Debunking taste

ABSTRACT We are often confronted with attempts to debunk our aesthetic tastes, like: “You only like jazz because you’re a pretentious hipster,” or, “Your love of the Western canon is just colonialism speaking.” Such debunking arguments often try to give a socio-historical accounting, intended to de-legitimize our tastes by showing that they arise from processes uninterested in real aesthetic value. One common version is the Art Populist debunk: that claims of aesthetic expertise in esoteric arts are really just elitist gatekeeping. Then we have its mirror twin, the Art Expert debunk: that the populist love of simple arts serves the interests of profiteering entertainment corporations dispensing simplified slop. Suppose we accept one of these debunking argument. How are we supposed to got on? Are we supposed to not like the things we like, or force ourselves to choke down food we don’t enjoy? And suppose we accept both of these debunking arguments — what then? Are we supposed to simply give up our grip on beauty altogether? This is hard to imagine. Aesthetic debunking arguments have a harder time getting a grip on us, because aesthetic life involves a distinctively tight relationship between our felt aesthetic phenomena and our aesthetic judgments. Aesthetic life gives us phenomenal resistance to debunking arguments, when our felt loves lag behind our endorsed beliefs. I suggest a way through that offers a livable accommodation. We may be able to treat such debunking arguments, not as targeting the positive content of our taste, but as targeting the boundaries and limitations on our taste. That is, a Populist may not be able to debunk my deep felt love of opera, but they may be able to debunk my dismissal of dance-pop. In this case, we can take onboard both the Art Expert’s and the Art Populist’s debunking arguments, as targeting different varieties of narrowness and dismissal. These debunkings, then, move us, not towards aesthetic nihilism, but aesthetic expansionism.

Prognostic Disclosure to Dying Adolescents Against Parental Wishes: A Point-Counter Point Debate.

An adolescent's last moment of life is an emotionally and medically complex time. Children may grapple with understanding the things happening to them and with grief of a future lost; caregivers struggle to simultaneously balance deep sorrow, hope, and love; and healthcare providers fight to maintain sound medical and ethical decision making. Increased discussion regarding adolescent end-of-life care is needed so that clinicians may better understand how to engage in ethically based medical management during these events. This holds particularly true in situations where potentially conflicting ideas exist between clinicians and family members. We describe the case of an acutely and terminally ill adolescent who remained cognitively intact but with rapidly advancing multiple organ failure and whose parents requested that he remain uninformed of his critical illness and prognosis.

A well-rounded life: the story of Eva West – pioneer accountant, philanthropist and environmentalist

PurposeThis paper presents the biography of one of Australia’s earliest female accountants, Miss Evelyn Maude West (aka Eva). The paper uses this history sub-genre to understand the significant impacts Eva West made across several fields. Eva West was not only a pioneer woman accountant but also an active philanthropist with an interest in social issues and a nature lover who promoted and encouraged an appreciation of the environment.Design/methodology/approachThe paper leverages a diverse array of qualitative resources, responding to Carnegie and Napier's (1996) call to expand the concept of the accounting-based archive. Notably, rare nature study diaries and a book detailing camping adventures serve as poignant examples, illustrating Eva West's profound social and environmental engagement. Additionally, personal and business letters, digitised newspapers, pamphlets, annual reports, minute books and even poems contribute to the comprehensive exploration of Eva West's life and impact. Collectively, these varied sources offer a rich tapestry of evidence, facilitating the documentation of this unique narrative.FindingsThroughout her life, Eva West made significant contributions as a pioneering woman in the field of accounting, a dedicated philanthropist and a passionate environmentalist. Together, these offer a multifaceted portrait of a well-rounded individual. With a solid foundation in accounting, Eva utilized her expertise to benefit numerous charitable organisations, leaving a lasting impact on the community. Moreover, her deep love for the environment is illustrated in nature study diaries and books documenting her camping adventures, highlighting the interconnectedness between her accounting pursuits and her commitment to environmental stewardship.Practical implicationsWhile previous studies briefly mention the additional contributions of early women to various organisations and movements, none provide the depth of insight seen in the portrayal of Miss Eva West. Rather than critiquing these earlier narratives, this observation presents an opportunity for further research to honour pioneering individuals for their multifaceted roles beyond accounting. Future studies could spotlight trailblazers as accountants with diverse interests and societal contributions, whether in social or environmental spheres. Additionally, this paper demonstrates how archives maintained by individuals, such as nature or travel diaries and camping books, can enrich accounting and accountability-based historical research.Originality/valueBiographical studies in accounting have played a significant role in advancing historical research, yet there remains a call for additional studies to gain deeper insights into specific individuals. Few biographical narratives have explored how accountants integrate their professional careers with other interests, particularly highlighting the well-roundedness of individuals, especially women. Furthermore, this paper contributes to filling the gap in research that examines the intersection of accounting professionals and environmental concerns.

Spiritual Transformation of the Main Character in the Tarung Sarung Movie

One of the current phenomenal issues being widely discussed by the public is the disbelief in the existence of God (atheism). The issue of atheism is addressed in the film "Tarung Sarung." The purpose of this research is to understand the reasons behind Deni Ruso, an atheist, becoming a devout follower of Islam, as well as the process of Deni Ruso's spiritual transformation. This research adopts a qualitative research approach and utilizes semiotic analysis as the method. The results of this study indicate that the underlying causes for the main character's transformation from being an atheist to a devout follower of Islam are as follows: firstly, friendship. Through friendship, emotional support and inspiration can be provided. When someone has friends who are involved in spiritual practices, it can serve as a motivator for embarking on a spiritual journey independently. Secondly, the environment that facilitates access to places of worship and meditation practices can influence individuals to actively engage in spiritual exercises. Thirdly, the experience of deep love can open one's heart and mind to a deeper spiritual dimension. Furthermore, the process of spiritual transformation experienced by the main character involves self-awareness that God plays a significant role in life, as well as believing in religion as a guide for behavior and regulating all aspects to attain tranquility in both worldly life and the hereafter.

Aspects of Shrine Devotion and its Entwined Communication with the Lived Sufi Culture in Karachi

This paper endeavors to gain insight into the phenomenon of sacred presence, as it is perceived, expressed, and defined by devotees of diverse Sufi orders in the context of a sampling of ritual practices, narratives, and beliefs connected to eight Sufi saints’ tombs in Karachi. The paper explores how devotion, tradition, and faith through the saints are preserved within the physical and spiritual framework of shrines and play an indispensable role in the lives of the ordinary person. How a deep love and veneration are epitomized as a testimony to the Saints’ selfless service to God’s creation, and how these sacred spaces have stood the test of time in preserving tradition and the essence of the spiritual. This paper investigates rituals, and practices and how through the singular thread of devotion to the saints they connect various communities that make up the diverse populace of Karachi.

It investigates the ways this culture becomes the common thread of connection, unity, and continuity for a vast populace that identifies with the connection (nisbat), of the saints (auliya) and their shrines (dargahs).

Mahabbah Concept According to Abu Hamid Muhammad Al-Ghazali

According to Sufi thought, every step we take in life is an opportunity to learn more about God and become closer to him. Serious believers in God have a decision between the following three paths, each of which is informed by one of the three fundamental capabilities of the human mind. If a person is willing to put in their best effort, they will engage in jihad (mujahid) and seek martyrdom in the sake of Allah SWT. If he uses his mind to its fullest capacity, he may engage in ijtihad and become closer to God's truth via inference. If he puts out his best spiritual effort, he will engage in mujahadah in order to deepen his devotion to God. following the teachings of Abu Hamid Muhammad Al-Ghazali. QS Surah Al-Imran [2]:31 and Al-Baqarah [3]:165 explain mahabbah, although they don't go into great depth about the many steps involved. Humans are encouraged to be able to carry out the obligations of Muslims because this will bring us close to Allah SWT. This verse is included in the hubbun chapter of the book of tafsir arba'in fi usul al-din, where he explains that the ultimate love is only Allah with us carrying out his commands and staying away from his prohibitions, then this is clear evidence of our love for him. The approach is a socio-historical character analysis that employs the author's tafsir book as an analytical knife. Findings are presented in the guise of an explanation of the Arabic term mahabbah, which means "deep love" or "fondness" and comes from the verb Ahabba-Yuhibbu-mahabbatan. To have a mahabbah is to have an intense emotional attachment to anything to the point that it takes precedence over one's own life, happiness, and possessions. Mahabbah may also refer to the internal and external disposition of one who demonstrates love for the Owner of All Greatness by obeying His precepts and avoiding His admonitions. which can be easily put into practise and has not lost any of its relevance.
