‘World-class’ fantasies : A neocolonial analysis of international branch campuses

2018

In this article, we build on postcolonial studies and discourse analytical research exploring how the ‘world-class’ discourse as an ideology and a fantasy structures neocolonial relations in international branch campuses. We empirically examine how international branch campuses reproduce the fantasy of being so-called world-class operators and how the onsite faculty members identify with or resist this world-class fantasy through mimicry. Our research material originates from fieldwork conducted in business-school international branch campuses operating in the United Arab Emirates. Our findings show the ambivalent nature of mimicry towards the world-class fantasy to include both compliance …

Historic constructions of the early multinational: on power, politics and culture in Pan Am narratives

2018

This paper examines how Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) - an early incarnation of a multinational enterprise (MNE) - developed its image as an international company. In particular, we examine how the company developed and managed potentially conflicting narratives, including the modernising US company and the airline of 'the Americas' (specifically South America); the carrier of US national interests and the politically neutral actor serving to unify cultures; the purveyor of exotic experiences and the pioneer of modernism. Through a focus on organisational narratives, we reveal the powerful influence of such story telling (through design and serendipity) on images of the peoples and co…

Translingual Practices in Global Business : A Longitudinal Study of a Professional Communicative Repertoire

2018

This chapter draws on a longitudinal ethnographic study of a Finnish engineer’s communicative repertoire that develops in the process of professional migration. The participant first works as a factory intern in Germany, then as a project engineer and project manager in Finland, and latterly as an operations manager in China. Here, repertoire is viewed through dynamic and flexible translingual practices, in which people follow, appropriate and invent norms, combine and shuttle between languages, ways of speaking, semiotic resources and modalities in the transnational work space in order to meet, interact, make meaning and build relationships and, ultimately, do their jobs. The data selected…

Development of rhodesain inhibitors with a 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead

2013

Novel rhodesain inhibitors were obtained by combining an enantiomerically pure 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead with a specific peptidomimetic recognition moiety. All derivatives behaved as inhibitors of rhodesain, with low micromolar Ki values. Their activity against the enzyme was found to be paralleled by an in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, with IC50 values in the mid-micromolar range. Notably, a preference for parasitic over human proteases, specifically cathepsins B and L, was observed.

Identification of Plakortide E from the Caribbean Sponge Plakortis halichondroides as a Trypanocidal Protease Inhibitor using Bioactivity-Guided Frac…

2014

In this paper, we report new protease inhibitory activity of plakortide E towards cathepsins and cathepsin-like parasitic proteases. We further report on its anti-parasitic activity against Trypanosoma brucei with an IC50 value of 5 mu M and without cytotoxic effects against J774.1 macrophages at 100 mu M concentration. Plakortide E was isolated from the sponge Plakortis halichondroides using enzyme assay-guided fractionation and identified by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Furthermore, enzyme kinetic studies confirmed plakortide E as a non-competitive, slowly-binding, reversible inhibitor of rhodesain.

Fundatores et donatores : le cercle aristocratique autour de Saint-Eusèbe au XIe siècle

2006

International audience; Malgré la minceur de la documentation, on peut observer que Saint-Eusèbe, au long du XIe siècle, représente un enjeu important pour la famille des fondateurs. Bien que les Castellane aient développé des relations avec d’autres monastères importants, comme Saint-Victor de Marseille, et qu’ils soient à l’origine de la fondation ou de la restauration de plusieurs églises, dont certaines deviendront des prieurés importants, comme Saint-Symphorien de Buoux ou Sainte-Marie de Castellane, Saint-Eusèbe est la seule qui dès le départ a le rang d’abbaye. Le maintien de la famille dans la région d’Apt passe dans une certaine mesure par Saint-Eusèbe : le patronage sur une église…

De l'articulation des réseaux monastiques en Provence au Moyen Âge : Saint-Eusèbe, Saint-Gilles et Cluny

2006

International audience; La notion de “réseau monastique” essaie de rendre compte d’un phénomène nouveau dans l’histoire du monachisme bénédictin en Occident. Il s’agit, à partir du Xe siècle, du rattachement d’un nombre croissant d’églises et de domaines à des monastères, autour desquels se constituent des ensembles de dépendances d’une étendue variable. Le rayonnement de Saint-Eusèbe de Saignon demeure régional et est révélateur d’un aspect singulier de ces structures : l’enchaînement des rattachements et ce qu’ils peuvent signifier en termes d’emboîtement ou d’articulation entre les réseaux.

Pastorale monastique et pratique de l'écrit. Les actes de donation de Saint-Victor de Marseille (XIe siècle)

2009

L'enquête sur les préambules et les formules comminatoires des actes de donation du vaste corpus de Saint-Victor de Marseille (avec plus de 300 originaux conservés et un cartulaire compilé dans les années 1080 avec environ 800 actes) s'articule autour du cadre de la production des chartes et des discours qu'elles véhiculent. On envisage ainsi la question de la dynamique de l'écrit à l'intérieur d'un processus où entendre, parler, voir, réfléchir sont des actions préalables à la mise par écrit des actes diplomatiques qui laissent entrevoir en filigrane le travail pastoral réalisé par les moines et sa répercussion dans les consciences. Plus explicites sur le contenu de l'enseignement transmis…
