Sumario:The present paper, ostentatiously theoretic, seeks a critical reflection about the hermeneutics of corporatism as a social phenomenon possessing historic depth. The debate mobilizes the vast bibliography produced by the Social Sciences about the corporatist phenomenon. Between the common denominators of such bibliography, the devaluation of the corporatist ideas’ and institutions’ historicity in their umbilical connection with the fascisms is highlighted. Recuperating that timate relation, the interwar European corporatist movement’s central meanings are interpreted historically. Anchored in the fascist corporatisms’ historical ballast, some challenges are proposed about the Portuguese experience of the Estado Novo – its longevity and high degree of institutionalization has always aroused the interest of historians and other social scientists.
