Art After Conceptual Art
Well-known art historians from Europe and the Americas discuss the influence of conceptualism on art since the 1970s. Art After Conceptual Art tracks the various legacies of conceptualist practice over the past three decades. This collection of essays by art historians from Europe and the Americas introduces and develops the idea that conceptual art generated several different, and even contradictory, forms of art practice. Some of these contested commonplace assumptions of what art is; others served to buttress those assumptions. The bulk of the volume features newly written and highly innovative essays challenging standard interpretations of the legacy of conceptualism and discussing the i...
Firm Competitive Advantage Through Relationship Management
Relationship management (RM) is an essential part of business, but its success as a business model can be hard to measure, with some firms embracing a model that is truly relationship-orientated, while others claim to be relationship-orientated but in fact prefer transactional short-term gain. This open access book aims to develop a mid-range theory of relationship management, examining truly relationship-orientated firms to discover not only what qualities these firms have that make them successful at the RM model, but also what benefits this model has for the firm. It addresses questions like how RM-mature companies achieve and sustain competitive advantage, and what determines the scale and scope of these firms, illustrating with case studies. This book will be of interest to scholars studying leadership and strategy, especially those interested in relationship management, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. It will also be of interest to professionals looking to develop their understanding of relationship management.
The King and the Crown of Thorns
In 1239, king Louis IX of France performed the translation of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople to Paris. The translation celebrations became a splendid religious festivity showing sacral foundations of Saint Louis's authority and the Capetian kingship. However, the translation of the Crown of Thorns to France had already a history under Louis's reign: French hagiographers and chroniclers affirmed that the first relics of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople were transferred to Aachen by Charlemagne, then to Saint-Denis Abbey by Charles the Bald. The book discusses Saint Louis's translation of the Crown of Thorns as seen on the background of both Carolingian historical memory in Capetian era and Carolingian and Capetian tradition of the royal cult of relics.
Róża
"W młodości zwiedziła autostopem prawie całą Europę. Z ojcem, Jackiem Woźniakowskim, o rzeczach ważnych rozmawiała najczęściej przy kuchennym stole. Angielskiego nauczyła się, kelnerując w małym pensjonacie w Sussex. Z Józefem Czapskim obmyślała kradzież najpiękniejszych obrazów z Luwru. Nepal urzekł ją tak, że na kilka lat zamieszkała z rodziną w Katmandu. Za sprawą kartki papieru zmieniła polską historię. Została jednym z najbardziej wpływowych europejskich polityków, pozostając sobą. „Róża przełamuje stereotypy, udowadnia, że tradycyjnie pojmowana rola kobiety może iść w parze z zaangażowaniem zawodowym i społecznym.
