Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: 'Office Space' recently gained cult status for its parody of the realities of postmodern work combined with a fundamental critique of late twentieth century forms of corporate management. Although it was filmed in 1999, and work conditions have since changed, paid occupational labor is more relevant for individual identity projects than ever. Office Space effectively presents the pressure created by contemporary forms of management and reveals the challenges companies and employees face in defining and finding a purpose for what exactly it is that ¿they do there¿.The ability to narrate one's own life proves to be of great significance in an age of growing automation and heightened fears of unemployment, particularly regarding the concepts of (work-) time and space. Mike Judge¿s satire depicts the shortcomings of a system subject to multiple radical changes such as individualization and the flexibilization of labor. These changes have a direct effect on the postmodern individual: They cause disorientation and drift, social disembedding, and altering human relationships in general.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

According Delsaerdt & Roegiers in their catalogue '' Brabant in Revolutie'', K.U.L. 1988, item 56; this publication which stopped at the end of 1790 (collapse of the United Dutch States - Union des Provinces Belgiques) is the main source collection regarding this revolutionary period. Note on the supra-libro ; The Canon of Saint-Donatien of Bruges ; Jean-Baptiste Croquet died in 1646. Apparently at the end of the next century a Bruges bookbinder still used the canon's irons to embellish his products. Two of the three book titles given by De Jonghe d'Ardoye which carry Croquet's arms were published post-mortem. Note on the place of imprint ; No place of imprint is given. In the first recueil is mentioned M. Lemaire of Brussels. In the preface of the second recueil this name is repeated as the name of J. Tutot at Liège. (See also Theux de Montjardin col. 704-705).
