Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 examines Paris as a center of international culture that attracted artists from Western and Eastern Europe Asia and the Americas during a period of burgeoning global immigration. Sixteen essays by a group of emerging and established international scholars - including several whose work has not been previously published in English - address the experiences of foreign exiles immigrants students and expatriates. They explore the formal and informal structures that permitted foreign artists to forge connections within and across national communities and in some cases fashion new transnational identities in the City of Light. Considering Paris from an innovative global perspective the book situates both important modern artists - such as Edvard Munch Sonia Delaunay-Terk Marc Chagall and Gino Severini - and lesser-known American Czech Italian Polish Welsh Russian Japanese Catalan and Hungarian painters sculptors writers dancers and illustrators within the larger trends of international mobility and cultural exchange. Broadly appealing to historians of modern art and history the essays in this volume characterize Paris as a thriving transnational arts community in which the interactions between diverse cultures peoples and traditions contributed to the development of a hybrid and multivalent modern art. | Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Careers and Talent ManagementA Critical Perspective

Careers and Talent ManagementA Critical Perspective

Careers and Talent Management challenges and deconstructs the notion of the "perfect career" in order to provide new perspectives on talent management and career creation. It argues that the skills that organizations typically look for as indicative of superstar performance are not necessarily those that lead to competitive advantage. Attracting and retaining talent is both challenging and complex for organizations since it is not known especially at the top level which employee skills will be most valuable in helping the organization be competitive globally. In this thoughtful book Reis bucks the trend on emerging super talents critically analyzing topics related to the field of general management careers and talent management – such as leadership entrepreneurship gender and diversity – to demonstrate the range of employee skills that can benefit an organization globally. Chapter focuses include global entrepreneurship remote business practices and social responsibility. These new perspectives on talent management will help students of human resource management think critically about the implications of pursuing or encouraging a "perfect" career trajectory.

The Inn and the TravellerDigressive Topographies in the Early Modern European Novel

The Inn and the TravellerDigressive Topographies in the Early Modern European Novel

In the landscape of the early modern European comic novel the inn often features as a monument to digression - the perfect setting for chance encounters with strangers who always have a story to tell. This wide-ranging comparative study explores the special part played by the inn tracing the progress of a succession of wayward heroes and narrators in five canonical texts: Cervantes's "Don Quijote" Scarron's "Roman comique" Fielding's "Joseph Andrews" and "Tom Jones" Sterne's "Tristram Shandy" and Diderot's "Jacques le fataliste". As this celebration of digressive fiction unfolds a very different picture emerges of the novel's rise and development.
