Managing Staff Concerns And Expectations During A Library Merger, Adriaan Swanepoel Jun 2004

Managing Staff Concerns And Expectations During A Library Merger, Adriaan Swanepoel

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss results of a survey to measure concerns and expectations of library staff before and after a merger. The survey was done four months before a merger took place between three separate Technikons in South Africa, and it was repeated two months after the merger. The questionnaire that was used to gather information from all full-time library staff members of the three technikons included questions on how important it is for library staff, within the context of the merger, that certain work-related conditions stay the same, e.g. to have the same …


Developing A Learning Organisation, Hans Selberg Jun 2004

Developing A Learning Organisation, Hans Selberg

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The learning organisation is an organisation which consciously and continuously betters its capacity to learn and develop both at an individual -, group -, and organisational level. The purpose is to increase efficiency, flexibility and the ability to change. The learning organisation is continually developing its capacity to create its own future. NTNU Library is the second largest university library in Norway, with the nations largest and most comprehensive collections covering technology and architecture. The rapid change from traditional collections to e-resources, seen particularly within technological libraries, may cause a feeling that traditional library-values are being threatened. To counter this, …

Benjamin, Agamben, And The Paradox Of Translation, Paolo Bartoloni Jun 2004

Benjamin, Agamben, And The Paradox Of Translation, Paolo Bartoloni

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Benjamin, Agamben, and the Paradox of Translation," Paolo Bartoloni offers a theoretical discourse on translation that goes beyond the traditional precincts of linguistics and literary theory as well as the disciplines of cultural studies and postcolonial theory. Bartoloni argues that more recently, the discourse on translation has begun to incorporate epistemological concerns, dealing not only with language but also with subjectivity and ethics. At the root of this theoretical articulation of translation are the essays "The Task of the Translator" ("Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers") by Walter Benjamin and other reflections on translation by Martin Heidegger, especially in …


Haruki Murakami And The Ethics Of Translation, Will Slocombe Jun 2004

Haruki Murakami And The Ethics Of Translation, Will Slocombe

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Haruki Murakami and the Ethics of Translation," Will Slocombe argues that despite the fact that Murakami has gained world-wide popularity recently, there has been little critical attention to his works outside of the comparatively narrow area of Japanese studies. Slocombe proposes that Murakami is too important an author to be limited in this way because of his definition of "translation." For Murakami, translation delineates an operative ethics between Self and Other, a dialogue that is not only between different languages and cultures, but also between the private and political spheres, and between different individuals. Slocombe discusses Murakami's …


Medieval Cosmopolitanism And The Saracen-Christian Ethos, Marla Segol Jun 2004

Medieval Cosmopolitanism And The Saracen-Christian Ethos, Marla Segol

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper, "Medieval Cosmopolitanism and the Saracen-Christian Ethos," Marla Segol argues that in Floire et Blancheflor and Aucassin et Nicolette, two medieval Occitanian romances, the writers work actively to incorporate Islamic culture and its accomplishments into a hybrid communal identity. The hybrid elements of this identity are demonstrated in two ways: first, through the portrayal of mixed couples and second, through depiction of a biculturally constituted landscape and culture. Intercultural relations between the characters are dramatized through the structures of religious conversion. Each romance features a mixed couple, with one member Christian and the other, formerly Muslim but converted …
