The Europe of the 18th century manifested a keen interest on the education of nobles and Portugal was in line with this current tendency, founding the Royal College of Nobles in Lisbon. My main interest is the study of the official inaugural speech, delivered on 14th April of 1766 by Michael Antonius Cierae, a Latin discourse, never translated or deeply studied. This rhetorical performance is an important source to study the new pedagogical program conceived by of the King Joseph I and his minister José Sebastiăo Carvalho e Melo, also known as Marquęs de Pombal, after the expulsion of Jesuits. This discourse represents a broad view of political philosophy and for this reason, I decided to divide the present article in three parts. First, I circumscribe the political and historical context in Europe, then analyse the creation's circumstances of this Royal College, and shed light on the rhetorical structure of speech, its subjects and topoi articulated under all partes orationis. I expect to recognize in which way this official speech reveals the pedagogical philosophy to understand the political polemics and controversies of this period inPortugal.

This study contributes to the debate on the European Union (EU) 'communication deficit' by assessing EU-media relations. Previous literature has examined the way EU institutions interface with journalists, but tells us little about potential differences between these institutions' communication performance. Moreover, research tends to address the main actors of this process, Brussels-based correspondents and EU officials, separately. Drawing on interviews with both groups, we established a direct comparison of their perceptions on (1) the press work of each EU institution; (2) the interaction between EU institutions; and (3) their own informal contacts. Results show that specific communicative patterns are aroused from the various institutions, the EU inter-institutional cooperation is negatively evaluated, and non-official information channels are a key asset for communicating in Brussels. Adopting a broader standpoint, our findings reveal that long-standing EU structural and organisational deficiencies might be enduring the 'communication deficit'. Adapted from the source document.
