Theoretici zoals Tobin Siebers, Ato Quayson en Martha Stoddard Holmes hebben onderzocht hoe handicaps verschillende emoties oproepen en hoe deze relatie centraal staat in het sociale leven. Dit artikel introduceert de concepten affordances en genre om deze relatie beter te begrijpen. Affordances verwijzen naar mogelijkheden voor actie binnen een bepaalde context. Affect wordt gezien als de lichamelijke capaciteit om te handelen en beïnvloed te worden. Lauren Berlant's werk over genre suggereert dat responsiviteit op affect geworteld is in generieke conventies. Deze conventies bepalen welke acties passend zijn binnen een genre. Lichamen met beperkingen kunnen deze verwachtingen verstoren en de normativiteit van gepaste acties benadrukken.

This article traces the emergence of one particular genre of discourse, the genre of "new realism" in the Dutch public debates on multicultural society from the early 1990s till Spring 2002. The focus upon different "genres" implies an interest in the performative power of discourse, i.e. the way in which any discourse, in or by its descriptions of reality, (co)produces that reality. Four distinctive characteristics of "new realism" are detected in three subsequent public debates, culminating in the genre of "hyper-realism", of which the immensely successful and recently murdered politician Pim Fortuyn proved to be the consummate champion. Cet article explique le développement d'un genre particulier de discours, le "nouveau réalisme", au sein du débat public sur la société multiculturelle aux Pays Bas. La période étudidée s'étale du début des années 1990 jusqu'au printemps 2002. L'importance attribuée aux différents "genres" reflète un intérêt pour le pouvoir performatif du discours, notamment la facon dont le discours (co)produit la réalité qu'il décrit. On décèle quatre traits distinctifs du "nouveau réalisme" dans trois débats publics qui débouchent sur le "hyper-réalisme" genre dont Pim Fortuyn, homme politique ayant connu un grand succès et victime récente d'un meurtre,s'était fait le champion attitré.

Due to their diverse funding sources, theatres are under increasing pressure to demonstrate impact on society. The Raad voor Cultuur (2023) for example advised the secretary of state to include societal impact as an additional evaluation measure next to artistic value. Many theaters, such as the Chassé Theater and Parkstad Limburg Theaters, have reformulated their missions to focus on impact of performances on visitors. This is a profound transformation from merely selling tickets and filling seats, and requires new measurement instruments to monitor, manage, and improve impact. Currently available instruments are insufficient, and effective monitoring is crucial to larger future projects that theaters are currently planning to systematically broaden impacts of performances on their communities. The specific goal of this project is to empower theaters to monitor and improve impact by developing a brief experience impact questionnaire, taking existing data from student projects conducted at the Chassé Theater about performing arts experiences on one hand, and experience impact theory innovations on the other, as starting points. We will develop potential items to measure and benchmark against established measures of valued societal outcomes, such as subjective well-being and quality of life. These will be measured in questionnaires developed with project partners Chassé Theater and Parkstad Limburg Theaters and administered before and after performances across a wide range of genres. The resulting data will enable comparison of new questionnaire items with benchmarked measures of valued societal outcomes. The final product of the project will be a brief impact questionnaire, which within several brief self-report instruments and just a few minutes can effectively be used to quantify the impact of a performing arts experience. A workshop and practice-oriented article will make this questionnaire implementable, thereby mobilizing the key enabling methodology of monitoring and impact measurement in the performing arts sector.

Er wordt in de media steeds meer gecommuniceerd over toekomstige behandelingen voor chronische ziektes. Patiënten waarbij huidige behandelingen niet effectief genoeg zijn, worden hier ook aan blootgesteld. Welk effect heeft dit op ze?Doel Het doel van het onderzoek is tweeledig: Wetenschappelijk inzicht krijgen in hoe stemming en gedrag van chronisch zieken afhangen van nieuwsberichten over behandelingen. Praktische handvatten creëren voor de communicatie van nieuwe behandelingen in groepen chronisch zieken. Resultaten Dit onderzoek loopt nog. Na afronding vind je hier een samenvatting van de resultaten. Looptijd 01 november 2015 - 01 augustus 2020 Aanpak We kijken naar de kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve eigenschappen van berichten in media over toekomstige behandelingen. We richten ons hierbij op Diabetes Mellitus type 1 en 2 en de Ziekte van Parkinson omdat over deze ziektes veel gecommuniceerd wordt en de doelgroep relatief toegankelijk en mondig is. We kijken naar (nieuws)berichten in kranten, fora en magazines en onderzoeken de volgende vraagstellingen: Welke trends zijn zichtbaar over aantallen, bronnen en journalistieke genres? In welke fase van onderzoek zitten de besproken therapieën? In hoeverre wordt er overdreven in deze berichten? Welke berichten zorgen voor een snelle verspreiding van informatie, ofwel geruchten? Welke eigenschappen van berichten leiden tot effecten op kennis, emotie en gedrag van de patiënt?
