Creativity and knowledge economies
No full text[Extract] There are two ideas of culture. One is romantic (Murphy & Roberts, 2004). Culture in the romantic sense is a function of nations. Nations are defined by territory, language and social norms. Nations possess incommensurable characteristics-different ways of doing things and creating things, and different mindsets, that provide advantages in global economic and social competition. In particular the 'genius' of a nation produces innovation. A second, and older, idea equates culture with the civilization of cities. This idea precedes the modern romantic idea of nationhood. Culture as a function of the civilization of cities is less the expression of incommensurable qualities and habits and more the consequence of the universals of shape, pattern and form
Testimony of Peter Murphy on reestablishing a reservation for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
Full text linkTestimony of Peter Murphy, President and Chief Executive of the Murphy Lumber Company, in support of reestablishing a reservation for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde includes over 30 tribes from Oregon, California, and Washington. In the early 1850s, the United States forced these tribes off their lands, eventually establishing the Grand Ronde Reservation in Oregon in 1857. In 1954, Congress passed the Western Oregon Indian Termination Act, which ended federal recognition of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Beginning in the 1970s, tribal leaders began working to restore the tribe's federal status, lobbying Congress to first pass the Grand Ronde Restoration Act in 1983, which restored federal recognition, then the Grand Ronde Reservation Act in 1988, which restored a small part of the reservation. On August 10th, 1987, Representative Les AuCoin scheduled a local hearing to discuss the plan to reestablish a reservation. The hearing included a pro-reservation panel of tribal leaders and an anti-reservation panel of local lumber mills. Representative AuCoin also invited members of several federal agencies, including the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to answer legal questions about the process. Peter Murphy is significant as the only member of the timber industry to testify in support of the reservation. This document is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. Digital objects PUA_MS147_73 through PUA_MS147_77 and PUA_MS147_128 through PUA_MS147_129 represent a selection of opinions offered at the August 10th hearing

Collaboration and interconnectivity: Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and higher education institutions in Nottingham
No full textThis paper will describe the developing relationship between Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and the two Higher Education Institutions in Nottingham. It will chronicle how a very traditional relationship has been transformed, initially by a simple consultancy project, into a much closer working relationship characterised by a much richer variety of collaborative projects. It demonstrates the potential mutual benefits that greater trust and reciprocity between the institutions can bring to both academia and to practice and the impact it has already had on curriculum development, teaching and learning in Nottingham
Portal power and thalassic imagination
No full text[Extract] Hierarchies, networks, and navigations are fundamental social-historical structures. Consider for a moment this typology as it applies to the question of governance. Historically, the most persistent model of governance has been hierarchy. Even today - when hierarchy is rhetorically downplayed in the name of social equality - it remains the most common type of rule. It appears in many guises. Most people find their lives caught up in one or other familial, patrimonial, bureaucratic, clerical, corporate, or party hierarchy
The world circumference
No full text[Extract] Most states in human history have been patrimonies or have possessed significant patrimonial features. Today patrimony, or more precisely neo-patrimony, is still the most common state form to be found across the world. Under the surface of modernity lurks a deep and abiding archaism. Patrimonial states took shape sometime in the fourth millennium BCE, and attained a mature form with the Sumerians, Hittites, and Egyptians. These states replaced technological adaptation to nature - prized by the first human societies, the nomad societies - with the social organization of labor. Whereas peripatetic nomad societies advanced through technological metabolism with nature, patrimonial states advanced by escalating the range and types of face-to-face social relationships. This was far from a happy condition. They deployed techniques of slavery, status hierarchy, serfdom, patron-client relations, and command-and-obedience relations to enforce or compel sedentary life. The state in effect asserted ownership over human beings. Even while patrimonial states produced the first urban communities, their command of face-to-face social structures proved more often than not to be sadistic, punitive, and terrifying. Cruelty was the norm of these thick social relationships
