    ArtScience is emerging as one approach for creating novel ways of seeing and new ways of knowing. The authors propose a role for ArtScience research and creative work in contributing to the necessary shifts to go beyond the current crisis of representation. DataRemix, a recombination and reappropriation practice intended to trigger novel subjective experiences and associations, is described

  • Development and Reliability of a Brazilian Portuguese Version of the MCMI-III

    Open AccessCristina L Magalhães, Randy Noblitt et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2012

    This paper describes the methodology used to translate the MCMI-III into Brazilian Portuguese and presents results from a reliability study conducted in Brazil with the translated instrument. The sample was comprised of 222 Brazilian college students. Test-retest correlations between first and second testings (over a period of 7 to 14 days) ranged from .70 to .93 across 27 scales. Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from .54 to .87. The procedur…

  • Mersenne as Translator and Interpreter of the Works of Galileo

    John Lewis, John M LewisARTICLEModern Language Notes2012References: 1

    Mersenne as Translator and Interpreter of the Works of Galileo John Lewis (bio) At the height of his reputation, Marin Mersenne (1588-1648) sent Galileo three complimentary letters: all three went unanswered (or at least no replies are extant). When Galileo wrote to his Swiss colleague and supporter Elia Diodati, he excused himself for not replying to Mersenne with the rather limp excuse that he found Mersenne's handwriting too hard to read.1 It …

  • Rabelais and the reception of the ‘art’ of Ramón Lull in early sixteenth-century France

    Open AccessJohn Lewis, John M LewisARTICLERenaissance Studies2010

    In the celebrated letter from father to son in Pantagruel (1531), Rabelais urges the student giant to ignore the claims of judicial astrology and the Art of Ramón Lull as an ‘abuse and vanity’. Although Rabelais criticises judicial astrology in many places in his Chronicles, the condemnation of Lull is exceptional, as is the specific association of Lull with judicial astrology. For many Renaissance writers, Lull's Art – expressed in greatest deta…

    John D Lewis, John Lewis et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…2010

    Excavations were undertaken in 1981 and 1990–1 at the site of the 18th-/19th-century ceramicsmanufacturing complex of West Pans, near Musselburgh. The foundations of several structures wereuncovered although many proved impossible to interpret or date. Several puddling pits, most of themquite small, were identified, as was part of a hovel (the circular structure surrounding a kiln) andthe remains of two kilns, one of which might have been for gla…

  • The Maastricht Inflation Criterion

    Open AccessJohn Lewis, Karsten StæhrARTICLEJCMS Journal of Common Market…2010Cited by: 2

    According to the Maastricht Treaty, a country seeking to join the European Monetary Union cannot have an inflation rate in excess of 1.5 per cent plus the average inflation rates in the three ‘best performing’ EU countries. This inflation reference value is a non‐increasing function of the number of EU members. A counterfactual analysis of historical data shows that the effect of enlarging the EU from 15 to 27 countries was sizeable in 2002–04 an…

  • Redefining Qualitative Methods

    Open AccessJohn Lewis, John A LewisARTICLEInternational Journal of…2009Cited by: 19References: 9

    In this article the author addresses the history of reliability and validity in qualitative research as this method of inquiry has progressed through various paradigms. The importance of the concepts of reliability and validity in research findings is traced from the traditional era, where there was only a modest distinction between qualitative and quantitative researchers involving their definitions of research reliability and validity, through …

  • Excavations at Crookston Castle, Glasgow 1973–75

    Open AccessJohn LewisARTICLEScottish Archaeological Journal2003

    Three seasons (1973–75) of excavation were undertaken at several locations around Crookston Castle, which is thought to have begun as a timber and earth fortification in the twelfth century. This was replaced by a stone castle around AD 1400. Trenches were opened across the castle's outer defences, the entrance, the E range and in and around the extant stone tower. There was evidence to suggest that the original counterscarp of the ditch was repa…

  • The Intellectual Context of Solon’s Dike

    John D Lewis, John LewisARTICLEPolis The Journal for Ancient…2001

    Solon is our only primary source for the intellectual context of archaic Athenian political thought. Dike is central to that context. The primary question of dike is the degree of abstraction it denotes. To Solon dike is neither an abstract principle with metaphysical proportions, nor merely the concrete procedures of dispute mediation. Solon understands Dike in a polis that is ordered by the thoughts and actions of particular human beings, not b…

  • Walking with the Wind

    John Salmond, John A Salmond et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2000

It b…

    The separation of theory and practice is not one that will easily be overcome by academic and philosophical critique, however necessary and important these are.' (Shanks & Tilley 1992: xxii).

  • Excavations at Crichton Castle, Midlothian

    John LewisARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1998

    Excavation inside the basement of the castle's tower house, its earliest extant building, revealed little of interest; whereas investigations in the area of the late 16th-century Italianate facade on the north side of the courtyard revealed what are thought to be the foundations of the original north range, probably dating to the 15th century

  • Excavations at St Andrews, Castlecliffe, 1988-90

    John Lewis, John H Lewis et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1997

    Excavation to the immediate west of the castle revealed considerable evidence of occupation (probably not continuous) dating from c. 1200 to at least the mid-sixteenth century. Most of the structures uncovered were associated with the medieval burgh not the castle. The first timber buildings gave way to a fourteenth-century tannery, probably when the castle was in ruins and unoccupied. The tannery gave way to two phases of residential buildings, …
