The Prestige

Beyond the much discussed but certainly meaningful experience of the opening in 2017 of the Abu Dhabi satellite museum, a controversial example of a global museum, the Louvre has not lost in the passage between the two centuries the ability to present itself as an updated museological research space. Proof of this is the series of exhibitions Parti pris (1990-1998) where, thanks to the direction of the “dissident” art historian Régis Michel, intellectuals of various backgrounds – Jacques Derrida, Peter Greenaway, Jean Starobinski, Hubert Damisch, Julia Kristeva – have reinterpreted the collections of the museum through exhibitions of an overtly subjective and undisciplined nature. So, the Parti pris project was, in Michel’s words, a “zone of freedom and break” in the heart of the institution, questioning not the prestige but rather its too rigid and monumental identity. This proposal was partly taken up by Jean-Marc Terrasse, director of the auditorium and cultural events of the Louvre from 2005 to 2014, with his “special invitations” for protagonists of international culture, to build alternative and eccentric narratives through history, works and spaces of the Louvre. This essay, which analyzes in particular the contribution of the nobel for literature J.M.G. Le Clézio, curator of the project Les musées sont des mondes (2011), highlights the critical value and the urgency of these exhibition proposals thanks to which the museum becomes the driving force of a reflection which, overcoming conventional disciplinary distinctions, is able to urge the public to new views and different aesthetic and ethical perspectives.

Статья посвящена анализу того, как постструктуралистские представления о «тексте» и «текстуальном» влияют на академическую библеистику и традиционную экзегезу. Автор на множестве примеров показывает, что критический настрой философии Деррида помогает читателю Писания, придерживающегося традиционных для религиозных общин (христианство, иудаизм) принципов толкования, отстоять своё право на подобную герменевтическую программу перед лицом библейской критики и вызовов академического рационализма. При исследовании этого влияния автор опирается на работы известных французских философов: Жака Деррида, Юлии Кристевой, Ролана Барта. The article is devoted to the analysis of how post-structural notions of «text» and «textuality» influence academic biblical studies and traditional exegesis. The author shows, through a variety of examples, that the critical approach of Derrida’s philosophy helps the reader of Scripture who adheres to the traditional principles of traditional interpretation to defend his right to such a hermeneutic program in the face of biblical criticism and the challenges of academic rationality. In studying this influence, the author draws on the works of famous French philosophers: Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Roland Bart.

The Stranger

AbstractIn recent cosmopolitan work, scholars such as Julia Kristeva, Zygmunt Bauman, Jacques Derrida, and Ulrich Beck have represented the stranger as a universal ideal for our global age and Georg Simmel’s stranger in the Exkurs über den Fremden has been emphasized as a model for this ideal. While these uses can be justified by generalized passages in Simmel’s essay, they still omit the problem of European Jewish historical exemplarity. Thus, in the decades before Simmel’s essay, this stranger type was already a well-developed figure related to the so-called Jewish question. Georg Brandes and Henrik Pontoppidan used the Jewish stranger to evaluate the societal changes of the fin-de-siècle period and questions of progress vs. decay. Yet, their work limited the stranger to a specific type of Jewishness not including other marginal existences. Hence, reading Simmel with Brandes and Pontoppidan outlines the boundaries of this stranger type as it raises questions regarding recent cosmopolitan uses of Simmel’s stranger.

PurposeThis study aims to critically investigate the structural relationships between total quality management (TQM), service innovation and sustainability performance in the public service sector of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).Design/methodology/approachThe study employed an online survey to collect data from 400 employees working in eight selected UAE public service sector organisations located in Abu Dhabi. The collected data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to empirically examine whether TQM practices improve service innovation and, subsequently, sustainability performance in the UAE's public service sector.FindingsThe results show that TQM has a significant impact on service innovation and sustainability performance in the UAE's public service sector. Additionally, service innovation partially mediates the relationship between TQM and sustainability performance.Practical implicationsThe public service sector's TQM practices and service innovation in the UAE have a much greater impact on social and environmental sustainability than on economic sustainability performance. Adopting five dimensions of TQM (following the Abu Dhabi Award for Excellence in Government Performance [ADAEP] model) across the UAE's public organisations will enable government departments to deliver innovative services to its beneficiaries.Originality/valueThis study provides a substantial contribution by addressing the gaps in the literature. Very few studies have empirically investigated the possible association between TQM, service innovation and sustainability performance in public sector organisations, particularly in developing countries such as the UAE, where the increasing efforts in TQM practices are still in their emerging stages, mainly targeting innovative service offerings and sustainable performance.

The Way

This article used some postmodern literary theories of philosophers such as Jean-Fran�ois Lyotard, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Julia Kristeva to scrutinise a selection of texts from the post-exilic period with regard to the exclusive language employed in these texts. Lyotard�s insights relate to and complement Foucault�s concept of �counter-memory�. Foucault also focuses on the network of discursive powers that operate behind texts and reproduce them, arguing that it is important to have a look from behind so as to see which voices were silenced by the specific powers behind texts. The author briefly looked at different post-exilic texts within identity-finding contexts, focusing especially on Chronicles and a few Qumran texts, to examine the way in which they used language to create identity and to empower the community in their different contexts. It is generally accepted that both the author(s) of 1 & 2 Chronicles and the Qumran community used texts selectively, with their own nuances, omissions and additions. This study scrutinised the way the author(s) of Chronicles and the Qumran community used documents selectively, focusing on the way in which they used exclusive language. It is clear that all communities used such language in certain circumstances to strengthen a certain group�s identity, to empower them and to legitimise this group�s conduct, behaviour and claims � and thereby exclude other groups.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Based on postmodern literary theories, this article compares the exclusive language used in Chronicles and in the texts of the Qumran community, pointing to the practice of creating identity and empowering through discourse. In conclusion, the article reflects on what is necessary in a South African context, post-1994, to be a truly democratic country.Keywords: Exclusive language; inclusive; Jean-Fran�ois Lyotard, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu; Derrida; Qumran Chronicles

This chapter discusses the skill challenges in the creative industries. The public service broadcasting (PSB) system is the driving force behind the UK's vibrant TV production sector. The PSBs are responsible for some 80 per cent of total investment in UK original non-news content. Independent producers are responsible for around 60 per cent of total commissioned hours on the five main PSB channels. As new platforms and formats emerge and old divides are blurred, there is a need for a holistic and collaborative approach across not just PSBs but all screen-based industries to ensure that the creative industries' talent base can compete globally. This requires upskilling and re-skilling with an integrated view and a systematic approach to tackling barriers to entry and enabling progression within an ever more casualized workforce.

In this chapter, the correspondence of a young couple reveals love and the pursuit of happiness as a driving force behind migration and the importance of letters for the preservation of relationship in the times of separation. The region-specific women’s migration from Slovenia to Egypt, known as aleksandrinstvo, provides the gender context for the analysis of an epistolary love story, confronted by the rearrangements of the normative gender roles and the public moral condemnation of women migrants. The correspondence is presented in the context of the larger family and community system of migration of two different, yet deeply connected worlds—Slovenian villages and Egyptian cities in the 1920s.

At Home

By 1938, Steiner was showing the strain of nonstop work. At home, the presence of his demanding father put strains on Max’s marriage. And although he scored many of Warner Bros.’ most prestigious releases—Dark Victory and the epic western Dodge City are among the works analyzed here—Steiner balked whenever he felt “demoted” and forced to score “westerns and prison pictures.” In March 1939, David O. Selznick decided that he wanted Steiner to score Gone with the Wind. In a revealing letter included in this chapter, Steiner begged Jack Warner to permit this loan-out, “to regain the prestige” he felt he had lost. In Warner’s reply—also included—the mogul praised Steiner as “the best musical composer in the industry,” while reminding him that “the public” were their “most important judges.” Indeed, many of the films Steiner disparaged are now considered classics.
