The Grant Proposal as a Genre. A Multiple Correspondence Analysis of Visual Artists and their Legitimations for Government Grants in Flanders, 1965–2015
Do artists’ justificatory strategies to obtain government grants reflect expectations from the funding body, or are they predominantly tied to artists’ field positions? Using Multiple Correspondence Analysis on Flemish (Belgium) visual artists’ grant proposals spanning 51 years (1965–2015, n = 494), we find that, with some notable exceptions, field positions and artists’ justifications for obtaining subsidies are only marginally related. Instead,…

Life as ground—Variations on a theme: Comments on Karen Ng's Hegel's concept of life
In this discussion, I take up Karen Ng's central claim that according to Hegel, the ground of the intelligibility of the world and of the objectivity of our judgment is life . I unpack this claim by considering different interpretive variations of it, all of which find textual support in Ngs book. I offer criticism of the various interpretive variations, with the overall aim of working toward gaining a clearer understanding of what precisely is i…
From starving artist to entrepreneur. Justificatory pluralism in visual artists' grant proposals
Inspired by French pragmatism and using Bourdieu's notion of "refraction" as an indication of a field's autonomy, we explore in-depth what kinds of justifications visual artists deploy to legitimate their requests for government money. Based on 494 government grant proposals from visual artists between 1965 and 2015 in Belgium, we find six such justifications. The reputational, esthetic, and romantic justifications are grounded in autonomous crit…
The Aral Sea Basin: Water for Sustainable Development in Central Asia
The alpine cryosphere, including snow, glaciers and permafrost, is critical to water management in the Aral Sea Basin (ASB) and larger Central Asia (CA) under the changing climate, as it stores large amounts of water in its solid forms. Most cryospheric components in the Aral Sea Basin are close to melting point, and hence very vulnerable to a slight increase in air temperature with significant consequences to long-term water availability and to …
Fichte’s Ethics
Central to Kant’s moral philosophy is the compelling thought that for a rational creature to be free is to do what she has most reason to do. For Kant, it is a ‘fact of reason’ that we always have most reason to do what the moral law requires of us. Accordingly, we are free in Kant’s view insofar as we are autonomous: that is, insofar as we determine ourselves to follow the moral law. In Fichte’s ethics, too, the freedom of rational agents plays …
Secretly Serious? Maintaining and Crossing Cultural Boundaries in the Karaoke Bar Through Ironic Consumption
When existing cultural boundaries seem to blur, people will look for alternative ways to express their identities. Recent research has shown that aesthetic dispositions (how one consumes culture) may be more significant than taste preferences (what is consumed). Sociologists therefore wonder whether distinction might be going underground. Elaborating on this issue, we examine the role of irony in cultural consumption through nine in-depth intervi…
On Naturalism in Hegel's Philosophy of Spirit
In recent years, philosophers have become increasingly interested in a Hegelian approach to Aristotelian non-reductive naturalism. This paper points out a challenge faced by naturalist readings of Hegel's conception of spirit. For Hegel, spirit and nature are essentially distinct and even related in an antagonistic way. It is difficult to do full justice to this thought while at the same time reading Hegel as a naturalist. The paper also seeks to…
P1-388 Transmission of pandemic influenza a (H1N1) on a passenger aircraft
Introduction Screening for influenza in arriving airline passengers and follow-up of people seated near passengers with suspected infection was used in New Zealand during the containment stage of the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. However, there is little evidence for in-flight transmission of influenza in modern commercial aircraft. This investigation aimed to assess the risks of such transmission from a school group of infected passengers who arrived i…
The Impact of "Forgiving" Introductions on the Reporting of Sensitive Behavior in Surveys: The Role of Social Desirability Response Style and Developmental Status
The use of "forgiving" introductions is generally recommended for survey questions about sensitive behavior. However, research results on the effectiveness of this technique are inconsistent. This study tested whether the effectiveness of forgiving introductions depends on individual differences in respondents’ social desirability response style (SDRS) and developmental status. In an online survey among 3,802 respondents aged 12 to 89 years, we c…

Development and Testing of a New Version of the Hypermasculinity Index
The high prevalence and serious consequences associated with rape makes its prevention an important social work goal. Rape prevention necessitates understanding the attitudes and personality characteristics of actual and potential rapists. Within the research on attitudinal correlates of rape, hypermasculinity consistently emerges as one of the strongest predictors. The most commonly used measure of hypermasculinity, the Hypermasculinity Index (H…
Barriers to care among persons living with HIV/Aids in urban and rural areas
People living with HIV disease, particularly those in small towns and rural areas, face many barriers that prevent them from receiving important life-care services. We developed the Barriers to Care Scale (BACS) to delineate the problem severity of factors that impede care and service provision among a sample of 226 men and women living with HIV disease in a single midwestern state. Both urban and rural respondents indicated that major barriers t…

Population and sex differences in arm circumference and skinfold thicknesses among Indo-Pakistani children living in the East Midlands of Britain
Arm circumference, triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses of 2224 Indo-Pakistani children aged 3-10.9 years living in Nottingham and Leicestershire were measured. The children were classified into populations according to country of origin, and religion, prior to analysis. Significant between-population differences were shown for all three variables, the effect being stronger in males than in females. Sex differences in arm circumference an…
