In times of intercultural tensions and conflicts, sincerity matters. Traditionally, sincerity concerns a performance of authenticity and truth, a performance that in intercultural situations is easily misunderstood. Sincerity plays a major role in law, the arts - literature, but especially the visual and performing arts - and religion. Sincerity enters the English language in the sixteenth century, when theatre emerged as the dominant idiom of secular representation, during a time of major religious changes. The present historical moment has much in common with that era; with its religious and cultural conflicts and major transformations in representational idioms and media. "The Rhetoric of Sincerity" is concerned with the ways in which the performance of sincerity is culturally specific and is enacted in different media and disciplines. The book focuses on the theatricality of sincerity, its bodily, linguistic, and social performances, and the success or failure of such performances. |
A major historical phenomenon of our century, exile has been a focal point for reflections about individual and cultural identity and problems of nationalism, racism, and war. Whether emigrés, exiles, expatriates, refugees, or nomads, these people all experience a distance from their homes and often their native languages. Exile and Creativity brings together the widely varied perspectives of nineteen distinguished European and American scholars and cultural critics to ask: Is exile a falling away from a source of creativity associated with the wholeness of home and one’s own language, or is it a spur to creativity?In essays that range chronologically from the Renaissance to the 1990s, geographically from the Danube to the Andes, and historically from the Inquisition to the Holocaust, the complexities and tensions of exile and the diversity of its experiences are examined. Recognizing exile as an interior experience as much as a physical displacement, this collection discusses such varied topics as intellectual exile and seventeenth-century French literature; different versions of home and of the novel in the writings of Bakhtin and Lukács; the displacement of James Joyce and Clarice Lispector; a young journalist’s meeting with James Baldwin in the south of France; Jean Renoir’s Hollywood years; and reflections by the descendents of European emigrés. Strikingly, many of the essays are themselves the work of exiles, bearing out once more the power of the personal voice in scholarship. With the exception of the contribution by Henry Louis Gates Jr., these essays were originally published in a special double issue of Poetics Today in 1996. Exile and Creativity will engage a range of readers from those whose specific interests include the problems of displacement and diaspora and the European Holocaust to those whose broad interests include art, literary and cultural studies, history, film, and the nature of human creativity.

Modern cash management is no longer restricted to the management of business cash flows and account balances. Nowadays, a cash manager is the treasurer s right-hand man, who, in addition to these core tasks, also bears responsibility for the management of interest and foreign exchange risks and for some of the company s corporate finance operations. In addition, he plays an important supporting role towards the working capital management of the company. This book provides an overview of the position and duties of the modern cash manager in an international company. In addition, it deals with the most important instruments used in contemporary cash management. It covers a cash manager s regular duties, such as the daily management of account balances and the conclusion of transactions in the financial markets. Examples are presented of several types of cash flow forecasts and an overview is provided of all relevant financial products. Furthermore, extensive attention is devoted to the establishment of a proper cash management infrastructure for the company. This includes setting up an (international) account structure, cash pools (international or otherwise), payment and collection factories and a netting system. Finally, a description is provided of the cash manager s role as a company adviser in relation to the management of its working capital. This book is primarily intended for (future) professionals in the corporate treasury and banking sectors, who wish to gain practical knowledge about the subject. It is also suitable for students who need to obtain a broad general overview of cash management as part of their business economics and administration studies. |
