“…They found a diverse range of interpretations, at times positioned on a spectrum relating to whether core discussions were about stability (in the case under consideration in this paper, the organizational stability of TSOs) or change (again, in this case, organizational change), possibly these being viewed as the extreme points on a spectrum. Their reflections and analysis resulted in them concurring with Rose (2007, p. 384), who argued that “resilience is in danger of becoming a vacuous buzzword from overuse and ambiguity.” To an extent, this echoes elements of Humpty Dumpty's reply to a question from Alice about the meaning of words in Lewis Carroll's famous 1871 novel Through the Looking‐Glass (Carroll, 2010, chapter six): “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” Embracing similar concerns about “resilience,” Reid and Botterill (2013) argued that, given the malleability of the concept, it is politically risky to employ it in policy debates without clearly defining the meaning attributed to it by the speaker or writer; arguments aligned with cross‐disciplinary analysis by Raetze et al. (2022).…”

This Special Issue is based on a selection of papers initially presented at the conference on “Resilience and the Third Sector” (Institute of Public Sector Accounting Research, University of Edinburgh, November 2022). The third sector is pervasive in most societies and makes a distinctive and widely‐recognized contribution to the public good by building social capital, frequently affording a foundation for social cohesiveness. However, it is a fragile sector that is significantly affected by crises (the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune). These have the potential to curtail the capacity of third‐sector organizations (TSOs) to deliver societal benefits and, in the most extreme cases, even threaten their survival. Given this, the resilience of TSOs (albeit this term has multiple layers and manifold meanings) is critical. This paper explores a range of connotations linked to third‐sector resilience and explores contemporary evidence (including the papers in this Special Issue) as to how the sector identifies, manages, and learns from crises. In addition, it provides a brief outline research agenda as a basis for encouraging researchers to focus on resilience in TSOs and enhance knowledge. It is argued that more rigorous, evidence‐based research of this nature has the potential to positively influence practice in the sector, as well as policy formulation by government and others who steer TSOs.

“…Similarly, prey-predator races could shape selection on cognitive abilities (Shultz and Dunbar 2006). As Alice said, “It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played—all over the world” (Carroll 1871, chap. II) and all individuals are just pieces to play with or against.…”

Primate sympatry shapes the evolution of their brain architecture

The main hypotheses about the evolution of animal cognition emphasise the role of conspecifics. Yet, space is often simultaneously occupied by multiple species from the same ecological guild. These sympatric species can compete for food, which may thereby stimulate or hamper cognition. Considering brain size as a proxy for cognition, we tested whether species sympatry impacted the evolution of cognition in frugivorous primates. We first retraced the evolutionary history of sympatry between frugivorous primate lineages. We then fitted phylogenetic models of the evolution of the size of several brain areas in frugivorous primates, considering or not species sympatry. We found that the whole brain or brain areas used in immediate information processing were best fitted by models not considering sympatry. By contrast, models considering species sympatry best predicted the evolution of brain areas related to long-term memory of interactions with the social or ecological environment, with a decrease of their size the higher the sympatry. We speculate that species sympatry, by generating intense food depletion, leads to an over-complexification of resource spatio-temporality that counteracts the benefits of high cognitive abilities and thereby induces lower brain area sizes. In addition, we reported that species in sympatry diversify more slowly. This comparative study suggests that species sympatry significantly contributes to shaping primate cognition and diversification.

“…Paradoxically, it also tied new romantic styles and sensibilities to a youth cultural vanguard of working-class mods and "soul boy freaks." 100 Unlike Strange, whose Visage stood for visual/image (vis), travel (visa), and modernity (age), 101 Elms and Spandau Ballet regularly placed themselves in a subcultural lineage of grassroots youth cults, constructing aristocracies of style that eschewed class hierarchies.…”

Past! Future! In Extreme!: Looking for Meaning in the “New Romantics,” 1978–82

First used in 1980, “new romantics” was a term applied to describe a British youth culture recognized initially for its sartorial extravagance and penchant for electronic music. Closely associated with the Blitz nightclub in London's Covent Garden (as well as milieus elsewhere in the UK), new romantics appeared to signal a break from the prescribed aesthetics and sensibilities of punk, rejecting angry oppositionism for glamour and aspiration. In response, cultural commentators have often sought to establish connections between new romantism and the advent of Thatcherism and “the 1980s.” This article challenges such an interpretation, offering a more complex analysis of new romanticism rooted in nascent readings of postmodernism. It also shifts our understandings of the periodization of postwar British history and the concept of “popular individualism,” arguing that youth culture provides invaluable insight both to broader processes of sociocultural change and to the construction of the (post)modern self.
