The brief explorations of radiation exposures presented within this essay draw primarily from nuclear art and culture and contribute to the field of nuclear aesthetics, which has long been fixated on the problem of visibility and the representation of nuclear residues. The examples draw primarily from photographic technologies and other aesthetic registers that capture visual residues of radiation. The challenges of nuclear aesthetics are also political and social. This constellation of objects and inquiries is meant to explore the fraught political, environmental, and social relations between radiation, visibility, toxicity, through the concept of exposure. They offer feminist glimpses into other ways of thinking exposure, as it develops in relation to (often imperceptible) toxicity that is not inscribed into a logic that partitions the passive victim of suffering from some pure or unaffected subject. They are examples that are both forms of exposure specific to the nuclear while also, perhaps, helping to expose more nuanced and complex ways of understanding forms of exposure that extend beyond nuclearity.

Existen múltiples metodologías de Atención y-o acompañamiento Psicosocial a las víctimas de diversos tipos de violencia, entre ellas la del conflicto armado Metodologías que reconocen el sufrimiento y dolor en contextos socioeconómicos particulares que han sido objeto de confrontaciones armadas (Baró 1990) En el caso de países latinoamericanos en donde han sido predominantes históricos de guerra y conflicto interno se formulan y desarrollan diversas formas de atender a nivel individual, grupal o colectiva ya sea desde lo institucional o desde las organizaciones sociales, en donde procesos concernientes al el arte, la cultura, así como, técnicas relacionadas con la salud en líneas denominadas alternativas o integrativas. Estas metodologías inciden en la reparación emocional, en la reconstrucción de proyecto de vida. De igual manera contribuyen a la recuperación de la confianza en sí mismo, la reconstrucción de las relaciones sociales. El artículo desarrollará algunos elementos generales partiendo de tres preguntas centrales y terminando con la experiencia de haber diseminado la experiencia a estudiantes de pregrado y postgrado de la Universidad de Coímbra (Portugal) que tienen algún tipo de relacionamiento con la atención y acompañamiento a víctimas de diversos tipos de violencia y a quienes les interesaba conocer el caso colombiano.There are multiple methodologies of care and psychosocial support to the victims of various types of violence, including armed conflict. Methodologies that recognize suffering and pain in particular socioeconomic contexts that have experienced armed confrontations (Baró 1990). In the case of Latin American countries, where war and internal conflict have prevailed, different forms of care have been formulated and developed at the individual or collective level, both in institutions and in social organizations, namely processes related to art and culture, as well as the health-related techniques, in line with so-called alternative or integrative techniques. These methodologies affect the emotional repair, the reconstruction of the life project. In the same way, they contribute to the recovery of self-confidence, the reconstruction of social relations. The article will develop some general elements based on three central questions and ends with the dissemination of the experience for undergraduate and graduate students of the University of Coimbra (Portugal) that have some kind of relation with the attention and accompaniment of victims of diverse types of violence and are interested in the Colombian case.

Material Setting

Place can be understood as not a fixed geographical location, but as an event that emerges in the encounter between continually transforming materialand human elements, social relations and practices; that place is composed
of strands of human experience, memory, histories and stories in a particular material setting. This article draws on Amin and Thrift’s “ontology of encounter” and Lefebvre’s method of rhythmanalysis to explore the complex interactions of geography, social practices and city environment. An “auditory turn” offers ways of thinking about the mobilities, encounters and narratives of an urban neighbourhood that combine and merge to give rise to a soundscape. A turn toward the sensory and auditory offers new paths for analysis in urban geography, mobilities and infrastructure studies.

Ways Of Thinking

Social work students are trained to develop and maintain a professional sense of integrity, particularly when working in environments beyond their control. Using critical reflection as an example, students are encouraged to pause and reflect during practice encounters, which entails a reassessment of the situation. The aim is to help transform taken for granted ways of thinking and doing things into best practices. In this sense, students are provided with perspectives on theoretical frameworks and encouraged to appreciate the essence of maximizing practice through a culture of learning and reflection. Through the approach of critical reflection, students are also encouraged to understand how power functions in society, especially through ways in which an individual attempts to maintain unequal social relations. Critical reflection therefore helps students to fill knowledge gaps on how to discover and address inequalities in practice situations.

Three contemporary art projects suggest some useful reflections to introduce a discontinuity in the ways of thinking about the transformation of existing spaces going beyond the misunderstood oppositions as “old” and “new”. In Trentino, the artworks by Collective OP, Anna Scalfi Eghenter and Michele De Lucchi show how art and culture are extraordinary means for social innovation but also for promoting new architectural practices based on reduce, reuse and recycle that may be kept in mind for the development of further initiatives.

The Aesthetic

Since the 1960s, a ’theatricalization’ of contemporary art and culture has questioned the modernist ideal of the autonomy of art, highlighting instead the performativity and sociality of art as event. The performative and theatrical viewer-involving tendency in art has redefined the relations between art, context and viewer and inspired many museums to rethink the political rationality implied in their social role as authoritative producers of knowledge and their educative and civilizing functions. The museum - once considered an isolated and privileged public space reserved for a small section of citizens - is today developing new museum policies and strategies based on performative and participatory forms of knowledge production, thus aiming to play a more active and perhaps critical role in constituting new social relations and mobilizing new collectivities and communities. In this context, the present article wishes to suggest a performative reading of the art exhibition The Model: Palle Nielsen from 2014 at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, in order to understand the various performative modes of participation which the art installation makes possible. The article explores what makes the artwork political, how it achieves and performs political agency and to what effect, thus aiming to redefine the political in art not in terms of content but as unforeseeable effects of the performativity of the aesthetic form.

Ways Of Thinking

A recent revival of interest in Marxism in contemporary Japan suggests new ways of thinking about Pure Land Buddhist utopianism as politically significant. Drawing on the work of Japanese Marxist Hiromatsu Wataru and Korean historian Baik Youngseo, Nakajima Takahirō makes an argument for rethinking East Asian relations from the periphery. Shinshū—with its emphasis on exile, marginal places, solidarity, and conviviality—has much to offer theorists interested in new ways of approaching social relations, as is already apparent in the work of Hishiki Masaharu and his understanding of the Pure Land as a principle of criticism. This way of imagining the Pure Land in a critical engagement with the real world should not be understood as brand new; on the contrary, it represents a return to the kind of critical hope that characterized medieval Pure Land.

This chapter presents a case study regarding East Germany after reunification, and frames it in terms of a larger and interdisciplinary inquiry into what demilitarization is all about. Narrow conceptions of demilitarization that are centered solely on the destruction of weapons fetishize weapons, and these narrow views obscure analysis of the social relations and cultural constructions upon which militarization programs are dependent. Demilitarization implies a reversal of an implicit process or program—an unraveling—of ways of thinking and sensing that made a military solution thinkable and desirable. The chapter also looks at the salient foci of demilitarization at the “micro” level of everyday life and lived experience, and how states attempt to make certain kinds of citizens.

Direction Of Effects

Abstract. In family systems, it is possible for one to put oneself at risk by eliciting aversive, high-risk behaviors from others ( Cook, Kenny, & Goldstein, 1991 ). Consequently, it is desirable that family assessments should clarify the direction of effects when evaluating family dynamics. In this paper a new method of family assessment will be presented that identifies bidirectional influence processes in family relationships. Based on the Social Relations Model (SRM: Kenny & La Voie, 1984 ), the SRM Family Assessment provides information about the give and take of family dynamics at three levels of analysis: group, individual, and dyad. The method will be briefly illustrated by the assessment of a family from the PIER Program, a randomized clinical trial of an intervention to prevent the onset of psychosis in high-risk young people.

Abstract. Meta-accuracy and perceptions of reciprocity can be measured by covariances between latent variables in two social relations models examining perception and meta-perception. We propose a single unified model called the Perception-Meta-Perception Social Relations Model (PM-SRM). This model simultaneously estimates all possible parameters to provide a more complete understanding of the relationships between perception and meta-perception. We describe the components of the PM-SRM and present two pedagogical examples with code, openly available on https://osf.io/4ag5m . Using a new package in R (xxM), we estimated the model using multilevel structural equation modeling which provides an approachable and flexible framework for evaluating the PM-SRM. Further, we discuss possible expansions to the PM-SRM which can explore novel and exciting hypotheses.
