This text address the debate to
the meanings of the return of
corporatism issue to the studies on
contemporary History, in general,
and to the Portuguese New State´s
History, in particular. Looking for
an hermeneutic of corporatism
as a historical concept, this essay
highlights the strong connection
between the corporatist ideology
and the fascisms from the
inter-war period, considering
the double perspective of the
“fascist-movement” and those of
the “fascist-regimes”. Refusing
the a-historic perspectives of
corporatism, we put in evidence
its instrumental goals.
