I'm intellectually selfish and reasonably dilettantish in my intellectual pursuits.

His assiduous effort to get them out on an icy evening made Mr Trump's campaign look dilettantish.

He knew nothing of disciplinary boundaries, veering into philosophy, literature, anthropology; it could be fruitful or dilettantish.

The works are shown in a nimble, nonchronological suite of galleries, and some of its century-spanning juxtapositions are bracing; others feel reductive, even dilettantish.

A former electronics whiz kid, he has squandered his youth on dilettantish studies in physics and anthropology, followed by a series of botched get-rich-quick schemes.

Actually, the consequences of Tyrion's rather dilettantish dispersal of tensions via compromise makes for fairly good atmosphere of exactly the kind that has been heretofore missing from this season.

He's clever (Cambridge) and rich (family money), a dilettantish author who has published one book, an amateur cultural study of music, and is procrastinating on another, about mourning rituals.

Once he's charmed his way into Greenleaf's company, however, Ripley is reminded of the precariousness of his position, in contrast with his comrade's dilettantish ease, achieved without effort, simply underwritten by his father's fortune.

This plot has all the elements of a South Park-style paean to faux-neutral nihilism, but it plays out in such a slapdash way that The Golden Circle comes off as more dilettantish than cynical.

But it is precisely these kinds of political actions and social interventions that give art its teeth, that make it more than a visual escapade, a dilettantish indulgence, transportive emotional experience, or a means of wealth storage.

My fear is that such a system might look a bit like Buttigieg mania: an insidious game in which entire lives of experience, or even exactly matching credentials, get overshadowed by the dilettantish longing of the upper middle class.

What if "Ferris Bueller" took place in Pasadena and not Chicago, if its projection of youthful freedom and dilettantish attention span — youth is now, and now is free — were something you could see played out among a well-to-do Chinese family?

The barrage of big, serious voices—from Barack Obama with his "back of the queue" jibe to Mark Carney and most of those businesses to have taken a stance—has highlighted the Out campaign's dilettantish inability to answer basic questions about Britain's economic future outside the EU. When it moans that the deck is stacked against it and that devastating projections like those released by the Treasury on Monday are a stitch-up, that is in substitute for a credible, detailed counter-argument.

Tokarev also evaluated Guseva's dissertation for the Doktor Nauk and its defense by her. He rated her dissertation as dilettantish, but viewed her defense of it as brilliant.

Her Story: Narrative Art by Contemporary California Artists (catalogue), Oakland, CA: Oakland Museum, 1991. these shows were sometimes appreciated for their then-novel exploration of inner life and sexual politics, and other times misunderstood or dismissed as "suburban," dilettantish, even sexist by largely male reviewers.

Alexandru D. Xenopol stated: "The theory of this author that Dacians would have coagulated the first civilization of the humankind shows that we deal with a product of chauvinism, not with a product of science".Mircea Babeș, "Renașterea Daciei?", Observatorul Cultural, 9 September 2003. In other words, Pârvan and Xenopol have rejected his book "as a dilettantish and chauvinist fantasy".

Myers, The Prophets Army, pp. 51-52. Many of those coming from the Communist Party were often difficult for the centralized organization to manage, retrospectively regarded by Cannon as "dilettantish petty-bourgeois minded people who couldn't stand any kind of discipline" who "wanted, or rather thought they wanted to become Trotskyists."Cannon, The History of American Trotskyism, pg. 93. Cannon later recalled: > Many of the newcomers made a fetish of democracy.

His letters, especially those to the French historian Frédéric Masson are mainly reports of his historical endeavors, which were never ending. During the First World War, he finished a seven volume study of Relation Diplomatiques 1808–1812 as well as the second Russian edition of Alexander I in two volumes in 1915. He had an almost childlike energy about his research and new discoveries, and his enthusiasm knew no bounds. Because his education was not the most conventional, his first work in history was dilettantish.

In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson notes that "Baker and Reid's strings do a lot to shape the sound of Mitchell's quintet, which incorporates elements of Euro-classical chamber music but has strong African, Asian, and Middle Eastern influences as well." The Down Beat review by Peter Margasak says "With a composer open to exploring as many sounds and approaches as Mitchell, it’s important to have a group that keep things grounded, and despite the range of the pieces here, the music never feels dilettantish or erratic."Margasak, Peter. Renegades review.

Although her published original works were written in the Polish language, with time she also made several translations of Polish-language classics into Lithuanian. Among the most notable of these translations is Matka węży by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. The translation is said to have had an unprecedented impact on Lithuanian culture as a fundamental work of Lithuanian high art, and to have been much of a much higher quality than her own dilettantish Polish verses. In 1855, through her sister Tekla, she met Antanas Baranauskas, a young poet then working as a clerk at the nearby farm in Seda.

He also calls Mussorgsky the most gifted musically of the Five, though Tchaikovsky could not appreciate the forms Mussorgsky's originality took. Nonetheless, he badly underestimates Borodin's technique and gives Balakirev far less than his full due—all the more telling in light of Balakirev's help in conceiving and shaping Romeo and Juliet. Tchaikovsky wrote to Nadezhda von Meck that all of the kuchka were talented but also "infected to the core" with conceit and "a purely dilettantish confidence in their superiority."Tchaikovsky, Pyotr, Perepiska s N.F. von Meck [Correspondence with Nadzehda von Meck], 3 vols.

There he met Robert Graves, and they became close friends. United by their poetic vocation, they often read and discussed each other's work. Though this did not have much perceptible influence on Graves' poetry, his views on what may be called 'gritty realism' profoundly affected Sassoon's concept of what constituted poetry. He soon became horrified by the realities of war, and the tone of his writing changed completely: where his early poems exhibit a Romantic, dilettantish sweetness, his war poetry moves to an increasingly discordant music, intended to convey the ugly truths of the trenches to an audience hitherto lulled by patriotic propaganda.

She and the other women writers included in Die Horen demonstrated a new potential for both aesthetically and commercially successful writing by women, but the ultimate role of women in the Weimar circle, and the intellectual legacy of works like Agnes von Lilien, has been debated. Critic Peter McIsaac has observed that, though they included women writers in Die Horen, Schiller and Goethe wrote of expunging their "feminine" qualities, and continued to regard works by women as "dilettantish" and belonging to a lower form than their own work. The novel was republished in 1988, and has gotten much more widespread and sympathetic treatment since.

Višinskis sent three of his poems to Varpas even though the editors discouraged submissions of poetry as too many of the submitted poems were too amateurish and dilettantish; the poems were published in 1896 with an editor's note that while Vaičaitis' poetry was better than average, it was still weak. Perhaps insulted by such a reception, Vaičaitis sent his other poems to Vienybė lietuvninkų, a Lithuanian newspaper published in Plymouth, Pennsylvania. This newspaper published more than sixty of his poems under pen name Pranciškus Sekupasaka in 1897. In the summer of 1896, Vaičaitis met Julija Pranaitytė at the home of her brother-in-law Saliamonas Banaitis.

In Sounds, it was portrayed as "Slick and slobbery, just a bunch of bored (sounding) professionals really". In a retrospective review, Trouser Press said: "Except for the smoothly contrived hit "(Forever) Live and Die" and the catchy "We Love You," this dilettantish mess is less a set of songs than a meaningless collection of sounds." A more favourable Dave Connolly of AllMusic noted OMD's "mastery of melody and mood" and "interesting patterns", but felt that much of the album is "more style than substance". In a 2013 online poll, The Pacific Age was voted the 46th best album of 1986 based on the opinions of almost 53,000 respondents.

Helms was attacked by numerous Danish academics for allowing it to be published. A letter from the Danish zoologist R. H. Stamm to Helms read: May I offer my condolences as to the latest issue? It must have been rough on you – who must know birds well, and as a medical doctor must possess some general sense of natural history – to include in the journal the dilettantish mess which occupies most of the issue. His first paper published in the Danish ornithology journal was however discovered by American paleontologist R. W. Shufeldt, who was able to make sense of it thanks to help from his Norwegian wife.

Roatta suggested that the schedule of moving troops to Albania would have to be accelerated and called for two divisions to be sent against Thessaloniki as a diversion. Prasca pointed out the inadequacy of Albanian harbours for the rapid transfer of Italian divisions, the mountainous terrain, and the poor state of the Greek transport network, but remained confident that Athens could be captured after the fall of Epirus, with "five or six divisions". The meeting ended with an outline plan, summed up by Mussolini as "offensive in Epirus; observation and pressure on Salonika, and, in a second phase, march on Athens". The British historian Ian Kershaw called the meeting at the Palazzo Venezia on 15 October 1940 "one of the most superficial and dilettantish discussions of high-risk military strategy ever recorded".

Outside the Schauinsland region, history fell into oblivion until the Freiburg teacher and hobby historian Bernd Hainmüller came across it at the beginning of the 21st century while studying records of the Freiburg Hitler Youth. Since the depiction there was obviously politically constructed, he set about reconstructing the events from individual records and oral traditions, and presented his findings on April 17, 2016, in Hofsgrund, according to which the interpretation handed down as a tragic accident through no fault of his own is no longer tenable and instead Jack Eaton's unheard accusations of dilettantish preparation and irresponsible execution of the hike are confirmed. The astonishment that such an inadequately equipped group of schoolchildren had made it to the Schauinsland at all under the circumstances is still remembered in Hofsgrund. It is unclear what exactly happened on the "last mile", between the sound of the bells and the Dobelhof, as Hainmüller repeatedly mentioned.
