Abstract:

Bruno Trentin. Lavoro, libertà, conoscenza takes into consideration the figure of Bruno Trentin (1926-2007) and his work as a union leader and politician, his numerous writings in the framework of the history of Republican Italy and the transformations induced by the processes of globalisation. From this reflection, conducted from different disciplinary angles and with different political and cultural sensitivity, what emerges clearly is the extremely idiosyncratic significance of Bruno Trentin in both the practice and the theoretical analysis of the labour struggle and the exploration of its

Abstract:

Cosa hanno in comune gli studi raccolti in questo volume, su autori così disparati come Conte, Palazzeschi, Zanzotto, Caproni, Rosselli, Biagini, alcuni poeti crepuscolari, Leopardi, Annovi, Giuliani, e perfino certe traduzioni novecentesche di R.M. Rilke? La convinzione che la parola poetica – etimologicamente ‘creatrice’ – generi prospettive cognitive che alterano la nostra percezione del mondo. La lettura della poesia non ha un effetto confinato alla pagina e al momento, ma incide sul nostro rapporto con la realtà, lo cambia e lo arricchisce in maniera spesso insospettabile e sorprendente.

Abstract:

Based on the general argument that culture plays a key role in linking creativity to innovation, this chapter provides a cultural explanation toward the innovation paradox in Hong Kong—high in creativity but low in innovation. Specifically, we explore how time orientation, as a less explored cultural dimension, could affect Hong Kong’s social norms and collective behaviors in translating creative potentials into viable innovations for business. Through an in-depth indigenous study on its entrepreneurial activities and ecosystem, we explicate the consequences of time orientation on the situatio

This chapter provides an extensive review of the existing empirical literature that analyses the impact of (mostly high-skilled) migration on the innovative performances of firms, regions, and countries.

By categorizing the existing studies on the basis of the definition of innovation and migration that they adopt, as well as on the specific level of analysis chosen (at the firm, regional,

It then considers the research questions posed, such as why some states act as pioneers by adopting new programs more readily than others, and whether there are more or less stable patterns of diffusion of innovations.

Abstract:

Little attention has been devoted to the impact of corporate governance practices on firms’ innovative performance. This chapter reviews the literature to show that there is theoretical ambiguity. There is the argument that corporate governance and new forms of finance realign managers’ interests, with greater efficiency for all types of investments. However, some argue that innovative R&D has distinctive characteristics, like high risk and long-term horizon, that may modify the efficiency effect. The issue has generated many studies where the long tradition of positive relationships betwe

Much creative work takes place in groups or teams, but also individual creative efforts cannot be seen as separate from a social context. In recent decades, the questions “What makes groups and teams creative?” and “How is creativity shaped by the social context?” have therefore received increasing research attention. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this work and is organized into five sections. After an introductory section, a second section (individuals and groups) discusses issues of group composition, diversity, newcomers, and conflict. The third section, on basic processes

This article examines Amitav Ghosh’s climate change novel The Hungry Tide, which has become something of a canonical text for environmental critics. It explains that this novel shows the literary processes of mediation and argues that, instead of viewing mediation as a substitution of the sign for the real, we follow Latour suggestion that the mediated circulation of things is what makes them real. It also argues that by tracing mediation in literary texts, ecocriticism can begin to describe their innovations in the world of things.

Moving to an analytical method, glamour is shown to blend four distinct aesthetic parameters: sensuousness, restraint, elevation, and sophistication. Although these paramet

Its most common topics are the construction of whiteness by the country music industry and the segregation of southern music in the 1920s into “race” and “hillbilly” mar

This achievement depended on a poetic adaptation of techniques of legal or forensic rhetoric, which privileged the making known, through circumstances, of human motive, or causa. The chap

Abstract:

This book addresses major modern controversies in corporate governance, clarifying the issues at stake and assessing the arguments for corporate reform. The main focus is on governance of the large organizations that employ the majority of workforces in developed economies and which account for most of the finance and refinance of the private sector. Shareholder value and shareholder primacy are now under increasing scrutiny having previously been positioned as natural precepts of governance. The book joins that debate with a critique and also with suggestions for company reform that allow for

Abstract:

This book shows how the work of a major post-war American poet has been centrally concerned with questions of national identity and intercultural poetic exchange, by reading crucial episodes in John Ashbery’s oeuvre in the context of an ‘other tradition’ of twentieth-century English poets he himself has defined. This line runs from the editor of Ashbery’s recent Collected Poems, Mark Ford, through Lee Harwood in the late 1960s, F. T. Prince in the 1950s, to ‘chronologically the first and therefore most important influence’ on his own work, W. H. Auden. Through detailed close readings of the po

Abstract:

The ‘problem of evil’—whether conceived broadly as the challenge of reconciling evil and imperfection with a commitment to ultimate justice, goodness, or harmony in the universe, or more narrowly in (say) theistic terms as the problem of reconciling the existence of an absolutely perfect being with the existence of sin and suffering—has a long and venerable history, exercising some of the finest minds from ancient to modern times. However, as will be discussed below, in recent philosophy of religion the debate seems to have reached a stalemate, where opposing camps rehearse tired and familiar

Abstract:

This chapter takes a closer look at Binh’s literary output with an emphasis on the lengthy collections of tales he wrote between 1815 and 1830. It uses these volumes to understand new Catholic genealogies and temporalities, to illustrate the shifting worldview and understandings of time being experienced by Vietnamese Catholics. The chapter describes how Binh organized his books using indexes and tables of contents, and the significance of Binh’s use of the Romanized alphabet throughout his writings, suggesting that his literary output marked an important moment in the history of this Vietname
