Three theses on Ucronia and Forest. On Portuguese Integralism (Integralismo Lusitano)
The typical intellectual movement of the early century (a concept which we seek to specify), Portuguese Integralism (Integralismo Lusitano) (1914-38), which initially received influence from symbolism, right-wing positivism and late century anarchy (acratismo fissecular), associated with the influence of traditionalist thought and the Action Française of Maurras, suggested a political and cultural combat, defining the anti-progressive and reactionary field, of which the fundaments remained, in Portugal, in the "right-wing culture", anti-democratic and authoritarian for over half a century.
This paper aims to explain the most meaningful segments of anti-utopian thought of integral reactionism (reaccionarismo integral) , on the crossing between Modernity and anti-modernity, where Portuguese society itself was to be found.
