  • Um acontecimento mediático na Europa das Luzes: a propaganda antijesuítica pombalina em Portugal e na Europa
    Publication . Franco, José Eduardo; Vogel, Christine
    O Marquês de Pombal e a propaganda que promoveu de forma sistemática e programada em Portugal e na Europa contra a Companhia de Jesus – tentando que os seus panfletos fossem conhecidos em todas as paragens extra-europeias onde os Jesuítas se tinham implantado – geraram um verdadeiro acontecimento mediático na Época das Luzes. Pombal não merece apenas o título de autor da construção de um mito fantástico dos Jesuítas como instrumento constituído, entre outros fins, para legitimação da sua política reformista e como meio de garantir a sua longevidade pessoal no poder. Merece também o estatuto de um dos maiores promotores de uma vasta campanha nacional e internacional sem precedentes em Portugal contra uma instituição.
  • Between Nero and Prometheus: the Marquis of Pombal and the emergence of party history (18th-21st centuries)
    Publication . Franco, José Eduardo; Oliveira, Luiz Eduardo; Vogel, Christine
    Having achieved international fame during his lifetime and becoming the political figure most written about inside and outside his native country, the national importance of the Marquis of Pombal was confirmed in 1934, when a monumental statue was erected in his honor in the center of Lisbon, Pombal. However, until today he is the object of polemics and controversies, in universities and at the tables of bars, where, throughout history, supporters and opposers of his political and administrative acts dispute primacy, making the mythology of the Marquis of Pombal something alive in Portuguese culture. In addition to taking care of his own image, Pombal organized a powerful propaganda scheme that did not exclude symbolic paintings, medals, panegyrics, sonnets and theatrical plays in his honor, exerting absolute control over his own biography. However, if during his government his supporters and sycophants glorified him, there were few who remained by his side after the death of D. José and his fall from government, during the so-called “viradeira”. This book, which brings together a team of experienced researchers dedicated to studying of the Pombaline period, is a proof that the Marquis of Pombal, being one of the most fascinating and controversial characters in European history, is part of a central and decisive moment in the history of the Portuguese empire, but also in the process of organization and unification of Brazil.
  • Propaganda pombalina em França: tradução, visualização, radicalização
    Publication . Vogel, Christine
    The fact that Pombal is today one of the most important actors of enlightened absolutism is due above all to his comprehensive reform program, which included virtually all political fields of action of the 18th century. At least as important, however, is the fact that he accompanied his measures with extremely intensive public relations work: Pombal had understood how important it was to get public opinion in Europe on his side, because especially those reforms that threatened the traditional rights and positions of power of the Catholic Church were the subject of controversial debate in a Europe divided along confessional lines. France played an important role in the European battle of opinion: French intellectuals and publicists dominated international public opinion, and French was the language of the educated and enlightened. This paper will therefore examine how Pombal's propaganda functioned in France and what significance French translations and adaptations had for the European battle of opinion.
