MARTINS, Hugo. Customs, Rites, and Popular Traditions: Domestic Sphere and Family Life Among Women of the Portuguese Nation. e-JPH [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.1, pp.22-53.  Epub 31-Dic-2023. ISSN 1645-6432.  https://doi.org/10.26300/4exp-yx46.

The domestic sphere and its relationship with communal authority in the Portuguese Nation of Hamburg is the main point under analysis in this study. The article analyses how certain customs, rites, and popular traditions were progressively transferred from the private sphere to the scope of communal authority and, correspondingly, how this expropriation was granted and even negotiated by members of the community. This work will seek to understand the real extent of central power in the various parties involved, and in particular among women, as well as how it was justified and applied and, above all, its long-term socio-political consequences.
