant-garde art works. Tracing his “post-aesthetic” response to Duchamp and Warhol, I explore how Lyotard articulates a mode of practice that moves beyond the dichotomy of “art” and “antiart” and opens out a site in which the importance of the twentieth century avant-gardes is made visible. I conclude by briefly considering the implications of the avant-garde, as I have presented it in this thesis, for contemporary debates on the twenty-first century “digital avant-gardes” and recent writing on aesthetics.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral presentation consists of the preparation of critical editions of eight orchestral works by J.B. McEwen: Symphony in A minor (1895-99), Viola Concerto (1901), Coronach (1903), The Demon Lover (1907-08), Grey Galloway (1908), Solway, A Symphony (1911), Hills 'o Heather (1918), and Where The Wild Thyme Blows (1936). In the absence of any monograph on McEwen there is a chapter which brings together for the first time the biographical information that can be culled from various sources; some, like the correspondence between Henry George Farmer and McEwen in the late 1940's, has never been discussed before. A separate chapter surveys the collection of McEwen manuscripts held at Glasgow University Library, its condition, the extent of it, and how it came to be housed there. There follows a discussion of each of the selected works from the point of view of the editorial issues relating to them and also some aspects of McEwen's stylistic development. It was important to McEwen that a composer spoke in his native voice through his music as is evident in a letter he wrote to H.G. Farmer in 1947(1). Discussion of this aspect of his expressive style is therefore helpful in understanding his development from the early Symphony in A minor of 1895-99 to his last orchestral work, Where The Wild Thyme Blows of 1936. Such a stylistic study is secondary to the main thrust of the thesis which is a critical edition, but it is necessary in order to fully understand the complex issues involved in making McEwen's last orchestral work performable. Where The Wild Thyme Blows was left incomplete and the present editor has made a performing version. There is a brief concluding section which consolidates evident features of the McEwen manuscripts which would be useful for further studies of these papers. Each of the selected works is presented as a separate volume in a scholarly edition with full critical commentary given at the end of each volume.

Tese de doutoramento em Letras, na área de História (História da Cultura) apresentada à Fac. de Letras da Univ. de CoimbraNa introdução do nosso estudo definimos o nosso referente, a teoria da evolução darwiniana e as suas relações privilegiadas com os evolucionismos de Herbert Spencer e de Ernst Hæckel, para sabermos exactamente o que é que íamos procurar na cultura portuguesa e para podermos caracterizar o tipo de acolhimento que a filosofia, as diversas teorias da história e da sociedade fizeram do darwinismo. Além disso, procurámos transmitir uma ideia propedêutica da recepção do darwinismo em Portugal; por um lado, através das suas incidências nas ciências naturais e, por outro lado, tomando como barómetro os artigos e as notícias que se publicaram, expressamente, para homenagear o sábio inglês, por ocasião da sua morte, em 1882, e aquando do quinquagésimo aniversário da Origem das espécies, em 1909. O nosso estudo divide-se em três partes, correspondentes a três domínios (filosofia, história e engenharia social) que ordenámos segundo o critério clássico do grau de abstracção. Embora distintas, as três partes estão unidas por uma comunidade problemática que, tomada globalmente, consiste em determinar o valor que nos referidos campos foi atribuído à teoria darwiniana. Consoante as particularidades das fontes, aquela problemática comum diversifica-se em múltiplas questões. Entre estas, refira-se, nomeadamente, a averiguação e o exame das formas de apropriação e de uso que as teorias da história e da sociedade fizeram da lógica evolucionária de Darwin, entre 1865 e 1914. Na primeira parte, analisamos os efeitos produzidos pelo darwinismo na reflexão filosófica anteriana. Se o poeta filósofo não é toda a filosofia portuguesa, entre 1865 e 1914, a verdade é que ele foi o único que lutou pela salvação filosófica da ciência, em particular, da teoria científica da evolução. Antero, "o Só", como foi identificado por Manuel Laranjeira, concebeu uma metafísica evolucionista que valorizava a teoria darwiniana da evolução, mas que também via na Weltanschauung cientista um sinal dos tempos. Assim, embora Antero recuse o estatuto de filosofia ao monismo hæckeliano, atribui-lhe o mérito de mostrar que a verdadeira filosofia não podia ser construída à margem do progresso científico. O esforço único e criativo que Antero desenvolveu para conciliar a metafísica com a ciência impôs que lhe tivessemos dado um tratamento de distinção. Na segunda parte do nosso estudo, analisamos o impacto do darwinismo na história, e especialmente, na teoria teofiliana da história, nas posições dos críticos de Teófilo Braga, na "teoria da história universal" de Oliveira Martins, nos estudos de Ramalho Ortigão e, finalmente, na teoria da história da Augusto Coelho. Conforme se verificará, os modos como os referidos autores enquadram e utilizam os enunciados darwinianos da "preservação das raças favorecidas na luta pela vida" ou selecção natural, da luta inter-racial, da hereditariedade, do evolver imprevisível, etc., acusam diferenças que, em última análise, traduzem variações do chamado "mito ariano" (Léon Poliakov) que, na época considerada, recebeu a cobertura da lógica darwinista da história. A terceira parte do nosso estudo intitula-se engenharia social (conhecer para transformar) e nela abordamos a construção sociológica teofiliana, o modelo-zénite de Júlio de Matos, a apropriação do darwinismo pela teoria-prática anarquista e os reflexos da eugenia em Portugal, no período histórico em causa. O ideário acrata, com a sua fundamentação cientista, é aquele que melhor permite provar que o darwinismo se converteu num Zeitgeist; por outro lado, é o testemunho mais perturbador de que a lógica darwiniana da história serviu ideários sociais que, em rigor, estavam completamente fora dos horizontes do sábio inglês. O nosso estudo termina com o consenso alargado da elite pensante, sobretudo médica, em torno das implicações eugénicas do darwinismo. A moderação das propostas eugénicas avançadas, entre 1865 e 1914, a prudência jurídica nesta delicada matéria, aliadas a outros indicativos da época, revelam a profunda "paixão" de Portugal pela França.
