Do artists' justificatory strategies to obtain government grants reflect expectations from the funding body, or are they predominantly tied to artists' field positions? Using Multiple Correspondence Analysis on Flemish (Belgium) visual artists' grant proposals spanning 51 years (1965–2015, n = 494), we find that, with some notable exceptions, field positions and artists' justifications for obtaining subsidies are only marginally related. Instead, strategies mainly reflect the period they are written in, showing the influence of both cultural policy and the art field. These findings support Bourdieu's idea that there is no mechanical homology between positions and position-takings, but that the 'space of possibles' in which agents express themselves, strongly bears on this relationship. Furthermore, our study suggests that strategic considerations turn the grant proposal into a genre.

Wartime correspondence between the conductor Sir Henry Wood and the composer Dmitrii Shostakovich marks the earliest point of Anglo-Soviet musical exchange at the highest artistic levels. Though short-lived due to Wood's death in 1944, the correspondence shows how genuine warmth and mutual regard could coexist with a relationship that was brokered by government officials. Other archive sources around them reveal the varying shades of cynicism and sincerity that underpinned the whole project of wartime cultural exchange between Britain and the USSR. Though this rendered Anglo-Soviet connections inescapably underpinned by political motivations, it could not prevent genuine artistic and personal relationships from forming, albeit on a limited basis. The result, in this case, was a brief correspondence that acted as a crucial element of goodwill in Anglo-Soviet diplomacy during the war.

This essay examines the limits and possibilities of the mid-century broadcasting field in Northern Ireland, by attending to the dynamic interplay at the BBC's Belfast station of three competing regional formations: the political regionalism of the Northern Irish state; the cultural regionalism of a coterie of Northern Irish writers and intellectuals; and the broadcasting regionalism instituted as part of the BBC's policy of national programming. These contrary regionalisms each had different and, at times, competing criteria for what constituted particular and typical details of life in the North, and broadcasters had to negotiate the inexact correspondences among them with ears tuned to the political relations triangulated by Belfast, Dublin, and London. Beginning with a consideration of how broadcasters in Northern Ireland produced forms of mediated actuality both in and beyond the studio, the essay concludes with Sam Hanna Bell's This is Northern Ireland (1949), a feature that explores the tension of overspill and containment effected less by the partition of Ireland than by the contradictions inherent to the broadcasting field.

Abstract One of the most important correspondence of the Risorgimento and unification period is that exchanged between Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli (1835-1910) and Quintino Sella (1827-1884) not only for scientific and political stature of the two protagonists, but also for the opportunity it offers to discover new aspects and perspectives on histories of mathematics, astronomy, sciences and society. They concern, for example, the Turin and national university context, the cultural policies related to the development of research and improvement of scientific teachings, what kind of organization to prepare for meteorology and what instruments to equip observatories. The correspondence also reveals the ideals and aspirations of the two friends, as well as the difficulties and obstacles that they were able to overcome with determination, tenacity and strong sense of ethics.

International audience ; Eugenio Beltrami was a prominent figure of 19th century Italian mathematics. HeHe was also involved in the social, cultural and political events of his country. This paper aims at throwing fresh light on some aspects of Beltrami's life and work by using his personal correspondence. Unfortunately, Beltrami's Archive has never been found, and only letters by Beltrami - or in a few cases some drafts addressed to him - are available. In this paper some letters addressed by Beltrami to his foreign colleagues are published and annotated for the first time in order to give a more exhaustive picture of Beltrami's personality and to point out the impact of his work in Italy and abroad.
