A Batalha de Adelaide Cabete em A Batalha - higienismo no feminino

A partir do suplemento semanal ‘literário e ilustrado’ do jornal A Batalha (1919-1927), foram seleccionados os textos que Adelaide Cabete 1 , Presidente do CNMP (Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas), fez sair a partir 3 de Dezembro de 1923, naquele que chegou a ser o segundo periódico de maior tiragem no nosso país, assinando, Adelaide Cabette médica. As batalhas que travou na vida foram muitas, assim como profícua foi a sua intervenção e empenhada a sua luta. Contudo, em que medida os textos que insere neste suplemento testemunham o pioneirismo por que foi (e é) motivo de orgulho para tantas mulheres? Da sua leitura decorre uma necessária reflexão em torno de variados conceitos, de entre eles o de higienismo. Que ideias quis partilhar sobre a saúde e educação para o universo feminino? O seu apego à protecção das mulheres grávidas pobres, anunciado desde cedo (1900) não deixa de se manter constante. Detalhes de uma vida a revisitar!

Reflection on the 'Landscapes of Rights' Conference, Adelaide, 2009

This article presents a reflective view of three teaching colleagues from Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane who had attended and participated in the 'Landscapes of Rights' Conference in Adelaide, July 2009.

Valuing participation : artists and the Adelaide fringe festival

Based on interviews and focus group discussions with participating artists in the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival, this paper is an interrogation of one aspect of the cultural value of the festival in terms of the benefits it delivers to one of its key constituent communities. The evaluation of special events has tended to focus on measuring the economic benefits that festivals can deliver to local economies. However, scant attention has been paid to the indirect impacts of arts events on communities and in particular to the impacts felt by the artists who participate. The Fringe festival plays a critical role as a facilitator of new work dedicated to creating opportunities for artists to practice their craft. Our research findings suggest that the stated goals of the Fringe – to provide a multi-artform and inclusive platform for the presentation of art works through the provision of resources and other services to artists – are largely being met, and that participating artists report a high degree of satisfaction with the work of the organisation. In terms of impact, the research finds that artists see themselves as the beneficiaries of a number of positive short-term outcomes resulting from their participation in the festival. We call for further longitudinal study to address the potential long-term career development impacts of festival participation for artists.
