Upchurch and @elebelfiore quote online comment where subsidising the arts is compared to subsidising fish and chips (really) #4hum- Upchurch and @elebelfiore: "socio-economic impact = an external form of validation and legitimacy" #4hum
- Upchurch and @elebelfiore: Q: "How should humanists approach the value question?" #4Hum
@Ajprescott fish and chips deserve subsidy?-wow!! Love fish 'n chips - food is important but people need culture, too. A good balance! #4Hum- @dhgermany Indeed, the comment was that fish and chips were more valuable than Damien Hirst or Tracy Emin: not balanced! #4Hum
- Upchurch and @elebelfiore should humanists approach the value issue by challenging the dominant market discourse? #4hum
