The Relationship

The relationship between art and thought can be a complex one. ‘Thinking about art history’ discusses the impact various philosophical schools and psychoanalytic theory have had on the way in which we think about art history and the role, meaning, and interpretation of art. It introduces the ideas of such key thinkers as G. W. F. Hegel, Immanuel Kant, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida in order to show how they have interacted with art history, not least in regard to the emergence of social histories of art and feminist art history.

Lo primero que se puede decir de este libro es que su autor cumple a cabalidad con lo anunciado en el título. Son cuatro ensayos sobre cuatro grandes pensadores contemporáneos, los cuales pueden leerse de forma independiente y en el orden que se quiera. La razón por la cual Silva los asocia está claramente expresada en los primeros renglones: “se relacionan con mi trabajo académico como profesor y como investigador” (p. xi). Además, todos ellos pretenden responder a inquietudes respecto del “estatuto cambiante de las ciencias sociales y del análisis histórico” (énfasis del autor), como expresa al inicio del siguiente parágrafo. A primera vista, se podría pensar que nos encontramos ante otro libro sobre Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu o Marc Bloch, pero el caso está lejos de ser este. En efecto, Silva aborda a los autores desde un ángulo diferente, examinando textos o escritos que se salen del mainstream, como por ejemplo la correspondencia de Freud y La extraña derrota de Bloch. Por otro lado, el historiador insiste reiterativamente en el hecho de que no los abordará como “especialista”, lo que le permite un abordaje “no-ortodoxo” de sus escritos, sin ninguna pretensión de defender cualquier especie de purismo.

This chapter examines the ways in which the distinctive conception of the moral order in conservative liberalism and Ordo-liberalism bears testament to the metaphysical and epistemological imprints of continental European ethical philosophy as it evolved in the period from the 1880s to the 1930s. Ethical philosophy helped to give flesh to their conception of liberalism as about human flourishing. The chapter begins by reflecting on the complex relationship with Adam Smith as political economist and moral philosopher and on the enormous importance of Immanuel Kant in shaping the broad parameters of the way in which conservative liberals and Ordo-liberals engaged with the ethical basis of liberalism. The founding thinkers of this tradition rejected Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The chapter investigates in depth the complex connections—far from neat causal relationships—between conservative liberals and Ordo-liberals and a range of philosophers with whom they had often studied or knew as family friends: Rudolf Eucken, Edmund Husserl, Max Scheler, Nicolai Hartmann, William James, and G. E. Moore, as well as the special case of Louis Rougier and of French positivism in the work of Rougier and Jacques Rueff. Attention is also paid to the Euckenbund (Eucken Association). This context is important in understanding the hostility of the founding thinkers to determinism, subjectivism, utilitarianism, naturalism, empiricist Realism, and moral relativism. A contrast is drawn between the differing philosophical roots of the early Austrian tradition and Ordo-liberalism. The chapter closes with an examination of the implications of developments in philosophy for the reception of conservative liberalism and Ordo-liberalism and of the problematic relationship between truth and relevance as it arises in economic and financial crisis.

O presente artigo procura, em uma análise retroativa a autores como Immanuel Kant, Georg W. F. Hegel e Karl Marx, estabelecer as divergências e convergências entre estes autores em torno de um fio condutor: qual é a relação que o ser humano tem com o tempo, o espaço e a prática da liberdade? Qual a importância, portanto, de uma “época” para a análise histórica? Percebe-se que, apesar de Hegel e Marx seguirem elementos importantes do pensamento kantiano, ambos convergem em um princípio que se distingue da análise de Kant: a noção de que alguns grupos ou indivíduos teriam uma visão/compreensão (Einsicht) melhor da situação de todos. Neste sentido, entendemos que a sequência entre a crítica kantiana e o pensamento contemporâneo está principalmente na obra de autores que pensaram a crítica do filósofo de Königsberg como “atitude crítica” diante do pressuposto da autoridade. Entre esses autores, encontram-se Michel Foucault e Jacques Rancière, que defendem a característica eminentemente anacrônica do trabalho do historiador, sem a pressuposição da superioridade de um indivíduo ou grupo sobre os demais.

Immanuel Kant is today often invoked as an emblematic figure for Europe. In works by thinkers such as Zygmunt Bauman, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Jürgen Habermas, among others, Kant’s work stands as a core reference for discussions of the European Modern and the legacy of the Enlightenment, even if this appropriation is not uncritical. The spectre of Kant also haunts Europe in more pedestrian understandings of the ideal. Prominent politicians such as Gerhard Schroeder, Joschka Fischer, Dominique de Villepin and Romano Prodi have all paid tribute to his influence, while in a variety of popular-academic texts Kant’s ‘cosmopolitical’ dream has been invoked as a paradigm for Europe – if not a shorthand for the European social model tout court.

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.

Abstract Administrators and supervisors face daily challenges over issues such as program funding, service fees, correct coding procedures, and the ever-changing healthcare regulations. Receiving equitable reimbursement for speech-language pathology and audiology services necessitates an understanding of federal coding and reimbursement systems. This tutorial provides information pertaining to two major healthcare coding systems and explains the relationship of these systems to clinical documentation, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and equitable reimbursement. An explanation of coding edits and coding modifiers is provided for use in those occasional atypical situations when the standard use of procedural coding may not be appropriate. Also included in this tutorial is a brief discussion of the impact that the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (HR 6331 Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act [MIPPA], 2008) has had on the valuation of speech-language pathology procedure codes.

Humans are social animals; consequently, a lack of social ties affects individuals’ health negatively. However, the desire to belong differs between individuals, raising the question of whether individual differences in the need to belong moderate the impact of perceived social isolation on health. In the present study, 77 first-year university students rated their loneliness and health every 6 weeks for 18 weeks. Individual differences in the need to belong were found to moderate the relationship between loneliness and current health state. Specifically, lonely students with a high need to belong reported more days of illness than those with a low need to belong. In contrast, the strength of the need to belong had no effect on students who did not feel lonely. Thus, people who have a strong need to belong appear to suffer from loneliness and become ill more often, whereas people with a weak need to belong appear to stand loneliness better and are comparatively healthy. The study implies that social isolation does not impact all individuals identically; instead, the fit between the social situation and an individual’s need appears to be crucial for an individual’s functioning.

Abstract. Background: Self-esteem is a major contributor to risk for repeated suicide attempts. Prior research has shown that awareness of stigma is associated with reduced self-esteem among people with mental illness. No prior studies have examined the association between self-esteem and stereotype awareness among individuals with past suicide attempts. Aims: To understand the relationship between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among young adults who have and have not attempted suicide. Method: Computerized surveys were administered to college students (N = 637). Linear regression analyses were used to test associations between self-esteem and stereotype awareness, attempt history, and their interaction. Results: There was a significant stereotype awareness by attempt interaction (β = –.74, p = .006) in the regression analysis. The interaction was explained by a stronger negative association between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among individuals with past suicide attempts (β = –.50, p = .013) compared with those without attempts (β = –.09, p = .037). Conclusion: Stigma is associated with lower self-esteem within this high-functioning sample of young adults with histories of suicide attempts. Alleviating the impact of stigma at the individual (clinical) or community (public health) levels may improve self-esteem among this high-risk population, which could potentially influence subsequent suicide risk.

Background: We study the impact of suicide-exclusion periods, common in life insurance policies in Australia, on suicide and accidental death rates for life-insured individuals. If a life-insured individual dies by suicide during the period of suicide exclusion, commonly 13 months, the sum insured is not paid. Aims: We examine whether a suicide-exclusion period affects the timing of suicides. We also analyze whether accidental deaths are more prevalent during the suicide-exclusion period as life-insured individuals disguise their death by suicide. We assess the relationship between the insured sum and suicidal death rates. Methods: Crude and age-standardized rates of suicide, accidental death, and overall death, split by duration since the insured first bought their insurance policy, were computed. Results: There were significantly fewer suicides and no significant spike in the number of accidental deaths in the exclusion period for Australian life insurance data. More suicides, however, were detected for the first 2 years after the exclusion period. Higher insured sums are associated with higher rates of suicide. Conclusions: Adverse selection in Australian life insurance is exacerbated by including a suicide-exclusion period. Extension of the suicide-exclusion period to 3 years may prevent some “insurance-induced” suicides – a rationale for this conclusion is given.
