Much organizational identity research has grappled with the question of identity emergence or change. Yet the question of identity endurance is equally puzzling. Relying primarily on an analysis of ...309 internal bulletins produced at a French aeronautics firm over almost 50 years, we theorize a link between collective memory and organizational identity endurance. More specifically, we show how forgetting in a firm's ongoing rhetorical history—here, the bulletins' repeated omission of contradictory elements in the firm's past (i.e., structural omission) or attempts to neutralize them with valued identity cues (i.e., preemptive neutralization)—sustains its identity. Thus, knowing "who we are" might depend in part on repeatedly remembering to forget "who we were not."
El presente estudio tiene por objeto dilucidar cómo Jean-Claude Izzo (1945-2000) secuencia las escenas que describe en el discurso textual de su trilogía policíaca (Total Khéops, Chourmo y Solea) en ...función de la música con la que las ambienta, intentando, a su vez, precisar qué elementos son los que le llevan a utilizar uno u otro género musical. Este se estructurará, asimismo, a partir de las distintas temáticas asociadas a los vínculos relacionales e identitarios que se establecen entre sus personajes, analizando, en cada una de ellas, la variedad de música que emplea Izzo para aclimatar los pasajes de su obra. Esclarecer esta conexión entre literatura y música nos permitirá determinar los vínculos discursivos que pueden crearse entre ambas manifestaciones artísticas con el fin de intensificar la sensación empática que siente el o la lector/a ante un fragmento donde la música emana de forma simbiótica con el texto escrito.
Voting is a habit. People learn the habit of voting, or not, based on experience in their first few elections. Elections that do not stimulate high turnout among young adults leave a 'footprint' of ...low turnout in the age structure of the electorate as many individuals who were new at those elections fail to vote at subsequent elections. Elections that stimulate high turnout leave a high turnout footprint. So a country's turnout history provides a baseline for current turnout that is largely set, except for young adults. This baseline shifts as older generations leave the electorate and as changes in political and institutional circumstances affect the turnout of new generations. Among the changes that have affected turnout in recent years, the lowering of the voting age in most established democracies has been particularly important in creating a low turnout footprint that has grown with each election.

Michel Foucault, Jean-Paul Sartre, Julia Kristeva, Phillipe Sollers, and Jean-Luc Godard. During the 1960s, a who's who of French thinkers, writers, and artists, spurred by China's Cultural ...Revolution, were seized with a fascination for Maoism. Combining a merciless expos of left-wing political folly and cross-cultural misunderstanding with a spirited defense of the 1960s, The Wind from the East tells the colorful story of this legendary period in France. Richard Wolin shows how French students and intellectuals, inspired by their perceptions of the Cultural Revolution, and motivated by utopian hopes, incited grassroots social movements and reinvigorated French civic and cultural life.
This book explores the idea that modern Western secular cultures have retained a belief in the concept of Hell as an event or experience of endless or unjust suffering.
A trusted advisor to Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson and one of America’s leading professors of economic history, W. W. Rostow has helped shape the intellectual debate and governmental ...policies on major economic, political, and military issues since World War II. In this thought-provoking memoir, he takes a retrospective look at eleven key policy problems with which he has been involved to show how ideas flow into concrete action and how actions taken or not taken in the short term actually determine the long run that we call the future. The issues that Rostow discusses are these: o The use of air power in Europe in the 1940s o Working toward a united Europe during the Cold War o The death of Joseph Stalin and early attempts to end the Cold War o Eisenhower’s Open Skies policy o The debate over foreign aid in the 1950s o The economic revival of Korea o Efforts to control inflation in the 1960s o Waiting for democracy in China o The Vietnam War and Southeast Asian policy o U.S. urban problems in disadvantaged neighborhoods o The challenges posed by declining population in the twenty-first century In discussing how he and others have worked to meet these challenges, Rostow builds a compelling case for including long-term forces in the making of current policy. He concludes his memoir with provocative reflections on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and on how individual actors shape history.

With the end of the Second World War, all its violence, war crimes, and sufferings as well as the atomic threat of the Cold War period, societies began to gradually remember wars in a different way. ...The glorious or hon-orable element of the age of nationalism was trans-formed into a rather dunning one, while peace move-ments demanded an end of war itself. To analyze these changes and to show how war was remembered after the end of the Second World War, the present volume assembles the work of international specialists who deal with this particular question from different national and international perspectives. The contributions analyze the role of soldiers, perpetrators, and victims of different conflicts, including the Second World War. They show which motivational settings led to the erection of war memorials reflecting the values and historical traditions of the second half of the 20th and the 21st centuries. Thus this interdisciplinary volume explores how war is commemorated and how its actors and victims are perceived around the globe.
