A traves de la literatura medica publicada en Espana, entre 1860 y 1925, analizamos las claves del conocimiento medico sobre la cuestion de la determinacion del sexo en los seres humanos centrandonos en el terreno fronterizo que supone el llamado «hermafroditismo».

Domingues published numerous articles in the Portuguese anarcho-syndicalist daily newspaper A Batalha between 1919 and 1923 on colonialism as part of a programme of anticolonial and anti-capitalist struggle that was the earliest and most substantial campaign of the time. The contents of his work are analysed and the connections that he and A Batalha forged with black African organizations in Lisbon are assessed. It is argued that Domingues’ work represents an alternative to both nation-centred and Marxist-oriented programmes of anticolonialism and its study aids in the reconstruction of the contours of a radical and active “Black Lisbon” of the late 1910s and early 1920s in Portugal and sheds new light on the associational culture of black political struggles during the period.

By providing an account that is both sensitive to national realities and international scientific influences, this paper argues that, while eugenics was not a major interest for Egas, the language of eugenics was present in his work and allowed for connections between the sexual sciences, neo-Malthusianism and medical hygiene. Although the analysis of one individual is no substitute for an extensive history of eugenics in any one country, the reception of eugenics in key figures of Portuguese science and medicine provides a useful barometer by which to judge the dissemination of eugenics in this national space. Este artigo explora as ressonâncias das ideias eugénicas no pensamento do prémio Nobel Egas Moniz, com particular ênfase no seu livro A Vida Sexual que conheceu múltiplas edições. Ao contextualizar quer as realidades nacionais quer as influências científicas internacionais, este trabalho defende que a linguagem da Eugenia, não sendo um assunto primordial para Egas Moniz, não deixou de estar presente no seu trabalho, permitindo ligar as ciências da sexualidade, o neomaltusianismo e a higiene médica. Ainda que a análise de um só indivíduo não substitua uma abordagem extensiva da história da Eugenia num dado país, a avaliação da recetividade às ideias eugénicas entre cientistas e médicos portugueses proeminentes constitui um barómetro da disseminação da Eugenia no espaço nacional.
