Nachhaltiges Personalmanagement als Schlüsselfaktor für erfolgreiches Wirtschaften: Eine linguistische Diskursanalyse ausgewählter Unternehmenstexte und Printmedien (Sprache und Wirtschaft)
by Elisabeth GeursenMit diesem Open-Access-Buch liefert Elisabeth Geursen erstmals Erkenntnisse zum Nachhaltigkeitsbegriff im Personalmanagement, auf den mit „Human Capital“ oder „Human Ressource“ referiert wird, mithilfe primär linguistischer Methoden. Der Nachhaltigkeitsidee wird im deutschsprachigen und internationalen Kontext gesellschaftspolitische Relevanz zugewiesen. Geursen präsentiert im Bereich des gesellschaftlichen Diskurses um nachhaltiges Wirtschaften im Personalbereich prominente Themenkomplexe und deren diskurspezifische Verhandlung in ihrer zeitlichen Entwicklung über einen Zeitraum von 20 Jahren. Hervorzuheben ist der kontrastive Ansatz: Es wird die Themenentwicklung in den Geschäfts- und Nachhaltigkeitsberichten von drei branchenspezifischen Unternehmen, die hinsichtlich ihrer Nachhaltigkeitsaktivitäten besondere massenmediale Aufmerksamkeit erhalten, sowie in überregionalen Printmedien untersucht. Aus den Analyseergebnissen leitet Geursen Handlungsempfehlungen für Akteure ab und demonstriert damit einen starken Praxisbezug. Geursen gelingt eine Erweiterung bisheriger Nachhaltigkeitsforschung in einem wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Themenfeld durch eine operationalisierte, theoretisch-fundierte diskurslinguistische und framebezogene Methodik (hier dem Verfahren nach Konerding entsprechend).
Nadie escucha (Alfaguara Ser.)
by Julio LlamazaresOpiniones, reportajes y artículos de viaje que revelan el pensamiento y la experiencia de un escritor que ha dado a la literatura española contemporánea algunas de sus mejores páginas. «Últimamente hay demasiado ruido. Si de alguna manera tuviera que definir la época en la que estamos viviendo, es como un tiempo en el que hay tanto ruido que nadie escucha a nadie, ni siquiera a sí mismo.» En medio de esta constatación escéptica, la prosa tranquila, amable y socarrona de Julio Llamazares resulta ser un lugar de descanso, un oasis ameno donde la palabra del autor se confunde con las reflexiones del lector, un regalo para todos aquellos capaces de escuchar a los demás sin dejar por ello de oírse a sí mismos. A esos lectores dedica el autor Nadie escucha.
Nadie muere la víspera
by Manuel VicentManuel Vicent recopila en Nadie muere en la víspera 150 textos sobre filosofía de vida y su profesión. «Este libro no es solo una selección de artículos que he escrito en El País a lo largo de los últimos cuatro años. De este trabajo ha sido extraído un núcleo de sensaciones, historias y visiones hasta formar un dietario, que puede leerse como una forma de ser, de pensar, de creer y de vivir: un trayecto hacia una salvación personal en la que cualquier lector puede participar. De todo lo que nos ocurre en este camino de la vida he tratado de escoger esos momentos que nos hacen felices, perplejos, escépticos y expertos en pequeños placeres. Las mismas palabras que fueron embarcadas en un periódico tienen ahora en el libro una lectura distinta y una trama nueva cuyo argumento es este: hasta el día de la muerte todos somos inmortales cazadores de mariposas.»Manuel Vicent
Nadine Gordimer's Fiction: Transitional Phases in South African History, Politics and Society
by Syeda Faiqa MazharNadine Gordimer’s Fiction is a major study of the life and writings of Nadine Gordimer, a towering figure in the literary and cultural life of South Africa in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, recognised for her fiction through several prizes, most notably the 1991 Nobel Prize for Literature. It has the makings of a guide, taking the reader through the complexities in Gordimer’s life, literature, and society, backed by academic research (doctoral and postdoctoral) and informed by Dr. Mazhar’s study visit to South Africa, including a face-to-face interview with Gordimer. The reader gets a rich picture mediated by the author’s own intellectual journey from Pakistan – the country of her birth – and the United Kingdom. Dr. Mazhar maps the complexities of colonialism in South Africa and beyond in different forms, most notably in the legislated discrimination based on race/ethnicity, Apartheid (1948–1994). Covering the literary writings and political activism of Gordimer both during and after Apartheid, the book provides the reader with a detailed account of individual works of fiction, and vistas of critical thought and action that serve as their source and backdrop. Dr. Mazhar draws on the cultural theories of Homi Bhabha, especially on the notion of The Third Space, a fictional space/borderland between social and political polarisations, which allows for reflection, refinement, and re-action that is transformational and psychologically uplifting. She demonstrates that Gordimer takes her characters through such spaces, which allow for a transformational experience that leads to perspectives/realisations that were missing as a result of constraints that were externally imposed by law and tradition and interiorised as a survival mode. Dr. Mazhar concludes that Gordimer gracefully articulates her vision for a world free of complexities, which one must strive for. Although the book presents the academic analysis of Gordimer‘s fiction and the memoir as separate parts, there are organic connections between the two, which link the social ethos, political struggles, varied ideological perspectives, and ethnic and trans-ethnic identities from which Gordimer draws her subjects and their lives and depicts them through appropriate narrative techniques. Nadine Gordimer’s Fiction is a welcome addition to books on author studies, literary criticism, and South African culture and society. It offers excellent material for both academic and non-academic readers. The style of writing used in the book is clear and simple, yet powerful. This can help the reader to appreciate the enormous achievement of Gordimer, which has established her as a major literary figure in South Africa and beyond.

Nadine Gordimer: A Casebook (Routledge Revivals)
by Judie NewmanInternational in her appeal, Nadine Gordimer is an original and accomplished novelist whose works have found literary and popular recognition. In this critical study, first published in 1988 and the first by a woman, Judie Newman discusses Gordimer’s novels, including A Sport of Nature. Gordimer’s writing is both political committed and formally innovative, confronting subject matter of great contemporary interest and at the same time seeking out narrative forms that combine European and indigenous culture. Her novels are sensitive to their context, while also offering an important contribution to postmodernist reassessments of narrative poetics, and a challenge to European conceptions of the novel. Judie Newman places particular emphasis on Gordimer’s searching investigation of the relation of gender to genre, and explores other major concerns such as the crisis of liberal values, the nature of historical consciousness, racism, sexual politics, and the psychopathology of power. Her study combines close literary analysis with a wide-ranging exploration of ideas, showing clearly how the artist can contribute to contemporary debate.
Nafssiya, or Edward Said's Affective Phenomenology of Racism
by Norman Saadi NikroThis book adapts the Arabic term nafsiyya to trace the phenomenological contours of Edward Said’s analysis of the affective dimensions of colonial and imperial racism. Reflecting on what he called his “colonial education,” Said rendered his Palestinian/Arab background and experience of racism an enabling component of his academic work. The argument focuses on his “personal dimension” section in his introduction to his famous volume Orientalism, discussing key notions of Said’s oeuvre—such as ‘elaboration,’ ‘circumstance,’ ‘humanism,’ ‘worldliness,’ ‘inventory,’ and ‘critical consciousness.’ Providing a lengthy study of his earlier and somewhat neglected Beginnings: Intention and Method, the book discusses the significance of the style of the essay as a key component of what the author calls Said’s interventionist brand of scholarship. The final chapter outlines how Said’s oeuvre can be situated in a genealogy of a radical phenomenology of racism that emerged from the colonies.
Nagai Kafū's Occidentalism: Defining the Japanese Self
by Rachael HutchinsonNagai Kafū (1879–1959) spent more time abroad than any other writer of his generation, firing the Japanese imagination with his visions of America and France. Applying the theoretical framework of Occidentalism to Japanese literature, Rachael Hutchinson explores Kafū's construction of the Western Other, an integral part of his critique of Meiji civilization. Through contrast with the Western Other, Kafū was able to solve the dilemma that so plagued Japanese intellectuals—how to modernize and yet retain an authentic Japanese identity in the modern world. Kafū's flexible positioning of imagined spaces like the "West" and the "Orient" ultimately led him to a definition of the Japanese Self. Hutchinson analyzes the wide range of Kafū's work, particularly those novels and stories reflecting Kafū's time in the West and the return to Japan, most unknown to Western readers and a number unavailable in English, along with his better-known depictions of Edo's demimonde. Kafū's place in Japan's intellectual history and his influence on other writers are also discussed.

Naked In Baghdad
by Anne GarrelsAs National Public Radio's senior foreign correspondent, Anne Garrels has covered conflicts in Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. She is renowned for direct, down-to-earth, insightful reportage, and for her independent take on what she sees. One of only sixteen non-embedded American journalists who stayed in Baghdad's now-legendary Palestine Hotel throughout the American invasion of Iraq, she was at the very center of the storm. Naked in Baghdad gives us the sights, sounds, and smells of our latest war with unparalleled vividness and immediacy. Garrels's narrative starts with several trips she made to Baghdad before the war, beginning in October 2002. At its heart is her evolving relationship with her Iraqi driver/minder, Amer, who becomes her friend and confidant, often serving as her eyes and ears among the populace and taking her where no other reporter was able to penetrate. Amer's own strong reactions and personal dilemma provide a trenchant counterpoint to daily events. The story is also punctuated by e-mail bulletins sent by Garrels's husband, Vint Lawrence, to their friends around the world, giving a private view of the rough-and-tumble, often dangerous life of a foreign correspondent, along with some much-needed comic relief.
Naked Liberty and the World of Desire: Elements of Anarchism in the Work of D.H. Lawrence (Studies in Major Literary Authors #20)
by Simon CaseyIn this new and original study, Simon Casey explores the long-neglected link between D. H. Lawrence and philosophical anarchism. Focusing on the writings of some of the major anarchists-with particular emphasis on Stirner, Godwin, Bakunin and Thoreau-this book argues that the conceptual parallels between Lawrence and anarchism are strong and extensive and that reading Lawrence within the context of this tradition significantly enhances any understanding of his work. Lawrence's faith in the essential decency of human nature, his forceful defense of individual liberty, and his intolerance of all forms of domination and control all reflect the essential features of anarchism. Naked Liberty and the World of Desire looks at where these attitudes find explicit articulation in Lawrence's essays, poems, and letters, and shows how they are illustrated in his major works of fiction.

Names and Naming
by Guy Puzey Laura KostanskiThis book explores international trends in naming and contributes to the growing field of onomastic enquiry. Naming practices are viewed here through a critical lens, demonstrating a high level of political and social engagement in relation to how we name people and places. The contributors to this publication examine why names are not only symbols of a person or place, but also manifestations of cultural, linguistic and social heritage in their own right. Presenting analyses of geographically and culturally diverse perspectives and case studies, the book investigates how names can represent deeper kinds of identity, act as objects of attachment and dependence, and reflect community mores and social customs while functioning as powerful mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. The book will be of interest to researchers in onomastics, sociology, human geography, linguistics and history.
