Where Do Flappers Fit In?: The Photography of Modern Fashion in Australia

The visual technique of fashion photography is examined which taught Australian women to look modern. Especially fashion photography intervenes ambivalently into the story of Australian modernism and modernity. During 1920s and 1930s within the fashion press there were synergies and differences between commercial fashion photography, celebrity and cinematic portraiture, and social set endorsement. However, modernism was widely acknowledged in Australia during the 1920s through women's spaces, their fashions and culture of department stores.

Management consultancies as institutional agents:strategies for creating and sustaining institutional capital

Management consultants have long been recognized as carriers of management knowledge and disseminators of management fashions. While it is well understood how they promote the acceptance of their concepts, surprisingly little has been said about their strategies to promote the acceptability of their services. In this paper, we elaborate a typology of strategies by which management consultancies can create and sustain such “institutional capital” (Oliver, 1997) that helps them extract competitive resources from their institutional context. Drawing on examples from the German consulting industry, we show how localized competitive actions can enhance individual firm’s positions, but also the collective institutional capital of the consulting industry as a whole, legitimize consulting services in broader sectors of society and facilitating access to requisite resources. These accounts counter prevailing imagery of institutional entrepreneurship as individualistic, “heroic” action and demonstrate how distributed, embedded actors can collectively shape the institutional context from within to enhance their institutional capital.

Modifying the hierarchical porosity of SBA-15 via mild-detemplation followed by secondary treatments

Fenton-chemistry-based detemplation combined with secondary treatments offers options to tune the hierarchical porosity of SBA-15. This approach has been studied on a series of SBA-15 mesophases and has been compared to the conventional calcination. The as-synthesized and detemplated materials were studied with regard to their template content (TGA, CHN), structure (SAXS, TEM), surface hydroxylation (Blin-Carterets approach), and texture (high-resolution argon physisorption). Fenton detemplation achieves 99% of template removal, leading to highly hydroxylated materials. The structure is better preserved when a secondary treatment is applied after the Fenton oxidation, due to the intense capillary forces during drying in water. Two successful approaches are presented: drying in a low-surface-tension solvent (such as n-BuOH) and a hydrothermal stabilization to further condense the structure and make it structurally more robust. Both approaches give rise to remarkably low structural shrinkage, lower than calcination and the direct water-dried Fenton. Interestingly, the derived textural features are remarkably different. The n-BuOH exchange route gives rise to highly hierarchical structures with enhanced interconnecting pores and the highest surface areas. The hydrothermal stabilization produces large-pore SBA-15 structures with high pore volume, intermediate interconnectivity, and minimal micropores. Therefore, the hierarchical texture can be fine-tuned in these two fashions while the template is removed under mild conditions.

On and Off the Stage at Atlanta Greek Picnic: Performances of Collective Black Middle-Class Identities and the Politics of Belonging

This dissertation presents a thick ethnography that engages in the micro-analysis of the situationality of black middle-class collective identification processes through an examination of performances by members of the nine historically black sororities and fraternities at Atlanta Greek Picnic, an annual festival that occurs at the beginning of June in Atlanta, Georgia. It mainly attracts undergraduate and graduate members of these university-based organizations, as they exist all over the United States. This exploration of black Greek-letter organization (BGLO) performances uncovers processes through which young black middle-class individuals attempt to combine two universes that are at first glance in complete opposition to each other: the domain of the traditional black middle-class values with representations and fashions stemming from black popular culture. These constructions also attempt to incorporate—in a contradiction of sorts— black popular cultural elements in the objective to deconstruct the social conservatism that characterizes middle-class values, particularly in relation to sexuality and its representation in social behaviors and performances. This negotiation between prescribed v middle-class values of respectability and black popular culture provides a space wherein black individuals challenge and/or perpetuate those dominant tropes through identity performances that feed into the formation of black sexual politics, which I examine through a variety of BGLO staged and non-staged performances.

A simulação do real organizacional: O método dos casos como ponte entre o conhecimento tácito e o académico

O desenvolvimento da ciência organizacional tem sido marcado pelo desdobramento de modas e modelos nas mais diversas áreas. O presente artigo reflecte sobre o seu papel, particularmente, por via dos estudos de caso. Sendo as escolas de negócios e de gestão um dos actores importantes na difusão destes modismos, o método dos casos, enquanto estratégia pedagógica, é entendido aqui como um importante veículo de coordenação entre a investigação científica organizacional e a sua realidade. Contribui para a aproximação entre os vários intervenientes neste processo (professores, alunos, gestores, líderes e empresários). Advoga-se a sua importância por estabelecer uma ponte entre a academia e a o mundo organizacional, entre o conhecimento teórico dos académicos e o conhecimento tácito dos agentes empresariais.

Love’s Calling How eroticism encourages religious intentions in "Joseph and Aseneth" and the "AEthiopika"

Ce mémoire s’intéresse à l’emploi de l’érotisme et de l’amour comme outils littéraires dans deux romans de l’Antiquité. Le texte principal est un écrit dérivé de la Torah intitulé Joseph et Aséneth. Le second est le roman grec d’Héliodore d’Émèse, Les Éthiopiques. Puisque tout auteur, peu importe sa foi, avait une éducation hellénique semblable, on retrouve des motifs similaires dont les détails se distinguent et les buts sont aux antipodes dans ces textes. Dans le cas de cette recherche, il s’agit de deux oeuvres du genre romanesque écrites en grec qui emploient chacune une histoire romantique à des fins édifiantes. Les buts de cette analyse sont triples. Ce travail cherche à montrer que Joseph et Aseneth a droit au titre de « roman grec, » de qualifier les expériences religieuses présentées dans ces oeuvres et de participer au débat sur la datation de Joseph et Aseneth par une étude comparée. Cette recherche se divise en trois sections. D’abord, le topos bien connu des romans a été analysé : la maladie d’amour. Dans les deux cas, le coup de foudre et la maladie émotionnelle qui s’en suit ont été dévoilés comme moteur important de la trame narrative, ainsi qu’une manière d’introduire des thèmes religieux ou philosophiques. En second lieu, les paroles des personnages au sujet de l’amour et le mariage ont été considérées. Puisque les protagonistes refusent le mariage initialement, les raisons données pour ce refus ont été révélatrices encore une fois de soucis sociaux, soit religieux, soit politiques. En dernier lieu, la relation entre le couple romantique et les dieux présents dans ces récits a été analysée. Les deux romans témoignent de la croyance contemporaine du grand rôle des dieux dans la vie des humains. Cette implication divine dans la vie mortelle s’est manifestée de manières différentes, car elle relève des buts divergents des deux romans. Le parallèle qui se présente est un lien individuel avec les dieux qui est évident dans les romans d’amour.

Io, tu, gli altri. Studio sul genere lirico.

Nonostante la ricchezza e la varietà delle voci che costituiscono l’orizzonte proteiforme della poesia degli ultimi centocinquanta anni, pare ancora non del tutto tramontato uno dei miti più duraturi della modernità letteraria: che tutta la poesia sia da considerare poesia lirica e che la lirica sia, sostanzialmente, liricità, un’accezione tonale più che un genere letterario. A fondamento di tale mito convergono numerose ricostruzioni storiche dello scorso secolo. La presente ricerca nasce dalla convinzione che sia altamente fuorviante considerare la lirica in maniera statica e non dinamica, prenderla in esame come un qualcosa di fisso e già dato, quasi si trattasse di un concetto metastorico, che può o non può conservare una sua attualità, una sua inerenza con la forma dell’esperienza della contemporaneità. I nostri modi di leggere, rappresentare e costruire la realtà cambiano in continuazione, mentre la lirica rimarrebbe lì, cristallizzata nei modi e negli statuti che le sono stati associati in età romantica. La lirica ha, nelle letterature occidentali, una lunghissima storia, ma uno statuto generico ondivago e incerto. Tre risultano essere gli snodi decisivi per la sua evoluzione: il momento della sua fondazione (l’antichità greca), il momento della sua riattivazione generica (il Rinascimento), e il momento della sua ridefinizione (il Romanticismo). Nel presente lavoro si cercherà di ripercorrere questa storia attraverso una prospettiva eccentrica, ossia quella del rapporto io-tu. In questo modo emergeranno nuove costanti e nuove varianti in base alle quali considerare il testo lirico e la sua storia. L’obiettivo è quello di delineare una teoria della lirica aperta, inclusiva e anti-essenzialista
