Recent innovations in the woolen and worsted industry of the United States
No full textThesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University.This is an essay about entrepreneurial behavior in the woolen and worsted industry, which is presently in an important period of transition. For many years prior to World War II the industry lay dormant, generating no major fundamental technological or other changes. A significant post-war cluster of innovations materialized, however, which has fomented a revolution, a novel state of affairs for the traditionally conservative industry. In the study of these innovations the approach of J.A. Schumpeter and W.R. Maclaurin has been employed. These men have emphasized the role of innovation in a dynamic economy.
Descriptive material has been written, principally in technical publications, concerning mechanical, chemical, corporate, and locational changes. In areas of this study which are concerned with such description the author has drawn heavily from these sources, providing appropriate documentation. These written sources have been supplemented by the writer's personal observations of the subject matter.
The most significant portion of the work concerns behavior of entrepreneurs. Although some case studies have been made in other industries, it is the belief of the author that this type of research is unique in the woolen and worsted industry. Because of the lack of documentary material concerning entrepreneurial behavior, most of the information has been derived from personal interviews. In every case the principals and their close associates were interviewed. All findings were cross-checked in discussion with other personnel of the concern, few of whom have been given proper documentary credit. It is believed that the case histories present a fair and accurate picture and that the conclusions drawn from these are valid.
We have thus analyzed the far-reaching changes in the industry since World War II. There have been more important changes during this period than at any time since the invention of the automatic loom and (excluding this one invention) since the original development of the industry on a factory basis.

O Max Weber de Leo Strauss
No full textMax Weber é um autor central para Leo Strauss. Importa a Strauss compreender o sentido da ciência social elaborada por Weber, já que tal ciência social rejeitaria o direito natural. Essa rejeição é baseada no historicismo e na distinção entre fatos e valores. Isso levaria ao niilismo como consequência necessária da obra weberiana. Strauss percebe aqui uma tese fundamental: a luta permanente entre valores últimos. Strauss toma essa tese como uma posição filosófica, o que o leva a tratar Weber como um filósofo. Esse é o Max Weber de Leo Strauss. Iremos analisar as passagens dos textos de Strauss referentes a essa questão e mostrar como essa figura de um Weber filósofo, quando utilizada para o entendimento da ciência social weberiana, leva a uma distorção de seu pensamento.

The Max Weber of Leo Strauss
Abstract: Max Weber is a central author for Leo Strauss. It is important for Strauss to understand the meaning of the social science elaborated by Weber, since such social science would reject natural law. This rejection is based on historicism and the distinction between facts and values. This would lead to nihilism as a necessary consequence of Weber\u27s work. Strauss perceives here a fundamental thesis the permanent struggle between ultimate values. Strauss takes this thesis as a philosophical position, which leads him to treat Weber as a philosopher. This is the Max Weber of Leo Strauss. We will analyze the passages of Strauss\u27 texts referring to this question and show how this figure of a philosopher Weber, when used for the understanding of Weberian social science, leads to a distortion of his thought.

Entre Pollock e Benjamin: teoria e práxis no “Estado autoritário” de Horkheimer
No full textThe article states the following theses about Max Horkheimer’s essay “The Authoritarian State”: a) that there is in this text a particular tension, which is very difficult to solve, between a pessimistic and an optimistic stances from its author, and that this tension refers to a tense way of understanding the separation of theory and praxis; b) that these tensions could be better understood in the light of the horkheimerian maxim of “theoretical pessimism” and “practical optimism” and, parallely, of the contextual and in a certain sense contradictory influences of Friedrich Pollock and Walter Benjamin. The article tries then to explore those influences in order to better understand how the poles of those tensions could find a dialectical articulation in Horkheimer at thar singular historical moment.O artigo sustenta as seguintes teses interpretativas acercado ensaio “Estado autoritário”, de Max Horkheimer: a) que há, nestetexto, uma particular tensão, de difícil resolução, entre uma posturapessimista e uma otimista por parte do autor, que remonta a um modotenso de compreender a separação entre teoria e práxis; b) que essastensões podem ser melhor compreendidas à luz da máxima horkheimerianado “pessimismo teórico” e do “otimismo prático” e também,paralelamente, às influências contextuais e, em certo sentido, contraditórias,de Friedrich Pollock e Walter Benjamin. Assim, busca-se exploraressas influências a fim de melhor compreender como os pólosdaquelas tensões puderam encontrar uma articulação dialética emHorkheimer naquele singular momento histórico
The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature

Building the bigger we for climate justice
No full textPresented at the Environmental justice in the Anthropocene symposium held on April 24-25, 2017 at the Lory Student Center, Colorado State University, Fort Collins Colorado. This symposium aims to bring together academics (faculty and graduate students), independent researchers, community and movement activists, and regulatory and policy practitioners from across disciplines, research areas, perspectives, and different countries. Our overarching goal is to build on several decades of EJ research and practice to address the seemingly intractable environmental and ecological problems of this unfolding era. How can we explore EJ amongst humans and between nature and humans, within and across generations, in an age when humans dominate the landscape? How can we better understand collective human dominance without obscuring continuing power differentials and inequities within and between human societies? What institutional and governance innovations can we adopt to address existing challenges and to promote just transitions and futures?Includes bibliographical references
Rätten och den sociosymboliska sömnen - reflektioner om det industriella folkmordets eftereffekter
No full textCombining cultural theory with the philosophy of law, this essay argues that the advent of state-managed, industrial genocide has brought about a crisis of confidence in the institutions of modern society. A wave of incrimination emanates from the holocaust, which primarily strikes against the institutions of law, but also affects the credibility of sociosymbolic mandate as such. Drawing on the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben, the author proposes that the dynamics of this crisis may be understood in epistemological terms through the notion of “sociosymbolic sleep” – a psycho-cultural barrier between incompatible registers of knowledge, that the facts of industrial genocide threatens to shatter
