    Das „Glossar zum Wissensmanagement im Bevölkerungsschutz“ von Norf, Tiller und Fekete (2019) stellt die wesentlichen Begriffe und Konzepte zu Wissensmanagement und seiner Bedeutung für den Bevölkerungsschutz vor. Das Glossar ist ein Ergebnis des Forschungsprojektes WAKE (https://wake-project.eu/), das Lösungsansätze für den bestmöglichen Umgang mit Wissen im Bevölkerungsschutz entwickelt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf der Aufarbeitung der Flüchtlingssituation 2015/2016. Es geht um die Frage, wie das darin erworbene Wissen und die dabei gemachten Erfahrungen strukturiert gesammelt, gesichert, aufgearbeitet und für spätere Szenarien genutzt werden können. Das Glossar kann und soll kein Ratgeber für die praktische Einführung von Wissensmanagement in Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgabe (BOS) sein. Denn für die Einführung eines Wissensmanagements kann es kein Patentrezept geben. Es muss in jedem einzelnen Fall eine individuell zugeschnittene, praktische Wissensmanagementlösung erarbeitet werden. Allerdings entwickelt das WAKE-Projekt, aufbauend auf dem Glossar, Empfehlungen zur Einführung oder Verbesserung eines Wissensmanagements im Organisationsalltag und in Einsatzsituationen im Bevölkerungsschutz

    El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, partiendo del texto literario y contrastándolo con el estudio histórico, los diferentes tipos de mujer esbozados por Elena Fortún en Celia en la revolución para poder observar así el contraste dado entre los propios de la propaganda de guerra y el que actúa ahora como protagonista, ofrecido desde un retrato de la estricta realidad del conflicto. Para ello, se parte del análisis del contexto, en lo que a mujer y feminismo se refiere, así como de la propia vida de la autora, para comprender de dónde surge el pensamiento, actitud y circunstancias de la población femenina del momento que son recogidos en la novela y la relevancia de esta por su naturaleza realista, casi crónica, como forma de reivindicación de un peculiar modelo de mujer.The main aim of this paper is to examine the different types/models of women outlined in Elena Fortún's Celia en la revolución from a literary and historical perspectives. The study of the literary text alongside its historical reality reveals the contrast between the type of women portrayed in war propaganda and that portrayed in the novel. Hence, the point of departure of this paper is the analysis of the historical-literary context, which brings together the Spanish civil war, the life of the author and the feminism in that period. This contextual analysis, together with the literary analysis, provide an understanding of the roots of the feminist thought, attitudes and circumstances that are represented in the text. Finally, this paper emphasizes the relevance of this literary piece due to its realism, almost a form of chronicle, and vindicative nature, since it reflects a model of women different from the political imageries and ideologies of its time

    The purpose of this thesis is to call the attention of a generation too prone to neglect names that have failed to reach fame to Celia Thaxter, an author who has recorded a little section of New England for others to admire. Celia Thaxter also exemplifies the fact that authorship need not incapacitate a woman for domestic life, for she was a devoted wife and a loving mother, as well as a successful author

    Elena Fortún (1885-1952) and Celia

    No full text
    This article pairs an author and the character to which she devoted most of her literary life. Additionally, the title directly refers to the theme that joins Fortún’s subjectivity with Celia Gálvez’s, the existence of a writer’s self in them both. There are similarities and differences between that process of characterisation or subjectivisation Encarnación Aragoneses Urquijo (1885- 1952) went through in order to become the famous writer Elena Fortún and the other process of characterisation that occupied her, a process of creating a narrative of a frustrated writing self, that of Celia. As a female writer who achieves successful authorial recognition late in life through a character that explores the contradictions and paradoxes the arrival of this late subjectivity caused in the author, Elena Fortún illuminates the implications of the intellectual problematisation of “la mujer nueva” during the first third of the last century

    A critical review of four novels by Celia Brayfield considering their production and impact in the context of contemporary literature

    No full text
    This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University London.This critical review of four novels by Celia Brayfield, Getting Home, Mister Fabulous And Friends, Heartswap and Wild Weekend, outlines the themes that give the works defining coherence, which are a feminist evaluation of gender roles and an exploration of the relationship between space or place in millennial Britain. The author contextualises her novels in considering literary representations of the suburb in literature and use of the device of gender reversal in fiction. The review demonstrates that the novels make a significant and coherent contribution to knowledge as resonant and well-received creative works and provides an assessment of their international and national impact. In discussing the inspiration and influences of her work, her choices in characterisation, narrative and dramatised argument, and in particular her decision to create responses to two classic texts using the device of gender reversal, the author justifies the overarching approach and methodologies used for these novels
