“…As the Court stated in Dano, to accept that persons who do not have a right of residence under Directive 2004/38 may claim entitlement to social assistance under the same conditions as those applying to nationals of the host Member State would run counter to an objective of the directive, set out in recital 10 in its preamble, namely preventing Union citizens who are nationals of other Member States from becoming an unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the host Member State.' 60 Many commentators have criticised the change in the direction in the case law as representing a 'clearly restrictive judicial approach', 61 a 'reactionary phase',' 62 and a 'pre-Rome' stage, 63 and have pointed out that the restrictions on access to benefits should be interpreted narrowly. 64 At the same time, others have expressed criticism of the previous expansive approach of the court, highlighting the lack of legitimacy of judicial activism and pointing out that the Court's early jurisprudence on Union citizenship was characterised by the absence of a convincing methodology and the tendency to interpret secondary Community law against its wording and purpose.…”

This article comprises a study of the negotiation of the Commission’s proposal for amending Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 on the coordination of social security systems and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 in the context of EU integration theories. This analysis is used to argue that the current integration stage in the coordination of social security is a complex phenomenon which displays elements of intergovernmentalism, neo-functionalism and post-functionalism. The negotiation process highlights the disagreements between the key players which may have important consequences for the future of EU regulation in the area of coordination of social security. The article concludes that the signs of intergovernmentalism are prevalent, as evident in the attention the Commission has given to the concerns of the Member States, the negotiating position of the Council, and the vote of the European Parliament which failed to approve the proposal at the first reading. This prevalence has led to a pause in the reform of the coordination regulations and may eventually lead to compromises that will weaken the progress of integration in the future. At the same time, the article argues that the theory of post-functionalism is important in explaining the phenomenon of Brexit with regard to the UK’s position in the negotiation of the Commission’s proposal and its future relevance for UK and EU citizens affected by the UK’s departure from the EU. The article concludes that disintegration along the lines of post-functionalism should not prevent the reintegration of the UK into the EU coordination of social security schemes, but may reinforce the prevalence of intergovernmentalism.

Musical Co-creativity and Learning—the Fluid Body Language of Receptive-Responsive Dialogue

This article explores how a musical awareness of natural bodily form as an expression of receptive-responsive relationship between stillness and movement can contribute to co-creative dialogue and deep learning that reaches beyond the often superficial knowledge and praxis of intellectually constituted thought and language. It will draw especially on findings from research on the Kokas pedagogy an experiential extension of the Kodaly method of music education combining improvised movement and collective reflection. These findings highlight how the physical dimensions of this pedagogy cultivated new, embodied modes of creative ideation and connectivity, presenting unique challenges and opportunities in the observed educational contexts.Keywords Embodied dialogue . Knowledge as encounter . Creative presence . Flow . Focused attention Prologue I am a researcher of education. My earlier studies focused on children's collaborative learning in the classroom. Trained as a linguist, my specialisation and passion had been the study of talk, which involved recording and analysing paired discourse. As I was transcribing, I was often struck by the synchronicity of children's body movement as they talked their way through paired activities. I marvelled at their collaborative 'dance' as they shared ideas through talk. It appeared that, just by looking at language-based communication, I was missing out on something special. One image has particularly stuck in my memory: two 9-year-old boys engrossed in writing a shared story, and swaying like trees together, from side to side. I Human Arenas (2018) 1:56-78 https://doi

I support a fundamental principle stressed by theEncyclopédie, that theUnity of Knowledgeis the direct consequence of the unity of the human brain. All of us are animated by what Claude Bernard called a ‘kind of thirst for the unknown’ which ennobles and enlivens scientific inquiry. We must humbly confess for now our immense ignorance –ignoramus. But to satisfy Claude Bernard’s ‘ardent desire for knowledge’ we should never say, as some philosophers still do,ignorabimusabout the human brain. Thanks to recent developments in neuroscience, we can now propose a common set of brain processes that account for the production of the diversity of knowledge. Thanks to these processes, we can work on a reunification of the true, the good and the beautiful, not as a uniform, monotonous culture, but as a network of cooperative diversity favouring intellectual and emotional exchanges among disciplines.
