BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Introduction to the special issue ‘Towards a Multi-Level Understanding of Agile in Government: Macro, Meso and Micro Perspectives’
Full text linkAs public organizations increasingly adopt agile practices, understanding their opportunities, challenges, and transformative potentials is important. This article introduces the special issue on ‘The Future of Agile in Public Service Organizations: Macro, Meso and Micro Perspectives’ and explores the evolving landscape of agile in public service, drawing from diverse scholarly perspectives. To that end, we discuss various definitions of agile in the context of government and outline the potential benefits and drawbacks of the concept. We then delve into the macro-level characteristics and impacts of agile on institutions and society, its meso-level implications regarding organizational structures, processes, and outcomes, and micro-level determinants and effects on managers, employees, and teams. Referring to theoretical streams building the basis for agile on these different analytical levels, we build a conceptual framework of multi-level agile government. We introduce the six research studies and a book review included in this special issue and position them within this framework to highlight their contributions to understanding agile at each of the three levels

[Rezension zu:] Intermédialités. Hg. Caroline Fischer. Nîmes: Lucies éditions, 2015
No full textIn ihrer Einleitung geht Caroline Fischer zunächst auf den Begriff 'Intermedia' ein, der auf den Fluxuskünstler Dick Higgins zurückgehe und vor allem das Aufbrechen klassischer künstlerischer Ausdrucksmedien zugunsten neuer artistischer Erfahrungen und Gestaltungsräume bezeichne, die sich etwa schon in Duchamps 'ready-mades' anzeige. Zugleich sei Higgins' Begriff eine Entlehnung des britischen Romantikers T. S. Coleridge, wodurch ein spätestens seit der Romantik merklicher Wunsch nach Überschreitung künstlerisch-medialer Grenzen kenntlich werde. Zusammen mit dem nur wenig später durch Kristeva begründeten und von Genette systematisch ausgearbeiteten Begriff der Intertextualität seien somit die Grundlagen für den Begriff Intermedialität geschaffen, dessen Ursprung Fischer in einem Aufsatz des deutschen Slavisten Aage A. Hansen- Löve von 1983 verortet. Der Begriff der Intermedialität antworte damit auf die Notwendigkeit, neuen Medien und neuen Formen künstlerischer Gestaltung (z. B. happening) theoretisch gerecht zu werden. Angesichts eines inflationären und definitorisch oftmals unscharfen Gebrauchs von "Intermedialität" sollen die neun versammelten Beiträge eine präzisierende Arbeit am Begriff leisten und für künftige Arbeiten handhabbare Analysewerkzeuge bereitstellen
L'Arétin en France
No full textCaroline Fischer : Aretino in France.
During his lifetime, Pietro Aretino (1492-1556) was a celebrity who was received by François I and spoken of as a famous writer by Montaigne. Major figures of 17th-century literature such as Corneille, Gilbert, Molière and La Fontaine drew inspiration from his life and works. In the 18th Century his name was synonymous with erotic and satirical literature. Aretino' s catalogue of positions was legendary, and his life was much better known than his works, which were hardly published after 1660. A that moment, the erotic novel appeared on the French scene with L'École des filles, L'Académie des dames and, shortly after, Vénus dans le cloître (ca 1680). All three novels were clearly influenced by Aretino' s Ragionamenti (dialogues of courtisans) and in turn left their imprint on 18th-century erotic literature. Even when Aretino' s influence was only evident to observant eyes, he was rightfully considered as a pornographer par excellence.Fischer Caroline. L'Arétin en France.
