PEREIRA, Joana Dias. An aspect of modern civilisation. The associative congresses in Portugal (1865-1926). Anál. Social [online]. 2022, n.245, pp.676-703.  Epub 31-Dez-2022. ISSN 0003-2573.  https://doi.org/10.31447/as00032573.2022245.03.

This article focuses on a little-studied expression of the modern repertoire of collective action - the associational congresses. Considering the associational dynamics and European trends, it presents the phenomenon’s periodisation, considering the diffusion of new norms and practices of debate and collective resolution (1865-1885), the diversification of protagonists and topics (1885-1914) and, finally, their opposition in competing or antagonistic political fields (1914-1926), culminating in the military coup of May 28 1926, followed by a sharp decline of associational activity.
