The Cambridge Companion to American Utopian Literature and Culture since 1945
Providing a comprehensive overview of American thought in the period following World War II, after which the US became a global military and economic leader, this book explores the origins of American utopianism and provides a trenchant critique from the point of view of those left out of the hegemonic ideal. Centring the voices of those oppressed by or omitted from the consumerist American Dream, this book celebrates alternative ways of thinking…
Introduction
This introduction sets the essays in the special issue into context, and reflects on Laura Marcus’s contribution both to the development of literary criticism over the last three decades, and to the institutional history of the discipline
A Revolution of the Screw
‘Where is your “home” moreover now – what has become of it?’ Can the documents of the west, Walter Benjamin's famous ‘documents of civilization’, help us to understand and articulate the peripheralisation, the provincialisation, of the west?1 If we are at a moment, as Hamid Dabashi has recently put it, at which ‘“Europe” [...] has exhausted its epistemic possibilities and has now positively imploded into itself’, can a European literary and cultu…

The Oxford History of the Novel in English
This book offers an account on the last eight decades of British and Irish prose fiction. It begins during the Second World War, when novel production fell by more than a third, and ends at a time when new technologies have made possible the publication of an unprecedented number of fiction titles and have changed completely the relationship between authors, publishers, the novel, and the reader. The chapters look at the impact of global warfare …
Jewish Fictions
This chapter looks at the characteristic genres in which British-Jewish writers have worked in the post-war period. Beginning with the Jewish writers of the 1950s and 1960s, the chapter considers the ways that they use the form of the realist novel to document, mythologize, or lament social mobility. The impact of the Holocaust was increasingly part of public discourse from the 1970s. Jewish writers turned to satirical or comic fiction to confron…
Isobel Armstrong’s Novel Politics
The following Turning Point offers responses, from four leading critics, to Isobel Armstrong’s Novel Politics: Democratic Imaginations in Nineteenth Century Fiction. At a time when the meaning and

The Future of Literary Thinking
All good writing takes us somewhere uncomfortable. One of the great services given by Textual Practice over the past 30 years has been to create a comfortable place for uncomfortable criticism. Yet right now, it is not writing but the world itself that is proving incommodious. What should criticism be doing in a political culture that has embraced hostility
Human Resource Strategy
Firms depend on human resources – the knowledge, skills and productive potential of the people they choose to hire – to create and implement strategy. HR strategy encompasses those aspects of a firm's strategy that concern the critical goals it has for managing people and the critical means it adopts to reach them. It is very sensitive to the firm's societal, industry and organizational contexts, which help to shape the choices managers make in m…
Attitudes to other ethnicities among New Zealand workers
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the “other-group orientation” (OGO) of New Zealand (NZ) workers as a way of measuring their attitudes to the growing ethnic diversity in the contemporary workplace. Design/methodology/approach – In all, 500 randomly selected NZ employees were surveyed through computer-assisted telephone interviews. Males, females and ethnic groups were included according to their current proportions in the NZ work…

High-involvement work processes, work intensification and employee well-being
Using a national population survey, this article examines how high-involvement work processes affect employee well-being. The analysis shows that greater experiences of autonomy and participation in decision-making have positive or neutral effects. Higher involvement is a key factor predicting higher job satisfaction and better work-life balance while it has no relationship to stress or fatigue. In contrast, higher levels of work intensity increa…

An HRM Perspective on Employee Participation
Since the 1980s, human resource management (HRM) has become the most widely recognized term in the Anglophone world referring to the activities of management in organizing work and managing people to achieve organizational ends. HRM itself can be subdivided into three domains: micro HRM, strategic HRM, and international HRM. This diversity in HRM leads to a major problem if one is asked to describe an HRM perspective on employee participation. Th…
Introduction
Research and theory on high‐performance work systems
The notion of a high‐performance work system (HPWS) constitutes a claim that there exists a system of work practices for core workers in an organisation that leads in some way to superior performance. In this article, we dissect this fuzzy notion and examine its companion terminology: high‐involvement work systems and high‐commitment management. We argue that a focus on the high‐involvement stream usefully grounds HPWS studies in an important are…
The Oxford Handbook of Human Resource Management
The Oxford Handbook of Human Resource Management aims to provide an authoritative account of current trends and developments in Human Resource Management (HRM). HRM is central to management teaching and research, and has emerged in the last decade as a significant field from its earlier roots in personnel management, industrial relations, and industrial psychology. People Management and High Performance teams have become key functions and goals f…
Modernism and Postmodernism
This chapter deals with work published in the field of modernism and postmodernism in 2006 and is divided into two sections: 1. Modernism; 2. Postmodernism.
There's no Lack of Void
The opposition between Waste and abundance offers itself, arguably, as that which structures contemporary culture more fundamentally than any other. The experience of living in the West today is defined by the perception of abundance, or of superabundance. There is more of everything. When George Bush famously quipped to his supporters at a fundraising dinner during his 2004 presidential campaign that they were the “haves and the have mores,” he …

Women Hunters in Alberta, Canada
Women hunters represent a small but increasingly important constituent for wildlife management agencies. This study examines women hunters in Alberta, Canada, to provide insight into women's involvement in hunting. An automated licensing system was used to track the license-purchasing behavior of women hunters over an 8-year period. Results show that a core group of women exhibit commitment to hunting by purchasing big game licenses and that a pr…

Stated Preference Approaches for Measuring Passive Use Values
The measurement of passive use values has become an important issue in environmental economics. In this paper we examine an extension or variant of contingent valuation, the choice experiment, which employs a series of questions with more than two alternatives that are designed to elicit responses that allow the estimation of preferences over attributes of an environmental state. We also combine the information from choice experiments and conting…
