Het organiseren van inclusiviteit in de dienstensector: onmogelijk?
Waar voorheen vaak de focus lag op ‘diversiteit’ en ‘diversiteitsmanagement’ (de numerieke vertegenwoordiging) in zowel de wetenschap als het bedrijfsleven, verlegt inclusie de focus naar kenmerken van de organisatie en hoe die veranderd kunnen worden zodat zowel meerderheids- als minderheidsgroepen erbij horen zonder de noodzaak tot assimilatie. In deze samenvatting licht ik de drie belangrijkste conclusies toe. Dide van Eck is in juni 2022 gepromoveerd aan de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, binnen Gender & Diversity studies. Ze maakt gebruikt van etnografische en creatieve onderzoeksmethoden en bouwt theoretisch voort op practice theory, new materialism en inclusion/exclusion theories.

PSICOLOGÍA HISTÓRICA Y MATERIALISMO HISTÓRICO: LA CATEGORÍA «VALOR», OBSTÁCULOS EPISTEMOLÓGICOS Y LA PROPUESTA ESTRUCTURALISTA
In the light of the Vernant's critics against Thomson, this article try to point out the philosophical premises of the historical psychology and historical materialism that are in discussion between the authors. The Althusserian considerations of Emmanuel Terray serve as conceptual framework to the critical analysis. En la perspectiva marxista que es la suya, Thomson nos parece que comete un anacronismo: sólo cuando el trabajo libre y asalariado deviene mercancía «la forma mercantil de los productos llega a ser la forma social dominante» (Capital t.1) y el trabajo deviene trabajo abstracto (Crítica de la economía política)7. Esta afirmación, que planteamos deliberadamente con contundencia, merece sin embargo una explicación: las fuentes consideradas empíricas dependen, en parte, del objeto histórico que el investigador crea.

Between feminism and materialism : a question of method
\"Between Feminism and Materialism is a bold attempt to make sense of the relationship between feminist theory and capitalism. Addressing a number of philosophical problems that have engaged feminists over the last few decades - universals and reason, nature and essentialism, identity and non-identity, sex and gender, power and patriarchy, local and global - this innovative book breaks through feminist waves and explains the paradoxes of feminist theory by demonstrating the on-going relevance of dialectics and the concepts of exploitation, ideology, and reification. Drawing on first, second and third 'waves' of feminist theory, this exciting combination of existentialism, phenomenology and critical theory delivers a problem-based, micro-political and coalitional feminism ready to respond to the challenges presented by our thoroughly modern times\"-- Provided by publisher.

Aesthesis and perceptronium : on the entanglement of sensation, cognition, and matter
A new speculative ontology of aesthetics. In Aesthesis and Perceptronium, Alexander Wilson presents a theory of materialist and posthumanist aesthetics founded on an original speculative ontology that addresses the interconnections of experience, cognition, organism, and matter. Entering the active fields of contemporary thought known as the new materialisms and realisms, Wilson argues for a rigorous redefining of the criteria that allow us to discriminate between those materials and objects where aesthesis (perception, cognition) takes place and those where it doesn't. Aesthesis and Perceptronium negotiates between indiscriminately pluralist views that attribute mentation to all things and eliminative views that deny the existence of mentation even in humans. By recasting aesthetic questions within the framework of \"epistemaesthetics,\" which considers cognition and aesthetics as belonging to a single category that can neither be fully disentangled nor fully reduced to either of its terms, Wilson forges a theory of nonhuman experience that avoids this untenable dilemma. Through a novel consideration of the evolutionary origins of cognition and its extension in technological developments, the investigation culminates in a rigorous reevaluation of the status of matter, information, computation, causality, and time in terms of their logical and causal engagement with the activities of human and nonhuman agents.

Exploring the Relationship Between Materialistic Values and Low Subjective Wellbeing : What Are the Mediating and Moderating Variables?
Research consistently finds an association between materialistic values and low wellbeing. The mechanisms behind this relationship, however, are not well understood. As such the present project undertook the following aims. Aims: 1) To determine if the association between materialistic values and low wellbeing is moderated by holding conflicting, universalistic, values 2) To determine if materialistic values serve as a partial mediator between on-going life stressors and low wellbeing Method: The project utilised a secondary data analysis design using structural equation modelling to perform confirmatory factor analyses and moderation and mediation analyses. Results: The results of the analysis found that conflicting values moderated the relationship between materialism and low wellbeing, finding a positive association between holding both materialistic and universalistic values and wellbeing. Materialism also partially mediated the relationship between life stressors and wellbeing. Discussion: The results are discussed in relation to social determination theory and the human values literature noting in particular the novel finding that the interaction of conflicting values reduces the impact of materialism on wellbeing. Issues with the methodology are discussed and the potential for future research is highlighted.
