The language of C.K. Norwid
No full textW niniejszym artykule ukazano różnice między polszczyzną obecną a współczesną C.K. Norwidowi. Autorka skupiła się na rozbieżnościach w zakresie leksyki i gramatyki, tj. fonetyki i fleksji. Materiał źródłowy stanowią utwory pochodzące z tomu Wiersze wybrane w opracowaniu M. Inglota z 1991 roku. Część słownictwa, którym posługiwał się C. Norwid, w dzisiejszych słownikach polszczyzny ogólnej opatrzona jest kwalifikatorami dawne czy przestarzałe. Analiza języka interesujących tekstów wykazuje dużo różnic z obecną polszczyzną także w zakresie fonetyki i fleksji. Stosowane formy są często typowe nie tylko dla XIX, ale także dla XVII czy XVIII wieku.The aim of this article was to present the differences between the present day Polish language and the one used by C.K. Norwid. The author highlighted lexical and grammatical discrepancies, focusing on phonetics and inflection in particular. The source materials were the poems included in the Wiersze wybrane poetry volume, compiled by M. Inglot in 1991. A part of the vocabulary used by Norwid is classified as obsolete or out of date in contemporary dictionaries. Language analysis of the relevant excerpts reveals plenty of differences when confronted with the present day language, also with regards to phonetics and inflection. The forms applied by the poet are typical of the XIXth, as well as XVIIth and XVIIIth century

New view of strategy: An interview with C.K. Prahalad
No full text'Strategic intent', 'core competence' and 'strategy as stretch and leverage', are all management concepts that have become associated with C.K. Prahalad and his frequent co-author, Gary Hamel, most often in the pages of the Harvard Business Review, but also in other journals and books. These ideas now form the basis of much new thinking about competitiveness by strategic managers. With the publication in 1994 of Competing for the Future, C.K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel create a new view of strategy in one overall statement developing earlier HBR concepts like foresight, strategic architecture, global pre-emption and 'the need to forget'. Then, with new ideas like opportunity space, opportunity horizon, corporate challenge, and expeditionary marketing, the authors present a new language system to capture these ideas. Interviewed in Michigan by EMJ's editor, Paul Stonham, C.K. Prahalad points first that Competing for the Future is about 'democratizing' strategy -- how to engage a large number of people in creating a strategic direction, and that managers are now receptive to exploring ways of revitalizing companies. Continuing of the corporation, profitable growth, and ability to change, are all essential criteria for competitiveness. Wealth creation involves leveraging resources and creating new investment opportunities all the time. Shareholders and investors recognize this. C.K. Prahalad has views on the cultural springs of success, on innate competitive advantage, and on acquisitions as one of a number of alternative modes to acquire competence. He declines to be drawn into a close comparison of large and small companies, but prefers to focus on entrepreneurship and innovation. He points to the decreasing unilateral role of governments in international trade and finance, and to the need for innovative companies to search the global market for managerial talent. Business schools still produce functionally-biased managers; they should concentrate in future on producing at least four skills in their potential managers: teamwork, resolution of complex conflicts, languages, and operationalizing concepts. Finally, hinting in the interview of the next phase of his work, C.K. Prahalad does not lessen the anticipation of his readers.

Journalistiek oriëntalisme. C.K. Elout en de transformatie van de koloniale verslaggeving in Nederland 1920–1930
Full text linkIn the interwar period, the leading Dutch journalist C.K. Elout conducted two research trips to the Dutch East Indies for the newspaper Algemeen Handelsblad. This article studies Elout’s letters from his travels in the context of the growing journalistic interest in the Netherlands in colonial matters in the 1920s. The reason for this interest was the increase in information transferred between the Netherlands and South-east Asia as a result of new technologies and rising tensions in the Indies due to the emergence of the anticolonial movement. Through his letters, Elout intended to stimulate colonial reporting in the Netherlands, with the goal of strengthening overseas ties. Therefore, this corpus of texts can be seen as a form of journalistic orientalism in which the author extensively reflects on the differences between the West and the East. This article focuses on these reflections and demonstrates how they influenced Elout’s later commentary on the news from the Dutch East Indies
C.K. McClatchy and Upton Sinclair's EPIC campaign: The Power of the Press in 1934 California
No full textThe media's powerful role in the political process is taken for granted in the 1990s. The California gubernatorial election of 1934, pitting the Socialistturned-Democrat author Upton Sinclair against the RepublicanFrank Merriam and Progressive Raymond Haight, has been frequently suggested by historians to be the forerunner of modern political races influenced so heavily by the mass media. This study focuses on the techniques of the press to subtly and not so subtly subject the political process to the influence of its powerful editors, here represented by C.K. McClatchy of the Sacramento, Fresno, and Modesto Bees.McClatchy's papers provide an interesting control group, in that he appears to have been the only major editor in the state to back the third party candidate, Raymond Haight. Accordingly, in the areas where the Bee was circulated, Haight received his only strong showings and even was victorious in some counties
Jealousies: Mansfield in Mansfield, and the poetry of C.K. Stead
No full textThis paper will consider the character of Katherine Mansfield as portrayed in the novel Mansfield by C.K. Stead (2004), together with the influence of Mansfield on Stead’s poetry. In 1972, Stead was the third recipient of the Katherine Mansfield Memorial Fellowship at Menton, which enabled him to spend eight months in the South of France, working at the Villa Isola Bella, once the home of Katherine Mansfield. During this visit, Stead took the opportunity of re-reading all the Mansfield primary texts published at that time, which led directly to the publication some years later of his Letters and Journals of Katherine Mansfield: A Selection (1977). This immersion in ‘all things Mansfield’ initiated Stead’s fascination with the author, which remains undiminished.
Stead set his novel Mansfield during three years from 1915-1918, a fascinating period in Mansfield’s life when she found her true voice as an author, was still in “reasonably good health”, and which was, as he points out, “the time of her most intense engagement with an extraordinary cast of characters on the English literary scene”. It was also the period of the Great War, which would profoundly affect and influence the lives of Mansfield and her contemporaries. Although technically a work of fiction, since imagination and guess work both, inevitably, play a part, nevertheless Stead’s comprehensive knowledge of Mansfield’s life and literary output, together with his uncanny ability to recreate his characters’ points of view, results in a fascinating novel which has a ring of ‘truth’ about it. The paper will also consider various poems by Stead, including ‘Jealousy 1’ and ‘Jealousy 2’, based on episodes in Mansfield’s life, together with a new poem ‘Isola Bella’, which Stead has written especially for this conferenc
