O Corpo e o Gesto na Tapeçaria de Bayeux (séc. XI)

Como responsáveis pela leccionação da disciplina de História da Inglaterra medieval, temos não raro sugerido aos alunos, para fins puramente lúdicos, a leitura da obra clássica de Sellar e Yeatman; no entanto, a sua condição de ‘História de Inglaterra em disparates’ faz com que de imediato aconselhemos no sentido de evitar sincronias com os períodos de avaliação escolar. Ora é precisamente de Sellar e Yeatman que citamos, em jeito de abertura, o seguinte passo: “With Edward the Confessor [1042-1066] perished the last English King [...], since he was succeeded by Waves of Norman Kings (French), Tudors (Welsh), Stuarts (Scottish), and Hanoverians (German) […]. The Norman Conquest was a Good Thing, as from this time onwards England stopped being conquered and thus was able to become top nation.” Descontada a caricatura, estas palavras e o próprio título espelham, afinal, a centralidade de 1066, parecendo reduzir todos os acontecimentos posteriores a um mero posfácio ou epílogo histórico. Esta perspectiva, manifestamente insustentável, em nada contradiz ou anula os sortilégios literário-ficcionais da data, patentes, por exemplo, num romance notável de Julian Rathbone, várias vezes reimpresso desde o seu aparecimento e amplamente merecedor de adaptação cinematográfica.

The impact of global forces on the individual: empirical evidence from the German clothing industry

Starting from theoretical perspectives on globalisation, the following article analyses how current working conditions are affected by globalisation processes. For this purpose, recent developments in the German clothing sector are traced back to the power of economic globalisation processes. Characterising the German clothing sector as pioneer in economic globalisation, we use empirical findings to illustrate how current processes of globalisation influence the work place: At organisational level, corporate strategies aim at rationalisation, standardisation and flexibilisation of work in order to response to the economic pressure of global markets. At individual level these strategies, in turn, speed up working processes and intensify working processes for the employees. Although these developments form strong trends, we conclude that the local embeddedness of companies is still of high importance with regard to organisational and individual consequences of globalisation.
