The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Neodeightonia C. Booth 1970
No full textNeodeightonia C. Booth, in Punithalingam, Mycol. Pap. 119: 17 (1970) [1969] Index Fungorum number: IF 3450; Facesoffungi number: FoF 07627 Neodeightonia was introduced by Booth (Punithalingam 1969), with N. subglobosa as the type species. However, Arx & Müller (1975) synonymized Neodeightonia under Botryosphaeria. Later, Phillips et al. (2008) distinguished this genus from Botryosphaeria based on morphological and phylogenetic data and accepted Neodeightonia as a separate genus in Botryosphaeriaceae. This genus is characterized by hyaline, aseptate ascospores with polar apiculi, surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath. In the asexual morph, initially hyaline conidia become brown and 1-septate at maturity with smooth to finely roughened walls or with fine striations and this is unique to the genus Neodeightonia (Phillips et al. 2008, 2013, Konta et al. 2016, Liu et al. 2012). Eleven Neodeightonia species are listed in Index Fungorum (2022).Published as part of Rathnayaka, Achala R., Chethana, K. W. Thilini, Phillips, Alan J. L. & Jones, E. B.

Through the Lens of Color: An Interview with Gareth Doherty, Author of Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State
No full textThis interview by Mark Tirpak with Gareth Doherty of Harvard University Graduate School of Design, focuses on his Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State (University of California Press, 2017). With Paradoxes of Green (2017) and via the interview, Doherty recounts some of the findings of his ethnographic fieldwork in the Kingdom of Bahrain and describes tensions arising from differing conceptions of what ‘green’ means or signifies within this growing and predominantly arid region. An argument that Doherty makes in Paradoxes of Green (2017) is that color and form are interlinked, and that color deserves deeper consideration by policy-makers and other formal shapers of cities. The interview draws from Paradoxes of Green (2017) to discuss some of Doherty’s findings as well as his latest work on the intersections between landscape architecture and anthropology

Seebohm Rowntree and the British interwar management movement
No full textThe literature on interwar British industrial management has been severely critical. British firms have been generally presented as overly conservative, comprising a small core of progressive firms amongst conservatively-run, family-dominated businesses. According to this critique, British firms displayed little interest in new managerial approaches, unlike US firms of the period. The authors’ research into the Rowntree lectures and the British interwar management movement challenges this view. They argue that there was a nucleus of progressive British firms engaged in management learning through organized peer-to-peer communication, facilitated by lectures and management research groups initiated by Seebohm Rowntree; fostering communities of practice designed to share management knowledge and experience. British managers displayed greater openness to innovation and a willingness to confront shared problems than is commonly recognized. The authors offer a provisional reinterpretation of British management practice that repositions business education relative to extant historiography; thereby contributing to a better-informed understanding of the evolution of British management learning in the interwar years.<br/
