La trace de la machette : une lecture de la transmission et de la transgression culturelle dans Histoire d’Awu de Justine Mintsa
Get PDFThe Trace of a Machete: Reading cultural transmission and transgression in Justine Mintsa’s Histoire d’Awu Obame Afane was six years old when his paternal grandmother gives him the machete with which she had once used to cut his umbilical cord. She had said that she used it because he showed his head first to the “Door of Life”, which, for her, was a sign that he would be an honorable man. She gave it to him during the week that he was circumcised, and asked him to watch over the wellbeing of the descendants. Based on the meaning that his grandmother gave to the machete, Obame Afane strove to honor her memory by being accountable and generous. But after his retirement, his world fell apart for lack of pension. This change led him to question the meaning of the machete. I analyze the controversial meaning of the machete in Obame Afane’s hands based on a comparative approach to phenomenology between Georges Poulet, Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida

Pracownicy instytucji kultury vs. świat biznesu. Zasady prowadzenia negocjacji z trudnymi partnerami
Get PDFEmployees of cultural institutions versus the business world. Business negotiations with difficult partners The aim of this paper is to analyze factors determining effective negotiations from the perspective of employees of cultural institutions. The paper presents the results of the research conducted in the years 2007–2014 in collaboration with NCK. The participants of workshops, post-graduate studies and trainings (who were representatives of culture institutions) were asked to name significant problems that occurred during their regular business negotiations. The most often mentioned challenge was facing an asymmetrical relation which they claimed to be part of. The participants stated that an unequal distribution of power influenced almost each of their actions, so it led them to failure. They believed that negotiations with a cultural event sponsor were win-lose situations in which they were usually the losers. They considered almost each representative of a business world as a hard negotiator. The article analyzes these problems and points out some areas for improving the approach of culture institutions employees as well as suggests some directions for the development of bargaining skills
