Abstract:

Abstract In the paper, we propose a new focus in qualitative organization studies, which we call organizational anecdotal evidence. The novelty of our method is in linking storytelling, studies of organizational anecdotes, and humor studies. We claim that organizational anecdotes, jokes, and short fictional stories should become a core object of organizational culture analysis, rather than be refuted as unimportant. This is so because the study of organizational anecdotes and fictional stories shared by the social actors is more meaningful and gives more insight into their culture than establi

Abstract:

The article highlights the specifics of the anecdotes that were published on the pages of the newspaper “Ukraina Moloda” ("Ukraine Young") during 2018-2019. The process of origin and development of anecdote in Ukrainian literature and journalism is based on the factual material, theoretical developments in the field of genre. The article briefly reveals the genesis of anecdote in Ukraine from ancient times to the present days. Attention is drawn to the fact that the ridiculous side of ordinary everyday circumstances in the anecdote genre is so sharpened that they stand on

Abstract:

Abstract Scholars have recently advocated for the inclusion of anecdotes in historical research, which they say can add a type of “truth,” even if that truth is factually unverifiable, to their subjects. This article argues that anecdotes need to be read in light of hard evidence, and that scholars need to remain aware of how anecdotes contain the potential to perpetuate non-inclusive cultural narratives. Many anecdotes relayed about Restoration and eighteenth-century English actresses violate factual circumstances and reinscribe antifeminist narratives in their careers and lives. Using Elizab

Abstract:

The tales of divine judgements on sinners which are found throughout John Foxe's famous martyrology, the Acts and monuments, and also collected in a concluding appendix to the work, have often been dismissed as the products of gossip, while Foxe's printing of them has been traditionally regarded as an idiosyncratic, but ultimately insignificant, aberration in his historical writing. After examining the sources for two of these stories of providential punishment, this article will argue that some of the anecdotes of divine retribution printed in Acts and monuments were sent to Foxe in pursuit o

Abstract:

Historiography has long been concerned with the problem of determining standards for evidence. For traditional Chinese historians, it was Confucius who provided the model for historical writing. As the attributed author of the Springs and Autumns, Confucius demonstrated qualities of narratival restraint, historical factuality, moral profundity, and a refusal to engage in idle speculation. Of course, his model was not an easy one to emulate, and later historical writings have drawn on both the factual records of the imperial court (which were not always factual or free of ideological interests)

Abstract:

The text that has been preserved among Plutarch's writings under the title βίοι τῶν δέκα ῥητόρων (Lives of the Ten Orators, henceforth LTO) is, on the one hand, an invaluable and often the best source about the canonical Attic orators: it is, for example, our only source for the verdict against Antiphon after the oligarchic revolution of 411 and for Lycurgus’ state copy of the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. On the other hand, it is a shambles, containing dubious anecdotes, obvious factual mistakes, and blatant contradictions.

Abstract:

In connection with the beginnings of the Andria, there have been anecdotes and scholarly theories ever since the time of Suetonius and his sources for the Life of Terence, and they intrigued Donatus in his commentary. Naturally, then, they have developed their own influence in the scholarly tradition. An anecdote recounted by Suetonius, who does not name his source, reports that when Terence delivered his play to the aediles of 166 BCE (who would be producing the comedy at the Megalensian Games), he was ordered (or invited, iussus) to read it first to Caecilius Statius (the current grand old m

Abstract:

To the Editor.— The publication of an article in the February 1992 issue of Pediatrics by Cartland and Yudkowski1 gravely concerns me, because it seems to reflect a conclusion unsubstantiated by factual information. I am referring specifically to the implication that the managed care system limits necessary access to pediatrics subspecialty and inpatient care. The authors present data that support a limitation of access within a managed care system, but their anecdotal stories fail to convince me that all these referrals were "necessary."

Abstract:

We know much and understand little about the Italian mafia. The amount of factual information surrounding it—whatever that ‘it’ may be—is disproportionately and dramatically greater than our theoretical understanding of this elusive entity. We do not know everything it might be interesting to know, of course, yet in the monumental quantity of scholarly and judicial sources devoted to the mafia, we can find far more information than scholars have been able to make good, cogent sense of. Facts and anecdotes are not only numerous, but of the most diverse and seemingly irreconcilable kinds, and th

John Aubrey constructed an intimate and nonthreatening biographical persona, which allowed him to collect sensitive material about people in a politically turbulent period. He preserved documents and facts, but also anecdotes and “sayings,” as records of the human voice and the reputations of biographical subjects. He developed an expectation that comprehensive and factual biographical reference works were necessary, and that biography could be an aspect of social or historical knowledge. He wrote the lives of women and of those who were not privileged, rejecting the exemplary tradition and wr

Abstract:

Chapter 3 is a reflection on the theory and methodology of literary biography, based on the author’s experience of writing a life of Edith Sitwell whose autobiographical accounts are often not factual. For many years, literary biographers have placed their trust in a method akin to logical positivism – with an emphasis on recording obscure facts judged according to a true/false binary. Since many of Sitwell’s anecdotes (and those of other authors) are tall tales, parables of identity, or personal myths, their real value as evidence has been misunderstood. Many biographies fail to develop narra

Abstract:

Abstract Contemporary American literature might be said to have begun in 1965, with the serial publication of Truman Capote’s (1924-84) In Cold Blood in the New Yorker. Capote’s was not the first American work to mingle factual reportage with novelistic style: for that, one would have to go back to 1952, to Lillian Ross’s (b. 1927) Picture, or even further, to the New York anecdotes and profiles written in the 1940s and 1950s by Joseph Mitchell (b. 1908; reissued in his collection Up in the Old Hotel, 1992).

Abstract:

Abstract Our ignorance of Aspasia’s life course is emblematic of our ignorance of the lives of all women in fifth-century Hellas. This only seems so shocking and our curiosity so keenly and urgently justified because Aspasia’s reputation has thrown her into high relief. In fact, however, we are even more ignorant of other women-nameless persons whose lives may have been quite similar to hers. To ask questions about Aspasia’s life is to ask questions about half of humanity. One may assume that her early life began typically, that is to say, inauspiciously, and that we must seek its broadest out

The results reveal the diversity of resources and tactics. In the verbal dimension, it presents the use of rhetorical tactics (e.g., statistical and factual evidence and stimulation of emotions), the popular vocabulary, cues to action/motivation

The adage “those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” is a powerful one for parents and teachers of deaf students. Myths that have grown from ignorance have dogged us in this field as far back as we can see, and faulty assumptions and overgeneralizations have been sustained through time. A study of history also reveals what at first might seem like a series of random events, but which actually manifest patterns that have influenced today’s educational policy (see Fischer & Lane, 1993; Van Cleve, 1993). These patterns are related to several themes critical to the emphases

Abstract:

The polar bear’s ability to survive in the harsh arctic night fascinates scientific and lay audiences alike, giving rise to anecdotal and semi-factual stories on the radiative properties of the bear’s fur which permeate the popular literature, television programs, and textbooks [1–5]. One of the most interesting radiative properties of polar bear fur is that it is invisible in the infrared region. Some theories have attempted to explain this by claiming that the outer temperature of the fur is the same as that of the environment. However, this explanation is unsatisfactory because surface radi
