- Releituras de uma obra abertaPublication . Cardoso, José LuísOs organizadores deste livro fizeram insistências porfiadas para que de novo regressasse a uma reflexão sobre a importância da história das ideias económicas na formação do discurso histórico de Jorge Borges de Macedo. Visitei anteriormente o tema por duas vezes,4 não parecendo curial socorrer-me do estilo parafrástico para regressar ao local do culto. Todavia, regressando à leitura de alguns dos seus textos mais apreciados, dei-me conta de que seria justificável fazer breves acrescentos e anotações sobre o significado de uma obra aberta, que sempre convida a incursões adicionais. Escolhi três temas ou exemplos para ilustrar esta revisitação: a) o Tratado de Methuen; b) as ideias económicas como guião reflexivo; c) a economia e a política na revolução de 1820.

- Historicizing urban political economy: financialization, platformization, and the past and present of urban studiesPublication . Tulumello, SimoneThis chapter engages with urban political economy through the lenses of recent discussions on housing financialization and platform urbanism. I discuss the contribution of urban political economy to understand the present predicament and its limits: on the one hand, a certain tendency to presentism – the risk of overemphasizing the peculiarity of the post-1970s conjuncture in detriment of an understanding of the recursive nature of certain trajectories of capitalist development, and a limited understanding of the politics of the present of urban change. On those grounds, I make a twofold call for the field: I advocate for a deeper historicization of urban political economy by engaging with Giovanni Arrighi’s long centuries and the genealogical gaze of critical logistical studies, and argue for a fully dialectical approach to the politics of urban political economy. In summary, I trace the contours of a conceptual project with both analytical and strategic value: analytical, in that it allows us to understand the present predicament as a peculiar iteration of recursive phenomena driven by dialectical struggles around social reproduction, and strategic, in that it contributes to de-fetishizing financialization and platformization, thereby opening up to a political imaginary capable of visualizing – and enacting – different futures.

- Smartness as a New Paradigm for Retail? Sociotechnical Imaginaries of Autonomous Stores in the MediaPublication . Viseu, Ana; Pereira, João Pedro; Delicado, AnaAS), they are typically described as AI-powered physical spaces that monitor customer interactions, automatically bill for items, and allow customers to simply pick up goods and leave without the traditional checkout (Phillips et al., 2022). Media often describe autonomous stores as the «store of the future» (NYT, 2018, news article) and the «future of shopping» (The Guardian, 2016, news article), demonstrating how technology can enhance everyday life (PT specialized media, 2023, news article). These stores are expected to disrupt retail and consumption, conflating imaginaries of technological progress in the service of consumer convenience and automation. This chapter aims to probe the «sociotechnical imaginaries» (Jasanoff & Kim, 2009; Jasanoff, 2015) of autonomous stores that circulate in news media. Defined by Jasanoff as «collectively held, institutionally stabilized, and publicly performed visions of desirable futures, animated by shared understandings of forms of social life and social order attainable through, and supportive of, advances in science and technology» (2015: 4), sociotechnical imaginaries highlight the performative role of discourse and imagination in bringing entities and worlds into existence. We examine how autonomous stores are defined, the purported needs that drive them, the users they conjure, and their broader implications. Our analysis is based on 137 media articles written about AS published across selected legacy and specialized outlets between 2016 and 2023 in Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States, which were thematically analysed using MaxQDA software (Braun & Clarke, 2006). The chapter stems from an ongoing research project funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, Autonomous Stores: Sociotechnical Infrastructures, Imaginaries and Data Governance, that seeks to examine how autonomous stores are materially and discursively constituted, maintained, and used.

- Les Portugais et la PIDE: Pour une Approche 'Par le BasPublication . Simpson, DuncanCe chapitre analyse les “interactions quotidiennes” entre la société portugaise et la police politique (PIDE) de la dictature salazariste (État Nouveau), sous la forme de lettres de dénonciations, de pétitions, et de candidatures spontanées. Il s’appuie sur les apports de la bibliographie internationale des pratiques accusatrices, et de la vie quotidienne en dictature, pour aborder la PIDE depuis les perspectives subjectives des citoyens qui l’approchèrent “par le bas”. L’analyse des diverses modalités d’instrumentalisation de la PIDE mises en oeuvre par un large segment de la population, souvent par intérêt personnel ou pour subvenir aux nécessités du quotidien, permet non seulement de mettre en lumière la complexité (et l’ambiguïté) des relations entre la société et la police politique salazariste, mais aussi de pénétrer les mécanismes d’exercice du pouvoir par les autorités de l’État Nouveau.
