  • 2 Historical Portugal

       Before Romans described western Iberia or Hispania as "Lusitania," ancient Iberians inhabited the land. Phoenician and Greek trading settlements grew up in the Tagus estuary area and nearby coasts. Beginning around 202 BCE, Romans invaded what is today southern Portugal. With Rome's defeat of Carthage, Romans proceeded to conquer and rule the western region north of the Tagus, which they named Roman "Lusitania." In the fourth century CE, as Rome's rule weakened, the area experienced yet another invasion—Germanic tribes, principally the Suevi, who eventually were Christianized. During the sixth century CE, the Suevi kingdom was superseded by yet another Germanic tribe—the Christian Visigoths.
       A major turning point in Portugal's history came in 711, as Muslim armies from North Africa, consisting of both Arab and Berber elements, invaded the Iberian Peninsula from across the Straits of Gibraltar. They entered what is now Portugal in 714, and proceeded to conquer most of the country except for the far north. For the next half a millennium, Islam and Muslim presence in Portugal left a significant mark upon the politics, government, language, and culture of the country.
       Islam, Reconquest, and Portugal Created, 714-1140
       The long frontier struggle between Muslim invaders and Christian communities in the north of the Iberian peninsula was called the Reconquista (Reconquest). It was during this struggle that the first dynasty of Portuguese kings (Burgundian) emerged and the independent monarchy of Portugal was established. Christian forces moved south from what is now the extreme north of Portugal and gradually defeated Muslim forces, besieging and capturing towns under Muslim sway. In the ninth century, as Christian forces slowly made their way southward, Christian elements were dominant only in the area between Minho province and the Douro River; this region became known as "territorium Portu-calense."
       In the 11th century, the advance of the Reconquest quickened as local Christian armies were reinforced by crusading knights from what is now France and England. Christian forces took Montemor (1034), at the Mondego River; Lamego (1058); Viseu (1058); and Coimbra (1064). In 1095, the king of Castile and Léon granted the country of "Portu-cale," what became northern Portugal, to a Burgundian count who had emigrated from France. This was the foundation of Portugal. In 1139, a descendant of this count, Afonso Henriques, proclaimed himself "King of Portugal." He was Portugal's first monarch, the "Founder," and the first of the Burgundian dynasty, which ruled until 1385.
       The emergence of Portugal in the 12th century as a separate monarchy in Iberia occurred before the Christian Reconquest of the peninsula. In the 1140s, the pope in Rome recognized Afonso Henriques as king of Portugal. In 1147, after a long, bloody siege, Muslim-occupied Lisbon fell to Afonso Henriques's army. Lisbon was the greatest prize of the 500-year war. Assisting this effort were English crusaders on their way to the Holy Land; the first bishop of Lisbon was an Englishman. When the Portuguese captured Faro and Silves in the Algarve province in 1248-50, the Reconquest of the extreme western portion of the Iberian peninsula was complete—significantly, more than two centuries before the Spanish crown completed the Reconquest of the eastern portion by capturing Granada in 1492.
       Consolidation and Independence of Burgundian Portugal, 1140-1385
       Two main themes of Portugal's early existence as a monarchy are the consolidation of control over the realm and the defeat of a Castil-ian threat from the east to its independence. At the end of this period came the birth of a new royal dynasty (Aviz), which prepared to carry the Christian Reconquest beyond continental Portugal across the straits of Gibraltar to North Africa. There was a variety of motives behind these developments. Portugal's independent existence was imperiled by threats from neighboring Iberian kingdoms to the north and east. Politics were dominated not only by efforts against the Muslims in
       Portugal (until 1250) and in nearby southern Spain (until 1492), but also by internecine warfare among the kingdoms of Castile, Léon, Aragon, and Portugal. A final comeback of Muslim forces was defeated at the battle of Salado (1340) by allied Castilian and Portuguese forces. In the emerging Kingdom of Portugal, the monarch gradually gained power over and neutralized the nobility and the Church.
       The historic and commonplace Portuguese saying "From Spain, neither a good wind nor a good marriage" was literally played out in diplomacy and war in the late 14th-century struggles for mastery in the peninsula. Larger, more populous Castile was pitted against smaller Portugal. Castile's Juan I intended to force a union between Castile and Portugal during this era of confusion and conflict. In late 1383, Portugal's King Fernando, the last king of the Burgundian dynasty, suddenly died prematurely at age 38, and the Master of Aviz, Portugal's most powerful nobleman, took up the cause of independence and resistance against Castile's invasion. The Master of Aviz, who became King João I of Portugal, was able to obtain foreign assistance. With the aid of English archers, Joao's armies defeated the Castilians in the crucial battle of Aljubarrota, on 14 August 1385, a victory that assured the independence of the Portuguese monarchy from its Castilian nemesis for several centuries.
       Aviz Dynasty and Portugal's First Overseas Empire, 1385-1580
       The results of the victory at Aljubarrota, much celebrated in Portugal's art and monuments, and the rise of the Aviz dynasty also helped to establish a new merchant class in Lisbon and Oporto, Portugal's second city. This group supported King João I's program of carrying the Reconquest to North Africa, since it was interested in expanding Portugal's foreign commerce and tapping into Muslim trade routes and resources in Africa. With the Reconquest against the Muslims completed in Portugal and the threat from Castile thwarted for the moment, the Aviz dynasty launched an era of overseas conquest, exploration, and trade. These efforts dominated Portugal's 15th and 16th centuries.
       The overseas empire and age of Discoveries began with Portugal's bold conquest in 1415 of the Moroccan city of Ceuta. One royal member of the 1415 expedition was young, 21-year-old Prince Henry, later known in history as "Prince Henry the Navigator." His part in the capture of Ceuta won Henry his knighthood and began Portugal's "Marvelous Century," during which the small kingdom was counted as a European and world power of consequence. Henry was the son of King João I and his English queen, Philippa of Lancaster, but he did not inherit the throne. Instead, he spent most of his life and his fortune, and that of the wealthy military Order of Christ, on various imperial ventures and on voyages of exploration down the African coast and into the Atlantic. While mythology has surrounded Henry's controversial role in the Discoveries, and this role has been exaggerated, there is no doubt that he played a vital part in the initiation of Portugal's first overseas empire and in encouraging exploration. He was naturally curious, had a sense of mission for Portugal, and was a strong leader. He also had wealth to expend; at least a third of the African voyages of the time were under his sponsorship. If Prince Henry himself knew little science, significant scientific advances in navigation were made in his day.
       What were Portugal's motives for this new imperial effort? The well-worn historical cliche of "God, Glory, and Gold" can only partly explain the motivation of a small kingdom with few natural resources and barely 1 million people, which was greatly outnumbered by the other powers it confronted. Among Portuguese objectives were the desire to exploit known North African trade routes and resources (gold, wheat, leather, weaponry, and other goods that were scarce in Iberia); the need to outflank the Muslim world in the Mediterranean by sailing around Africa, attacking Muslims en route; and the wish to ally with Christian kingdoms beyond Africa. This enterprise also involved a strategy of breaking the Venetian spice monopoly by trading directly with the East by means of discovering and exploiting a sea route around Africa to Asia. Besides the commercial motives, Portugal nurtured a strong crusading sense of Christian mission, and various classes in the kingdom saw an opportunity for fame and gain.
       By the time of Prince Henry's death in 1460, Portugal had gained control of the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeiras, begun to colonize the Cape Verde Islands, failed to conquer the Canary Islands from Castile, captured various cities on Morocco's coast, and explored as far as Senegal, West Africa, down the African coast. By 1488, Bar-tolomeu Dias had rounded the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa and thereby discovered the way to the Indian Ocean.
       Portugal's largely coastal African empire and later its fragile Asian empire brought unexpected wealth but were purchased at a high price. Costs included wars of conquest and defense against rival powers, manning the far-flung navel and trade fleets and scattered castle-fortresses, and staffing its small but fierce armies, all of which entailed a loss of skills and population to maintain a scattered empire. Always short of capital, the monarchy became indebted to bankers. There were many defeats beginning in the 16th century at the hands of the larger imperial European monarchies (Spain, France, England, and Holland) and many attacks on Portugal and its strung-out empire. Typically, there was also the conflict that arose when a tenuously held world empire that rarely if ever paid its way demanded finance and manpower Portugal itself lacked.
       The first 80 years of the glorious imperial era, the golden age of Portugal's imperial power and world influence, was an African phase. During 1415-88, Portuguese navigators and explorers in small ships, some of them caravelas (caravels), explored the treacherous, disease-ridden coasts of Africa from Morocco to South Africa beyond the Cape of Good Hope. By the 1470s, the Portuguese had reached the Gulf of Guinea and, in the early 1480s, what is now Angola. Bartolomeu Dias's extraordinary voyage of 1487-88 to South Africa's coast and the edge of the Indian Ocean convinced Portugal that the best route to Asia's spices and Christians lay south, around the tip of southern Africa. Between 1488 and 1495, there was a hiatus caused in part by domestic conflict in Portugal, discussion of resources available for further conquests beyond Africa in Asia, and serious questions as to Portugal's capacity to reach beyond Africa. In 1495, King Manuel and his council decided to strike for Asia, whatever the consequences. In 1497-99, Vasco da Gama, under royal orders, made the epic two-year voyage that discovered the sea route to western India (Asia), outflanked Islam and Venice, and began Portugal's Asian empire. Within 50 years, Portugal had discovered and begun the exploitation of its largest colony, Brazil, and set up forts and trading posts from the Middle East (Aden and Ormuz), India (Calicut, Goa, etc.), Malacca, and Indonesia to Macau in China.
       By the 1550s, parts of its largely coastal, maritime trading post empire from Morocco to the Moluccas were under siege from various hostile forces, including Muslims, Christians, and Hindi. Although Moroccan forces expelled the Portuguese from the major coastal cities by 1550, the rival European monarchies of Castile (Spain), England, France, and later Holland began to seize portions of her undermanned, outgunned maritime empire.
       In 1580, Phillip II of Spain, whose mother was a Portuguese princess and who had a strong claim to the Portuguese throne, invaded Portugal, claimed the throne, and assumed control over the realm and, by extension, its African, Asian, and American empires. Phillip II filled the power vacuum that appeared in Portugal following the loss of most of Portugal's army and its young, headstrong King Sebastião in a disastrous war in Morocco. Sebastiao's death in battle (1578) and the lack of a natural heir to succeed him, as well as the weak leadership of the cardinal who briefly assumed control in Lisbon, led to a crisis that Spain's strong monarch exploited. As a result, Portugal lost its independence to Spain for a period of 60 years.
       Portugal under Spanish Rule, 1580-1640
       Despite the disastrous nature of Portugal's experience under Spanish rule, "The Babylonian Captivity" gave birth to modern Portuguese nationalism, its second overseas empire, and its modern alliance system with England. Although Spain allowed Portugal's weakened empire some autonomy, Spanish rule in Portugal became increasingly burdensome and unacceptable. Spain's ambitious imperial efforts in Europe and overseas had an impact on the Portuguese as Spain made greater and greater demands on its smaller neighbor for manpower and money. Portugal's culture underwent a controversial Castilianization, while its empire became hostage to Spain's fortunes. New rival powers England, France, and Holland attacked and took parts of Spain's empire and at the same time attacked Portugal's empire, as well as the mother country.
       Portugal's empire bore the consequences of being attacked by Spain's bitter enemies in what was a form of world war. Portuguese losses were heavy. By 1640, Portugal had lost most of its Moroccan cities as well as Ceylon, the Moluccas, and sections of India. With this, Portugal's Asian empire was gravely weakened. Only Goa, Damão, Diu, Bombay, Timor, and Macau remained and, in Brazil, Dutch forces occupied the northeast.
       On 1 December 1640, long commemorated as a national holiday, Portuguese rebels led by the duke of Braganza overthrew Spanish domination and took advantage of Spanish weakness following a more serious rebellion in Catalonia. Portugal regained independence from Spain, but at a price: dependence on foreign assistance to maintain its independence in the form of the renewal of the alliance with England.
       Restoration and Second Empire, 1640-1822
       Foreign affairs and empire dominated the restoration era and aftermath, and Portugal again briefly enjoyed greater European power and prestige. The Anglo-Portuguese Alliance was renewed and strengthened in treaties of 1642, 1654, and 1661, and Portugal's independence from Spain was underwritten by English pledges and armed assistance. In a Luso-Spanish treaty of 1668, Spain recognized Portugal's independence. Portugal's alliance with England was a marriage of convenience and necessity between two monarchies with important religious, cultural, and social differences. In return for legal, diplomatic, and trade privileges, as well as the use during war and peace of Portugal's great Lisbon harbor and colonial ports for England's navy, England pledged to protect Portugal and its scattered empire from any attack. The previously cited 17th-century alliance treaties were renewed later in the Treaty of Windsor, signed in London in 1899. On at least 10 different occasions after 1640, and during the next two centuries, England was central in helping prevent or repel foreign invasions of its ally, Portugal.
       Portugal's second empire (1640-1822) was largely Brazil-oriented. Portuguese colonization, exploitation of wealth, and emigration focused on Portuguese America, and imperial revenues came chiefly from Brazil. Between 1670 and 1740, Portugal's royalty and nobility grew wealthier on funds derived from Brazilian gold, diamonds, sugar, tobacco, and other crops, an enterprise supported by the Atlantic slave trade and the supply of African slave labor from West Africa and Angola. Visitors today can see where much of that wealth was invested: Portugal's rich legacy of monumental architecture. Meanwhile, the African slave trade took a toll in Angola and West Africa.
       In continental Portugal, absolutist monarchy dominated politics and government, and there was a struggle for position and power between the monarchy and other institutions, such as the Church and nobility. King José I's chief minister, usually known in history as the marquis of Pombal (ruled 1750-77), sharply suppressed the nobility and the
       Church (including the Inquisition, now a weak institution) and expelled the Jesuits. Pombal also made an effort to reduce economic dependence on England, Portugal's oldest ally. But his successes did not last much beyond his disputed time in office.
       Beginning in the late 18th century, the European-wide impact of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon placed Portugal in a vulnerable position. With the monarchy ineffectively led by an insane queen (Maria I) and her indecisive regent son (João VI), Portugal again became the focus of foreign ambition and aggression. With England unable to provide decisive assistance in time, France—with Spain's consent—invaded Portugal in 1807. As Napoleon's army under General Junot entered Lisbon meeting no resistance, Portugal's royal family fled on a British fleet to Brazil, where it remained in exile until 1821. In the meantime, Portugal's overseas empire was again under threat. There was a power vacuum as the monarch was absent, foreign armies were present, and new political notions of liberalism and constitutional monarchy were exciting various groups of citizens.
       Again England came to the rescue, this time in the form of the armies of the duke of Wellington. Three successive French invasions of Portugal were defeated and expelled, and Wellington succeeded in carrying the war against Napoleon across the Portuguese frontier into Spain. The presence of the English army, the new French-born liberal ideas, and the political vacuum combined to create revolutionary conditions. The French invasions and the peninsular wars, where Portuguese armed forces played a key role, marked the beginning of a new era in politics.
       Liberalism and Constitutional Monarchy, 1822-1910
       During 1807-22, foreign invasions, war, and civil strife over conflicting political ideas gravely damaged Portugal's commerce, economy, and novice industry. The next terrible blow was the loss of Brazil in 1822, the jewel in the imperial crown. Portugal's very independence seemed to be at risk. In vain, Portugal sought to resist Brazilian independence by force, but in 1825 it formally acknowledged Brazilian independence by treaty.
       Portugal's slow recovery from the destructive French invasions and the "war of independence" was complicated by civil strife over the form of constitutional monarchy that best suited Portugal. After struggles over these issues between 1820 and 1834, Portugal settled somewhat uncertainly into a moderate constitutional monarchy whose constitution (Charter of 1826) lent it strong political powers to exert a moderating influence between the executive and legislative branches of the government. It also featured a new upper middle class based on land ownership and commerce; a Catholic Church that, although still important, lived with reduced privileges and property; a largely African (third) empire to which Lisbon and Oporto devoted increasing spiritual and material resources, starting with the liberal imperial plans of 1836 and 1851, and continuing with the work of institutions like the Lisbon Society of Geography (established 1875); and a mass of rural peasants whose bonds to the land weakened after 1850 and who began to immigrate in increasing numbers to Brazil and North America.
       Chronic military intervention in national politics began in 19th-century Portugal. Such intervention, usually commencing with coups or pronunciamentos (military revolts), was a shortcut to the spoils of political office and could reflect popular discontent as well as the power of personalities. An early example of this was the 1817 golpe (coup) attempt of General Gomes Freire against British military rule in Portugal before the return of King João VI from Brazil. Except for a more stable period from 1851 to 1880, military intervention in politics, or the threat thereof, became a feature of the constitutional monarchy's political life, and it continued into the First Republic and the subsequent Estado Novo.
       Beginning with the Regeneration period (1851-80), Portugal experienced greater political stability and economic progress. Military intervention in politics virtually ceased; industrialization and construction of railroads, roads, and bridges proceeded; two political parties (Regenerators and Historicals) worked out a system of rotation in power; and leading intellectuals sparked a cultural revival in several fields. In 19th-century literature, there was a new golden age led by such figures as Alexandre Herculano (historian), Eça de Queirós (novelist), Almeida Garrett (playwright and essayist), Antero de Quental (poet), and Joaquim Oliveira Martins (historian and social scientist). In its third overseas empire, Portugal attempted to replace the slave trade and slavery with legitimate economic activities; to reform the administration; and to expand Portuguese holdings beyond coastal footholds deep into the African hinterlands in West, West Central, and East Africa. After 1841, to some extent, and especially after 1870, colonial affairs, combined with intense nationalism, pressures for economic profit in Africa, sentiment for national revival, and the drift of European affairs would make or break Lisbon governments.
       Beginning with the political crisis that arose out of the "English Ultimatum" affair of January 1890, the monarchy became discredtted and identified with the poorly functioning government, political parties splintered, and republicanism found more supporters. Portugal participated in the "Scramble for Africa," expanding its African holdings, but failed to annex territory connecting Angola and Mozambique. A growing foreign debt and state bankruptcy as of the early 1890s damaged the constitutional monarchy's reputation, despite the efforts of King Carlos in diplomacy, the renewal of the alliance in the Windsor Treaty of 1899, and the successful if bloody colonial wars in the empire (1880-97). Republicanism proclaimed that Portugal's weak economy and poor society were due to two historic institutions: the monarchy and the Catholic Church. A republic, its stalwarts claimed, would bring greater individual liberty; efficient, if more decentralized government; and a stronger colonial program while stripping the Church of its role in both society and education.
       As the monarchy lost support and republicans became more aggressive, violence increased in politics. King Carlos I and his heir Luís were murdered in Lisbon by anarchist-republicans on 1 February 1908. Following a military and civil insurrection and fighting between monarchist and republican forces, on 5 October 1910, King Manuel II fled Portugal and a republic was proclaimed.
       First Parliamentary Republic, 1910-26
       Portugal's first attempt at republican government was the most unstable, turbulent parliamentary republic in the history of 20th-century Western Europe. During a little under 16 years of the republic, there were 45 governments, a number of legislatures that did not complete normal terms, military coups, and only one president who completed his four-year term in office. Portuguese society was poorly prepared for this political experiment. Among the deadly legacies of the monarchy were a huge public debt; a largely rural, apolitical, and illiterate peasant population; conflict over the causes of the country's misfortunes; and lack of experience with a pluralist, democratic system.
       The republic had some talented leadership but lacked popular, institutional, and economic support. The 1911 republican constitution established only a limited democracy, as only a small portion of the adult male citizenry was eligible to vote. In a country where the majority was Catholic, the republic passed harshly anticlerical laws, and its institutions and supporters persecuted both the Church and its adherents. During its brief disjointed life, the First Republic drafted important reform plans in economic, social, and educational affairs; actively promoted development in the empire; and pursued a liberal, generous foreign policy. Following British requests for Portugal's assistance in World War I, Portugal entered the war on the Allied side in March 1916 and sent armies to Flanders and Portuguese Africa. Portugal's intervention in that conflict, however, was too costly in many respects, and the ultimate failure of the republic in part may be ascribed to Portugal's World War I activities.
       Unfortunately for the republic, its time coincided with new threats to Portugal's African possessions: World War I, social and political demands from various classes that could not be reconciled, excessive military intervention in politics, and, in particular, the worst economic and financial crisis Portugal had experienced since the 16th and 17th centuries. After the original Portuguese Republican Party (PRP, also known as the "Democrats") splintered into three warring groups in 1912, no true multiparty system emerged. The Democrats, except for only one or two elections, held an iron monopoly of electoral power, and political corruption became a major issue. As extreme right-wing dictatorships elsewhere in Europe began to take power in Italy (1922), neighboring Spain (1923), and Greece (1925), what scant popular support remained for the republic collapsed. Backed by a right-wing coalition of landowners from Alentejo, clergy, Coimbra University faculty and students, Catholic organizations, and big business, career military officers led by General Gomes da Costa executed a coup on 28 May 1926, turned out the last republican government, and established a military government.
       The Estado Novo (New State), 1926-74
       During the military phase (1926-32) of the Estado Novo, professional military officers, largely from the army, governed and administered Portugal and held key cabinet posts, but soon discovered that the military possessed no magic formula that could readily solve the problems inherited from the First Republic. Especially during the years 1926-31, the military dictatorship, even with its political repression of republican activities and institutions (military censorship of the press, political police action, and closure of the republic's rowdy parliament), was characterized by similar weaknesses: personalism and factionalism; military coups and political instability, including civil strife and loss of life; state debt and bankruptcy; and a weak economy. "Barracks parliamentarism" was not an acceptable alternative even to the "Nightmare Republic."
       Led by General Óscar Carmona, who had replaced and sent into exile General Gomes da Costa, the military dictatorship turned to a civilian expert in finance and economics to break the budget impasse and bring coherence to the disorganized system. Appointed minister of finance on 27 April 1928, the Coimbra University Law School professor of economics Antônio de Oliveira Salazar (1889-1970) first reformed finance, helped balance the budget, and then turned to other concerns as he garnered extraordinary governing powers. In 1930, he was appointed interim head of another key ministry (Colonies) and within a few years had become, in effect, a civilian dictator who, with the military hierarchy's support, provided the government with coherence, a program, and a set of policies.
       For nearly 40 years after he was appointed the first civilian prime minister in 1932, Salazar's personality dominated the government. Unlike extreme right-wing dictators elsewhere in Europe, Salazar was directly appointed by the army but was never endorsed by a popular political party, street militia, or voter base. The scholarly, reclusive former Coimbra University professor built up what became known after 1932 as the Estado Novo ("New State"), which at the time of its overthrow by another military coup in 1974, was the longest surviving authoritarian regime in Western Europe. The system of Salazar and the largely academic and technocratic ruling group he gathered in his cabinets was based on the central bureaucracy of the state, which was supported by the president of the republic—always a senior career military officer, General Óscar Carmona (1928-51), General Craveiro Lopes (1951-58), and Admiral Américo Tómaz (1958-74)—and the complicity of various institutions. These included a rubber-stamp legislature called the National Assembly (1935-74) and a political police known under various names: PVDE (1932-45), PIDE (1945-69),
       and DGS (1969-74). Other defenders of the Estado Novo security were paramilitary organizations such as the National Republican Guard (GNR); the Portuguese Legion (PL); and the Portuguese Youth [Movement]. In addition to censorship of the media, theater, and books, there was political repression and a deliberate policy of depoliticization. All political parties except for the approved movement of regime loyalists, the União Nacional or (National Union), were banned.
       The most vigorous and more popular period of the New State was 1932-44, when the basic structures were established. Never monolithic or entirely the work of one person (Salazar), the New State was constructed with the assistance of several dozen top associates who were mainly academics from law schools, some technocrats with specialized skills, and a handful of trusted career military officers. The 1933 Constitution declared Portugal to be a "unitary, corporative Republic," and pressures to restore the monarchy were resisted. Although some of the regime's followers were fascists and pseudofascists, many more were conservative Catholics, integralists, nationalists, and monarchists of different varieties, and even some reactionary republicans. If the New State was authoritarian, it was not totalitarian and, unlike fascism in Benito Mussolini's Italy or Adolf Hitler's Germany, it usually employed the minimum of violence necessary to defeat what remained a largely fractious, incoherent opposition.
       With the tumultuous Second Republic and the subsequent civil war in nearby Spain, the regime felt threatened and reinforced its defenses. During what Salazar rightly perceived as a time of foreign policy crisis for Portugal (1936-45), he assumed control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From there, he pursued four basic foreign policy objectives: supporting the Nationalist rebels of General Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and concluding defense treaties with a triumphant Franco; ensuring that General Franco in an exhausted Spain did not enter World War II on the Axis side; maintaining Portuguese neutrality in World War II with a post-1942 tilt toward the Allies, including granting Britain and the United States use of bases in the Azores Islands; and preserving and protecting Portugal's Atlantic Islands and its extensive, if poor, overseas empire in Africa and Asia.
       During the middle years of the New State (1944-58), many key Salazar associates in government either died or resigned, and there was greater social unrest in the form of unprecedented strikes and clandestine Communist activities, intensified opposition, and new threatening international pressures on Portugal's overseas empire. During the earlier phase of the Cold War (1947-60), Portugal became a steadfast, if weak, member of the US-dominated North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance and, in 1955, with American support, Portugal joined the United Nations (UN). Colonial affairs remained a central concern of the regime. As of 1939, Portugal was the third largest colonial power in the world and possessed territories in tropical Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, and São Tomé and Príncipe Islands) and the remnants of its 16th-century empire in Asia (Goa, Damão, Diu, East Timor, and Macau). Beginning in the early 1950s, following the independence of India in 1947, Portugal resisted Indian pressures to decolonize Portuguese India and used police forces to discourage internal opposition in its Asian and African colonies.
       The later years of the New State (1958-68) witnessed the aging of the increasingly isolated but feared Salazar and new threats both at home and overseas. Although the regime easily overcame the brief oppositionist threat from rival presidential candidate General Humberto Delgado in the spring of 1958, new developments in the African and Asian empires imperiled the authoritarian system. In February 1961, oppositionists hijacked the Portuguese ocean liner Santa Maria and, in following weeks, African insurgents in northern Angola, although they failed to expel the Portuguese, gained worldwide media attention, discredited the New State, and began the 13-year colonial war. After thwarting a dissident military coup against his continued leadership, Salazar and his ruling group mobilized military repression in Angola and attempted to develop the African colonies at a faster pace in order to ensure Portuguese control. Meanwhile, the other European colonial powers (Britain, France, Belgium, and Spain) rapidly granted political independence to their African territories.
       At the time of Salazar's removal from power in September 1968, following a stroke, Portugal's efforts to maintain control over its colonies appeared to be successful. President Americo Tomás appointed Dr. Marcello Caetano as Salazar's successor as prime minister. While maintaining the New State's basic structures, and continuing the regime's essential colonial policy, Caetano attempted wider reforms in colonial administration and some devolution of power from Lisbon, as well as more freedom of expression in Lisbon. Still, a great deal of the budget was devoted to supporting the wars against the insurgencies in Africa. Meanwhile in Asia, Portuguese India had fallen when the Indian army invaded in December 1961. The loss of Goa was a psychological blow to the leadership of the New State, and of the Asian empire only East Timor and Macau remained.
       The Caetano years (1968-74) were but a hiatus between the waning Salazar era and a new regime. There was greater political freedom and rapid economic growth (5-6 percent annually to late 1973), but Caetano's government was unable to reform the old system thoroughly and refused to consider new methods either at home or in the empire. In the end, regime change came from junior officers of the professional military who organized the Armed Forces Movement (MFA) against the Caetano government. It was this group of several hundred officers, mainly in the army and navy, which engineered a largely bloodless coup in Lisbon on 25 April 1974. Their unexpected action brought down the 48-year-old New State and made possible the eventual establishment and consolidation of democratic governance in Portugal, as well as a reorientation of the country away from the Atlantic toward Europe.
       Revolution of Carnations, 1974-76
       Following successful military operations of the Armed Forces Movement against the Caetano government, Portugal experienced what became known as the "Revolution of Carnations." It so happened that during the rainy week of the military golpe, Lisbon flower shops were featuring carnations, and the revolutionaries and their supporters adopted the red carnation as the common symbol of the event, as well as of the new freedom from dictatorship. The MFA, whose leaders at first were mostly little-known majors and captains, proclaimed a three-fold program of change for the new Portugal: democracy; decolonization of the overseas empire, after ending the colonial wars; and developing a backward economy in the spirit of opportunity and equality. During the first 24 months after the coup, there was civil strife, some anarchy, and a power struggle. With the passing of the Estado Novo, public euphoria burst forth as the new provisional military government proclaimed the freedoms of speech, press, and assembly, and abolished censorship, the political police, the Portuguese Legion, Portuguese Youth, and other New State organizations, including the National Union. Scores of political parties were born and joined the senior political party, the Portuguese Community Party (PCP), and the Socialist Party (PS), founded shortly before the coup.
       Portugal's Revolution of Carnations went through several phases. There was an attempt to take control by radical leftists, including the PCP and its allies. This was thwarted by moderate officers in the army, as well as by the efforts of two political parties: the PS and the Social Democrats (PPD, later PSD). The first phase was from April to September 1974. Provisional president General Antonio Spínola, whose 1974 book Portugal and the Future had helped prepare public opinion for the coup, met irresistible leftist pressures. After Spinola's efforts to avoid rapid decolonization of the African empire failed, he resigned in September 1974. During the second phase, from September 1974 to March 1975, radical military officers gained control, but a coup attempt by General Spínola and his supporters in Lisbon in March 1975 failed and Spínola fled to Spain.
       In the third phase of the Revolution, March-November 1975, a strong leftist reaction followed. Farm workers occupied and "nationalized" 1.1 million hectares of farmland in the Alentejo province, and radical military officers in the provisional government ordered the nationalization of Portuguese banks (foreign banks were exempted), utilities, and major industries, or about 60 percent of the economic system. There were power struggles among various political parties — a total of 50 emerged—and in the streets there was civil strife among labor, military, and law enforcement groups. A constituent assembly, elected on 25 April 1975, in Portugal's first free elections since 1926, drafted a democratic constitution. The Council of the Revolution (CR), briefly a revolutionary military watchdog committee, was entrenched as part of the government under the constitution, until a later revision. During the chaotic year of 1975, about 30 persons were killed in political frays while unstable provisional governments came and went. On 25 November 1975, moderate military forces led by Colonel Ramalho Eanes, who later was twice elected president of the republic (1976 and 1981), defeated radical, leftist military groups' revolutionary conspiracies.
       In the meantime, Portugal's scattered overseas empire experienced a precipitous and unprepared decolonization. One by one, the former colonies were granted and accepted independence—Guinea-Bissau (September 1974), Cape Verde Islands (July 1975), and Mozambique (July 1975). Portugal offered to turn over Macau to the People's Republic of China, but the offer was refused then and later negotiations led to the establishment of a formal decolonization or hand-over date of 1999. But in two former colonies, the process of decolonization had tragic results.
       In Angola, decolonization negotiations were greatly complicated by the fact that there were three rival nationalist movements in a struggle for power. The January 1975 Alvor Agreement signed by Portugal and these three parties was not effectively implemented. A bloody civil war broke out in Angola in the spring of 1975 and, when Portuguese armed forces withdrew and declared that Angola was independent on 11 November 1975, the bloodshed only increased. Meanwhile, most of the white Portuguese settlers from Angola and Mozambique fled during the course of 1975. Together with African refugees, more than 600,000 of these retornados ("returned ones") went by ship and air to Portugal and thousands more to Namibia, South Africa, Brazil, Canada, and the United States.
       The second major decolonization disaster was in Portugal's colony of East Timor in the Indonesian archipelago. Portugal's capacity to supervise and control a peaceful transition to independence in this isolated, neglected colony was limited by the strength of giant Indonesia, distance from Lisbon, and Portugal's revolutionary disorder and inability to defend Timor. In early December 1975, before Portugal granted formal independence and as one party, FRETILIN, unilaterally declared East Timor's independence, Indonesia's armed forces invaded, conquered, and annexed East Timor. Indonesian occupation encountered East Timorese resistance, and a heavy loss of life followed. The East Timor question remained a contentious international issue in the UN, as well as in Lisbon and Jakarta, for more than 20 years following Indonesia's invasion and annexation of the former colony of Portugal. Major changes occurred, beginning in 1998, after Indonesia underwent a political revolution and allowed a referendum in East Timor to decide that territory's political future in August 1999. Most East Timorese chose independence, but Indonesian forces resisted that verdict until
       UN intervention in September 1999. Following UN rule for several years, East Timor attained full independence on 20 May 2002.
       Consolidation of Democracy, 1976-2000
       After several free elections and record voter turnouts between 25 April 1975 and June 1976, civil war was averted and Portugal's second democratic republic began to stabilize. The MFA was dissolved, the military were returned to the barracks, and increasingly elected civilians took over the government of the country. The 1976 Constitution was revised several times beginning in 1982 and 1989, in order to reempha-size the principle of free enterprise in the economy while much of the large, nationalized sector was privatized. In June 1976, General Ram-alho Eanes was elected the first constitutional president of the republic (five-year term), and he appointed socialist leader Dr. Mário Soares as prime minister of the first constitutional government.
       From 1976 to 1985, Portugal's new system featured a weak economy and finances, labor unrest, and administrative and political instability. The difficult consolidation of democratic governance was eased in part by the strong currency and gold reserves inherited from the Estado Novo, but Lisbon seemed unable to cope with high unemployment, new debt, the complex impact of the refugees from Africa, world recession, and the agitation of political parties. Four major parties emerged from the maelstrom of 1974-75, except for the Communist Party, all newly founded. They were, from left to right, the Communists (PCP); the Socialists (PS), who managed to dominate governments and the legislature but not win a majority in the Assembly of the Republic; the Social Democrats (PSD); and the Christian Democrats (CDS). During this period, the annual growth rate was low (l-2 percent), and the nationalized sector of the economy stagnated.
       Enhanced economic growth, greater political stability, and more effective central government as of 1985, and especially 1987, were due to several developments. In 1977, Portugal applied for membership in the European Economic Community (EEC), now the European Union (EU) since 1993. In January 1986, with Spain, Portugal was granted membership, and economic and financial progress in the intervening years has been significantly influenced by the comparatively large investment, loans, technology, advice, and other assistance from the EEC. Low unemployment, high annual growth rates (5 percent), and moderate inflation have also been induced by the new political and administrative stability in Lisbon. Led by Prime Minister Cavaco Silva, an economist who was trained abroad, the PSD's strong organization, management, and electoral support since 1985 have assisted in encouraging economic recovery and development. In 1985, the PSD turned the PS out of office and won the general election, although they did not have an absolute majority of assembly seats. In 1986, Mário Soares was elected president of the republic, the first civilian to hold that office since the First Republic. In the elections of 1987 and 1991, however, the PSD was returned to power with clear majorities of over 50 percent of the vote.
       Although the PSD received 50.4 percent of the vote in the 1991 parliamentary elections and held a 42-seat majority in the Assembly of the Republic, the party began to lose public support following media revelations regarding corruption and complaints about Prime Minister Cavaco Silva's perceived arrogant leadership style. President Mário Soares voiced criticism of the PSD's seemingly untouchable majority and described a "tyranny of the majority." Economic growth slowed down. In the parliamentary elections of 1995 and the presidential election of 1996, the PSD's dominance ended for the time being. Prime Minister Antônio Guterres came to office when the PS won the October 1995 elections, and in the subsequent presidential contest, in January 1996, socialist Jorge Sampaio, the former mayor of Lisbon, was elected president of the republic, thus defeating Cavaco Silva's bid. Young and popular, Guterres moved the PS toward the center of the political spectrum. Under Guterres, the PS won the October 1999 parliamentary elections. The PS defeated the PSD but did not manage to win a clear, working majority of seats, and this made the PS dependent upon alliances with smaller parties, including the PCP.
       In the local elections in December 2001, the PSD's criticism of PS's heavy public spending allowed the PSD to take control of the key cities of Lisbon, Oporto, and Coimbra. Guterres resigned, and parliamentary elections were brought forward from 2004 to March 2002. The PSD won a narrow victory with 40 percent of the votes, and Jose Durão Barroso became prime minister. Having failed to win a majority of the seats in parliament forced the PSD to govern in coalition with the right-wing Popular Party (PP) led by Paulo Portas. Durão Barroso set about reducing government spending by cutting the budgets of local authorities, freezing civil service hiring, and reviving the economy by accelerating privatization of state-owned enterprises. These measures provoked a 24-hour strike by public-sector workers. Durão Barroso reacted with vows to press ahead with budget-cutting measures and imposed a wage freeze on all employees earning more than €1,000, which affected more than one-half of Portugal's work force.
       In June 2004, Durão Barroso was invited by Romano Prodi to succeed him as president of the European Commission. Durão Barroso accepted and resigned the prime ministership in July. Pedro Santana Lopes, the leader of the PSD, became prime minister. Already unpopular at the time of Durão Barroso's resignation, the PSD-led government became increasingly unpopular under Santana Lopes. A month-long delay in the start of the school year and confusion over his plan to cut taxes and raise public-sector salaries, eroded confidence even more. By November, Santana Lopes's government was so unpopular that President Jorge Sampaio was obliged to dissolve parliament and hold new elections, two years ahead of schedule.
       Parliamentary elections were held on 20 February 2005. The PS, which had promised the electorate disciplined and transparent governance, educational reform, the alleviation of poverty, and a boost in employment, won 45 percent of the vote and the majority of the seats in parliament. The leader of the PS, José Sôcrates became prime minister on 12 March 2005. In the regularly scheduled presidential elections held on 6 January 2006, the former leader of the PSD and prime minister, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, won a narrow victory and became president on 9 March 2006. With a mass protest, public teachers' strike, and street demonstrations in March 2008, Portugal's media, educational, and social systems experienced more severe pressures. With the spreading global recession beginning in September 2008, Portugal's economic and financial systems became more troubled.
       Owing to its geographic location on the southwestern most edge of continental Europe, Portugal has been historically in but not of Europe. Almost from the beginning of its existence in the 12th century as an independent monarchy, Portugal turned its back on Europe and oriented itself toward the Atlantic Ocean. After carving out a Christian kingdom on the western portion of the Iberian peninsula, Portuguese kings gradually built and maintained a vast seaborne global empire that became central to the way Portugal understood its individuality as a nation-state. While the creation of this empire allows Portugal to claim an unusual number of "firsts" or distinctions in world and Western history, it also retarded Portugal's economic, social, and political development. It can be reasonably argued that the Revolution of 25 April 1974 was the most decisive event in Portugal's long history because it finally ended Portugal's oceanic mission and view of itself as an imperial power. After the 1974 Revolution, Portugal turned away from its global mission and vigorously reoriented itself toward Europe. Contemporary Portugal is now both in and of Europe.
       The turn toward Europe began immediately after 25 April 1974. Portugal granted independence to its African colonies in 1975. It was admitted to the European Council and took the first steps toward accession to the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1976. On 28 March 1977, the Portuguese government officially applied for EEC membership. Because of Portugal's economic and social backwardness, which would require vast sums of EEC money to overcome, negotiations for membership were long and difficult. Finally, a treaty of accession was signed on 12 June 1985. Portugal officially joined the EEC (the European Union [EU] since 1993) on 1 January 1986. Since becoming a full-fledged member of the EU, Portugal has been steadily overcoming the economic and social underdevelopment caused by its imperial past and is becoming more like the rest of Europe.
       Membership in the EU has speeded up the structural transformation of Portugal's economy, which actually began during the Estado Novo. Investments made by the Estado Novo in Portugal's economy began to shift employment out of the agricultural sector, which, in 1950, accounted for 50 percent of Portugal's economically active population. Today, only 10 percent of the economically active population is employed in the agricultural sector (the highest among EU member states); 30 percent in the industrial sector (also the highest among EU member states); and 60 percent in the service sector (the lowest among EU member states). The economically active population numbers about 5,000,000 employed, 56 percent of whom are women. Women workers are the majority of the workforce in the agricultural and service sectors (the highest among the EU member states). The expansion of the service sector has been primarily in health care and education. Portugal has had the lowest unemployment rates among EU member states, with the overall rate never being more than 10 percent of the active population. Since joining the EU, the number of employers increased from 2.6 percent to 5.8 percent of the active population; self-employed from 16 to 19 percent; and employees from 65 to 70 percent. Twenty-six percent of the employers are women. Unemployment tends to hit younger workers in industry and transportation, women employed in domestic service, workers on short-term contracts, and poorly educated workers. Salaried workers earn only 63 percent of the EU average, and hourly workers only one-third to one-half of that earned by their EU counterparts. Despite having had the second highest growth of gross national product (GNP) per inhabitant (after Ireland) among EU member states, the above data suggest that while much has been accomplished in terms of modernizing the Portuguese economy, much remains to be done to bring Portugal's economy up to the level of the "average" EU member state.
       Membership in the EU has also speeded up changes in Portuguese society. Over the last 30 years, coastalization and urbanization have intensified. Fully 50 percent of Portuguese live in the coastal urban conurbations of Lisbon, Oporto, Braga, Aveiro, Coimbra, Viseu, Évora, and Faro. The Portuguese population is one of the oldest among EU member states (17.3 percent are 65 years of age or older) thanks to a considerable increase in life expectancy at birth (77.87 years for the total population, 74.6 years for men, 81.36 years for women) and one of the lowest birthrates (10.59 births/1,000) in Europe. Family size averages 2.8 persons per household, with the strict nuclear family (one or two generations) in which both parents work being typical. Common law marriages, cohabitating couples, and single-parent households are more and more common. The divorce rate has also increased. "Youth Culture" has developed. The young have their own meeting places, leisure-time activities, and nightlife (bars, clubs, and discos).
       All Portuguese citizens, whether they have contributed or not, have a right to an old-age pension, invalidity benefits, widowed persons' pension, as well as payments for disabilities, children, unemployment, and large families. There is a national minimum wage (€385 per month), which is low by EU standards. The rapid aging of Portugal's population has changed the ratio of contributors to pensioners to 1.7, the lowest in the EU. This has created deficits in Portugal's social security fund.
       The adult literacy rate is about 92 percent. Illiteracy is still found among the elderly. Although universal compulsory education up to grade 9 was achieved in 1980, only 21.2 percent of the population aged 25-64 had undergone secondary education, compared to an EU average of 65.7 percent. Portugal's higher education system currently consists of 14 state universities and 14 private universities, 15 state polytechnic institutions, one Catholic university, and one military academy. All in all, Portugal spends a greater percentage of its state budget on education than most EU member states. Despite this high level of expenditure, the troubled Portuguese education system does not perform well. Early leaving and repetition rates are among the highest among EU member states.
       After the Revolution of 25 April 1974, Portugal created a National Health Service, which today consists of 221 hospitals and 512 medical centers employing 33,751 doctors and 41,799 nurses. Like its education system, Portugal's medical system is inefficient. There are long waiting lists for appointments with specialists and for surgical procedures.
       Structural changes in Portugal's economy and society mean that social life in Portugal is not too different from that in other EU member states. A mass consumption society has been created. Televisions, telephones, refrigerators, cars, music equipment, mobile phones, and personal computers are commonplace. Sixty percent of Portuguese households possess at least one automobile, and 65 percent of Portuguese own their own home. Portuguese citizens are more aware of their legal rights than ever before. This has resulted in a trebling of the number of legal proceeding since 1960 and an eight-fold increase in the number of lawyers. In general, Portuguese society has become more permissive and secular; the Catholic Church and the armed forces are much less influential than in the past. Portugal's population is also much more culturally, religiously, and ethnically diverse, a consequence of the coming to Portugal of hundreds of thousands of immigrants, mainly from former African colonies.
       Portuguese are becoming more cosmopolitan and sophisticated through the impact of world media, the Internet, and the World Wide Web. A prime case in point came in the summer and early fall of 1999, with the extraordinary events in East Timor and the massive Portuguese popular responses. An internationally monitored referendum in East Timor, Portugal's former colony in the Indonesian archipelago and under Indonesian occupation from late 1975 to summer 1999, resulted in a vote of 78.5 percent for rejecting integration with Indonesia and for independence. When Indonesian prointegration gangs, aided by the Indonesian military, responded to the referendum with widespread brutality and threatened to reverse the verdict of the referendum, there was a spontaneous popular outpouring of protest in the cities and towns of Portugal. An avalanche of Portuguese e-mail fell on leaders and groups in the UN and in certain countries around the world as Portugal's diplomats, perhaps to compensate for the weak initial response to Indonesian armed aggression in 1975, called for the protection of East Timor as an independent state and for UN intervention to thwart Indonesian action. Using global communications networks, the Portuguese were able to mobilize UN and world public opinion against Indonesian actions and aided the eventual independence of East Timor on 20 May 2002.
       From the Revolution of 25 April 1974 until the 1990s, Portugal had a large number of political parties, one of the largest Communist parties in western Europe, frequent elections, and endemic cabinet instability. Since the 1990s, the number of political parties has been dramatically reduced and cabinet stability increased. Gradually, the Portuguese electorate has concentrated around two larger parties, the right-of-center Social Democrats (PSD) and the left-of-center Socialist (PS). In the 1980s, these two parties together garnered 65 percent of the vote and 70 percent of the seats in parliament. In 2005, these percentages had risen to 74 percent and 85 percent, respectively. In effect, Portugal is currently a two-party dominant system in which the two largest parties — PS and PSD—alternate in and out of power, not unlike the rotation of the two main political parties (the Regenerators and the Historicals) during the last decades (1850s to 1880s) of the liberal constitutional monarchy. As Portugal's democracy has consolidated, turnout rates for the eligible electorate have declined. In the 1970s, turnout was 85 percent. In Portugal's most recent parliamentary election (2005), turnout had fallen to 65 percent of the eligible electorate.
       Portugal has benefited greatly from membership in the EU, and whatever doubts remain about the price paid for membership, no Portuguese government in the near future can afford to sever this connection. The vast majority of Portuguese citizens see membership in the EU as a "good thing" and strongly believe that Portugal has benefited from membership. Only the Communist Party opposed membership because it reduces national sovereignty, serves the interests of capitalists not workers, and suffers from a democratic deficit. Despite the high level of support for the EU, Portuguese voters are increasingly not voting in elections for the European Parliament, however. Turnout for European Parliament elections fell from 40 percent of the eligible electorate in the 1999 elections to 38 percent in the 2004 elections.
       In sum, Portugal's turn toward Europe has done much to overcome its backwardness. However, despite the economic, social, and political progress made since 1986, Portugal has a long way to go before it can claim to be on a par with the level found even in Spain, much less the rest of western Europe. As Portugal struggles to move from underde-velopment, especially in the rural areas away from the coast, it must keep in mind the perils of too rapid modern development, which could damage two of its most precious assets: its scenery and environment. The growth and future prosperity of the economy will depend on the degree to which the government and the private sector will remain stewards of clean air, soil, water, and other finite resources on which the tourism industry depends and on which Portugal's world image as a unique place to visit rests. Currently, Portugal is investing heavily in renewable energy from solar, wind, and wave power in order to account for about 50 percent of its electricity needs by 2010. Portugal opened the world's largest solar power plant and the world's first commercial wave power farm in 2006.
       An American documentary film on Portugal produced in the 1970s described this little country as having "a Past in Search of a Future." In the years after the Revolution of 25 April 1974, it could be said that Portugal is now living in "a Present in Search of a Future." Increasingly, that future lies in Europe as an active and productive member of the EU.

    SUBJECT AREA: Canals
    [br]
    b. 19 November 1805 Versailles, France
    d. 7 December 1894 La Chesnaye, near Paris, France
    [br]
    French diplomat and canal entrepreneur.
    [br]
    Ferdinand de Lesseps was born into a family in the diplomatic service and it was intended that his should be his career also. He was educated at the Lycée Napoléon in Paris. In 1825, aged 20, he was appointed an attaché to the French consulate in Lisbon. In 1828 he went to the Consulate-General in Tunis and in 1831 was posted from there to Egypt, becoming French Consul in Cairo two years later. For his work there during the plague in 1836 he was awarded the Croix de Chevalier in the Légion d'honneur. During this time he became very friendly with Said Mohammed and the friendship was maintained over the years, although there were no expectations then that Said would occupy any great position of authority.
    De Lesseps then served in other countries. In 1841 he had thought about a canal from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, and he brooded over the idea until 1854. In October of that year, having retired from the diplomatic service, he returned to Egypt privately. His friend Said became Viceroy and he readily agreed to the proposal to cut the canal. At first there was great international opposition to the idea, and in 1855 de Lesseps travelled to England to try to raise capital. Work finally started in 1859, but there were further delays following the death of Said Pasha in 1863. The work was completed in 1869 and the canal was formally opened by the Empress Eugenic on 20 November 1869. De Lesseps was fêted in France and awarded the Grand Croix de la Légion d'honneur.
    He subsequently promoted the project of the Corinth Canal, but his great ambition in his later years was to construct a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. This idea had been conceived by Spanish adventurers in 1514, but everyone felt the problems and cost would be too great. De Lesseps, riding high in popularity and with his charismatic character, convinced the public of the scheme's feasibility and was able to raise vast sums for the enterprise. He proposed a sea-level canal, which required the excavation of a 350 ft (107 m) cut through terrain; this eventually proved impossible, but work nevertheless started in 1881.
    In 1882 de Lesseps became first President d'-Honneur of the Syndicat des Entrepreneurs de Travaux Publics de France and was elected to the Chair of the French Academy in 1884. By 1891 the Panama Canal was in a disastrous financial crisis: a new company was formed, and because of the vast sums expended a financial investigation was made. The report led to de Lesseps, his son and several high-ranking government ministers and officials being charged with bribery and corruption, but de Lesseps was a very sick man and never appeared at the trial. He was never convicted, although others were, and he died soon after, at the age of 89, at his home.

    \ \ \ \ \ Предоставленный Вашему вниманию словарь призван способствовать взаимодействию между англо- и русскоязычными специалистами в области библиотечного дела и информатики. Данная работа содействует ознакомлению с профессиональной литературой на иностранном языке. Тем самым достигается одна из основных целей словаря — повышение взаимопонимания и сотрудничества между англо- и русскоязычными специалистами библиотечного и информационного дела.
    \ \ \ \ \ Данная работа преследует две задачи: первая — выявить и отобрать профессиональные термины на одном языке, вторая — перевести их. Мы стремились создать словарь, отвечающий нуждам библиотекарей, переводчиков, а также преподавателей и студентов библиотечно-информационных факультетов.
    \ \ \ \ \ "Англо-русский словарь библиотечно-информационных терминов" содержит слова и выражения, используемые в библиотечно-информационной сфере.
    \ \ \ \ \ В словарь включены термины из следующих смежных дисциплин: библиографии, книготорговли, графики, информационной науки и вычислительной техники, издательского и типографского дела, а также телекоммуникационной отрасли. Термины из смежных дисциплин отбирались в соответствии с их использованием в библиотековедении. В словарь намеренно не включены вышедшие из употребления термины и слэнг.
    \ \ \ \ \ Историческая заметка. Двуязычные словари создавались в России на протяжении долгого времени. Одними из первых появились русско-французские словари "Dictionnaire Moscovite", составленный Жаном Соважем (Jehan Sauvage) и "Dictionnaire des Moscovites", созданный Андре Теве (Andre Thevet). Оба словаря распространялись в рукописной форме около 1586 года. Первым опубликованным словарем был краткий 23-страничный словник церковнославянского языка "Лексис, сиречь речения вкратце собранны и из словенского языка на просты русский диялект истолкованы", составленный Лаврентием Зизанием (Вильна, 1596 г.). Первый англо-русский словарь "Новой словарь англиской и россшской" ("А New Dictionary, English Russian") (1784 г.) был составлен Прохором Ждановым для кадетов Санкт-Петербургского Морского Шляхетного Кадетского Корпуса. Он включал 4000 слов и выражений. Составленная в 1755 г. М. В. Ломоносовым первая грамматика современного русского языка способствовала усилиям по созданию такого рода словарей. Старейшая дошедшая до нашего времени русская грамматика, составленная немцем Г.В. Лудольфом, была опубликована в 1696 г. в Оксфорде.
    \ \ \ \ \ Проект создания настоящего словаря был задуман Ириной Б. Гореловой (Иваново, Россия), проходившей стажировку в Гарвардском университете по программе подготовки научных сотрудников. Марианна Тэкс Чолдин (Иллинойский университет) представила друг другу Ирину Горелову и Джона Ричардсона посредством электронной почты. Поэтому когда Джон Ричардсон посетил Москву осенью 1999 г., им пришлось организовать встречу, не зная друг друга в лицо. Уподобляясь герою шпионского детектива, Джон стоял посреди Красной площади в Москве, держа в руках выпуск "Library Quarterly" ("Библиотечный ежеквартальник", научный журнал по проблемам библиотековедения, издающийся один раз в квартал). Именно по этой примете Ирина должна была его опознать.
    \ \ \ \ \ Доктор наук Ричардсон получил грант на работу над данным проектом. Он нанял Елену Валиновскую (Санкт-Петербург) в качестве старшего редактора. В июне 1995 г., будучи студенткой Санкт-Петербургской государственной академии культуры, г-жа Валиновская составила Словарь Американского слэнга для студентов.
    \ \ \ \ \ В процессе работы над настоящим словарем она создала электронные файлы с терминами, основываясь на бумажной картотеке, полученной от Ирины Гореловой.
    \ \ \ \ \ Г-жа Валиновская также подобрала и перевела термины, начинающиеся с R и следующие за ней буквы. В течение 2000-2001 и 2001-2002 учебных годов Эльза Гусева была привлечена к работе над словарем в качестве редактора-консультанта. В этот период времени она была исследователем (стажером) в Калифорнийском университете в Лос-Анджелесе, работа в котором проводилась в рамках программы стажировки для научных сотрудников, осуществляемой под эгидой Государственного департамента США. Г-жа Гусева работает старшим преподавателем библиотечно-информационного факультета Московского государственного университета культуры и искусств. Инна Ильинская работала над словарем в качестве помощника редактора, одновременно обучаясь в двухгодичной магистратуре Калифорнийского университета в Лос-Анджелесе по специальности "библиотековедение и информационная наука".
    \ \ \ \ \ Подбор терминов и их перевод. Ирина Горелова, а затем руководитель проекта просмотрели многочисленные ресурсы на стадии составления предварительного перечня слов и выражений, пригодных для включения в словарь. (См. список использованных источников, которые могут быть просмотрены при выборе соответствующей гиперссылки. Начало словаря вплоть до буквы R во многом опирается на "Англо-русский библиотечно-библиографический словарь" (1958 г.) и "Англо-русский словарь книговедческих терминов" (1962 г.). Словарь "Bibliothekarishches Handworterbuch; Librarian's Dictionary; Настольный словарь библиотекаря" (1995 г.), составленный Британским Советом, заложил основу части словаря, начинающейся с буквы R.) Из предварительного перечня были отобраны термины, используемые американскими библиотекарями, которые, по нашему мнению, удовлетворят потребностям аудитории словаря. На последующем этапе помощник редактора проверял точность соответствия русских слов и выражений американским терминам.
    \ \ \ \ \ Мы полагаем, что база словаря удовлетворит возрастающий интерес русских специалистов к иностранной литературе по библиотечному делу и информатике. В настоящее время все большее количество иностранных слов и выражений со временем входит в число часто употребляемых слов русского языка.
    \ \ \ \ \ Заголовки словарных статей располагаются в строго алфавитном порядке. В словаре принято американское написание терминов. Авторы-составители словаря следовали правописанию слов и выражений, приведенному в электронной версии "Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary". Мы полагаем, что пользователи словаря, разговаривающие на британском варианте английского языка, смогут без труда найти соответствующие термины. Мы старались не включать словарные статьи, начинающиеся с предлогов. Предпочтение отдавалось статьям, начинающимся с существительных или в редких случаях с прилагательных.
    \ \ \ \ \ Термины были переведены в процессе дискуссий между членами редакционной коллегии. Перевод и толкования являются скорее описательными нежели предписательными. В случаях, когда в словарной статье приведены несколько русских терминов, соблюдены следующие правила: первый термин является исконно русским, а не просто транслитерированным с английского языка, другие термины перечислены в порядке частоты их использования.
    \ \ \ \ \ Многие заимствованные выражения относятся к технике, аппаратуре и устройствам; например, компьютер, мегабайт, модем, пейджер, принтер, тонер. Подобные термины зачастую транслитерированы на русский язык. Хотя такие понятия, как электронная почта (e-mail) также могли бы быть транслитерированы, согласно мнению Александра Исаевича Солженицына, высказанному им в 1995 г., этого не следует допускать.
    \ \ \ \ \ В словарь были включены синонимы, помеченные соответствующими ссылками (например, см. или см. также). Перекрестная ссылка см. также соединяет значения, предложенные для сравнения.
    \ \ \ \ \ Сопроводительные материалы. Как уже упомянуто выше, составители словаря использовали связующие и перекрестные ссылки. В добавление к этому в словарь включен список сокращений.
    \ \ \ \ \ Одна из новаторских особенностей электронных версий словаря, предназначенных для размещения в Интернете и для записи на CD-ROM, является звукозапись произношения терминов носителями языка. Джон Ричардсон, родившийся на Среднем Западе США, но говорящий с Калифорнийским акцентом, запишет термины на английском языке. Инна А. Ильинская записала русский перевод терминов, начинающихся на буквы А, В и С. Предварительная версия словаря расположена по адресу: http://purl.org/net/LIS-Terms.
    \ \ \ \ \ Создание словаря было бы невозможно без финансовой поддержки со стороны Научно-исследовательского отдела Онлайнового компьютерного библиотечного центра (в то время возглавляемого доктором наук Терри Нуроу (Dr. Terry Noreault)), а также гранта имени Харольда Ланкуара на международные исследования, предоставленного Бэта Фай Му (Beta Phi Mu); двух грантов, выделенных Советом по научным исследованиям при Калифорнийском университете в Лос-Анджелесе.
    \ \ \ \ \ Составитель и руководитель проекта словаря благодарит за помощь рецензентов доктора наук Роберта Бургера (Dr. Robert Burger) (Иллинойский университет в Урбане-Шампэйн, Славянская и восточноевропейская библиотека); доктора наук Чарльза Э. Гриббла (Dr. Charles Е. Gribble) (Государственный университет Огайо, Факультет славянских и восточноевропейских языков и литературы); доктора наук Ирину Л. Линден (Провиденс, Род Айланд; ранее работавшую в Американском центре в Санкт-Петербурге, Россия); Патрицию Полански (Ms. Patricia Polansky) (Гавайский университет в Маноа, Русский отдел библиотеки Гамильтона); доктора наук Брэдли Л. Шаффнера (Dr. Bradley L. Schaffner) (Канзасский университет, Славянский отдел библиотеки); доктора наук Якова Л. Шрайберга (Государственная публичная научно-техническая библиотека России, Москва). В работе над словарем также оказали большую помощь доктор наук Джэрри Бенуа (Dr. Gerry Benoit) (доцент Университета Кентукки); Ральф Лэван (Mr. Ralph Levan) (сотрудник Научно-исследовательского отдела Онлайнового компьютерного библиотечного центра); Дэна Вуд (Mr. Dana Wood) (Дэнасаунд, Лос-Анджелес). Главный редактор благодарит Келли Энн Колар (Ms. Kelly Ann Kolar) (Калифорнийский университет в Лос-Анджелесе, Факультет информатики) за помощь, оказанную при подготовке словаря к печати.
    \ \ \ \ \ Составитель и руководитель проекта надеется на то, что данная работа послужит для читателей современным, исчерпывающим и авторитетным источником по библиотечному делу и информатике. Можно согласиться с афоризмом Самуэля Джонсона, который сказал:
    \ \ \ \ \ "словари, точно часы; лучше иметь самые плохие часы, чем никаких, и в то же время нельзя рассчитывать на то, что лучшие часы будут абсолютно точны".
    \ \ \ \ \ Авторы-составители словаря с благодарностью примут отзывы, замечания и предложения.
    \ \ \ \ \ Лос-Анджелес, Калифорния, 7 октября 2003 года
    \
    \ \ \ \ \ Профессор Ричардсон является штатным профессором на кафедре информационных наук в Университете Калифорнии в Лос-Анджелосе, а также заместителем декана по работе с аспирантами в том же университете.
    \ \ \ \ \ Закончил Государственный университет штата Огайо по социологии в 1971 г., аспирантуру по библиотечным наукам в Университете Вандербильта (Пибоди Колледж) в 1972 г., и получил степень доктора в Университете штата Индиана в 1978 г.
    \ \ \ \ \ Профессор Ричардсон в первый раз был в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге весной 1996 г. как приглашенный исследователь Ассоциации библиотечных и информационных наук по гранту от Фонда Уилсона (Н. W. Wilson Foundation). Результаты этого визита описаны в статье "Библиотечное и информационное образование в России: опыт Санкт-Петербургской государственной академии культуры" ("Education for Library and Information Science in Russia: A Case Study of the St. Petersburg State Academy o f Culture"), напечатанной в журнале Journal of Education for Library and Information Science Education (зима 1998 г.).
    \ \ \ \ \ Заинтересовавшись Россией, профессор Ричардсон вернулся в страну летом 1997 г., чтобы написать статью "Начало библиотечного образования в СССР: роль Надежды Константиновны Крупской (1869-1939), Любови Борисовны Хавкиной-Хамбургер (1871-1949) и Генриетты Абеле-Дерман (1882-1954)" ("The Origin of Soviet Education for Librarianship: The Role of Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya (1869-1939), Lyubov' Borisovna Khavkina-Hamburger (1871-1949) and Genrietta К. Abele-Derman (1882-1954)"). Эта статья вышла в журнале Journal of Education for Library and Information Science (весна 2000 г.). Кроме этого, профессор Ричардсон описал свою работу в России в статье "Новые тенденции на Дальнем Востоке России: состояние библиотечного образования" ("Recent Developments in the Russian Far East: The State o f Education for Librarians hip"), которая вышла в том же журнале Journal o f Education for Library and Information Science (лето 2003 г.). Примерно в то же время Российская государственная библиотека предложила профессору Ричардсону участвовать в юбилейном томе по поводу 300-летней годовщины библиотеки, и он написал вышедшую в этом томе статью "Концептуализация американского справочно-библиографического обслуживания: настоящее, прошлое и будущее" (Справочно-библиографическое обслуживание: история, современное состояние и перспективы развития,2003).
    \ \ \ \ \ По возвращении в США в 1996 г. профессор Ричардсон был спонсором Программы по усовершенствованию младшего персонала (Госдепартамент США и Американский совет преподавателей русского языка), в которой в 2000/2001 учебном году в качестве стажера участвовала Е. Гусева (Московский государственный университет культуры и искусств). Профессор Ричардсон является координатором программы обмена между Университетом Калифорнии в Лос-Анджелосе и Санкт-Петербургским Государственным университетом культуры, позволившей двум русским студентам, Елене Валиновской и Инне Ильинской, обучаться в Университете Калифорнии в Лос-Анджелосе. При реализации программы "Открытый мир" (Библиотека Конгресса) профессор Ричардсон осуществлял организацию пребывания в США для выдающихся библиотечных работников из России (2003 и 2004 гг.).
    \ \ \ \ \ В последнее время профессор Ричардсон выполнял функции специалиста по анализу предлагаемых проектов для программы ФУЛБРАЙТ в России (Программы для приглашенных исследователей, 2004 г.).
    \ \ \ \ \ Благодаря грантам Госдепартамента США профессор Ричардсон также читал лекции на Дальнем Востоке России (Владивосток, Хабаровск, Сахалин, 2000 и 2003 гг.), а также в Эритрее (2003 г.), в Уганде (2001 г.) и в Замбии (2001 г.). Весной 2005 г. он получил стипендию для специалистов высшего звена в библиотечных науках для работы во Владивостокском государственном университете экономики и сервиса (ВГУЭС). Профессор Ричардсон провел около месяца на Дальнем Востоке России, устраивая семинары, читая мини-курс по виртуальным аспектам справочно-библиографического обслуживания, а также работая вместе с персоналом ВГУЭС над разработкой новой программы по информационным наукам.
    \
    \ \ \ \ \ Мне выпала большая честь представить российским и зарубежным специалистам "Англо-русский словарь по библиотечно-информационной деятельности", подготовленный группой американских и российских коллег под руководством профессора Джона Ричардсона
    \ \ \ \ \ (США) и выходящий под редакцией магистра библиотековедения В. В. Зверевича (Россия). Хотелось бы, прежде всего, от имени российских специалистов, которые готовили к печати настоящее издание, выразить нашу искреннюю благодарность за инициативу. Уверен, что издание Словаря окажется неожиданным сюрпризом для некоторых научных коллективов России — ведь идея подготовки Словаря, как говорится, "носилась в воздухе" уже несколько десятилетий. Но идеи оставались идеями, а словаря все не было.
    \ \ \ \ \ Зачем нам нужен "Англо-русский словарь по библиотечной и информационной деятельности"? Вопрос кажется риторическим, но, если подумать, становится понятно, что на него не так просто найти ответ.
    \ \ \ \ \ В дореволюционной России библиотекари, которые представляли наиболее образованный отряд интеллигенции, знали иностранные языки, читали, общались и переписывались со своими коллегами. Любовь Борисовна Хавкина (1871-1949) — основатель библиотечного образования в России (1913 г.), получила библиотечное образование в Германии, но свободно владела многими языками и еще в 1920-х гг. подготовила рукопись "Словари библиотечной и библиографических терминов. Англо-русский. Немецко-русский. Французско-русский. С приложением списка латинских терминов". Но в послереволюционные годы знание иностранных языков не поощрялось, и особой нужды в языковых словарях (тем более профессиональных) не испытывалось. Словарь Л. Б. Хавкиной был опубликован лишь в 1952 г., уже после ее смерти.
    \ \ \ \ \ В социалистическом обществе, на той стадии его развития, когда мы были отгорожены от стран Европы и Америки "железным занавесом", словари были нужны прежде всего узкому кругу специалистов, занимающихся изучением "зарубежного опыта". Это, как правило, были филологи, свободно владеющие английским языком. Отбиралась и переводилась на русский язык литература, в первую очередь, по идеологическим соображениям, та, которая была понятна непрофессионалам.
    \ \ \ \ \ Преподавание иностранного языка в "рабоче-крестьянской" школе оставляло желать лучшего. Хорошо помню, как учительница английского и немецкого языков часто говорила нам на уроках: "Вам никогда не увидеть в своей жизни ни одного иностранца!" Некоторый перелом наступил лишь в конце 1950-х гг.: появилась система органов научно-технической информации.
    \ \ \ \ \ И тут выяснилось, что библиотекари не знают языков и не могут взять на себя новые функции. Так повелось с давних пор: в крупных библиотеках нашей страны были созданы "Отделы литературы на иностранных языках" со своими фондами и даже со своими каталогами, работали в них не библиотекари, а дипломированные учителя иностранных языков.
    \ \ \ \ \ А "международные связи"? Разве наша страна не участвовала в работе ИФЛА, ИСО и других международных организаций? Нет, конечно, участвовала — если наш специалист знал язык и подготовил доклад, то мог претендовать на поездку. Но пускали не всех. Не пустили, например, свободно владеющего несколькими языками индексатора Книжной летописи ВКП Николая Валериановича Русинова (1873-1940) на Первый всемирный конгресс по библиотечному делу и библиографии (Рим—Венеция, 1929 г.) — показался неблагонадежным, да и доклад был не совсем понятным — "Об индексации Книжной летописи".
    \ \ \ \ \ Доклады переводились квалифицированными переводчиками, которых с годами становилось все меньше и меньше. Вспоминаю, как в середине 1980-х гг. Нина Яковлевна Рыбак (1924-1997?), мастер письменного перевода, человек удивительной судьбы, признавалась мне, что 70% докладов российской делегации "проходят" через ее рабочий стол, заваленный словарями.
    \ \ \ \ \ Странно, но живя в этой обстановке "идеологического противодействия" наши специалисты, как оказалось, знали зарубежную теорию и практику гораздо лучше, чем коллеги в других странах — о том, что делается в России. Каким же образом? Читали литературу. Старались общаться с теми библиотекарями, которые посещали нашу страну. Углубляли знание языка.
    \ \ \ \ \ С годами "читающей публики" становилось все больше и больше. Больно говорить о том, что издание известного сборника "Библиотековедение и библиография за рубежом" прекратилось на вып. 138-139. Сорок лет (1958-1997 гг.) он был, по сути дела, единственным изданием подобной тематики в мире! Всероссийская библиотека иностранной литературы продолжает издавать сборники "Библиотеки за рубежом". У нас опубликованы десятки монографий о библиотеках зарубежных стран. Назовем для примера: "Библиотеки и библиотечное дело США: комплексный подход" (коллектив авторов, два издания, 1991-1993 гг.), "Библиотековедческие и информационные исследования в США"
    \ \ \ \ \ Г. В. Варгановой (2002 г.), "Библиотечное обслуживание детей и юношества: американский опыт" (коллектив авторов, 2004 г.). Соединенным Штатам Америки "повезло" более всего: можно было бы назвать несколько десятков отдельных изданий, сотни статей. (Так и хочется спросить американцев: а что у вас есть о России?)
    \ \ \ \ \ В советском обществе — об этом сегодня стараются забыть — у библиотек не было проблем с финансированием комплектования фондов. Мы получали — и сегодня получаем, но с каким трудом! — десятки, если Не сотни названий периодики из зарубежных стран. Ежегодно в Кабинет библиотековедения Государственной библиотеки СССР им. В. И. Ленина (ныне — Российская государственная библиотека) поступали сотни изданий из многих стран мира. Благодаря Л. Б. Хавкиной в этой библиотеке собиралась коллекция библиотечной периодики США и Великобритании — с самых первых номеров (например, Library Journal — с 1876 г.).
    \ \ \ \ \ Понятно, что с годами все больше внимания мы обращали на то, что преподавание английского специального, профессионального языка поставлено у нас плохо, специальная терминология изучается только на занятиях аспирантов. Очень часто преподают лица с филологическим образованием, не знающие глубоко предмета.
    \ \ \ \ \ Так рождаются учебники и пособия по "библиотечному английскому", в которых много английского, но почти нет ничего библиотечного. Материалы учебных заданий тематически охватывают лишь проблемы истории книги и библиотечного дела, психологии чтения, немного книговедения, немного библиотековедения (в основном, типологию библиотек). Главное — найти "более или менее понятную" (для преподавателя) статью для проведения учебных занятий по традиционной методике. Находят и изучают: об Александрийской библиотеке, о Британском музее и Библиотеке Конгресса.
    \ \ \ \ \ Специальной тематики, например, каталогизации и классификации (не говоря о компьютеризации или форматах) такие преподаватели боятся как огня...
    \ \ \ \ \ Между тем в последние годы в десятки раз возрос поток библиотекарей нашей страны, выезжающих за рубеж на стажировки, участвующих в работе различных международных и национальных конференций. Многие привозят с собой интересные издания. Хочется, чтобы о них знали. Проще всего опубликовать перевод. Возросло число изданий переводов профессиональной литературы, в первую очередь с английского языка. Считается, что каждый, знающий язык, может заняться переводческой работой. Проблемы с библиотечной тематикой?
    \ \ \ \ \ Так ведь это не молекулярная биология, не порошковая металлургия и не высшая алгебра... Элементарный, на первый взгляд, текст. Многим из переводчиков и в голову не приходит, что библиотекари пользуются специальным языком, обладающим весьма специфической системой терминов и понятий. Берутся за перевод, не зная о том, что есть (и немало) специальные словари библиотечной и книговедческой лексики.
    \ \ \ \ \ Качество профессионального перевода в последние годы снизилось. Квалифицированные переводчики, свободно владеющие английским (и блестяще русским, что очень важно при синхронном переводе), стали "штучным товаром". Что говорить, если их всего несколько, мы видим и слышим их на всех конференциях и совещаниях. А те, которые изучали язык в целом, чаще всего переводят как придется. Не зная, например, реалий американской библиотечной практики, переводчик видит "слова", а не эквивалентные им понятия.
    \ \ \ \ \ В принципе, наверное, вовсе не обязательно было заканчивать библиотечный вуз, чтобы разбираться в библиотечном деле, в библиотечной теории и практике.
    \ \ \ \ \ Не имели базового библиотечного образования ни Татьяна Петровна Елизаренкова (1900-1968), ни Михаил Хачатурович Сарингулян (1926-1997), но их словарями мы пользуемся и сейчас.
    \ \ \ \ \ Инициатива создания "Словаря книговедческих терминов" принадлежала Борису Петровичу Каневскому (1922-1991), заведующему отделом иностранного комплектования и международного книгообмена Государственной библиотеки СССР им. В. И. Ленина. Сам Б. П. Каневский отлично владел библиотечным английским, многие годы работал с литературой, постоянно переписывался и общался с коллегами. В ответ на простой вопрос о значении того или иного термина, он мог прочитать целую лекцию, объясняя попутно многие реалии англо-американской библиотечной практики.
    \ \ \ \ \ По предложению Б. П. Каневского один из сотрудников его отдела — М. X. Сарингулян в послевоенные годы начал вести картотеку терминов, анализируя широкий спектр литературы — не только библиотечной и библиографической, но также и по многим смежным областям. Более десяти лет велся учет всей лексики из книг и периодики. "Англо-русский библиотечно-библиографический словарь" М. X. Сарингуляна выпустило издательство Всесоюзной книжной палаты в 1958 г. тиражом 10 тыс. экземпляров. Это — удивительный труд, сохраняющий свое значение и сегодня. В словаре (с. 7-202) объяснено свыше 11 тыс. терминов и понятий, очень богато представлены сокращения (с. 203-232), даны справочные таблицы перевода римских цифр в арабские, английских мер, градусов Фаренгейта и Цельсия, типографских пунктов. Но самым ценным были "Иллюстрации" — несколько сот рисунков, иллюстрирующих те или иные реалии языка. Вскоре после издания словаря М. X. Сарингулян был приглашен на работу в Министерство внешней торговли и многие десятилетия провел в зарубежных командировках. Он рассказал мне (так получилось, что мы жили в одном доме), что огромная картотека оставалась в библиотеке, но разыскать ее уже не удалось.
    \ \ \ \ \ В те же годы продолжала собирать и систематизировать нашу профессиональную лексику Т. П. Елизаренкова, преподаватель, заведующая кафедрой иностранных языков Московского библиотечного института. Здесь в научной библиотеке находилась вторая часть коллекции Кабинета библиотековедения. В 1933-1934 гг. его фонды разделились; часть была перевезена из центра Москвы, так как Библиотечный институт переезжал в предоставленное ему здание на Левобережной. Т. П. Елизаренкова, профессиональный лингвист, первая обратила внимание на то, что термины, широко используемые в англо-американской библиотечной литературе, представляют большие трудности для перевода и понимания.
    \ \ \ \ \ В принципе перевести их не так уж сложно, но при этом легко теряется смысл понятий. Т. П. Елизаренкова стала глубоко изучать не только язык, но и библиотечное дело.
    \ \ \ \ \ В своей кандидатской диссертации она одной из первых проанализировала зарубежный опыт библиотечного образования. К сожалению, не все ее материалы оказались опубликованными. В 1962 г. вышел из печати ее главный труд — "Англо-русский словарь библиотечных терминов". Ей помогала в работе группа специалистов, среди которых был и профессор Евгений Иванович Шамурин (1889-1962), автор толкового "Словаря книговедческих терминов" (1958 г.). В числе консультантов была и Александра Яковлевна Кушуль (1907-1985), которая обогатила лексику словаря классификационной терминологией. Небольшой тираж (6 тыс. экз.) быстро превратил словарь в исключительную библиографическую редкость.
    \ \ \ \ \ В 1969 г. вышел в свет небольшой (9300 терминов) "Русско-английский словарь книговедческих терминов" Т. П. Елизаренковой под редакцией Б. П. Каневского.
    \ \ \ \ \ В 1962 г. в нашей стране появилось в продаже удивительное издание — "Vocabularium bibliothecarii" — объемистая книга (627 с.), изданная ЮНЕСКО. Работа над "Словарем библиотекаря" была начата в конце 1930-х гг., но война прервала ее. С 1949 г. рукопись оказалась в руках Энтони Томпсона, "удивительного англичанина и интернационального библиотекаря", как называли его в ИФЛА. Действительно, Э. Томпсон всю свою жизнь проработал в международных библиотечных организациях. Начиная работу над первоначально накопленным массивом, он занялся систематизацией лексики и в итоге принял решение сделать словарь-полиглот, взяв за основу расположения терминов систематический порядок — по индексам УДК, не зависящим от алфавита какого-либо одного языка.
    \ \ \ \ \ Первое издание словаря (1953 г.) содержало терминологию на английском, немецком и французском языках. Для представления лексики на русском языке был приглашен профессор Е. И. Шамурин, прекрасно владеющий европейскими языками. В 1960 г. А. Томпсон побывал в Москве, встречался здесь с Е. И. Шамуриным и Т. П. Елизаренковой. Русские термины согласовывались с соответствующими терминами на трех языках.
    \ \ \ \ \ Второе издание словаря вышло в 1962 г. и содержало термины уже на пяти языках. Пятая, испанская часть, оказалась гораздо слабее русской, так как представляла, по сути дела, лишь перевод с французского. Э. Томпсон продолжал работу над "Словарем библиотекаря" до самой своей смерти в 1979 г., последовательно обогащая набор языков и развивая состав лексики.
    \ \ \ \ \ Мы рассказали об изданиях 1950-1960-х гг. С тех пор наша терминосистема выросла в объеме, вобрала в себя огромное количество понятий информатики и вычислительной техники и, переработав их в своих целях, создала совершенно новый пласт лексики, не отраженной пока ни в одном словаре. Только Шиали Рамамрита Ранганатан (1892-1970) подарил библиотековедению сотни новых терминов, сложных для понимания уже потому, что большая их часть относится к абстрактным понятиям. Работа над словарем Ш. Р. Ранганатана на протяжении многих лет продолжалась Т. П. Елизаренковой совместно с А. Я. Кушуль. Часть словаря опубликована в приложении к русскому переводу "Классификации двоеточием", изданному ГПНТБ СССР в 1970 г. В конце 1960-х гг. мне посчастливилось принимать участие в этой работе (Т. П. Елизаренкова и А. Я. Кушуль были моими преподавателями в студенческие годы). Предполагалось издать словарь Ш. Р. Ранганатана в полном виде, но в ГПНТБ СССР тема была закрыта. А. Я. Кушуль до самой смерти продолжала работать над освоением терминологии фасетного анализа и синтеза. Многие термины введены ею в публикациях, посвященных Классификационной исследовательской группе в Великобритании, материалы которой она получала непосредственно из Лондона от Дугласа Фоскетта (1918-2004), директора Библиотеки Университетского колледжа (University College) в Лондоне. А. Я. Кушуль внесла огромный вклад в развитие нашей терминосистемы.
    \ \ \ \ \ Мир современной библиотеки необыкновенно расширился. Наряду с традиционными столами, стульями и каталожными шкафами, появились сотни новых предметов мебели и оборудования, каких-то приспособлений, принадлежностей, устройств... Все они имеют свои собственные названия на английском языке, но мы не всегда знаем их точные эквиваленты. Мы оказываемся беспомощными, взяв в руки известный во всем мире торговый каталог библиотечного оборудования американской фирмы Гэйлорд (Gaylord) — тысячи названий, аналогов которым в русском языке нет. Как это перевести? Многие об этом и не задумываются.
    \ \ \ \ \ Доказывая (в последние годы — неоднократно) положение о необходимости нового англо-русского словаря, я всегда исходил из того, что это должна быть коллективная работа специалистов России и англоязычных стран.
    \ \ \ \ \ Мы исходили из того, что в стране накоплен определенный опыт.
    \ \ \ \ \ Мы располагаем тремя изданиями толкового "Словаря библиотечных терминов", сыгравшего колоссальную роль в упорядочении нашей терминосистемы.
    \ \ \ \ \ 1990-е гг. были важным этапом в развитии стандартизации терминологии. В рамках Системы стандартов по информации, библиотечному и издательскому делу (СИБИД) были пересмотрены и дополнены ранее утвержденные терминологические стандарты, при этом удалось решить проблемы согласования терминосистем научно-информационной деятельности, библиографии и библиотечного дела. Сегодня общее количество стандартизованных терминов в границах СИБИД приближается к девяти сотням. Стандартизированная терминология в нашей стране лежит в основе законов, положений и инструкций. Ее надо выполнять.
    \ \ \ \ \ В 1992 г. вышел в свет толковый словарь "Современная каталогизационная терминология" Т. А. Бахтуриной и Э. Р. Сукиасяна (около 600 терминов с эквивалентами на английском, немецком, французском языках).
    \ \ \ \ \ В 1986 г. ВИНИТИ опубликовал уникальное пособие, выполненное по поручению Международной федерации по документации (FID 650) — "Терминологическое пособие по теории и методике применения УДК".
    \ \ \ \ \ Подобного издания не было раньше в мировой практике. Под одной обложкой собралось пять идентичных друг другу книжек на русском, английском, немецком, испанском и итальянском языках с систематическим расположением материала (около 400 терминов и понятий) и двумя указателями: алфавитным и в графической форме.
    \ \ \ \ \ В 1998 г. Т. А. Жуплатова в Самарской областной библиотеке завершила колоссальную работу по объединению лексики словарей М. X. Сарингуляна и Т. П. Елизаренковой. Подготовленный ею по гранту "Англо-русский и русско-английский словарь по библиотечному делу" был на время размещен в Интернете. По ходу работы выяснилось, что наша профессиональная лексика почти полностью отражена в "больших" (трехтомных) словарях (англо-русском и русско-английском), опубликованных в Москве в 1997 г.
    \ \ \ \ \ В 1990 г. по инициативе директора ГПНТБ России, главного редактора сборника "Научные и технические библиотеки" А. И. Земскова в сборнике был открыт дискуссионный клуб "Термин". В первой публикации (№ 5) был рассмотрен сложный для понимания термин peer review. Участники клуба обсудили проблемы заимствования и написания англоязычных терминов, обсудили содержание понятий оцифровка (оцифровывание), виртуальная — электронная библиотека, электронный каталог, термины и понятия, связанные с типологией электронных ресурсов, термины outsourcing, управление знаниями — экология знаний. Прошла интересная дискуссия "Документ — информация и/или носитель" (в ней выступили известные ученые И. Г. Моргенштерн и Ю. Н. Столяров).
    \ \ \ \ \ В библиотечную практику активно внедряется терминология компьютерных технологий. Процесс протекает настолько бурно, что Ф.С. Воройскому пришлось после выхода первого издания своего словаря сразу же готовить второе, а затем третье: "Информатика. Новый систематизированный толковый словарь-справочник.
    \ \ \ \ \ Введение в современные информационные и телекоммуникационные технологии в терминах и фактах" (2003 г.), объясняющего 16 тыс. терминов. Алфавитный указатель англоязычных терминов и аббревиатур занимает в нем с. 705-755 (в две колонки). Благодаря словарю-справочнику Ф. С. Воройского специалисты смогли освободить полки от десятка словарей по информатике, вычислительной технике и программированию.
    \ \ \ \ \ Вопросам терминологии в профессиональной печати посвящена масса статей и публикаций. Многие из них связаны с текущими проектами, реализуемыми в стране. В России переводились и издавались Описания и Руководства по использованию форматов MARC 21 и UNIMARC, Десятичная классификация Дьюи и Универсальная десятичная классификация, подготавливаются соответствующие практические пособия. Классификационная терминология активно развивается и в связи с выпуском очередных изданий Библиотечно-библиографической классификации — Национальной классификационной системы России. С середины 1990-х гг. в сотрудничестве со специалистами Библиотеки Конгресса последовательно проводится работа по гармонизации национальных Правил составления библиографического описания с англо-американскими правилами каталогизации. Завершается работа над Российскими правилами каталогизации. В последние годы активно развивается терминология, связанная с библиографическим описанием (ISBD, FRBR). Пересматриваются государственные стандарты. Все новое быстро становится известным широкому кругу специалистов по публикациям в печати.
    \ \ \ \ \ Благодаря программе "Открытый мир" в 2003-2004 гг. сотни российских библиотекарей впервые имели возможность познакомиться с библиотеками США.
    \ \ \ \ \ Они привезли с собой не только впечатления, но и новые термины и понятия, о которых рассказали в своих публикациях. Специализированные российские группы ежегодно посещают США, участвуют в работе ежегодных конференций Американской библиотечной ассоциации. Отдельные специалисты направляются для изучения американской практики по узким вопросам (обслуживание инвалидов, форматы и пр.). Как правило, они возвращаются с документами, обработка которых также связана с терминологическими проблемами.
    \ \ \ \ \ Мне, например, был подарен в Библиотеке Конгресса полный комплект документов (весом в полтора десятка килограмм), связанных с деятельностью кадровой службы и системой повышения квалификации: конечно, многое отразилось в публикациях, но часть не обработана до сих пор.
    \ \ \ \ \ Замечено, что чем выше квалификация направленного в США специалиста, тем значительней оказывается эффективность поездки в целом. Сейчас в США уже в третий раз поехала Т. В. Еременко. К высшему библиотечному образованию (МГИК, 1980) она добавила ученые степени кандидата педагогических наук (МГИК, 1992) и магистра библиотечной и информационной науки (Симонс-колледж (Simmons College), Бостон, Массачусетс, США, 2000). Результаты двух продолжительных стажировок позволили ей написать две монографии — "Современные информационные технологии в университетских библиотеках США" (2002 г.) и
    \ \ \ \ \ "Информатизация вузовских библиотек в России и США: сравнительный анализ" (2003 г.). Перед отъездом Т. В. Еременко защитила докторскую диссертацию.
    \ \ \ \ \ Она изучает практику работы университетских библиотек США с Reserve collection (о том, как трудно нам понять этот термин, мы скажем ниже).
    \ \ \ \ \ Думаю, что знакомство с состоянием терминологической работы в России окажется "новым знанием" для тех, кто находится в Америке.
    \ \ \ \ \ Словарь публикуется в России. Издательство поручило редактирование полученной из США рукописи квалифицированному российскому специалисту — В. В. Зверевичу, имеющему как отечественное, так и американское библиотечное образование, магистру библиотековедения (Университет Святого Джона (St. John's University), Нью-Йорк, США, 1995), прекрасно знающему язык и американскую библиотечную практику. К работе в качестве консультанта привлекли и меня. Пришлось, прежде всего, сверить всю терминологию со стандартами и внести немало исправлений. Например, в конце 1970-х гг. мы изменили словоупотребление: вместо "централизованная классификация" стали говорить правильно: централизованная систематизация (соответственно, centralized classification).
    \ \ \ \ \ "Bookmobile" мы давно переводим как "библиобус". Поэтому не надо объяснять, что это "передвижная библиотека" или библиотека-автомобиль. Термин передвижная библиотека у нас есть, но она никуда не "передвигается" на автомобиле. О том, как этот термин перевести на английский, надо будет подумать при составлении русско-английского словаря.
    \ \ \ \ \ Труднее всего было редактировать перевод, если аналога у нас пока нет. Например, booth, carrel — это синонимы или есть отличия? Нет у нас копировальных машин, которыми могут пользоваться сами читатели, купив карточку для оплаты. Поэтому термин card-operated, photocopier приходится не переводить, а объяснять.
    \ \ \ \ \ Нет у нас пока и упомянутых Reserve collections. Понять, что это такое, сложно. Ясно, что это фонд. Подняв свои записи наблюдений (в Университете Ратгерс (Rutgers University), Нью-Брунсуик, Нью-Джерси, США, например) и соединив их с объяснениями Т. В. Еременко, я понял, что эти "коллекции" существуют как в электронном виде (хранятся на сервере академической библиотеки), так и в традиционном виде, являясь при этом составной частью фонда академической библиотеки.
    \ \ \ \ \ При наличии электронной резервной коллекции у каждого профессора есть возможность в часы лекций или консультаций дать соответствующие адреса с комментариями. Пользоваться студенты могут когда угодно и где угодно, везде, если есть вход в Интранет (например, в общежитии). И учебники, и учебные материалы, и контрольные работы, и методические пособия — все здесь есть. Профессор Библиотечной школы в Университете Ратгерс, консультируя при мне студентов из Юго-Восточной Азии, сразу же распечатывал для них некоторые материалы из Reserve collection и тут же, на полях, ставил свои "нота-бене", подчеркивал термины и пр. В традиционной "резервной коллекции" читатели получают материал только в пределах специального читального зала на срок обычно не более 2-3 часов. Преподаватели сами формируют фонд "резервной коллекции" (как традиционной, так и электронной) в части своего курса и иногда предоставляют для нее личные экземпляры (книги, ксерокопии статей, CD-диски и др.).
    \ \ \ \ \ "Резервная коллекция" является частью фонда академической библиотеки, но не каталогизируется. Что с этим делать? Перевести калькой ("резервная коллекция")? Мы сделали именно так. Будет ли это понятно?
    \ \ \ \ \ Ответ на этот вопрос мы попробовали дать в Словаре.
    \ \ \ \ \ С этой целью мы дали развернутое объяснение сущности, форм и способов функционирования резервных коллекций в академических библиотеках в США.
    \ \ \ \ \ Technical services. Если сохранить перевод, который мы получили в рукописи ("отделение технических служб"), то для нас это: гараж, слесарная и столярная мастерская, сантехники и электрики, даже не ВЦ (попробовал бы кто-нибудь назвать наших программистов "техническими службами"). Перевести нельзя, приходится пояснять, например, так: "Ряд подразделений библиотеки, ответственных за комплектование и обработку поступающих в фонды документов (в том числе каталогизацию и ведение СБА), в совокупности называемых "техническими службами", в отличие от подразделений, непосредственно связанных с обслуживанием читателей и осуществляющих административные функции".
    \ \ \ \ \ Не сдают у нас книги "в ящик"! Поэтому русскому библиотекарю (и читателю) не всегда понятен термин book return box или bookdrop (что то же самое). Книги можно "сдать" таким образом только в том случае, если в библиотеке работает система автоматической регистрации. Есть термин, который перевести еще труднее: если ящик находится за стеной, то на стене остается лишь щель, прорезь, в которую надо "сдавать" библиотечные материалы.
    \ \ \ \ \ Иногда очень трудно размежевать значения. Так, в России уже на протяжении четверти века не принято говорить о классификации, как о процессе. Мы, в соответствии с терминологическим стандартом, в этом случае применяем термин систематизация. Есть в английском языке полный эквивалент? Есть — classifying. Тем не менее в речи, и, что еще хуже, в литературе сплошь и рядом для обозначения процесса применяют classification. Приходится во всех случаях разбираться: analytical classification может переводиться и как аналитическая классификационная система, и как аналитическая систематизация.
    \ \ \ \ \ В России принят термин Шифр хранения документа. В англоязычной практике ему соответствует два разных термина: Call number — если шифр хранения документа написан на бланке требования, и Book number, когда он нанесен на сам документ, помещен на ярлычке (на верхней крышке переплета, корешке или на футляре).
    \ \ \ \ \ В нашей стране, как и в англоязычных странах, многие годы Author tables переводили как "авторские таблицы". Специалисты рекомендовали более правильный вариант таблицы авторских знаков, который за несколько десятилетий стало нормой словоупотребления.
    \ \ \ \ \ У нас нет устоявшегося эквивалента для Computer science (переводят как кому показалось правильным). Компьютерной науки нет, есть техника и технология производства, эксплуатации, ремонта компьютеров. В основе же лежит или прикладная математика, или вычислительная техника (здесь снова техника, а не наука), или программирование.
    \ \ \ \ \ Все, наверное, уже знают, что Academic library — не "академическая библиотека", а библиотека высшего учебного заведения. Важно отметить, что так же переводятся и производные от academic, например, academic publication — не "академическое издание", а университетское издание.
    \ \ \ \ \ Librarian (в тексте с прописной буквы) — не "библиотекарь", а директор библиотеки (при этом название библиотеки часто опускается: Librarian of Congress — директор Библиотеки Конгресса, University Librarian — директор университетской библиотеки, Branch Librarian — заведующий филиалом). Это важное отличие от отечественной практики. Отсутствующее в нашем словаре понятие officer (обычно уточняется функция, например, stock development officer) переводится, конечно, не "офицер", а специалист.
    \ \ \ \ \ В России отсутствует понятие "парапрофессионал". Раз эквивалента нет, в словаре пришлось дать развернутое пояснение: Paraprofessional librarian — библиотекарь, не получивший диплом о профессиональном образовании, но обученный выполнять обязанности профессионального библиотекаря, "(...соответственно, Paraprofessional librarian position — библиотечная должность, не требующая наличия диплома о профессиональном образовании, занимать которую могут специально обученные, но не дипломированные библиотекари...)" Понятие, как мы видим, нужное: парапрофессионалов у нас очень много, сомнительно только, применим ли для всех критерий "специально обученные".
    \ \ \ \ \ Сложности у нас возникают и с термином, казалось бы, понятным: Cataloging. Каталогизация имеет узкое (только составление библиографического описания) и широкое значение (работа с каталогами в целом). В России — стандартизировано в широком. Судя по американским словарям, там — аналогичная практика. Но почему тогда англо-американские правила составления библиографического описания (в крайнем случае — формирования библиографической записи) называются широко — правилами каталогизации? Почему известный и многократно переиздававшийся учебник называется "Introduction to Cataloging and Classification"? Разве у них classification не входит в cataloging?
    \ \ \ \ \ И мы пошли по тому же пути, выпуская Российские правила каталогизации. Правда, обещаем исправить ситуацию: одна из частей будет посвящена индексированию.
    \ \ \ \ \ OPAC для России — просто Электронный каталог. В его определение (по ГОСТу) входят все признаки — и "онлайновость", и общедоступность. Но этого не знают наши коллеги за рубежом. Между тем все "закрытые" машиночитаемые каталоги, доступ к которым ревностно охраняют библиографы, не более, как электронные базы данных (или по форме — машиночитаемые каталоги).
    \ \ \ \ \ Сложно ввести в специальный словарь ряд терминов и понятий словаря Ранганатана — слишком многие термины пришлось бы давать с пояснениями. В словаре остались лишь те термины, которые широко применяются в повседневной практике. В России используются парные термины, например: фасетная классификация — аналитико-синтетическая классификационная система, фасетная формула — классификационная формула и т. п.
    \ \ \ \ \ Нас очень смущает наличие терминов, которые мы переводим одними и теми же словами (как бы синонимов), имеющих, как нам кажется, свою семантическую окраску. Приведем классические случаи: checking, retrieval, search, которые переводятся как разыскание, поиск; stock и collection — как фонд; enquiry (inquiry) и request — как запрос; borrow, lending, loan, circulation — как (книго)выдача, абонемент. Список можно продолжить. Понятно, что все они входят в состав устойчивых словосочетаний, у каждого есть своя "область применения". Нюансы объяснить смогут только американцы, обладающие, к тому же, чувством языка. Выход у нас один: работать надо вместе!
    \ \ \ \ \ Выход "Англо-русского словаря по библиотечной и информационной деятельности" — важный, быть может, начальный этап многотрудной и многолетней работы. Составители в полной мере сознают, что в ходе работы могли быть допущены пропуски и ошибки. Всех проблем первое издание Словаря не решит — и не может решить. Пока шла работа, появились, например, "Франкфуртские принципы", содержащие огромный пласт новой крайне необходимой терминологии.
    \ \ \ \ \ Редакторы успели лишь немного дополнить Словарь — по тем публикациям, содержащим русские эквиваленты, которые успели выйти. Мы проверили весь список: около 70 терминов в словарь не попали. Перевести можно, но утвердятся ли предложенные нами "слова" в качестве терминов русского языка? Торопливость здесь может стать помехой...
    \ \ \ \ \ В Словаре есть только два "Международных номера" — ISBN и ISSN. А есть ли еще на сегодня? Да, такая информация есть, на русском языке она, как нам кажется, пока не опубликована. Поэтому для любознательных перечислим лишь аббревиатуры: ISMN, IRSC, ISFN, ISRN, ISAN.
    \ \ \ \ \ Как представлена в Словаре терминология упомянутого нами пособия по УДК? Сверили одну букву А. Результат: 12 терминов отсутствует (из 41).
    \ \ \ \ \ Осталось открыть предметный указатель к лежащему рядом каталогу компании Gaylord...
    \ \ \ \ \ Подумаем: язык — живая, развивающаяся во времени и пространстве материя. Словарь — лишь модель, некая попытка отразить все многообразие жизни. А если речь идет о двух богатых по составу языках народов, живущих на разных континентах?
    \ \ \ \ \ Этот Словарь — первый, сделанный в XXI веке.
    \ \ \ \ \ Пусть он покажет нам, что работать надо вместе, как бы это не казалось проблематичным. У нас есть необходимые предпосылки для совместной работы; мы даже обладаем рядом преимуществ в сравнении с нашими коллегами, жившими 100 и даже 50 лет назад (взять хотя бы наличие Интернета и электронной почты, которые снимают если не все, то многие проблемы, связанные с коммуникацией друг с другом). Работы у нас — непочатый край. Сначала надо сделать, конечно, русско-английский словарь. И не только путем инверсирования англо-русского, как многим кажется. Нужен словарь, в котором отразится библиотечная Россия — так, чтобы она стала понятной англоязычному миру.
    \ \ \ \ \ Приглашаем к участию в этой работе всех наших коллег, проживающих и работающих как в России и странах бывшего СССР, так и за рубежом.

    A LEVELS Al terminar la educación secundaria obligatoria, los estudiantes de Inglaterra, Gales e Irlanda del Norte pueden estudiar otros dos años para preparar tres o cuatro asignaturas más y examinarse de ellas a los 18 años. Estos exámenes se conocen con el nombre de A levels o Advanced levels. Cada universidad determina el número de A levels y la calificación necesaria para acceder a ella. En Escocia los exámenes equivalentes son los Highers o Higher Grades, que se hacen de unas cinco asignaturas tras un año de estudios. Después se puede optar entre entrar en la universidad directamente o estudiar otro año más, bien para hacer el mismo examen de otras asignaturas, o para sacar los Advanced Highers.

  • 13 Equestrianism

       Equestrianism or Equitation has an ancient tradition in Portugal. Although today this sport of horseback riding, which is related to the art and science of horse breeding, is a peaceful activity, for centuries Portugal's use of the horse in cavalry was closely associated with war. Beginning in the 18th century, the activity became connected to bull- fighting. In war, the Portuguese used horse cavalry longer than most other European nations. While most armies gave up the horse for mechanized cavalry or tanks after World War I, Portugal was reluctant to change this tradition. Oddly, Portugal used a specialized form of cavalry in combat as late as 1969-1971, in Angola, a colony of Portugal until 1975. Portugal's army in Angola, engaged in a war with Angolan nationalist forces, employed the so-called "Dragoons," a specialized cavalry in rural areas, until 1971, a case perhaps of the last use of cavalry in modern warfare.
       Soccer, or futebol, is Portugal's favorite mass sport today, but equestrianism retains a special place in sports as a now democratized, if somewhat elite, sport for both Portuguese and visiting foreign riders. As of 1900, equestrianism was still the sport of royalty and aristocracy, but in the 21st century persons from all classes and groups enjoy it. The sport now features the unique Lusitano breed of horse, which evolved from earlier breeds of Iberian ponies and horses. Touring equestrianism recently has become an activity of niche tourism, and it is complemented by international competitive riding. Following the early 20th century, when the Olympics were revived, Portuguese competitors have excelled not only in sailing, field hockey on roller-skates, rowing, and marksmanship, but also in equestrianism. Notable Portuguese riders were medal winners in summer Olympics such as those of 1948 and 1988. This sport is engaged in primarily if not exclusively in regions with a history of horse breeding, riding, and cattle herding, in Ribatejo and Alentejo provinces, and has featured career military participants.
       Portuguese equestrianism, including the use of horses in bull-fighting, hunting, and other forms of sport, as well as in horse cavalry in war, was long associated with the lifestyles of royalty and the nobility. The use of traditional, Baroque riding gear and garb in competitive riding, instruction, and bull-fighting reflects such a tradition. Riders in bull-fighting or in exhibitions wear 18th-century male costumes that include a tricornered hat, long frock coats, breeches, stockings, and buckled shoes. The Ribatejo "cowboy" or riding herder wears the regional costume of a green and red cap, red tunic, white breeches and stockings, Portuguese bridles, and chaps sometimes made of olive leaves.
       Although their prestigious classical riding academy remains less well known than the famous Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Portugal has preserved the ancient tradition of a classical riding school in its Royal School of Portuguese Equestrian Arts, at Queluz, not far from the National Palace of Queluz, a miniature Portuguese Versailles, with a hall of mirrors, tiled garden, and canal. One of the great riding masters and trainers was the late Nuno Oliveira (1925-89), whose work generated a worldwide network of students and followers and who published classic riding manuals. Oliveira's widely admired method of instruction was to bring about a perfect harmony of action between horse and rider, an inspiration to new generations of riders.

  • 17 Boxer, Charles Ralph

    (1904-2000)
       Eminent British scholar, author, teacher, collector, soldier, and authority on the history of Portugal's overseas empire (1415-1825). Trained as a professional soldier, not an academic, Boxer was educated at Sandhurst and served as a British army officer and Japanese language specialist in the Far East until 1947. Captured when the Japanese took Hong Kong early in World War II, he spent the remainder of the war in Japanese prison camps. After the war, he retired from his military career and began a long, distinguished academic career. In 1947, he was appointed Camoens Professor of Portuguese, King's College, University of London. He also taught at London's School of African and Oriental Studies and at Yale and Indiana Universities.
       Numbering more than 300, his many publications on the Portuguese empire in Africa, Asia, and Brazil to 1825 dominated international scholarship on the subject during the last half of the 20th century. His masterful general historical synthesis of 1969, The Portuguese Seaborne Empire, 1415-1825, remains a classic. With his mastery of Far Eastern languages, as well as Dutch, Portuguese, French, Spanish, and German, Boxer was also an avid collector of rare coins, art objects, books, and manuscripts. His extraordinary private collection remains preserved in the Lilly Library, Indiana University, Bloomington. Like his contemporary academic colleague, Gilberto Freyre, some of his writings had an impact beyond the academy and became politically controversial. Boxer's incisive 1963 book, Race Relations in the Portuguese Colonial Empire ( 1415-1800), was not well-received by Portugal's dictatorship, then embroiled in colonial wars in Africa. Briefly, Boxer was ostracized in Lisbon. Following the Revolution of 25 April 1974, however, many of Boxer's books were published in Portuguese in Portugal.
