Nº 2 – March 1977

It’s said that those who do things they like do not get tired, however we don’t want to run a solitary road. For that reason, we request your support, and that’s one of our concerns.

Nº 3 e 4 – April and May 1977

Despite the difficulties and delays here we are. It is perhaps time to make an analysis of what we are, and what we would like to be with you. These first 3 numbers were for clearing.

Nº 5 e 6 – November and December 1977

With all the difficulties inherent in a magazine lauched in the “unknown space” of Socio-Cultural Animation, “INTERVENTION” completes one year of publication.

Nº 7 – May 1978

The first months of 1978 were for various cultural associations, months of restructuring, reorganization, definition of objectives and working methods.

Nº 8 – July 1978

All human society, because it exists as an organized set of people and institutions, has a given culture, that is, a set of ethical and aesthetic values, which result from a certain vision (knowledge) of the real and that inform – and also express – the behavior of the different subjects.

Nº 9 – November 1978

1979, will be Children’s International Year. The decision of the Assembly of the United Nations will, however, be nothing more than a simple draft of intentions, if in each country its implementation does not exceed the commemorations of principles with which everyone is more or less in agreement.

Nº 10 – February 1979

The 2^nd meeting of Cultural Associations and Animators decided to consider “Intervention” as an organ of Cultural Associations and Animators, replacing and giving continuity to “Viva” bulletin, created at the 1.^st encounter, which had 2 numbers.

Nº 11 – May and June 1979

In the editorial of the previous number, we defined which are the main strenght lines and priorities and “Intervention” – organ of cultural associations and animators.

Nº 12 – July and August 1979

In all domains of national collective life, the fundamental question, which implies the others, is about the destiny of the constitutional project, which draws a society of transition to socialism, with the democratic power of the workers by goal.

Nº 13 – September and October 1979

Without wishing to replace the essencial discussion about the evaluation of the 3^rd Meeting of Cultural Associations and Animators, one thing is certain: the 3 ^rd meeting belongs in the past.

Nº 14 – January and February 1980

At a large meeting of “Intervention”‘ workers, that happened in Lisbon, on the 23rd of February 1980, culminating a long process of internal discussion, it was decided to move on with a set of proposals, that will countribute to the viability of the magazine, that is, a diminishing dependence – we hope – of official subsidies.

Nº 15 – March and April 1980

Three years ago “Intervention” came up with its first issue. If we had not (and knew) built the cathedral of Strasbourg we had at least, the illusion that gave her life. If all illusion has a purpose, ours was to be a space – a great meeting place.

Nº 16 – October 1980

After three years, “Intervention” doesn’t change its “outfit”. The change of direction can only be understood as assuming “the nerves and the new blood of all those who give it life”.

Nº 1 – January 1982

So much and so little time without publising. Many things happened, some ink ran and somehow the practice underwent transformations.

Nº 2 – February 1982

We cross the desert of cultural superstructure. The way things are done in the different cultural rooms are wasted.

Nº 3 e 4 – March and April 1982

In April, speaking of the Space is like a breath of fresh air that beats us head on. Air that we still breathe between walls and towers that increasingly cover our eyes and prevent us from communicating.

Nº 5 – May and June 1982

Sometimes the magazine borns within us, it comes from the bottom. And each time it is born it is as if something new happens, as if discovering a new part of each of us. And the magazine starts to be a bit of us all.

Nº 6 – July and August 1982

June was the 1^st stage of one that we wish had no end. After the time that the magazine was “interrumpted” and entered the “boot” phase, we thought that that time that passed should not be wasted.

Nº 7 e 8 – December 1982 and January 1983

Could it be any other way? The time of absolut certainty has passed. More than ever, it’s essencial to assum the search, don’t perpetuate images, don’t forget that things tranform, and that we can transform them.

Nº 9 – January 1984

Nº 1 – 1985
