Creëert digitalisering publieke waarde?:Kansen en verschillen bij gemeenten
No full textSteeds meer gemeenten gebruiken digitale middelen om het contact met de burger online te vergemakkelijken. Toch gaat deze ontwikkeling niet bij iedere gemeente even snel. Dit blijkt bijvoorbeeld uit het gegeven dat grotere gemeenten meer mogelijkheden lijken te hebben om te investeren en kenniscapaciteit te ontwikkelen. Dit artikel bespreekt, op basis van het promotieonderzoek van Faber, enkele recente ontwikkelingen in het denken over digitalisering binnen de publieke secto
Writing and the rights of reality: usurpation and potentiality in Derrida, Plato, Nietzsche, and Beckett
Full text linkThe thesis critically evaluates Jacques Derrida's conferral of the rights of reality on writing, focussing on his theory of an arche-text in light of the speculative nature of this theory. The theory is initially considered in the context of Derrida's elucidation of the usurpatory status of writing within the Platonic and Nietzschean texts. This consideration reveals an admission of writing's usurpatory status by both writers while at the same time demonstrating their awareness of the intrinsically speculative nature of this view, the significance of writing lying in its ability to exteriorise the radically indeterminate status of consciousness m relation to reality rather than its ability to displace consciousness or reality The analyses, therefore, not only bring the Derridean hypothesis of a repressive or phonocentric metaphysical episteme into question but also exhibit the historical and philosophical role of potentiality in relation to writing, writing's ultimate significance lying in its capacity to exteriorise our existence as a mode of potentiality. Accordingly, in the second half of the thesis the Derridean theory of writing is countered with a specifically Aristotelian theory of the text as it is exhibited in the prose of Samuel Beckett, an author whose significance lies in his close alignment with Derridean theory within contemporary criticism. It is demonstrated that this identification has obviated an awareness of the significance of potentiality within the Beckettian text, his work consequently being appraised in the previously neglected context of Aristotelian metaphysics

Who has not heard of Dracula, gothic classic of vampire lore par excellence? What about The Mystery of the Sea? The latter book by the same author received far less acclaim. To be sure, books were not this Irish author’s only stock in trade. By the time Bram Stoker published his famous work he was already nearing the end of a long mostly unrelated career in theater promotion and management which had brought him in contact with English as well as American high society. As a writer, his experience also included theater reviews for a Dublin newspaper. Arguably, all these aspects, and much else besides, find their way somehow into the novels; but that is not our concern here
Bram Stoker: history, psychoanalysis, and the Gothic
No full textBram Stoker is best remembered today as the author of Dracula. However, this Dublin-born Anglo-Irishman combined a writing career which produced eleven novels and a wealth of short stories, biography and journalism, with a full-time occupation as a theatre manager and society figure in fin de siecle London.
This volume testifies to the breadth and diversity of Stoker's writings and interests, and reassesses the significant contribution which the author made to the Gothic tradition. Its Introduction analyses the reasons behind Stoker's exclusion from the literary canon through an exploration of the changes in critical and cultural studies in the late twentieth century. The twelve critical essays which follow, each written by an acknowledged expert in the field, demonstrate a variety of critical approaches to Stoker and to the ideas and problems presented by his writings before and after Dracula

The impact of strategy on supply chain and forecasting
No full textIn this provocative article, Bram Desmet explores how a company's market strategy affects its supply chain targets and forecasting methodology. The author introduces the concept of the supply chain triangle to illustrate the balancing act a company must perform to achieve the cost, service, and inventory mix that maximizes its return on capital employed. He then shows how the company's strategic choice, be it operational excellence, product leadership, or customer intimacy, influences the position it seeks on the supply chain triangle and, in particular, its inventory target
