This chapter compares two definitions of artistic value that accommodate its second order, pluralistic nature. The first, the composite view, defines this value in terms of the evolving functions of central art forms. The second, the buck-passing view, defines artistic value in terms of art forms (‘arts’) but instead of doing so by appealing the functions of artworks, it does so more directly in terms of ‘value of work as a k,’ for example, value of a work as a painting. The chapter argues that the chief objections to each definition can be answered. It concludes by assessing the comparative strengths and liabilities of each approach, but the main message is that there are multiple resources for sustaining a pluralistic approach to artistic value.

Art Forms

Certain artworks are––whatever else they are––statements about the value of art. A particularly striking form of such a statement is made by a class of artworks we can call “high-cost art.” High-cost artworks are those with greater costs relative to benefits for their artists or displayers. I will argue here that those art forms that are most likely to include high-cost works are particularly effective at communicating artistic value-claims, and suggest that by so championing the value of art, these artworks themselves increase in artistic value.

Disappearance voltages for second order reflections can be determined experimentally in a variety of ways. The more subjective methods, such as Kikuchi line disappearance and bend contour imaging, involve comparing a series of diffraction patterns or micrographs taken at intervals throughout the disappearance range and selecting that voltage which gives the strongest disappearance effect. The estimated accuracies of these methods are both to within 10 kV, or about 2-4%, of the true disappearance voltage, which is quite sufficient for using these voltages in further calculations. However, it is the necessity of determining this information by comparisons of exposed plates rather than while operating the microscope that detracts from the immediate usefulness of these methods if there is reason to perform experiments at an unknown disappearance voltage.The convergent beam technique for determining the disappearance voltage has been found to be a highly objective method when it is applicable, i.e. when reasonable crystal perfection exists and an area of uniform thickness can be found. The criterion for determining this voltage is that the central maximum disappear from the rocking curve for the second order spot.

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Der Partnerschaftsfragebogen (PFB) wird im deutschen Sprachraum zur Erfassung der Partnerschafts- und Ehequalität bevorzugt eingesetzt. Fragestellung: Neben der Überprüfung der Eindimensionalität der PFB-Subskalen (Streitverhalten, Zärtlichkeit, Gemeinsamkeit/Kommunikation) wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit überprüft, ob das Zusammenfassen der PFB-Subskalen zu einem Generalfaktor „Partnerschaftsqualität” angemessen ist. Methoden: Es wurden Daten einer Bevölkerungsstichprobe für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland genutzt (N = 1.289). Aufgrund der Abweichung von einer multivariaten Normalverteilung wurden konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen mittels Maximum-Likelihood-Methode mit robusten Standardfehlern und einem mittelwertsadjustierten Chi2-Wert (Satorra-Bentler-scaled-χ2) durchgeführt. Ergebnisse: Es ergaben sich sowohl für die Eindimensionalität der PFB-Subskalen als auch für die Second-Order-Faktorenanalyse sehr gute Modellanapassungen. Schlussfolgerungen: Die Subsumierung der PFB-Items zu Skalenwerten sowie der PFB-Subskalen zu einem Gesamtwert kann als angemessen eingestuft werden.
