Toshihiro Hamano : recent work
No full textThis output introduces Hamano, the Ryu Association of Contemporary Art, and co-researcher Oshima, who have their European base at Northumbria. The group use CARcentre to explore the potential of Japanese-European educational dialogue. The Ryu Arts Group oppose dualist approaches to tradition and modernity. Their research aims to find a viable contemporary alternative to the profession of an artist as envisioned in Western art education. Hamano’s new work demonstrates a complex Zen idea in which skilful conformity produces spontaneity and unconventionality. In a preparatory exhibition (curated by Oshima for Bailiffgate Gallery, Alnwick [2004]) this developmental priority was contrasted to the Western assumption that creative individuality comes before group identity. The Bailiffgate project explored the opposite case (that the originality of the artist is born from the creative capacity of cultural ‘groupness’) in collaboration with the principal members of the Stuckist movement. ‘Toshihiro Hamano: Recent work’ was a solo exhibition developed by Oshima (CARcentre doctoral researcher) for the Paris headquarters of UNESCO. It featured Hamano’s current activities as a painter and sculptor and demonstrated alternative, Eastern approaches to artistic expression. The research activity linked to this output began as a critical response to treatments of artistic creativity in the 10th Workshop on Managerial and Organisational Cognition, ESSEC Business School, Cergy Pontoise, France (2003) at which Oshima gave a paper. The material now forms the central part of Oshima’s doctoral project entitled: ‘Artists’ Groups in Japan and the UK and their impact on the creative individual.’ Dye is the principal supervisor
Zen : Toshihiro Hamano
No full textThis output was organised as part of the Japan 2001 festival, a celebration of the culture and lifestyle of Japan, involving events across the UK between May 2001 and March 2002. The festival was a joint venture by the Japanese and British Ministries of Culture. The chairman of the festival, Sir Peter Parker, personally invited Hamano to participate and a range of new works by the artist (prints, paintings, calligraphic works, performance pieces and sculptures) were curated by the Ryu, as a solo touring show. The resulting project, ‘Zen: Toshihiro Hamano’ was an example of the Ryu’s work in fostering links between Japan and the UK. Parker’s text, written for the catalogue documenting the exhibition, notes the facilitation of study and professional opportunities undertaken by the Ryu Association at Northumbria. The reseach for this project was undertaken by Nagai and Onishi, who were all based at Northumbria at the time. Since 2002, Oshima has been the lead-artist for the Ryu in the UK and this output represented the background for her paper at the Third International Diversity Conference: Cultural Diversity in a globalizing World (February 2003) at the East-West Centre, University of Hawaii, Manoa, This conference was hosted by RMIT Globalism Institute in partnership with the Globalisation Research Centre at the University of Hawaii and Common Ground Conferences. Oshima’s paper described the Ryu’s cultural engagement with the NE region of England and their home province in the southwest of Japan. She then explored the role of regional cultures within the larger, global frame associated with the notion ‘East/West’ and the educational functions of fine art research at the Northumbria in relation to the role of artist’s groups within the social diversity of regional culture
Toshihiro Hamano : the beauty of Chugu-ji
No full textThe origin of this output was a large-scale commission from the Very Reverend Koson Hinonishi, Mother Superior of the Chugu-ji Temple, Nara, Japan. The first stage, involving two permanent murals (‘Sea of clouds and mountains in the distance’ and ‘Flying angels’) was completed during the 1990s. The works realised after 2001 were sliding doors (entitled: Beginning, A [Alpha] and Un [Omega]) and a series of temple screens (Bamboo Grass and Prayers: the illustrated life of Prince Shotoku). Chugu-ji Temple is a famous Temple in Nara, the ancient capital of Japan. Hamano’s commission is situated in a new annexe where his doors and screens surround the contemporary reconstruction of a medieval carving of the Buddha. Hamano’s preparatory and completed work for the Temple was exhibited at Wako Hall Gallery, Tokyo (2005). This output was curated by the gallery with the Ryu, and explored Hamano’s interest in traditional fusuma painting and his return to the traditional fusuma narrative on the life of Prince Shotoku (574-622). This Prince introduced Buddhism to Japan and created the islands’ first political constitution. Hamano’s recreation involves four screens depicting 70 scenes of the life and high deeds of Shotoku. The exhibition sought to maximize public access to the commissioned artworks before their dedication at Chugu-ji and the importance of the occasion was indicated by the presence of the Japanese Imperial family at the reception. During the commission, Hamano made two further paintings on the Prince Shotoku theme for the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The paintings were displayed in the VIP room of the Japanese pavilion during Expo 2005, Aichi, Japan. In a major publication on Hamano (published 2004), Ichirô Hariu, President of the Japanese Federation of Art Critics, outlined the Ryu history. The book also illustrates the Temple commission
Identity in the public sector. A complex journey between identity features, struggles and dimensions
No full textGrounded in the awareness that many public sector inefficiencies remain unsolved, Identity in the Public Sector presents a critical consideration of the interplay between public sector reforms and organizational changes across a variety of levels.
Framing this issue and its importance within organizational and management studies, Andrea Tomo considers how organizational change is translated and experienced at the individual level, exposing why public employees often resist such projects. Building upon related literature for a better understanding and management of complex organizational change initiatives in the public sector, Tomo provides a more integrated picture of individual identity, emphasising the influence of cultural and context-specific factors, as well as their importance in policy-making processes, particularly their potential for improving the effectiveness of public administration.
Offering insights for public management into a murky, often complex research area, Identity in the Public Sector provides a new theoretical and practical approach for the analysis and interpretation of the intersection between identity and public enterprises and services

Tax Information, Third Parties and GDPR: Legal Challenges and Hints from the Court of Justice
No full textThis paper aims at explaining why the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) might play a key role in building a more coherent legal framework intended to face the several legal challenges that are likely to emerge from recent measures adopted at European and national levels regarding the consistent involvement of private third parties in the direct taxation process. These measures, wished-for combat against tax fraud and facing the ‘permanent’ economic crisis, are aimed either to collect and exchange taxpayers’ data from new sources (i.e., at EU level Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC6, 7 and 8)) or to facilitate ‘tax just happening’ and pave the way for the implementation of a Tax Administration 3.0 model, as suggested by the OECD’s Forum on Tax Administration (FTA) (e.g., at national level the involvement of digital platforms as withholder or joint liable person). Currently, while the analysis of the involvement of digital platforms in the indirect taxation process is fast growing, less attention is devoted to the potentialities and risks deriving from their involvement as third parties in the direct taxation process. Therefore, starting from a recent judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (SS SIA, C-175/20) and the stimulating opinion raised by the Advocate General, the present paper contributes to open a debate to fill this literature gap on a topic that is proving crucial from both a scientific and societal perspectives
‘Angry accountants’: making sense of professional identity crisis on online communities
No full textThis study used netnography to explore accountants’ individual and collective conceptualization and perception of their identity in a context of de-professionalization. Drawing from Guo’s identity sense-making framework, the paper focuses on how Italian accountants within a so-called “community online” have tried to make sense of their professional identity crisis by sharing feelings and emotions about the unstable context surrounding their profession. The Italian context provides an interesting case of “institutionalized de-professionalization” affecting accountants’ identity, prestige and image. It is affected by the ongoing expansion of regulatory intervention, which is transforming the profession, and a “non-interventionist” professional body that does not protect its members. The paper contributes to the literature on accounting professionals experiencing identity crises and provides theoretical and practical implications, discussing the figure of the “bureaucrat accountant”, and also contributes to the growing use of netnography as a useful qualitative method to study identity
