    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2015.É a partir do abandono dos deuses em Cartas a Posêidon (2012), do escritor Cees Nooteboom, que a presente dissertação busca refletir sobre a criação de uma imagem poética do estatuto do homem nos dias atuais, cujo enfoque reside nas inúmeras descontinuidades e rupturas presentes no texto de escritor neerlandês. Através da Carta sobre o humanismo, de Martin Heidegger, e Regras para o parque humano, de Peter Sloterdijk, o trabalho propõe uma breve discussão sobre a epístola enquanto ferramenta humanista e, no caso de Nooteboom, a sua inabilidade em fazer amigos, resultado da disrupção do dialogismo pelo insistente silêncio divino. Utilizando-se do conceito de Stimmung e os estudos de Leo Spitzer e Hans Gumbrecht sobre o tema, a dissertação procura observar a criação de determinadas atmosferas ao longo do texto, cuja essência nega o significado original do termo Stimmung enquanto harmonia. Por intermédio do pensamento de Jean-Luc Nancy acerca do mito e a sua base atual como negação de sua fundação original, o trabalho busca pensar a inoperância da carta como espaço de proliferação da narrativa. Valendo-se de A Comunidade Inconfessável, de Maurice Blanchot, a formação da comunidade tem como base a sua própria ausência em um movimento contínuo aqui proposto como (des)solução. Por fim, através da contribuição de Susan Sontag em ?Estética do silêncio?, a dissertação propõe uma comparação dos fragmentos de Nooteboom com a pintura neerlandesa do século XVII, o Stilleven, e a sua natureza silente e imóvel que em Nooteboom culminam em tremor, ruído.Abstract : It is from the abandonment of the gods in Letters to Poseidon (2012), of the writer Cees Nooteboom, that this study tries to reflect on the creation of a poetic image of the status of man nowadays whose focus lies in the many discontinuities and breaks in the text the Dutch author. By Letter on Humanism, from Martin Heidegger, and Rules for the human zoo, by Peter Sloterdijk, the work proposes a brief discussion of the epistle as humanistic tool and, in the case of Nooteboom, its inability to make friends as a result of disruption of dialogism by the insistent divine silence. Using the concept of Stimmung and studies of Leo Spitzer and Hans Gumbrecht on the subject, the dissertation tries to observe the creation of specific atmospheres throughout the text, whose essence denies the original meaning of the term Stimmung as harmony. Through the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy about the myth and its current base as denial of its original foundation, the work aims to rethink the ineffectiveness of communication as the narrative space proliferation and the formation of a community, drawing on The Unavowable Community, from Maurice Blanchot, whose base lies in its very absence, in continuous motion proposed here as (dis)solution. Finally, through the contribution of Susan Sontag in "Aesthetics of Silence", the study proposes a comparison of Nooteboom fragments with the Dutch painting of the seventeenth century, Stilleven, and its silent and motionless nature that in Nooteboom culminates into tremor, noise

    Innovation and inter-firm linkages: new implications for policy

    No full text
    This article discusses the implications for competition, innovation and learning of different forms of inter-firm linkage, ways to govern them, different 'generic systems' of innovation, and government policy. It employs a transformed theory of transactions that can deal with innovation and learning, and brings in trust next to opportunism [Nooteboom, B., 1996a. Trust, opportunism and governance: a process and control model. Organization Studies 17 (6) 985-1010; Nooteboom, B., 1996b. Towards a Learning Based Model of Transactions. In: Groenewegen, J. (Ed.), TCE and Beyond. Kluwer, Deventer, pp. 327-349; Nooteboom, B., 1999a. Inter-firm alliances: Analysis and design. Routledge, London.]. While trust has its limits and should not be blind, it can lower transaction costs. For learning and innovation, it takes the resource/competence perspective, supported by a theory of knowledge developed in earlier publications. According to this theory people perceive, interpret and evaluate the world according to cognitive categories that have developed in interaction with the physical and social environment. As a result people will perceive, understand and evaluate differently to the extent that they have developed in different environments without interaction [Nooteboom, B., 1992,. Towards a dynamic theory of transactions. Journal of Evolutionary Economics 2, 281-299; Nooteboom, 1999a.]. This theory yields the notion of 'external economy of cognitive scope': people and firms need outside sources of cognition and competence to complement their own. That is the fundamental reason why inter-firm Linkages are important, especially for innovation. In order to produce high added value and novelty, by utilizing the opportunities of complementary competencies, firms need to make relation-specific investments which creates risks of 'hold-up' and 'spill-over'. Building on earlier work, the article identifies different instruments for the control of those risks [Nooteboom, 1996a; Nooteboom, 1996b; Nooteboom, et al., 1997. Effects of trust and governance on relational risk. Academy of Management Journal 40 (2) 308-338; Nooteboom, 1999a.]. It identifies two 'generic' kinds of innovation systems, in terms of the mix of instruments for relational governance, and discusses their merits and flaws with respect to quality of products, diffusion, incremental and radical innovation. One is close to practices in continental Europe and Japan. Another is close to Anglo-American practice. There is a certain tendency for the first to gravitate to the second. The article warns about the dangers involved, and explores a possible 'third way'. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved

    Methodological Interactionism: Theory and Application to the Firm and to the Building of Trust

    No full text
    Recent insights from the ‘embodied cognition’ perspective in cognitive science, supported by neural research, provide a basis for a ‘methodological interactionism’ that transcends both the methodological individualism of economics and the methodological collectivism of (some) sociology, and is consistent with insights from social psychology. It connects with a Mengerian exchange perspective and Hayekian view of dispersed knowledge from Austrian economics. It provides a basis for a new, unified social science that integrates elements from economics, sociology, social psychology and cognitive science. This paper discusses the roots of this perspective, in theory of cognition and meaning, and illustrates its application in a summary of a social-cognitive theory of the firm and an analysis of processes by which trust is built up and broken down.methodology;philosophy of economics;theory of the firm;trust
