Representational Politics of Art Media in the Contemporary Indonesian Artworld
Entering the 2000s, the development of contemporary Indonesian art exhibits a new phenomenon with artists' various uses of art media. Simultaneously, the development of institutions in the art world has encouraged various forms of exhibition presentations and the co-existence of various art media in local, national, and international contexts
The Hominin sites and Palaeolakes Drilling Project
Synopsis
My goal in The Artful Species is to review the current literature maintaining or denying a connection between, on the one hand, our aesthetic and art behaviours and, on the other, our evolved human nature. In the end, I am critical because I do not think that many positions—positions on both sides, I should add—withstand close scrutiny. I recommend caution where very different theories compete in claiming to explain the same data. This is an area…

Performing Musical Works Authentically
A kind of musical authenticity Julian Dodd thinks has been neglected, interpretive authenticity, as he calls it, is intended to provide both an insightful and faithful understanding of the work. This kind of authenticity is distinguished from score compliance authenticity (a view I have defended) on grounds that an authentic musical interpretation can sometimes deliberately depart from the score. I argue that none of the four examples Dodd offers…

The Hypothetical Intentionalist's Dilemma
In a recent essay, Jerrold Levinson defends his version of hypothetical intentionalism (HI), which is a theory of literary interpretation, from two criticisms. The first, argued by Stephen Davies, is that it is equivalent to the value-maximizing view. The second, argued by Robert Stecker, is that there are straightforward counterexamples to HI. We will argue that Levinson does not successfully fend off either criticism, and further, that in the p…

Musical Works and Orchestral Colour
In music ontology, 'pure' formalists regard musical works as 'colourless' sound structures. One alternative, known as timbral sonicism, accepts that a musical work's orchestral colour is a factor in its identity, but denies that the use of the specified instruments is required for an authentic rendition of the work provided that sounds as of those instruments are achieved. This position has been defended by Julian Dodd. In arguing against his vie…

Authors' Intentions, Literary Interpretation, and Literary Value
I discuss three theories regarding the interpretation of fictional literature: actual intentionalism (author's intentions constrain how their works are to be interpreted), hypothetical intentionalism (interpretations are justified as those most likely intended by a postulated author), and the value-maximizing theory (interpretations presenting the work in the most favourable light are to be preferred). I claim that actual intentionalism cannot ac…
A needs assessment in South Wales schools for a novel medical student‐led sex education programme
The rationale behind using medical students as sexual health educators in light of current UK governmental policy agenda and research on effective interventions is described in this paper, which also examines the results of a cross‐sectional survey of the sexual health knowledge and attitude of 14–15 year‐olds in some South Wales schools. Major current sources of sexual health information include school, magazines and other young people. Young pe…
The Cluster Theory of Art
Berys Gaut has recently defended a cluster account of art. He proposes it as superior to other anti-essentialist positions. I argue that his defence of this claim is unconvincing. Not only is the cluster theory consistent with the current crop of disjunctive definitions, it is at its most plausible when seen in such terms
Self ratings of health predict functional outcome and recurrence free survival after stroke
Study objective: To measure stroke victims’ self rated health (SRH) status and SRH transition, and to compare how the two are prospectively associated with disability and recurrence free survival. Design: Prospective case registry study with face to face follow up interviews at three months, one, two, and three years. Ascertained were SRH status and SRH transition using single question assessments, Barthel Index (BI), Frenchay Activities Index (F…

Profundity in Instrumental Music
According to Peter Kivy, to be profound, music would have to be about a profound subject that is treated in an exemplary way. Instrumental music does not satisfy this definition; usually it is not about anything humanly important, and when it is, it can convey no more than banalities. Like others, I argue against the propositional character of Kivy's ‘aboutness’ criterion; profundity can be revealed or displayed other than via statements and desc…

The Barthel ADL Index
The Barthel Index is a valid measure of disability. In this study we investigated the reliability of four different methods of obtaining the score in 25 patients: self-report, asking a trained nurse who had worked with the patient for at least one shift, and separate testing by two skilled observers within 72 hours of admission. Analysis of total (summed) scores revealed a close correlation between all four methods: a difference of 4/20 points wa…
