91 Caçique /Caçiquismo
Portuguese (and Spanish or Castilian) words for local, regional political boss and the practice and system of local, regional bossism in Portugal and Spain, beginning in the 19th century. The word cacique is derived from the corruption of an Amerindian word in the Caribbean and South America for "chief" or "lord" in the 16th and 17th centuries. In Portugal and Spain, under the constitutional monarchy and later, the local or regional political boss, or cacique, was the central government's informal representative or local authority, who may or may not have held office in the formal administrative system of municipalities, parishes, counties, districts, and provinces. Political parties in the capitals ( Lisbon and Madrid) exercised their influence in the provinces through local figures of importance, such as the mayor of the Câmara Municipal (City Hall), alderman, clerk, or judge, who, come election time, would manage and/or rig elections at the municipal or other levels.The political party based in the capital would depend on the cacique to ensure electoral victory in his area or hometown. To get the requisite votes, the local political boss, then, would have a quid pro quo for the voter: in return for a vote for the indicated party, the cacique would reward the voter (or eleitor, in the Portuguese language) with incentives such as payment in money, a tax break, a job for the voter or a relative, or, in some instances, an excuse from the obligation of serving in the armed forces for a draftee. The systematic use of local bosses in the institution of bossism as described here endured from the last half of the 19th century to the 1920s, under the First Republic, and into the Estado Novo in Portugal, and in the case of Spain, into the Primo de Rivera regime (1923-30). -
92 Luso
Portuguese prefix meaning "Portuguese." It derives from the ancient Roman term for the province of Lusitania and the name of the native inhabitants, Lusitanians. In myth, the ancestor of all Lu-sitanians was one "Lusus." Today Luso is also the name of a town in central Portugal that has famous mineral waters. -
93 Madredeus
Portuguese musical performing group of instrumentalists and singers, in a new pop music tradition, with a growing global reputation. It was formed by musicians in the late 1980s, who practiced in the Lisbon church and convent of Madre de Deus, also the site of a museum of Portuguese tiles. MadreDeus was formed by Pedro Ayres de Magalhães, contrabass. The group soon added acoustic guitars, cello, and accordion. A fado singer, the young Teresa Salgueiro, joined the instrumentalists later. In the 1990s, the group achieved international fame and celebrity in the music world with many successful concerts, records, and CDs. In 1995, music of MadreDeus was featured in a new film, Lisbon Story, directed by filmmaker Wim Wenders of Germany, thus opening a new phase of celebrity for the group. That same year, MadreDeus added a new instrumentalist, a bass, as the group performed in Brazil and the United States. -
94 Pronunciamento
Portuguese word for military coup d'etat, uprising, or insurrection, derived from the verb "to declare, to announce solemnly and publicly." The Spanish word is similar ( pro-nunciamiento). Praetorianism or military insurrectionism became a chronic problem, as well as a political tradition, first in Spain after the army's coup of 1812, followed by an army insurrection in the cause of constitutional monarchy in 1820 in Oporto, Portugal. Both civilian and military conspiracies to use the military to intervene in public affairs, overthrow the current government, and establish a "new" system became common from this time on in Iberian affairs, and such activity was also common in 19th-century Latin America, where Spain and Portugal had former colonies. The Portuguese word for the tendency to have pronunciamentos or golpes is referred to as golpismo. -
