Babu Farari
No full textThis article, drawing on research carried out in the village of Jamgod (India, Madhya Pradesh), present the story of Babu Farari, an outlaw living and operating in this area in the 50s. First met during fieldwork as a legend about a local social bandit, the figure of Babu grew to acquire a deeper, three-dimensional complexity. His story has been reconstructed here from fragments of ethnography, interviews and conversations, and from information contained in the fieldnotes of Mayer, an anthropologist who did research in the same village when Babu Farari was active. This polyvocal narrative shows a “legend in the making” and provides insight into the way in which stories are embedded within wider social and political frameworks and how local history acquires meaning only in relation to contemporary social and political events. Indeed, details in the various narratives about Babu Farari’s life give rise to features of present-day local moral economies and folk ethics about State, power and the Self.Cet article, qui s’appuie sur des recherches menées dans le village de Jamgod (Inde, État de Madhya Pradesh), présente l’histoire de Babu Farari, un hors-la-loi qui vivait et opérait dans la région dans les années 1950. Rencontré pour la première fois au cours du travail de terrain comme une légende sur un bandit social local, le personnage de Babu a acquis une complexité plus profonde et tridimensionnelle. Son histoire a été reconstituée ici à partir de fragments d’ethnographie, d’entretiens et de conversations, ainsi que d’informations contenues dans les notes de terrain de Mayer, un anthropologue qui a effectué des recherches dans le même village lorsque Babu Farari était vivant. Ce récit polyvocal montre une « légende en train de se faire » et donne un aperçu de la manière dont les histoires sont intégrées dans des cadres sociaux et politiques plus larges et dont l’histoire locale n'acquiert de sens que par rapport aux événements sociaux et politiques contemporains. Les multiples Babu Farari qui m’ont été narrés sont autant de versions des économies morales actuelles et des éthiques populaires sur l’État, le pouvoir et la construction du soi

The Impact Of The Development Of ICT In Several Hungarian Economic Sectors
Get PDFAs the author could not find a reassuring mathematical and
statistical method in the literature for studying the effect of
information communication technology on enterprises, the author
suggested a new research and analysis method that he also used to study the Hungarian economic sectors. The question of what
factors have an effect on their net income is vital for enterprises. At first, the author studied some potential indicators related to economic sectors, then those indicators were compared to the net income of the surveyed enterprises. The resulting data showed that the growing penetration of electronic marketplaces contributed to the change of the net income of enterprises to the greatest extent.
Furthermore, among all the potential indicators, it was the only indicator directly influencing the net income of enterprises.
With the help of the compound indicator and the financial data
of the studied economic sectors, the author made an attempt to find a connection between the development level of ICT and
profitability. Profitability and productivity are influenced by a lot of other factors as well. As the effect of the other factors could not be measured, the results – shown in a coordinate system - are not full but informative.
The highest increment of specific Gross Value Added was
produced by the fields of ‘Manufacturing’, ‘Electricity, gas and water supply’, ‘Transport, storage and communication’ and
‘Financial intermediation’. With the exception of ‘Electricity, gas and water supply’, the other economic sectors belong to the group of underdeveloped branches (below 50 percent).
On the other hand, ‘Construction’, ‘Health and social work’ and
‘Hotels and restaurants’ can be seen as laggards, so they got into the lower left part of the coordinate system.
‘Agriculture, hunting and forestry’ can also be classified as a
laggard economic sector, but as the effect of the compound
indicator on the increment of Gross Value Added was less
significant, it can be found in the upper left part of the coordinate system. Drawing a trend line on the points, it can be made clear that it shows a positive gradient, that is, the higher the usage of ICT devices, the higher improvement can be detected in the specific Gross Value Added
A.M. Babu on Ibn Khaldun: The Pursuit of Non-Western Precursors to Marx
Get PDFAbdulrahman Mohammed Babu (1924–1996) was one of the most significant African Marxist thinkers and political figures of the twentieth century. One of the key problems that confronted Babu was the claim that Marxism was a Western product, marked by the particular concerns of the West, and thus could not be applied elsewhere. In response, Babu argued that the materialist conception of history is not exclusive to the West. Babu claimed that Ibn Khaldun anticipated some of the elements of Marx’s thought

Choosing the Right Kind of Accreditation for a Business School: A Comparison between AACSB, ACBSP, and IACBE
No full textThis paper offers a comparison of the accreditation standards of three CHEA and US Department of Education recognized business school program accreditation agencies – AACSB, ACBSP, and IACBE. It also discusses the relative challenges and benefits of achieving accreditation by these agencies. While the choice for business schools is often not very clear and is a long drawn negotiated process involving different interest groups, this paper will nevertheless offer some basis of comparison among the accreditation agencies. The author draws heavily from his own personal experiences leading accreditation efforts in various US based and international b-schools and proposes the merits and demerits of different alternatives
