Political culture in action: Institutional dialogue between the Crown and urban centers in Fourteenth-Century Portugal
Abstract
This article defends the concept of political culture as a tool to approach different components of the mental and funcional environment that acted on the process and foundations of the dialogue established between the Crown and the Councils in the kingdom of Portugal in the mid-fourteenth century. Taking this premise into account, 292 special chapters of the Parliament, presented in the assemblies of 1325, 1331, 1352 and 1361 are analyzed, not with the goal of identifying the objectives that the Councils wanted to attain, but rather of identifying the argumentative basis they used for that purpose, expressing the said political culture from a municipal perspective.Downloads
