A Companion to Wagner`s Parsifal (Studies in German Literature Linguistics and Culture)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRichard Wagner`s Parsifal remains an inexhaustible yet highly controversial work. This `stage consecration festival play,` as the composer described it, represents the culmination of his efforts to bring medieval myth and modern music together in a dynamic relationship. Wagner`s engagement with religion--Buddhist as well as Christian--reaches a climax here, as he seeks through artistic means `to rescue the essence of religion by perceiving its mythical symbols . . . according to their figurative value, enabling us to see their profound, hidden truth through idealized representation.` The contributors to this collection break fresh ground in exploring the text, the music, and the reception history of Parsifal. Wagner`s borrowings-and departures-from the medieval sources of the Grail legend, Wolfram`s Parzival and Chretien`s Perceval, are considered in detail, and the tensional relation of the work to Christianity is probed. New perspectives emerge that bear on the… [detailed...]

Brook Manville, Josiah Ober
A Company of Citizens: What the World`s First Democracy Teaches Leaders About Creating Great Organizations

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The `knowledge revolution` is widely accepted, but strategic leaders now talk of the logical next step: the human capital revolution and the need to manage knowledgeable people in an entirely different way. The organization of the future must be not onlynimble and flexible but also self-governing and values-driven. But what will this future organization look like? And how will it be led? In this thoughtful book, organizational expert Brook Manville and Princeton classics professor Josiah Ober suggest that the model for building the future organization may lie deep in the past. The authors argue that ancient Athenian democracy was an ingenious solution to organizing human capital through the practice of citizenship. That ancient solution holds profound lessons for today`s forward-thinking managers: They must reconceive today`s `employees` as `citizens.` Through this provocative case study of innovation and excellence lasting two hundred years, Manville and Ober describe… [detailed...]

A Comparative Political Economy of Industrial Capitalism

Publisher: —
Description: This comparative study of industrial capitalism is an examination of state-economy relations in mixed economies ranging from the interventionist German and Japanese to the less interventionist Anglo-American. Following the postwar consensus that resulted in the `golden age` (1950-1973) and ended with the energy crisis, the Anglo-American economies adopted neoliberalism while Germany and Japan remained interventionist. This resulted in the emergence of national types of capitalism. While analyzing the increased competition between them, the author also notes the influence of globalization as well as `alternative capitalism` with the survival and re-emergence of industrial districts.

Description: This research monograph is an empirical examination of cultural influences on judgments of professional accountants from Australia, India and Malaysia in relation to a number of ethical issues in accounting including auditor-client conflict resolution, whistle blowing as an internal control mechanism and social desirability response bias.
