Untimely Democracy: The Politics of Progress After Slavery
by Gregory LaskiFrom the abolition era to the Civil Rights movement to the age of Obama, the promise of perfectibility and improvement resonates in the story of American democracy. But what exactly does racial "progress" mean, and how do we recognize and achieve it? Untimely Democracy: The Politics of Progress After Slavery uncovers a surprising answer to this question in the writings of American authors and activists, both black and white. Conventional narratives of democracy stretching from Thomas Jefferson's America to our own posit a purposeful break between past and present as the key to the viability of this political form--the only way to ensure its continual development. But for Pauline E. Hopkins, Frederick Douglass, Stephen Crane, W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles W. Chesnutt, Sutton E. Griggs, Callie House, and the other figures examined in this book, the campaign to secure liberty and equality for all citizens proceeds most potently when it refuses the precepts of progressive time. Placing these authors' post-Civil War writings into dialogue with debates about racial optimism and pessimism, tracts on progress, and accounts of ex-slave pension activism, and extending their insights into our contemporary period, Laski recovers late-nineteenth-century literature as a vibrant site for doing political theory. Untimely Democracy ultimately shows how one of the bleakest periods in American racial history provided fertile terrain for a radical reconstruction of our most fundamental assumptions about this political system. Offering resources for moments when the march of progress seems to stutter and even stop, this book invites us to reconsider just what democracy can make possible.
Until Stones Become Lighter Than Water (The Margellos World Republic of Letters)
by António Lobo AntunesA novel about the horrors of war and its aftermath from one of Europe’s most brilliant authors Award†‘winning author António Lobo Antunes returns to the subject of the Portuguese colonial war in Angola with a vigorous account of atrocity and vengeance. Drawing on his own bitter experience as a soldier stationed for twenty†‘seven months in Angola, Lobo Antunes tells the story of a young African boy who is brought to Portugal by one of the soldiers who destroyed the child’s village, and of the boy’s subsequent brutal murder of this adoptive father figure at a ritual pig killing. Deftly framing the events through an assembly of interwoven narratives and perspectives, this is one of Lobo Antunes’s most captivating and experimental books. It is also a timely consideration of the lingering wounds that remain from the conflict between European expansionism and its colonized victims who were forced to accept the norms of a supposedly superior culture.
Until Choice Do Us Part: Marriage Reform in the Progressive Era
by Clare Virginia EbyFor centuries, people have been thinking and writing—and fiercely debating—about the meaning of marriage. Just a hundred years ago, Progressive era reformers embraced marriage not as a time-honored repository for conservative values, but as a tool for social change. In Until Choice Do Us Part, Clare Virginia Eby offers a new account of marriage as it appeared in fiction, journalism, legal decisions, scholarly work, and private correspondence at the turn into the twentieth century. She begins with reformers like sexologist Havelock Ellis, anthropologist Elsie Clews Parsons, and feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who argued that spouses should be “class equals” joined by private affection, not public sanction. Then Eby guides us through the stories of three literary couples—Upton and Meta Fuller Sinclair, Theodore and Sara White Dreiser, and Neith Boyce and Hutchins Hapgood—who sought to reform marriage in their lives and in their writings, with mixed results. With this focus on the intimate side of married life, Eby views a historical moment that changed the nature of American marriage—and that continues to shape marital norms today.

Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious
by N. Katherine HaylesN. Katherine Hayles is known for breaking new ground at the intersection of the sciences and the humanities. In Unthought, she once again bridges disciplines by revealing how we think without thinking—how we use cognitive processes that are inaccessible to consciousness yet necessary for it to function. Marshalling fresh insights from neuroscience, cognitive science, cognitive biology, and literature, Hayles expands our understanding of cognition and demonstrates that it involves more than consciousness alone. Cognition, as Hayles defines it, is applicable not only to nonconscious processes in humans but to all forms of life, including unicellular organisms and plants. Startlingly, she also shows that cognition operates in the sophisticated information-processing abilities of technical systems: when humans and cognitive technical systems interact, they form “cognitive assemblages”—as found in urban traffic control, drones, and the trading algorithms of finance capital, for instance—and these assemblages are transforming life on earth. The result is what Hayles calls a “planetary cognitive ecology,” which includes both human and technical actors and which poses urgent questions to humanists and social scientists alike. At a time when scientific and technological advances are bringing far-reaching aspects of cognition into the public eye, Unthought reflects deeply on our contemporary situation and moves us toward a more sustainable and flourishing environment for all beings.

Untheories of Fiction: Literary Essays from Diderot to Markson
by Mark Axelrod-SokolovThis book takes a closer look at the diversity of fiction writing from Diderot to Markson and by so doing call into question the notion of a singular “theory of fiction,” especially in relation to the novel. Unlike Forster’s approach to “Aspects of the Novel,” which implied there is only one kind of novel to which there may be an aspect, this book deconstructs how one approach to studying something as protean as the novel cannot be accomplished. To that end, the text uses Diderot’s This Is Not A Story (1772) and David Markson’s This Is Not A Novel (2016) as a frame and imbedded within are essays on De Maistre’s Voyage Around My Room (1829), Machado de Assis’s Posthumous Memoirs Of Braz Cubas (1881), André Breton’s Nadja (1928) and Elizabeth Smart’s By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept (1945).
Untersuchungen zur Negation im heutigen Deutsch (Schriften zur Linguistik #1)
by Gerhard StickelDie vorliegende Arbeit wurde im Juni 1969 der Philosophischen Fakultät der Uni versität Kiel vorgelegt und wurde im Herbst des gleichen Jahres von der Fakultät als Doktordissertation akzeptiert. Für eingehende und fördernde Kritik bin ich Herrn Professor Dr. W. Winter (Kiel) zu Dank verpflichtet. Ihm und den Herren Dr. W. Boeder (Hamburg) und Dr.J. Meyer-Ingwersen (Kiel) verdanke ich eine Reihe von nützlichen Hinweisen und Vorschlägen vor allem zu den in Kapitel 7. behan delten 'Problemen der Syntax der Negation'. Fehler und Fehlschlüsse gehen selbst verständlich auf mein eigenes Konto. Herrn Professor Dr. P. Hartmann danke ich für die Aufnahme der Arbeit in die von ihm herausgegebene Schriftenreihe. Es gilt im allgemeinen als Vorteil, wenn ein Linguist die eigene Sprache zum Gegen stand seiner Untersuchung macht, da er in diesem Fall sich selbst als Informanten benutzen kann. Trotz dieses Vorteils sah ich mich bei einer Vielzahl von Problem sätzen gezwungen, Freunde und Bekannte mit der Frage ,,Kann man das wirklich sagen? " zu plagen. Ihnen allen danke ich für ihre Bereitwilligkeit und Geduld. Um die Darstellung möglichst 'flüssig' zu halten, wurde ein Teil der Auseinander setzung mit der Literatur in Anmerkungen verlegt. Fußnoten schaffen kein ge fälliges Textbild. Ich hielt es jedoch fiir sinnvoller, die Anmerkungen in der Nähe ihrer Bezugsstellen unterzubringen, als im Anhang, wo sie den Leser nur zu stän digem Hin-und Herblättern gezwungen hätten.

Unternehmenskultur als Erfolgsfaktor der Corporate Identity: Die Bedeutung der Unternehmenskultur für den ökonomischen Erfolg von Unternehmen
by Gregor SchönbornFür Unternehmen sind die Unternehmenskultur und die Identifikation ihrer Mitarbeiter von Bedeutung, weil deren Veränderung eine Wirkung auf die Corporate Identity und einen möglichen Einfluss auf die Leistungsbereitschaft der Mitarbeiter haben. Die Gestaltung der Corporate Identity gilt als subtiles Integrationserfordernis mit hohen Anforderungen. Sie gehört zu den erfolgskritischen Aufgaben des Kommunikations-Managements und stellt einen differenzierenden Wettbewerbsfaktor dar. Gregor Schönborn identifiziert Steuerungsfaktoren einer Unternehmenskultur auf Grundlage einer Stichprobe von 47 Unternehmen. Dabei analysiert er schrittweise einen hypothetischen Zusammenhang zwischen Unternehmenskultur und wirtschaftlichem Erfolg. An den Praxisthemen ‚Nachhaltigkeit’ und ‚Employer-Branding’ demonstriert Gregor Schönborn außerdem modellhaft, wie Unternehmenskultur als identitätsstiftendes Konstrukt zum Prozesserfolg im Change Management beitragen kann.
Unternehmenskritische Kampagnen: Politischer Protest im Zeichen digitaler Kommunikation (Bürgergesellschaft und Demokratie)
by Sigrid Baringhorst Veronika Kneip Annegret März Johanna Niesyto"Gendreck weg", "Lidl ist nicht zu billigen", "Mit Tempo in die Armut": Politische Protestakteure appellieren in netzgestützten Kampagnen zunehmend an die Macht politisierter Konsumenten. Normverletzungen bekannter Markenfirmen werden skandalisiert und wirtschaftliches Handeln von Unternehmen wie Verbrauchern moralisch und politisch aufgeladen. Im netzbasierten unternehmenskritischen Protest zeigt sich eine Vielfalt innovativer, nicht institutionalisierter Formen politischer Partizipation, in denen die Grenzen zwischen öffentlicher und privater Sphäre ebenso verschwimmen wie zwischen kollektivem und individualisiertem Handeln. Neue Deutungsmuster einer wertorientierten 'Lifestyle-Politik' mit dem Einkaufswagen werden in aktuellen Formen netzvermittelter Mobilisierung und Vernetzung politischen Protests artikuliert. Der Band präsentiert eine umfassende Studie unternehmenskritischen Protests im deutschsprachigen Web und spürt dem Wandel von Protest in Online- und Offline-Räumen komplexer Kampagnenkommunikation nach: Inwiefern bietet das Internet neben politischen und ökonomischen Strukturen eine mediale Gelegenheitsstruktur für konsumeristische Protestpolitik, die auch über nationalstaatliche Grenzen hinausreicht?
Unternehmenskommunikation in Geschäftsbeziehungen: Business-to-Business-Kommunikation als Teil der funktionalen PR-Forschung (Organisationskommunikation)
by Helena StehleSowohl Forschung als auch Praxis zu Unternehmenskommunikation und Public Relations (PR) gehen auf Beziehungen zwischen Unternehmen bislang kaum ein, obwohl die Vernetzung in zahlreichen Märkten voranschreitet und Firmen vor neue Herausforderungen stellt. Die Unternehmenskommunikation kann dabei nicht nur Vertrieb und Marketing unterstützen, sondern – je nach Beziehungstyp und -situation – konstitutiven Charakter aufweisen, d. h. unmittelbar den Aufbau und Erhalt von Beziehungen berühren. Auf Basis der PR- und Interorganisationsforschung sowie strukturationstheoretischer Überlegungen erarbeitet Helena Stehle neue Konzepte für die Unternehmenskommunikation und PR. Das weit verbreitete Verständnis von Unternehmenskommunikation als Organisationsfunktion wird damit um eine Modellierung als Beziehungsfunktion ergänzt.
