`Football Remembers':The Collective Memory of Football in the Spectacle of British Military Commemoration

This article examines two major rituals of contemporary national life in the UK: association football and military commemoration. It explores the ways in which remembering is enacted and performed within UK football and how these processes are related to issues of power, agency and identity in Britain today. Employing the concepts of collective memory and spectacle, this article argues that ‘memory entrepreneurs’ have sought to embed football as ‘site of memory’ in the performance of military commemoration. It concludes that this has contributed to the transformation of military commemoration, from a ritual that is observed to a spectacle that is consumed. This paper thus contributes to emergent debates on the militarization of civilian space, the shifting nature of civil–military relations in the twenty-first century, and the role of military remembrance in the reproduction of Britishness

Psychometrische eigenschappen van en overlap tussen de OQ-45, BDI en WHOQoL-Bref bij uitkomstonderzoek

Item does not contain fulltextDue to several developments in the (mental) health care, outcome monitoring has been seen as more and more important. For this purpose disorder specific instruments (BDI), symptom based generic instruments, instruments measuring daily functioning (both OQ-45), and instruments measuring quality of life (WHOQoL-Bref) are widely used. This study investigated whether these instruments overlap and whether they actually measure something else. Also was examined if the psychometric properties found in previous research could be replicated, which proved to be the case. Significant overlap between the instruments was found. The use of a disorder specific instrument (BDI) in addition to the two other instruments does not seem to lead to additional information and therefore doesn't seem to be necessary

'Screen and intervene': governing risky brains

This article argues that a new diagram is emerging in the criminal justice system as it encounters developments in the neurosciences. This does not take the form that concerns many ‘neuroethicists’ — it does not entail a challenge to doctrines of free will and the notion of the autonomous legal subject — but is developing around the themes of susceptibility, risk, pre-emption and precaution. I term this diagram ‘screen and intervene’ and in this article I attempt to trace out this new configuration and consider some of the consequences
