The experimental practice Alive Architecture investigates into a series of migration spaces through facilitating relational performances in and around the areas. Those temporary situations allow constructing interaction with inhabitants to understand their needs, to improve the liveability in the neighbourhood for ephemeral moments through shared authorship and to test the eventual potential of how those events may lead to long-term change by enabling local actors to take the project over. Recordings of the happenings allow extracting knowledge from the constructed situations – What was successful? What can be improved? How can the social capital of the project be raised? Through highlighting key moments in form of reflective and interpretative drawings the recordings are developed further towards video diaries. The films are the principal documents disseminated to address a larger public and are considered as a political statement on the public role of the designer in contemporary urban planning: The quick and simple performances in the rough territories of the powerless are self-initiated and opposed to the large-scale and expensive urban planning for societies of power that wipe out any sort of existing life in our cities of today. ispartof: Graduate Research Conference location:Sint-Lucas Architectuur, Gent date:22 Nov - 25 Nov 2012 status: published

In large-scale assessments two missing responses can be discerned: “not-reached” and “skipped” responses . Both omissions may be related to the test takers’s proficiency, resulting in non-ignorable missingness. An IRTtree-based model with separate latent processes for “not-reached” and “skipped” responses is proposed, and illustrated using empirical data. ispartof: National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) Annual Meeting location:Philadelphia (PA), USA date:2 Apr - 6 Apr 2014 status: published

This paper reviews evidence on food price volatility, soft commodity speculation and the public perception of these practices, at least from a Belgian perspective. Soft commodity speculation expanded greatly during the 2007-2008 food crisis and since then has become an asset class of its own in which many banks and investment institutions engage in. This is fueled by food price volatility, especially for the soft primary commodities wich teh food industry uses as ingredients: cereals, oilseeds, vegetable oil, sugar, coffee, cocao, etc ... Of course, speculation is not new and extends to all primary commodities, to stocks and bonds, currencies, and in fact all asset classes. What is special about soft commodity(comprising all agricultural products and raw materials for the food, fiber and bio-fuel industry)speculation is that it impacts our dialy food, and that there are nearly one billion people in the world that are chronically food insecure, i.e. don't have enough to eat every day for a normal and healthy life. The recent food crisis added more than 100 million people, according to FAO, to that group. The 50 poorest countries in the world ) basically all agriculturally based economies-are nearly all net importers of food, particularly cereals, and thus depend on the world market for their food supply. Many poor families spend over half their income on food. And this is why food price speculation raises many ethical questions and why soft commodities - the basis of food - are a special asset class. ispartof: LICOS Seminar location:Leuven date:23 Mar - 23 Mar 2011 status: published

Modal updating of futurity in vector models for discourse Context – Nanotechnological innovation is a key element in the EU 7th Framework Programme. It goes together with a social concern about how the European audience has to be convinced of the its benign impact and assets. Our research is to be situated at the social and cognitive crossroads of a language for specific purposes (LSP) and its translation into general purpose idioms (LGP). In this process, the viewpoints of scientific-industrial actors and the layman merge. Furthermore, adaptation in smaller languages (like Italian) follow big EU actors like the UK and Germany. Four objectives – (1) The dynamic updating in different heterogeneous conceptualizations of nanotech is analyzed as an imminent and potential future in German and Italian. We previously proposed an analytic framework for the temporal positioning of Italian futurity. (2) In the present paper we show how shifts between positions in this futurity model occur not exclusively only along temporal, but also through spatial and modal discourse vectors. (3) These vectors are set up by heterogeneous enunciative stances. (4) Consequently, we describe different constructional patterns structurally German and Italian exploit to realize positions, shifts and stances mentioned before. Three theoretical cognitive frameworks - (1) Cognitive grammar (CG) is a key reference in two respects. On the one hand, CG provides the general conceptual template for futurity as part of an elaborated epistemic model (Langacker 1991: 244). Langacker’s time-line model of represented time overlaps with a second, discursive time-line: the current discourse space (CDS, Langacker 2001) of a conceptualizer which is representing time as discourse unfolds. (2) The discursive vector model is based on Chilton (2005a). (3) We take further Verhagen’s (2005) idea: linguistic structures do not only profile the object of conceptualization but also potential (inter)subjective viewpoints of conceptualizing agents. Methodology and corpus – Our corpus-based approach (Gries & Stefanowitsch 2006) combines cognitive approaches with authentic language data in a complex institutional setting where specialists communicate with the general audience. The concrete case is a popularizing publication ordered by Cordis (European Commission) and developed by the German Science and Training department (BMBF), with an Italian translation by Veneto Nanotech. This case shows the complex nexus between conceptualization on the one hand and political, social/societal and technical-industrial aspects of nanotechnology on the other. Descriptive results and critical impact – Our analysis will provide a cognitive template and contrastive evidence for futurity, both on the level of nominal and (de)verbal predication in Italian and German. This typological approach will show the dynamics of meaning construction in which the potential and future aspects of a concept become an intrinsic part of the actual definition of what nanotech already is. This cognitive work then within the societal issue contributes to a better critical understanding (Chilton 2005b) of how the specific communication and public debate on nanotechnology as a possible world (Martins 2005) is brought to the actual language use of different linguistic EU communities of citizens and consumers (EU COM 2004).

No single political institution controls space. Neither in recent democracies nor in one-party regimes, or in post-conflict societies, do governments actually wield the control they aspire to exercise. Therefore, people protect their claims by whatever means available in order to solidify access and secure exclusion of others. Actors address different institutions to have claims validated, and they will fashion their claims to land according to the nature of the institution. Conversely, however, political institutions will attempt to validate certain claims as rights and thus attempt to establish political authority – and sovereignty. The production of property rights in varied forms and the intertwined production of political subjects results in the inclusion and exclusion of people. The conference invited papers that analyse the assemblages of governing powers and investigate the institutional dynamics of recognition and exclusion and what institutions become the results of these processes. In particular it presented papers that dealt with connections between access to land and resources, and political identity and subjectivity. In this lies a profound question about state formation. The papers engaged with these questions in rural, peri-urban and urban settings alike. ispartof: Property and citizenship in Developing Societies location:University of Copenhagen, Denmark date:28 May - 31 May 2013 status: published
