Talking about a Christine Borland sculpture: effective empathy in contemporary anatomy art (and an emerging counterpart in medical training?)
No full textThis Introduction and interview discusses the poetical and empathic insights that are a key to the effectiveness of contemporary artist Christine Borland's practice and its relevance to the medical humanities, visual art research and medical students’ training. It takes place in a context of intensive interest in reciprocity and conversation as well as expert exchange between the fields of Medicine and Contemporary Arts. The interview develops an understanding of medical research and the application of its historical resources and contemporary practice-based research in contemporary art gallery exhibitions. Artists tend not to follow prescriptive programmes towards new historical knowledge, however, a desire to form productive relationships between history and contemporary art practice does reveal practical advantages. Borland's research also includes investigations in anatomy, medical practices and conservatio

Examining the Validity of the Preschool Kitchen Task Assessment
No full textBackground and purpose. Executive function (EF) skills are necessary to set a strong foundation for play development, school readiness and social participation in young children. However, few ecologically valid assessments are available to detect potential executive function deficits in preschool aged children. The Preschool Kitchen Task Assessment (PKTA) is a new tool that measures EF in preschool aged children. The PKTA was adapted from the Kitchen Task Assessment and The Children Task Assessment by Christine Berg, Ph.D., OTR/L. This study aimed to validate the PKTA as an ecological assessment of EF in preschool aged children.
Subjects. Twenty-four typically developing children ages three to five and their parents from three preschools in Marin County.
Methods. An exploratory research design was utilized to examine the ecological validity of the PKTA. Scores from the PKTA were compared to three established neuropsychological assessments using Pearson’s r correlation.
Results. Weak and non-significant correlations were found between the PKTA and the three established neuropsychological assessments: The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Preschool Version Parent Form (BRIEF-P), Dimensional Change Card Sort (DCCS), Forward Digit & Backward Digit Span (FDS & BDS). A strong negative significant relationship was found between the participant’s age in months and their total score on the PKTA.
Discussion and conclusion. The findings do not support the validity of the PKTA as an assessment tool for EF in preschool aged children. The PKTA may be a useful ecologically valid assessment of developmental milestones in preschoolers
Christine de Pizan and Biblical Wisdom: A Feminist-Theological Point of View
No full textFifteenth-century author Christine de Pizan is admired for the extensiveness and the diversity of her writing, and is best known for her insightful defense of women. She, like many medieval writers, often used literary personification as a vehicle for conveying her thought. It has been noticed by many commentators that a number of the female literary figures Christine created had an unmistakably deified aura about them. A close engagement with her work reveals that when the need arose to affirm the inherent worth of women, or to herald the outstanding achievements of women, or to argue for the placement of women and men in the created order as equal partners in a common humanity, or to validate herself as a person of sound wisdom and learning, Christine added a theological dimension to her writing which included an affirming and wisdom-inspiring female symbol for deity. This current study, drawing upon the insights of today\u27s feminist scholars in religion, has attempted to demonstrate that the female literary theological figures she developed for the purpose of feminist authentication were inspired to a significant extent by the female figure of biblical Wisdom. Moreover, it has been shown that the scriptural Wisdom text that Christine used most extensively was the book of the Wisdom of Solomon. Scholars have long noted that in the three works under discussion here - L\u27epistre Othea la deesse, L\u27advision Cristine, and Le livre de la cite des dames - Christine utilized, borrowed from, and often revised many traditional examples of female empowerment. The recognition of her poetic as well as didactic use of the imposing female figure of biblical Wisdom adds another intriguing interpretative element to an understanding of the feminist dimension of Christine\u27s thought
"Y'all come and have fun": discovering a New Jersey country and western music scene in a box of postcards
No full textSeveral years ago, Rutgers University's Special Collections and University Archives was given a checkbox containing fifty-six postcards advertising country and western music shows at venues around New Jersey. The postcards, primarily from the 1960s, promoted shows featuring Grand Ole Opry stars like Wanda Jackson, Hank Thompson, and Elton Britt. Preliminary research revealed that the postcards touted performances by regional and local musicians, as well. A closer look at the cards began to expose how a small, hyper-local ephemeral collection could bring to light and contribute to a larger history; in this case, a once thriving but little explored New Jersey country and western music scene. The research that forms this article focuses on one venue, the Copa Club in the city of Secaucus, and its owners, brothers and musicians Shorty and Smokey Warren, as a specific case study. This collection of postcards, like so much ephemeral material in archives, could have remained undervalued and under-researched. In this case, a close consideration set forth a journey that included research in local archives and interviews with scene participants. As a result, this article explores the past of an important musical genre that evolved along with social changes in the United States. This piece contributes to the scholarship around uses and value of ephemera, as well as scholarship that continues to challenge the southern origin story of country music and examine vital locales of country music outside the South.Peer reviewe
