There is a disconnect between artists’ applications of entrepreneurial behavior in their practice and evaluations of artists as productive members of their communities. Informed by interviews with Nashville-based artists to investigate how artists understand their creativity, artistic practice, and approaches to entrepreneurship in the context of a their vibrant, artistically oriented community, this study finds that artists engage in entrepreneurial behavior by deploying creativity in multiple domains, including art, business, and the social, with their skills in each being important towards preserving the motives of their artistic practice. The findings highlight artists as multi-faceted creatives capable of transforming their practice through entrepreneurial pursuits.

Abstract Date Presented 04/19/21 The Social Cognition Screening Questionnaire–Taiwan version (SCSQT) was designed to assess multiple domains of social cognition in people with schizophrenia in Taiwan. The SCSQT contains five subscales and provides estimates of the core domains of mentalizing and social perception and an overall social cognition score. Our validation of SCSQT indicated that the SCSQT had good test–retest reliability, acceptable random measurement error, and negligible practice effects.

This article is guided by several premises. First, community coalitions fit with a social ecology perspective of health promotion because they work with multiple domains and promote community change. Second, the community context affects the functioning of coalitions. Third, key leaders are an important part of the social fabric of a community and influence the social ecology of a community; therefore a coalition should include key leaders and influence them and their organizations. The purpose of this article is to advance an understanding of the social ecology of coalitions by describing concepts, variables and results from two national studies and by providing anecdotal evidence and a measure of key leaders from our own work. After briefly defining and describing community coalitions, we: (1) review literature on contextual variables and community coalitions, (2) provide examples of contextual variables influencing community coalition development, and (3) discuss the relationship of key leaders in multiple domains and community coalitions. The article concludes with a discussion of the need for a framework of contextual variables and a promising next step.

20th century; it is a period in which two world wars took place and a new world order in human history occurred in many areas of innovation, development and transformation. After the war, the meaning, content and boundaries of art and the artist have been discussed, expanded and gained a new dimension and acceleration with the deep changes in the social, economic, political and cultural fields with the crisis brought on by the war. This complex period also manifested itself in the traditional art scene in France. The French artist Daniel Buren (b. 1938) has witnessed this process; by adopting the innovations in art with his productions, he has demonstrated his space-oriented conceptual works dating back to the present day in a period in which daily life accelerates with the mechanization of art practice and conceptual art movements are in succession. In this article, in order to comprehend the point of the artist and his productions from the beginning until today; the cultural environment in France after the World War II, the developments in the art world, the changes in the social field and the artistic dimensions of these changes are mentioned. The development and practices of the French artist Daniel Buren's artistic practice, policy, artistic attitude and style for the place, architecture, workshop and museum in the period from the second half of the 1960s to the present day are examined with examples with certain sources. In this context, the views and concepts that the artist advocates with his original productions are included. Finally, in the research, the evaluations were made in line with the sources and information obtained about the art adventure and development of the artist, and the innovations, contributions and different perspectives he offered about the art are discussed.

Federally funded research in Canada is of significant scope and scale. The implications of research in the colonial project has resulted in a fraught relationship between Indigenous Peoples and Western research. Research governance, as an aspect of public administration, is evolving. The relationality inherent in new public governance (NPG)—a nascent public governance regime—may align with Indigenous relationality concepts. Recent societal advances, such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the Truth and Reconcilliation Commission of Canada (TRC), and the Indigenous Institutes Act in Ontario, provide further impetus for Indigenous self-determination in multiple domains including research. This article advocates for Indigenous research sovereignty and concludes with suggestions for ways in which federal funding agencies, specifically the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), could contribute to the advancement of Indigenous research sovereignty.

No cabe duda de que en el escenario de crisis socioambiental por el que atravesamos es más que urgente y necesaria la transformación de la humanidad hacia los parámetros de la sostenibilidad. Este cambio supone afrontar uno de los mayores retos en la actualidad y desde el prisma de la práctica artística realizar esta necesaria transición hace entender el arte como una de las herramientas más potentes para la transformación. La capacidad de interconexión entre el campo simbólico y el práctico de la creación artística vinculada a la conciencia ecológica, puede activar la empatía y reforzar los vínculos de respeto con la naturaleza para despertar la conciencia ecológica en los individuos. Consciente de la diversidad de artistas que, desde los años sesenta hasta la actualidad, han trabajado desde diferentes estrategias para activar lazos de reconciliación entre la humanidad y la naturaleza ante el desequilibrio ecológico, el presente ensayo se centrará particularmente en exponer mi propia estrategia creativa como un ejemplo más para despertar la conciencia ecológica desde la práctica artística.Esta investigación forma parte uno de los resultados de mi tesis doctoral y en ella se muestra el proceso de creación y recorrido de uno de mis últimos proyectos artísticos Radici in equilibrio. Obra con la cual, se han podido estudiar las fases de creación de una posible estrategia artística de concienciación ecológica. Se pretende mostrar, con tal caso práctico, la idea de que la creación contemporánea puede atender a los procesos ecológico-sociales, siendo capaz de introducirse en los nuevos escenarios de la transición hacia la sostenibilidad. La práctica artística se convierte en un activador de consciencias capaz de florecer en los territorios fértiles que emergen del estado de crisis socioambiental. Synergies in the art work “Roots in balance”. An artistic strategy for a transition towards environmental awareness.Through my artistical position, facing the ecological crisis, this article exposes and analyses one on my last project “Radici in equilibrio”. Art piece with which I’ve been able to go deep into the creation phases of an artistic strategy to create ecological consciousness. With this practical case, I demonstrate that contemporary creation can handle ecological-social processes, being able to introduce itself into new transitional scenarios through sustainability. The artistic practice gets to be, in this way consciousness producer able to grow in fertile territories that arise from the social and environmental crisis condition.

Kris as an artifact is an expression of community culture in the form of artifacts as the result of ideas and human behavior in the community (in this case Javanese society). Kris which was originally used as a bond in socio-cultural values turned into individual-cultural bonds that could be used as assets in business alternatives. To reach the objectives, the steps of research that are carried out with a qualitative research model with a cultural approach are needed, referring to the teachings of Javanese culture in accordance with the philosophy of Javanese culture. This research produces preservation kris, which is stored and treated as one of the culture of kelangenan, as a cultural heritage, and in conservation, namely conservation by trying to develop values in accordance with the social institutions of the community. Kris as a national cultural asset leads to a conservation-progressive force. The tough kris that develops in the kris community is revitalizing conservation (sanggit), vitally still referring to traditional art as its main reference. Kris in the latest development has become a trend in the development of the art business.

This article considers the significance of the moving image as an archival record and its implications for the ways in which memory interacts with history. As a defining technology of recording and documenting, film is entangled with history in its making: however, what kinds of narrative ensues from images whose contextual references are opaque to us? What can we garner from footage whose indexical connections have been lost? By focusing on the artistic practice of filmmakers Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi, I suggest a reading of early-twentieth-century archival film footage, including found footage and home movies, in terms of affect. Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi's approach focuses on the procedural features of the frame and an excavation of the features that can be drawn from its defining connotations. Through an excavation of the most minute details within the frame, they point out the kind of ‘presence’ that film projects back to us as gesture, expression, and movement and abstract from them forgotten memories of everyday encounters and the affective forms that mundane actions took. In particular, I shall focus on works by Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi's that deal with encounters with ‘the other’ and the visual practices of representation that inform them. The legibility that Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi's approach brings to a reading of archival film footage is indicative for broader methodological considerations of the ways in which the moving image encodes affect and emotion. This is relevant for an understanding of what Lauren Berlant refers to as the ‘realm of the social’ by uncovering the structures of perception and representation of the past and the significance that they might take in the present.

Research on social entrepreneurship (SE) has increased exponentially during the past decade. Even though this social phenomenon has aroused the interest of researchers, many aspects have not yet been fully studied. In this study, the goal is to analyze how the factors that define the behavior of social entrepreneurs are affected by the perception that they have about the development of the social enterprise sector (SES development). We perform an empirical multivariable analysis using 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data related to SE, with an international sample that contains information of 17,778 entrepreneurs, of which 6470 are social entrepreneurs. The empirical analysis is carried out applying binary response models, introducing interaction terms to analyze the moderating effect of SES development. Our results show that the entrepreneurs’ perception of the SES development exerts a moderating effect over three different groups of factors: 1) factors related to self-perception about entrepreneurship (including values, perceptions, and entrepreneurial skills); 2) demographic factors (gender, age, and education level), and 3) context and entrepreneurial environment (including factors related to entrepreneurs’ perception of societal values, entrepreneurship environment, and economic development). This moderating effect has very important implications, especially for policymakers. Our results show that SES development could amplify some effects, both positively and negatively. Therefore, the design and implementation of policies to support SE must consider the moderating role of this variable on the entrepreneurial behavior, because it could affect the effectiveness of such policies.

This introduction considers the author’s position to the subject matter and book, including its insistence that people who experience poverty should enjoy human rights all of the time, even at the time of music-making. A critical ethnography of human rights in artistic practice, it introduces what musicking, or the social processes of engaging music, does and does not do for urban poor from the perspective of capability development and human rights. Developing capabilities is a key element of struggling toward human rights, but these capabilities may not be human rights in themselves. The prelude describes the author’s roles as a violinist, arts organizer and researcher in urban poverty as well as how she overcame methodological challenges faced during the study.
