An academic journal is produced by a voluntary organization of scholars who create bodies of common knowledge consisting of the journal's published articles, along with all the references that link ...to the sources of knowledge for those articles. Even journals in the same discipline develop distinct bodies of common knowledge. New articles simultaneously build on and contribute to this common knowledge and we argue that this interaction with a journal's common knowledge influences how an article will be cited in the future. We explore the ecosystem identified by the Financial Times 50 management journals, demonstrating the overlap and distinction in their common knowledge. We find that journals fundamentally differ in the body of knowledge that comprises them, the sources of knowledge that contribute to them, and the journals to which they make an impact. Our findings generate novel insights into how the references cited in an article affect future citations.

I argue that the way the world appears to be plays an important role in standard scientific practice, and that therefore the way the world appears to be ought to play a similar role in metaphysics as ...well. I then show how the argument bears on a specific first-order debate in metaphysics - the debate over whether there are composite objects. This debate is often thought to be a paradigm case of a metaphysical debate that is largely insulated from scientific considerations, and is often disparaged or avoided by naturalistically inclined metaphysicians as a result. My argument below shows that this attitude is a mistake. The way in which metaphysical debates can be informed by our best science is more complex and far-reaching than is often acknowledged in the literature.

Peter Lawler, Public Thinker Levin, Yuval
Perspectives on political science,

Journal Article
Peer reviewed
The late Peter Lawler devoted a great deal of time and effort to public writing-work drawing on his deep knowledge and professional academic expertise but intended to shed light on events of the day ...for a wide, nonacademic readership. The purpose of that work was highly unusual: Lawler sought not so much to bring the tools of elite academic criticism to bear on the public situation as to bring the common sense of American culture (albeit refined and elevated through a learned Christian sensibility) to bear on the thought and behavior of American elites. If Lawler could be called a public intellectual, it is because he was an intellectual thinking on behalf of the public, and in ways that take seriously both the enormous benefits and the fundamentally tragic character of modern life. There is great value in such public writing, and Lawler offered an exceptional example of the kinds of virtues it involves.

El artículo introduce una lectura etnometodológica del concepto de habitus en Bourdieu y Elias. Pretende mostrar la relación existente entre la generación de procesos de adquisición práctica ...(etnométodos) de ciertas actividades corporales y el desarrollo de cierto sentido práctico (al que hace referencia el habitus bourdieuano) y cierta economía afectiva (a la que hace referencia el habitus eliasiano) a lo largo de la inmersión continuada en tales actividades. Para ello se ha elegido el estudio de la adquisición de un sentido y un control específicos sobre la violencia en la generación de patrones normales de dos deportes de combate: aikido y boxeo.

Right-wing populist-nationalist parties in Europe have been challenging the established liberal order for an extended period, and the year 2024 poses numerous challenges. With the growing gap between ...traditional political parties and social strata, there is an urgent need for a deeper understanding of the discourse employed by right-wing populist-nationalist parties as they attempt to address this rupture. In Romania, recent polls indicate that the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) holds the third position, positioning it as the primary opposition party, as the top two parties, PSD and PNL, have formed a coalition since 2021. Originating during the 2018 referendum debate on redefining the family, AUR has grown, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, employing a discourse that incorporates nationalist, religious, and traditional family elements. This paper seeks to analyse the discursive elements employed by the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) party, utilizing a Gramscian approach. In a year marked by European, local, general, and presidential elections, understanding how this party is shaping a new common sense to counter the existing hegemony is crucial, as the common sense plays and important role in the functioning of democracy. The paper identifies the alternative narratives proposed by AUR and examines how symbols and references to traditions are incorporated into their discourse. Common sense, as Gramsci describes it, is not a homogenous set of ideas, but rather a multitude of ideas that are constantly changing. The task of this paper is to identify the elements that form the discourses of AUR and how they form an alternative common sense.

This article suggests that although there is not much of an explicitly defined anthropology of populism, anthropologists have nevertheless been working for many years on the things we talk about when ...we talk about populism. Anthropologists should thus be exceptionally well situated to divert the debate on populism in creative ways. In particular, I argue that the term populism registers an intensified insistence of collective forces that are no longer adequately organized by formerly hegemonic social forms: a mattering-forth of the collective flesh. The article also shows why populism is such an awkward topic for anthropologists. In part, this discomfort has to do with a tension between anthropologists' effectively populist commitments to the common sense of common people at a time when that common sense can often look ugly. In part, it has to do with how the populist challenge to liberalism both aligns populist politics with anthropological critiques of liberal norms and puts pressure on anthropology's continued dependence on liberal categories for its own relevance to broader public debates.

What are India’s democratic values? Metropolitan common sense tells us that democracy is an essentially egalitarian political form and that to be good democrats, people, wherever they are and whoever ...they may be, must espouse equality as a political value. In this essay I challenge this conviction by suggesting that hierarchy is a pivotal value in India’s democratic life. Drawing on 15 years of ethnographic work conducted across northern India and touching on the history of democratic thinking in Europe, from Aristotle to Rousseau and Bernard Manin, the essay offers comparative reflections on the nature of “democratic values” in a bid for a more ethnographically grounded theory of democratic life.
Diabetes has a significant negative impact on mental health and quality of life (QoL). Underpinned by the Common Sense Model (CSM) the mediating role of coping patterns, self-efficacy, anxiety and ...depression symptoms on the relationship between illness perceptions and QoL in patients diagnosed with diabetes was evaluated. A total of 115 participants with diabetes (56, Type 1; 59, Type 2), 51% female and an average age of 52.69 (SD = 15.89) in Australia completed self-report measures of illness perceptions and psychological wellbeing. Baseline measures included illness perceptions, coping styles, psychological distress (anxiety and depression symptoms), self-efficacy, and quality of life. Mediating relationships were measured using structural equation modelling. A model of good fit was identified explaining 51% of the variation in QoL. Illness perceptions directly influenced QoL, maladaptive coping, self-efficacy, and anxiety symptoms. The relationship between illness perceptions and QoL was partially mediated by anxiety; illness perceptions and depression was fully mediated by maladaptive coping and self-efficacy; and self-efficacy and QoL was partially mediated by depressive symptoms. Findings provide validation of the CSM in a diabetes cohort. Psychological interventions likely to have the most benefit on psychological distress and QoL are those targeting mediating psychological processes, including maladaptive coping and self-efficacy.

Psychotherapists can improve their patients' outcomes during and after therapy by improving patients' self‐management. Patients who do not effectively manage their mental illness generally have worse ...outcomes. Leventhal's Common‐Sense Model of Self‐Regulation theorizes that patients' perceptions of their illness (illness representations) guide their self‐management, influencing health outcomes. The present study quantified the relations between illness representations, self‐management and outcomes for mental illnesses. We conducted a meta‐analysis and included articles if they reported (1) on adults with mental illnesses and (2) the correlation between mental illness representations and mental illness outcomes. Twenty‐five articles were included which represented 28 independent samples. The pattern of correlations among illness representations (identity, consequences, timeline, control, coherence and emotional representations), self‐management strategies (attendance, engagement and adherence to treatment) and mental illness outcomes (symptom severity and quality of life) was consistent with analyses from previous studies of mental and physical illnesses. The results found threat‐related illness representations mostly had a large relationship with worse mental illness outcomes and self‐management. Protective illness representations had a small‐to‐large relationship with better mental illness outcomes and self‐management. The results suggest patients' perceptions of their mental illness may be a critical indicator of their mental illness outcomes, including symptom severity and quality of life. This theory‐driven meta‐analysis supports calls for the inclusion of illness representations in psychotherapy for mental illness.
