Als "deutscher Kennedy" zum Sieg? Willy Brandt, die USA und die Medien
No full textAm Beispiel Willy Brandts und seiner Beziehungen zu den USA wird deutsche und amerikanische Außenpolitik als transnationale Mediengeschichte interpretiert. Wie wirkte sich das besondere Verhältnis zu den USA auf den medialen und politischen Stil der Bundesrepublik aus? Dies wird erstens anhand der publizistischen Vermittlung von Brandts Reisen in die USA und der daraus resultierenden Imagebildung untersucht. Zweitens wird nach amerikanischen Einflüssen auf Brandts Inszenierungspraktiken und die damit verbundene Medienberichterstattung gefragt; dabei steht John F. Kennedy als Vorbild im Zentrum. Der Untersuchungsschwerpunkt liegt auf der Zeit von 1958 bis 1961.Focusing on Willy Brandt as an example, this article approaches German and US foreign policies through the perspective of transnational media history.

Second, the analysis traces the American influences on Brandt’s political and media styles with special emphasis on John F. Kennedy as a role model.

Author and Authorship in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman: Willy Loman\u27s Attempts to Author a Nostalgic, Fictitious Past Lead to His Downfall, While Linda Loman’s Miller-Authored Warnings Fall on Willy’s Ever-Deaf Ears
No full textThroughout the 20th century, the American male protagonist’s obsession with and longing for a past that never existed brings about his own downfall. In Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller, Willy Loman nostalgically fantasizes about a bygone era, the pre-war days of glory and greatness, but as he attempts to recreate his presumed former prestige in a post-war world, the fantasy unravels, with not only death and destruction in his dream’s widening, illusory wake, but the unraveling also presents itself in the recognition that Willy’s carefully crafted memories are works of fiction. Decades of literary research focus on Willy’s fascination and obsession with memory, nostalgia for a previous age that never measures up to his memory of it. But, there is a wider gap in the research when it comes to the woman’s role. Willy’s female counterpart, Linda Loman, manages to survive because she is rooted in reality. For Linda, time moves on and reality fuels her forward progress, while Willy remains irrevocably tied to a false, self-conceived past. Routinely focusing on Linda as permissive or assisting in prolonging Willy’s fantasies, as merely the long-suffering housewife motif that Willy proposes, only exacerbates the notion that women are superfluous to the stories of men. Linda’s attempts to awaken her fantasy laden husband fall on deaf ears, and they also fall on blind critics. As the author of his fictions, Willy veers further and further from the truth of his situation and his character, while Miller’s moral lessons assert their sway through Linda as the truth teller. Linda is Miller’s voice, reminding the readers that “attention must be paid” to both Willy’s delusions and Linda’s accuracy

Factores del clima organizacional y desempeño laboral de los colaboradores de la empresa Fropesa, 2024
No full textLa finalidad de este estudio ha sido investigar la relación existente entre la variable clima organizacional y la variable de desempeño laboral durante el año 2024 de los empleados de la organización Fropesa. Se ha adoptado un diseño cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal y con enfoque descriptivo-correlacional. Se han aplicado dos cuestionarios de 21 y 14 preguntas al personal de Fropesa, que constituyó la población total del estudio. Los hallazgos revelan correlación entre ambas variables (Chi cuadrado = 92.667 y p < 0.05), siendo la hipótesis nula rechazada.
En conclusión, ha existido una relación importante entre las variables estudiadas, debido a que un clima positivo, con los recursos entregados por la empresa y la autonomía dada, ha elevado el desempeño de las tareas realizadas; por otro lado, un clima con carencia, en la tecnología utilizada por la empresa, la falta de comunicación y la motivación, ha evidenciado que limita la productividad y el compromiso de los trabajadores. La comunicación ha sido el factor principal, que incide en un óptimo desempeño laboral cuando es efectiva, dado que facilita la buena coordinación entre compañeros de trabajo y fomenta un ambiente de confianza.
Se ha recomendado, establecer reuniones grupales, realizar talleres, implementar software de gestión, herramientas digitales, implementar sistema de recompensas, entre otros. Con estas medidas, los trabajadores no solo optimizaran su rendimiento, sino que se animarían a ir más allá de sus responsabilidades básicas. Así mismo, posicionaría a la empresa Fropesa como una empresa más competitiva y atractiva para su talento humano.The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the organizational climate variable and the job performance variable for Fropesa employees during the year 2024. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design with a descriptive-correlational approach was adopted. Two questionnaires, each consisting of 21 and 14 questions, were administered to Fropesa employees, who constituted the total study population. The findings revealed a correlation between both variables (Chi-square = 92.667 and p < 0.05), with the null hypothesis being rejected.
In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between the variables studied. A positive organizational climate, with the resources provided by the company and the autonomy granted, increased the performance of tasks performed. On the other hand, a climate lacking in the technology used by the company, a lack of communication, and a lack of motivation were shown to limit employee productivity and engagement. Communication has been the main factor, impacting optimal job performance when effective, as it facilitates good coordination among coworkers and fosters an environment of trust.
It has been recommended to establish group meetings, hold workshops, implement management software, digital tools, and implement reward systems, among others. With these measures, employees will not only optimize their performance but will also be encouraged to go beyond their basic responsibilities. This will also position Fropesa as a more competitive and attractive company for its human talent
Willy Corrêa de Oliveira: por um ouvir materialista histórico
No full textEste trabalho busca compreender o pensamento sobre a Linguagem Musical do compositor Willy Corrêa de Oliveira a partir de transcrições das aulas do curso Linguagem e Estruturação Musicais, ministrado por ele no Departamento de Música da Escola de Comunicações e Artes (ECA) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). O autor desta dissertação parte de trechos de aulas para encontrar relações desse pensamento com a Filosofia Marxista e com diversas teorias e metodologias que resultam em uma maneira de entender a idéia por trás das notas, característica de suas análises. O materialismo-dialético é compreendido no pensamento de Willy a partir da prática e de uma consciência histórica marxista. Esses também seriam os pontos de ligação entre a teoria marxista e outras, como a fenomenologia, a hermenêutica e a semiótica, no caso. As transcrições encontram-se integrais nos Anexos. Assim, o pensamento musical de um compositor brasileiro contemporâneo torna-se disponível e acessível para os que buscam trilhar os mesmos caminhos.This work aims to understand the musical thought of composer Willy Corrêa de Oliveira from transcriptions of a course named Musical Language and Structure taught by him at Music Department of Arts and Communication School of University of São Paulo. Author works from takes of registered classes to relate this thought to Marxist Philosophy and other theories and methodologies resulting in a way of understanding the idea behind the notes, which is one of its characterizes. Dialectic-materialism is understood in Willy's thought from practice and a Marxistconscience of History. These would be the basis to join Marxist theory to others, like Phenomenology, Hermeneutics and Semiotics, in this case. All transcriptions are part of this work. Thus, musical thought of a Brazilian contemporary composer is accessible for those who go by the same track
