Património enigmático: os Portugueses na memória coletiva na Minahasa

Publication . Schouten, Maria Johanna Christina

Entre os habitantes da Minahasa, no nordeste da Indonésia, é comum indicar certos fenómenos como “portugueses”, ou “de origem portuguesa”. Trata-se de nomes, palavras, expressões musicais ou coreográficas, objetos móveis e imóveis, que, segundo a população, comprovam uma prolongada presença de portugueses na sua região. Esta interpretação contrasta com aquela de historiadores académicos, que encontraram nas suas fontes apenas referências a algumas breves visitas por portugueses, no século XVI. Neste artigo apresentam-se algumas explicações possíveis deste fenómeno.

Normal Birth: Experiences from Portugal and Beyond

Publication . White, Joanna; Schouten, Maria Johanna Christina

As a result of medical advances and technological developments, childbirth in Europe has been transformed from a physiological process usually taking place in the home, to a pathological, clinical event. This publication is concerned with what constitutes a normal birth in contemporary society, and current cultural influences on childbirth practices. What are the procedures and outcomes, opinions and preferences related to childbirth in different societies, and particularly Portugal? What is the interface between proponents of different approaches to childbirth? And what developments can we expect to see in the immediate future? These issues were discussed by specialists from diverse backgrounds at an international seminar in Lisbon. This e-book includes a general and thematic introduction, a literal transcription of the seminar proceedings and discussions, academic and practical references and a comprehensive bibliography. Each section is presented in both English and Portuguese.

Later life and public policies in time of crisis: Portugal, 2008-2013

Publication . Gouveia, Odília Maria; Schouten, Maria Johanna Christina; Matos, Alice Delerue

This article presents an analysis of public policies implemented in Portugal between 2008 and 2013 affecting the older segments of the population, specifically those aged 50 years and over. Research on this period is relevant because it was a time of economic and financial crisis and concomitant changes in government policy. By making a content analysis of the laws published on the website of the Diário da República (Portuguese State Gazette) three periods could be distinguished: January 2008 to May 2010, which was dominated by an emancipatory logic reflecting respect for social rights; June 2010 to September 2012; and then October 2012 to December 2013, in which a logic of austerity prevailed, especially in the last period, with negative consequences for the quality of life of senior citizens.
