Arts and Humanities Research Evaluation: No Metrics Please, Just Data

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to make an explicit case for the use of data with contextual information as evidence in arts and humanities research evaluations rather than systematic metrics. Design/methodology/approach – A survey of the strengths and limitations of citation-based indicators is combined with evidence about existing uses of wider impact data in the arts and humanities, with particular reference to the 2014 UK Research Excellence Framework. Findings – Data are already used as impact evidence in the arts and humanities but this practice should become more widespread. Practical implications – Arts and humanities researchers should be encouraged to think creatively about the kinds of data that they may be able to generate in support of the value of their research and should not rely upon standardised metrics. Originality/value – This paper combines practices emerging in the arts and humanities with research evaluation from a scientometric perspective to generate new recommendations.

'Other' Spanish Theatres: Erasure and Inscription on the Twentieth Century Spanish Stage

Abstract: 'Other' Spanish Theatres challenges established opinions on modern Iberian theatre in considering the roles of contrasting figures and companies who have impacted upon both the practice and the perception of Spanish, and European, stages. In examining the work of six carefully chosen case studies - Margarita Xirgu, Enrique Rambal, Maria Casares, Nuria Espert, Lluis Pasqual and La Cubana - Delgado offers a new interpretation of a nation's theatrical culture which has been viewed primarily through the prisms of a select number of revered playwrights. Offering a compelling case for the influence of Spanish practitioners on theatre in Europe and the Americas, the study focuses on the doing of performance, asking provocative questions around how performances are tested against the texts that remain.

Memory, Silence, and Democracy in Spain: Federico García Lorca, the Spanish Civil War, and the Law of Historical Memory

Abstract: What does it mean to unearth the dead? What is contemporary society’s responsibility to the disappeared ? How do we live with the ghosts of history? In the midst of the search for the body of Federico Garcia Lorca in 2009, Emilio Silva, cofounder and president of Spain’s Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory (ARMH)—a national organization assisting in the location and exhumation of the graves of Spain’s desaparecidos , or disappeared, during the Civil War and its aftermath—wrote of “the silent bones of Federico Garcia Lorca and the skeleton of our democracy.” This essay traces the ways in which the remains of one of Europe’s most resonant twentieth-century dramatists haunt contemporary Spain. In mapping the wider ideological framework in which his work has been produced in Spain, it engages with the politics of a statesanctioned “official” history that has shaped his appropriation by the nation-state. Using the search for Lorca’s corpse in 2009 as a central focus, it examines how the exhumation of mass graves undertaken in twenty-first-century Spain can be viewed as a move toward a more nuanced understanding both of the events of the past and the fissures of the present in a country where issues of justice have been compromised for too long by a culture of silence.

From research to practice

Abstract: Alcohol misuse poses a serious public health challenge in Wales. The Public Health Wales alcohol team is working across Wales to reduce alcohol related harm, both acute and chronic, in the Welsh population. In order to achieve this aim, Pubic Health Wales has trained over 3000 people to deliver alcohol brief interventions. The team has diversified its target audience to encompass anyone who has regular contact with people who may have an alcohol problem. The ethos of the programme is that the reduction in the harm caused by alcohol is everybody's problem, not just primary care. Trusting the evidence base of an NNT of 1 in 8, over 200 drinkers per month are shifting their behavior from hazardous and harmful drinking back towards being sensible drinkers. It has emerged that certain professionals (midwives, health visitors, youth workers, custody officers) are well placed to deliver brief interventions and that a 'blanket' approach to training results in more brief interventions being delivered than ad hoc training.
