The project of explaining imagination is introduced and motivated. A distinction is drawn between two kinds of imagining: attitude imagining (A-imagining) and imagistic imagining (I-imagining). While both receive extended treatment in the book, the core project will be to explain A-imagining in more basic folk psychological terms. A-imagining, it will be argued, is simply the use of more basic folk psychological states such as beliefs, desires, judgments, and decisions. Some of these states have mental images as constituents and so qualify also as I-imaginings as well. The chapter’s second half explains why the most common arguments for imagination’s irreducibility to other folk psychological states are either question-begging or inconclusive. The chapter concludes by previewing a number of the reductive strategies for explaining imagination that later chapters develop in detail. In this way, the first chapter serves as a précis for the book as a whole.

With the Digital Mozart-Edition (DME), the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation and the Packard Humanities Institute, Los Altos (California), intend to build a bridge between music philology and informatics using the example of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart’s oeuvre. The aim of the project is to edit Mozart’s complete works as well as letters, documents and text sources according to scholarly criteria and in a fully digital format available free of charge on the internet. The core project of the DME, the Digital Interactive Mozart Edition (DIME), is conceived as a further development of the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (NMA). Following the principle “code equals edition”, all musical texts and their critical documentation are encoded in the XML-based format by the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI). All variants and editorial interventions of the music can be made visible through The Digital Mozart Score Viewer (MoVi), a visualisation tool built around the Verovio music engraving library.

Background: This is a review and analysis of the questionnaires most used in empirical research on psychological phenomena labelled as “presence,” “flow,” and “narrative absorption,” mostly for experiences mediated by technology (printed books, screens for games and films, and virtual reality). Overlapping concepts have been formulated in different fields according to specific disciplinary interests and based on knowledge within each field. Objectives: This review focuses on how language is actually used in questionnaire items, rather than on how concepts are formulated top-down and associated with corresponding linguistic expressions that become items of a questionnaire. The goal is to highlight similarities and overlaps in order to show a possible interdisciplinary agreement about the core aspects of the psychological states elicited by mediated experiences. Eligibility criteria: Questionnaires developed or used for research about VR, video games, films, or books have been selected for analysis. They should be available in English and used in empirical research since the year 2000. Sources of evidence: A search has been performed through Google Scholar and two other disciplinary bibliographies edited by international learned societies. Charting methods: The items of each questionnaire are categorized based on their wordings, and thus independently from the conceptual models within which they have been developed.  Based on this categorization, various domains to which the items can be ascribed are identified (e.g. space, realism, agency, etc.) and psychological phenomena are linked to them (e.g. presence, social presence, narrative absorption, etc.). Results: 308 items in 23 questionnaires have been found to have overlapping of wordings. Conclusions: A list of the core aspects of presence, social presence, flow, and narrative absorption is presented, together with a critical selection of items suitable to measure each construct.

Abstract The London School of Economics (LSE) joins CERN as an established partner of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Study, a project that touches many fields in and beyond physics. This volume coincides with the first steps of Horizon Europe in hopes of informing research and innovation planning. The challenges and scepticism facing Big Science were discussed but, despite them, we stand firm in support of the society-wide benefit of scientific projects of such magnitude. In concluding this volume, this article sums these perspectives, drawn from the joint CERN-LSE Alumni Association Belgium workshop held in 2019. Earlier, wider and greater benefits flow from Big, multi-disciplinary Science. These benefits are greatest when the core project is developed in open interaction with youth, local and global communities, engaging ecosystems capable of nurturing early spin-off innovation.

En esta entrevista, Elisenda Paluzie analiza los orígenes del denominado movimiento Post-Crash en Cataluña y cuáles han sido los efectos sobre una institución referente como la que dirige: la Facultad de Economía y Empresa de la Universidad de Barcelona (UB). Paluzie considera que este movimiento crítico iniciado tras el inicio de la última crisis económica se fundamenta básicamente en la falta de pluralidad en la enseñanza a partir de tres elementos: el teórico, el metodológico y el interdisciplinario. En este texto comenta cómo son tratados estos tres factores en su facultad y concluye la necesidad de evolucionar en la docencia en la economía. En este sentido destaca el proyecto The core Project, una iniciativa que tiene por objeto replantear la enseñanza de la economía con nuevos manuales, ya que considera que los dominantes actualmente siguen planteando las cuestiones como si los últimos veinte años no hubieran existido.
