Full textAbstract:
Abstract This essay analyzes the gradual commercialization of the book market in the antebellum period. It shows that the reality of book publishing in the 1830s and 1840s has little to do with traditional accounts of the antebellum period developed in the wake of or in opposition to F. O. Matthiessen’s American Renaissance. The essay focuses in particular on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s ascent into the literary establishment of the 1840s—based mainly on the promotion of his Twice-Told Tales—and on the attempts to advertise Beecher-Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin across socially and politically diverse readerships in the South and the North.

Background: To study whether medical textbooks are sponsored by drug or device companies, and if so, whether they have tried to influence their contents. Methods: Cross-sectional study of the medical textbooks written in Danish for graduate clinical courses at the University of Copenhagen and anonymous web-based survey of editors. For sponsored books, we also contacted the authors. Results: Eleven of 71 medical textbooks (15%) were sponsored. We contacted 11 editors, and for 8 books that had authors that were not editors, we also contacted one author. Ten editors and 5 authors replied. One editor was contacted 5 times by the various sponsors concerning the content of specific chapters and in another case the sponsor had the content of a chapter changed regarding its own drug. Two of the authors noted that they did not know that the book was sponsored. Conclusions: Sponsorship of medical textbooks was not uncommon and may lead to lack of academic freedom. Medical students may be particularly vulnerable to commercial influences, as they have had little or no training in commercial biases and generally believe what they read in textbooks.

Full textAbstract:
Ability, equity, and culture: Sustaining inclusive urban education reform, edited by Kozleski and Thorius (2014), is a remarkable compilation of work, written by a diverse ensemble of educators, researchers, practitioners, and advocates. A thought-provoking book that looks critically at urban education reform, the authors challenge readers to have a broader understanding of what the term inclusivity entails. The editors present the work of 17 authors who were all part of the National Institute for Urban School Improvement (NIUSI). These authors shed light on various aspects of systemic urban reform in policy, pedagogy, and practice. Issues discussed ranged from the micro to the macro change initiatives to classroom environments and district culture, as well as successful models of student-centered programs around the country. Using data from 12 years of research conducted under the sponsorship of NIUSI, the contributors paint a hopeful, if daunting, a portrait of what equitable, inclusive, and culturally responsive education should and could look like. Ultimately, the contributors of this book believe that sustainable, scalable, successful systemic educational reform is attainable, provided that all stakeholders are committed to cultural responsivity and inclusivity for all students. In order to achieve this goal, the authors posit that reform needs to combat discrimination based on socially constructed notions of difference, such as gender, race, ethnicity, ability, class, and sexual orientation.

Full textAbstract:
This book is the result of a five-year research project that had as its goal the reform of the committee system in the Israeli Knesset. It had the full support of the leadership and members of that legislative body, and was conducted under the sponsorship of an important Israeli think tank, the Israel Democracy Institute. In undertaking this investigation, Reuvan Y. Hazan quickly discovered an additional reason for devoting so much time to this subject—the challenge of addressing “a flagrant deficiency in the political science literature” (p. 2), the dearth of comparative literature on parliamentary reform of committees.

„Wer schreibt, der bleibt“, sagt ein Sprichwort. Aber stimmt das auch? Archive und Bibliotheken schlagen Alarm. Sie sind das Gedächtnis einer Stadt, eines Landes, der Menschheit. Aber das Gedächtnis ist löchrig. Massenhaft verfallen Papiere. Die Spuren der Zeit verschonen auch Kostbarkeiten nicht. Buchpaten können helfen, Wichtiges zu retten.“ Mit diesen Sätzen eröffnete die Sächsische Zeitung am 15. Dezember 2007 eine Doppelseite in ihrer Wochenend-Beilage. Rechtzeitig vor Weihnachten sollten Buchpatienten der Sächsischen Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) Buchpaten finden. Um es vorwegzunehmen: Die Aktion war sehr erfolgreich, vier der neun in diesem Beitrag vorgestellten Handschriften und Bücher haben inzwischen einen „Schutzengel“ gefunden. Zwei weitere Patenschaftsobjekte konnten ebenfalls wegen dieser Veröffentlichung an interessierte Buchpaten vermittelt werden.

Full textAbstract:
Actualmente observa-se a crescente utilização dos patrocínios de eventos como ferramenta de comunicação de empresas. Numa comunicação integrada de marketing, os patrocínios surgem como uma ferramenta estratégica capaz de ajudar a alcançar as metas e objectivos planeados, coordenada com outras ferramentas para a criação de uma estratégia de comunicação eficaz e completa.
A influência dos patrocínios tem sido uma questão fundamental a avaliar por parte dos patrocinadores e organizações, e os efeitos no consumidor são, na maioria dos casos, muito difíceis de aferir, devido à complexidade e multiplicidade das variáveis que o constituem.
Foi elaborada uma pesquisa, através do estudo do patrocínio Super Bock nos festivais de música, sobre a influência dos patrocínios de eventos na intenção de compra, adaptando o modelo de Jae, Y. et al. (2008). Tal modelo tem por base a construção e correlação de relações entre variáveis-chave da eficácia do patrocínio - envolvimento; percepção; imagem; e intenção de compra.
Os resultados obtidos nos testes estatísticos indicaram a variável-chave imagem como a principal influência, indicando que, quanto melhor a imagem que detém da marca Super Bock, enquanto patrocinador, maior a intenção de compra de cerveja da marca. Porém, através do caso de estudo, conseguimos aperceber-nos da complexidade do processo de eficácia dos patrocínios de eventos, e da necessidade de complementaridade entre todas as variáveis-chave para se comunicar eficazmente com o público-alvo e promover o desejo de consumo.Today we observe the increasing use of event sponsorships as a company communication tool. In an integrated marketing communication network, sponsorships emerge as a strategic tool that can help achieve the goals and objectives planned, combining with other tools for the creation of an effective and complete communication strategy. The evaluation of the influence of sponsorship has been a key issue for sponsors and organizations, as its effects on consumers are, in most cases, very difficult to assess because of the complexity and multiplicity of variables that constitute it. An investigation was developed through the study of Super Bock sponsorship in music festivals, which studied the influence of event sponsorships on purchase intention. It adapted the model of Jae, Y. et al. (2008) which is based on the construction of relationships and correlations between key variables of sponsorship effectiveness- involvement, perception, image and purchase intention. The results of the statistical tests indicated the key variable was image. More specifically, the better the image that Super Bock had as a sponsor, the greater the intent to purchase its beer. However, through the case study, we realized the complexity of the effectiveness of event sponsorships, and the need for balance between all key variables to communicate effectively with the target audience and promote consumer desire.

Mestrado em MarketingO Marketing é cada vez mais importante nas empresas, no seu orçamento e nos seus activos. O valor da Marca é muito importante para as empresas e através dos Patrocínios pode existir uma alavancagem da Marca. Esta investigação investiga a forma como os patrocínios contribuem para as percepções que são criadas pelo consumidor em relação à Marca. Analisou-se a transferência de imagem entre os clubes de futebol e a marca Super Bock, bem como a percepção da congruência e as associações que são feitas à marca. A metodologia utilizada nesta investigação foi uma metodologia quantitativa, com o recurso a uma amostra não probabilística, em que se recolheu um total de 150 questionários entre os dias 15 Julho e 4 de Agosto, através da Internet. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que existe transferência de imagem e, em geral, os patrocínios têm um efeito positivo na imagem da marca. Apesar de se terem verificado em alguns grupos a ligação entre a marca e o clube patrocinado, esta é percepcionada como muito positiva existindo um trabalho a fazer nestes grupos.

This investigation focuses on how the sponsorships contribute to perceptions that are created by you in relation to the mark. Also explore the image transfer between football clubs and the brand Super Bock, the perception of congruence and associations that are made to the brand. The methodology used for the study was a quantitative methodology with the use of a non-probability technique, which collected a total of 150 questionnaires from 15 July to 4 August through the Internet. The results show that there are image transfer between the team and the sponsor. In general sponsorship has been a positive effect on brand image. Although in some groups this relationship between the team and the sponsor isn't seen as positive thing, and here there are work to be done.

Gonçalves, João Paulo Mendes. "Avaliação da perceção da marca enquanto patrocinador no desporto : o estudo de caso da Super Bock." Master's thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/13183.
Full textAbstract:
A dissertação Avaliação da Perceção da Marca Enquanto Patrocinador do Desporto remete-se concretamente ao estudo de caso da marca de cerveja Super Bock. O patrocínio é, segundo Keller (2003), um contributo para a sensibilização ao produto que se procura promover, sendo este associado a outras organizações com vista ao reconhecimento da marca. A resposta à imagem do patrocínio é maior se houver um ajuste relevante entre patrocinador e organização patrocinada, decorrente de ligação pessoal, categoria e atitude para com o patrocinador (Speed & Thompson, 2000).
A Super Bock procura promoção associando-se a duas organizações desportivas de grande dimensão: Futebol Clube do Porto e Sporting Clube de Portugal. O objetivo prende-se com a avaliação do posicionamento e perceção da marca associada por via do patrocínio com as organizações desportivas enunciadas, advindos da organização em causa e dos adeptos dos clubes mencionados.
A metodologia utilizada foi o estudo de caso (Yin, 2011). De forma a aferir e avaliar a perceção da marca, foram aplicados um inquérito por via de questionário (Speed & Thompson, 2000) a adeptos dos clubes visados e uma entrevista à organização em estudo. O inquérito por questionário esteve disponível online durante um mês, compondo uma amostra de cem indivíduos (n=100). O tratamento de dados estatísticos foi interpretado e trabalhado no programa IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, versão 24.
No que respeita às principais ilações resultantes do estudo conclui-se que o gosto pessoal pela organização desportiva é um fator de associação positivo à resposta ao patrocínio, bem como, a sinceridade do patrocinador e a perceção da categoria do evento envolvente. Neste caso específico verifica-se que os adeptos ganham sentimento à marca por via do patrocínio com a organização desportiva. Todavia, em relação às vendas do patrocinador não existe uma ligação com a associação, refutando a tese de Speed e Thompson (2000). Em suma, a associação por via de patrocínio da Super Bock com os clubes visados é em grande parte eficaz.Brand Perception Evaluation as Sports Sponsor is about the portuguese beer brand Super Bock case study. According to Keller (2003) sponsorship is a way to show the product that is promoted, associated to other organizations in order to get brand awareness. Sponsorship image response is bigger if there is a relevant link between sponsor and sponsored organization, measured by personal linking, category and attitude towards sponsor (Speed & Thompson, 2000). Super Bock is seeking promotion through association with two big portuguese football clubs: Futebol Clube do Porto e Sporting Clube de Portugal. The objective of this current study is an analysis and evaluation of the brand positioning and perception outputed from the association with the referred clubs, made from inside the sponsor organization and by club’s fans enquiries. Case study is the metodology used (Yin, 2011). To evaluate brand perception, a survey was done (Speed & Thompson, 2000) to the fans of the sponsored clubs and an interview with the marketing brand department personnel. The questionnaire was available during one month on the internet and the sample is composed by an hundred individuals (n=100). The data collection was processed by the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences program (version 24). Personal linking to sports organization is an associated positive response to sponsorship, as well as sincerity of the sponsor and the perception of the event sponsored. These are the principal conslusions of this study. In this specific case fans get engaged with the brand because of the sponsorship. However, there are no evidence of a link between the sponsorship association and sponsor’s sales, which refuses Speed and Thompson (2000) thesis. Finally, the Super Bock sponsorship association with these clubs are mostly effective.

Full textAbstract:
Child sponsorship emerged from nineteenth-century Protestant missions to become one of today's most profitable private fundraising tools in organizations including World Vision, Compassion International, and ChildFund. Investigating two centuries of sponsorship and its related practices in American living rooms, churches, and shopping malls, this book reveals the myriad ways that Christians who don't travel outside of the United States cultivate global sensibilities. The book traces the movement of money, letters, and images, along with a wide array of sponsorship's lesser-known embodied and aesthetic techniques, such as playacting, hymn singing, eating, and fasting. It shows how, through this process, U.S. Christians attempt to hone globalism of a particular sort by oscillating between the sensory experiences of a God's eye view and the intimacy of human relatedness. These global aspirations are buoyed by grand hopes and subject to intractable limitations, since they so often rely on the inequities they claim to redress. Based on extensive interviews, archival research, and fieldwork, the book explores how U.S. Christians imagine and experience the world without ever leaving home.

Full textAbstract:
Based on long-term ethnographic research in the art world of Istanbul and Berlin, The National Frame rethinks the role of art in state governance. It argues that artistic practices, arts patronage and sponsorship, collecting and curating art, and the modalities of censorship, just like official cultural policies, continue to be refracted through the conceptual lens of the nation-state—despite the intensified and much-studied globalization of art. By examining discussions on the civilizing function of art in Germany and Turkey and moments in which art is seen to cede this function, the book reveals the histories of violence on which the production, circulation, and presentation—indeed our very understanding—of art are predicated. It is in the process of disavowing this violence that contemporary art as a global practice keeps being called back into the national frame. Turkey and Germany occupy different places in dominant geopolitical and civilizational imaginaries that have construed the world in terms of “East” and “West,” and, more recently, “Islam” and “Christianity” as incommensurable entities. Unlike German art, art from Turkey is often seen as merging “traditional” and modern motifs, and expressive of “Turkish culture.” Working against this asymmetric perception the book fosters a comparative perspective by showing that Germany and Turkey share a long, troubling history of cultural encounters and political affiliation and similar struggles in claiming modern nationhood. The joint analysis of both cases reveals how art is configured politically and socially and why art has been at once vital and unwieldy for national projects.

Full textAbstract:
Debates about the value of the ‘literary’ rarely register the expressive acts of state subsidy, sponsorship, and cultural policy that have shaped post-war Britain. In State Sponsored Literature, Asha Rogers argues that the modern state was a major material condition of literature, even as its efforts were relative, partial, and prone to disruption. Drawing from neglected and occasionally unexpected archives, she shows how the state became an integral and conflicted custodian of literary freedom in the postcolonial world as beliefs about literature’s ‘public’ were radically challenged by the unrivalled migration to Britain at the end of Empire. State Sponsored Literature retells the story of literature’s place in modern Britain through original analysis of the institutional forces behind canon-formation and contestation, from the literature programmes of the British Council and Arts Council to the UK’s fraught relations with UNESCO, from GCSE literature anthologies to the origins of The Satanic Verses in migrant Camden. The state did not shape literary production in a vacuum, Rogers argues, rather its policies, practices, and priorities were inexorably shaped in turn. Demonstrating how archival work can potentially transform our understanding of literature and its reading publics, this book challenges how we think about literature’s value by asking what state involvement has meant for writers, readers, institutions, and the ideal of autonomy itself.

To this end, following a brief introduction including a description of the international situation in the sports sponsorship market, as well as the necessary concepts, types of sponsorships, and developments, the structure of the book chapter focuses on the key elements of the content of a sponsorship management plan for small-scale sporting events. Also important is the contribution of this chapter by presenting, at the end, three small-scale sport events in clarifying how sponsors of a sporting event can be attracted and how the sponsorship exchange system can be more effective.

Full textAbstract:
This introductory chapter provides an overview of “Christian globalism.” The term is shorthand for a cluster of ideas, cultural forms, structures of feeling, and social connections that at a very basic level emerge from the understanding that the Christian God encompasses all human beings as their creator and eventual judge. All forms of globalism, Christian or otherwise, take shape within specific societal frameworks and institutional structures. With that in mind, this book focuses on one site in particular: child sponsorship programs in the United States. This fundraising model, which began in Protestant missions two centuries ago and then spread to NGOs, is familiar in North America and Europe. It requests a defined yearly or monthly amount to aid a foreign child, with some promise of communication between donors and recipients. Sponsorship is a good vantage point from which to address the “immobile global” since less than one per cent of U.S. sponsors actually meet the child they support.

The introduction details the ways in which Appalachia has come to represent heart of “Trump Country.” It argues that these representations trade on a long history of stereotypes and assumptions about the region. In particular, the introduction describes how Appalachia is represented as illiterate, unschooled, and textless, a representation that dates from the 1880s and served the needs of both the extract industries and northern missionaries bent on “improving” the region. The introduction outlines the key theoretical frames for the remainder of the book, including Deborah Brandt’s theory of literacy sponsorship and Benedict Anderson’s notion of imagined communities.

The conclusion considers the continued, widespread proliferation of the staid East-meets-West trope through a critique of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2015 exhibition, “China: Through the Looking Glass.” Ruminating on the afterlives of East-meets-West exoticizations, the conclusion synthesizes the preceding ones by analyzing the exhibition’s loaded cross-cultural hybrids of art-fashion-celebrity culture and Sino-US corporate sponsorship. The chapter argues that “China: Through the Looking Glass” might have countered the critique that the exhibition did not adequately present contemporary Chinese culture by including some of the art and design projects presented throughout the book, summarizing the vital issues these projects raise.

Full textAbstract:
This introductory chapter outlines the core argument of the book: that as Russia ramped up its hybrid war on the West starting around 2007, politics in Western countries has become more similar to politics in the vulnerable “lands in between.” Russia’s hybrid war on the West has contributed to political polarization by promoting extremist parties and creating a sense that every election presents voters with a “civilizational choice” between Russia and the West or authoritarianism and democracy. Paradoxically, many of the leaders that rise to the top in these conditions are those who find ways to profit from both sides. They benefit from the sponsorship of pro-Russia and pro-Western interests to enrich themselves in the process. The plan of this book is simple. It starts with exploring the nature of Russia’s hybrid war on the West and the West’s delayed response. Then it shows how this conflict shapes the politics of the lands in between, Central and Eastern European member states of the European Union, and core Western countries.

Full textAbstract:
The National Strategy for Financial Education, created in 2010 through Federal Decree 7,397/2010 and renewed by Federal Decree 10,393, was developed as a multi-sector mobilization initiative with the goal of promoting financial education actions in Brazil. As a multi-sector strategy, a governance committee was created, including the participation of both public and private sector representatives. The participation of the private sector in the development of the ENEF occurs through an array of actions, such as the construction of proprietary education projects and participation at the National Financial Education Week, as well as support for education projects organized by civil society organizations. However, it also arose through a more direct need, along two main lines. The first initiated in 2012 with the constitution of AEF-Brasil (Association of Financial Education in Brazil, a Civil Society Organization of Public Interest – or OSCIP in the Portuguese acronym used – created to develop and scale projects involving financial education and developed according to the premises of the ENEF, namely: free access to beneficiaries and no form of product or service recommendation. The second was direct sponsorship of projects developed by AEF-Brasil. From 2012 to 2020, a series of strategies and projects were implemented by AEF-Brasil, each in partnership with and funded by major companies, international entities and investor funds. The projects are detailed in Chapter 2 of this book, highlighting the diversity of publics and the initiatives developed by AEF-Brasil.

The National Strategy for Financial Education, created in 2010 through Federal Decree 7,397/2010 and renewed by Federal Decree 10,393, was developed as a multi-sector mobilization initiative with the goal of promoting financial education actions in Brazil. As a multi-sector strategy, a governance committee was created, including the participation of both public and private sector representatives. The participation of the private sector in the development of the ENEF occurs through an array of actions, such as the construction of proprietary education projects and participation at the National Financial Education Week, as well as support for education projects organized by civil society organizations. However, it also arose through a more direct need, along two main lines. The first initiated in 2012 with the constitution of AEF-Brasil (Association of Financial Education in Brazil, a Civil Society Organization of Public Interest – or OSCIP in the Portuguese acronym used – created to develop and scale projects involving financial education and developed according to the premises of the ENEF, namely: free access to beneficiaries and no form of product or service recommendation. The second was direct sponsorship of projects developed by AEF-Brasil. From 2012 to 2020, a series of strategies and projects were implemented by AEF-Brasil, each in partnership with and funded by major companies, international entities and investor funds. The projects are detailed in Chapter 2 of this book, highlighting the diversity of publics and the initiatives developed by AEF-Brasil.

Full textAbstract:
In 1991, some colleagues and I started the campaign to save Bletchley Park from demolition by property developers. At this time I was working at the Science Museum in London restoring some early British computers. I believed it would be possible to rebuild Colossus, but nobody else believed me. In 1993, I gathered together all the information available. This amounted to no more than eight 1945 wartime photographs of Colossus (some of which are printed in this book), plus brief descriptions by Flowers, Coombs, and Chandler, and—crucially—circuit diagrams which some engineers had kept, quite illegally, as engineers always do! I spent nine months poring over the wartime photographs, using a sophisticated modern CAD system on my PC to recreate machine drawings of the racks. I found that, fortunately, sufficient wartime valves were still available, as were various pieces of Post Office equipment used in the original construction. In July 1994, His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent opened the Bletchley Park Museum and inaugurated the Colossus rebuild project. At that time I had not managed to obtain any sponsorship for the project, so my wife Margaret and I decided to put our own money into it, to get it started. We both felt that if the effort was not made immediately there would be nobody still alive to help us with memories of Colossus. Over the next few years various private sponsors came to our aid and some current and retired Post Office and radio engineers formed the team that helped me in the rebuild. In 1995, the American National Security Agency was forced by application of the Freedom of Information Act to release about 5000 Second World War documents into the US National Archive. A list of these documents was put onto the Internet. When I read it I was amazed to see titles like ‘The Cryptographic Attack on FISH’. I obtained copies of these documents and found that they were invaluable reports written by American servicemen seconded to Bletchley Park when America entered the war. I was also fortunate enough to be given access to the then still classified General Report on Tunny (parts of which are published for the first time in this book).

Full textAbstract:
The grand tour took the young and wealthy to Rome and Naples, but not as far as Greece, which had sunk into oblivion under its Byzantine emperors, who began to rule in A.D. 527. For seven hundred years Greece remained masked in obscurity as Crusaders, Venetians, and then Turks established princedoms and trading posts there. The Turks entered Athens in 1455 and turned the Parthenon and Acropolis into a fortress, transforming Greece into a rundown province of the Ottoman Empire. Worse yet, the ravages of wind, rain, and earthquake, of villagers seeking building stone and mortar, buried and eroded the ancient Greek temples and sculptures. Only a handful of intrepid artists and antiquarians came from Europe to sketch and collect before 1800, for Greek art and architecture were still little known or admired in the West, overshadowed as they were by the fashion for things Roman that dominated eighteenth-century taste. A small group of English connoisseurs financed the artists James Stuart and Nicholas Revett on a mission to record Greek art and architecture in 1755, and the first book in their multivolume Antiquities of Athens appeared in 1762. This, and other works, stimulated antiquarian interest, but in spite of such publications, few travelers ventured far off the familiar Italian track. The Parthenon was, of course, well known, but places like the oracle at Delphi, the temple of Poseidon at Sounion—at the time a pirates’ nest— and Olympia were little visited. In 1766, however, Richard Chandler, an Oxford academic, did visit Olympia, under the sponsorship of the Society of Dilettanti. The journey took him through overgrown fields of cotton shrubs, thistles, and licorice. Chandler had high expectations, but found himself in an insect-infested field of ruins: Early in the morning we crossed a shallow brook, and commenced our survey of the spot before us with a degree of expectation from which our disappointment on finding it almost naked received a considerable addition. The ruin, which we had seen in evening, we found to be the walls of the cell of a very large temple, standing many feet high and well-built, its stones all injured . . .
