CEO Icon to GOP Hopeful: A Quantitative Analysis Exploring Politically Motivated Celebrity CEOs

Crighton, Lindsay 01 June 2011 (has links)
This study examined the perceptions of celebrity CEOs potentially transitioning to political candidates. Using Carly Fiorina's campaign for Senator of California, this study identified how young voters perceive celebrity CEOs as politicians, their identification of celebrity CEOs, and the evaluations of CEOs and their companies. Results indicate a more favorable evaluation of Fiorina resulted in a more favorable reaction to Hewlett- Packard. Results also confirm the use of media messages to prime young voters about political candidates. Finally, political party affiliation was found to significantly influence the findings of this study while gender and political cynicism did not. Theoretical implications and areas of future research in celebrity and politics are discussed. / Master of Arts

Cynical Futurities: A Critical Methodological Intervention Toward a Cynical Geography

Ramnath, Leah A. 14 May 2024 (has links)
In this dissertation, I disentangle the Cynical figure – one who is capable of confronting structures of power by speaking truth to power – within a Westernized, Euro-centric discourse that authorizes the Cynic as an exceptionally powerful political subjectivity. Heeding the words of Sylvia Wynter, "…the Jester's role in the pursuit of human knowledge alternates with the Priest's role—transforming heresies into new orthodoxies, the contingent into modes of the Absolute." I recover the Cynic, once sutured to a distinctly Foucauldian discursive tradition to argue Black and Brown women function as contemporary Cynics using largely a Black Feminist theoretical framework. Drawing on biomythographies written by Black and Brown women, I future a Cynical discursive tradition in which the cynic is known by a different name. / Doctor of Philosophy / In this dissertation, I explore the practice of telling the truth as a political discourse that is reserved only for a select group of people. I look at the Ancient Greek philosophical school of Cynicism to understand how someone is given permission speak truth to power and its effects. Throughout this work, I argue that the Cynical practice of speaking truth to power is exclusive and that it is not worth making space for others to speak their truth in this same practice. Using a Black feminist theoretical framework, through the works of Sylvia Wynter, Katherine McKittrick, Christina Sharpe and others, I disrupt the status quo of how the truth must be spoken in order to be heard in the political realm. Moreover, I develop a different practice of speaking truth to power by contextualizing this practice from the family kitchen table. I think about how Black and Brown women, those who are violently elided from the political realm altogether, develop their own practice of speaking truth to power from the family kitchen table space. From this context, I think about how a person develops a critical consciousness in which they are given permission to speak their truth to power. I propose that Black and Brown women embody a radical political consciousness that has the ability to disrupt the status quo, that they are not only seen and heard, but their disruption leads to political change.

Burnout, coping and engagement in the hospitality industry / Sharron A. Willemse

Willemse, Sharron Ann January 2006 (has links)
Extensive research on burnout in different occupational fields has taken place internationally. However, no studies on waitrons in South Africa have been performed, while this is an occupational group seemingly facing high emotional strain in interaction with customers. The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between burnout, coping, engagement and health in the hospitality industry. In doing so the researchers would be able to advise the industry on how they could help in preventing burnout among waitrons as well as enhancing their work engagement. A random sample using a survey design was used. The sample consisted of 150 waitrons in restaurants and coffee shops in Potchefstroom, Northwest Province. The Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, the Cybernetic Coping Scale and the General Health Questionnaire were administered. The reliability of the measuring instruments was assessed with the use of Cronbach alpha coefficients. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between burnout, coping, engagement and general health. Findings indicate that in terms of burnout, the health of waitrons is predicted by their perceptions of accomplishment, having an avoidant coping strategy or favouring symptom reduction as coping strategy. Also, the interaction of their emotional exhaustion with the coping strategy of symptom reduction, as well as their feelings of accomplishment in interaction with having an accommodative coping strategy, predicted health. Findings indicate that in terms of engagement, experiencing high levels of energy in their work, being dedicated to their work, and not having an avoidant coping strategy or avoiding addressing the symptoms of stress was related to waitrons' health. Recommendations for future research were made. / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007

Postmoderní obraz světa podle Petera Sloterdijka / Postmodern image of the world by Peter Sloterdijk

Vodička, Bohumil January 2014 (has links)
7 The abstract I consider the works of Peter Sloterdijk in my thesis. I concentrate to Sloterdijk's way of understanding of the topic cynicism in the relationship to kynicism. At first I try to describe the topic cynicism which I consider as very important to understand Sloterdijk's way of understanding of the European history in the book Falls Europa erwacht. I try to explain, how the cynicism influences various parts of life, I consider particularly the military cynicism and the cynicism of power. I consider the political and philosophical vision of Europe in the second part of the thesis because the history of Europe and its state nowadays was influenced by the cynicism very strongly. I try to explain Sloterdijk's imagination of the way out from this situation.

[en] THE KALEIDOSCOPIC WRITING A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CRITICISM STRATEGIES IN MACHADIAN FICTION / [pt] A ESCRITA CALEIDOSCÓPICA: UMA DISCUSSÃO SOBRE AS ESTRATÉGIAS CRÍTICAS NA FICÇÃO MACHADIANA

LUCIANA BARREIRO BASTOS ARNAUD 29 August 2006 (has links)
[pt] A pesquisa concentra-se na discussão da literatura de Machado de Assis, tendo como foco principal o humor machadiano - ironia e sátira - como procedimento de desconstrução da discursividade cínica de seu leitor implícito. Para ilustrar essa hipótese, a principal referência será o livro Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas. Serão abordados também os demais romances da segunda fase, os contos A teoria do Medalhão, O espelho e O alienista, e dois de seus mais importantes escritos críticos: O instinto de nacionalidade e A nova geração. A dissertação pretende, com tal procedimento, estabelecer a relação da produção literária de Machado de Assis com o projeto analítico presente em seus textos críticos, além de discernir sua contribuição e atualidade no debate cultural brasileiro. / [en] The research concentrates on the discussion of Machado de Assis literary work.

Rituais de sofrimento / Rituals of sorrow

Rodrigues, Silvia Viana 16 September 2011 (has links)
No dia 25/07/2010 o programa Pânico na TV levou ao ar uma brincadeira realizada ao vivo com seus próprios humoristas. Logo que chegaram ao aeroporto de Guarulhos vindos da África do Sul, onde cobriram a Copa da FIFA, foram recebidos pela produção que lhes ofereceu uma carona merecida, já que a equipe estava exausta da viagem e, segundo o próprio programa, havia trabalhado sem descanso e em péssimas condições. Ao invés de irem para casa, conforme o prometido, passaram horas rodando por São Paulo sem destino, até que foram deixados no aeroporto de Congonhas. Lá chegando, um colega humorista os recebeu afirmando que se tratava de uma brincadeira, mas o cansaço do passeio seria apenas a primeira, pois eles deveriam se encaminhar ao estúdio para enfrentarem uma lutadora profissional de vale-tudo. Já muito irritado, um técnico da equipe disse: Eu sou câmera, eu não tenho que tá participando desse negócio aí (...) tô cansado, porra, são quarenta dias, doze horas, comendo mal.... Todos os outros protestaram e, transtornados, se recusaram a participar: É uma falta de respeito isso com o cara que tá trabalhando, quero ir embora, quero ir para minha casa. O produtor do programa interveio e, com um celular em riste, ameaçou: tem uma ordem que é do Emílio e do Alan [diretores] pra todo mundo entrar no carro agora e ir todo mundo pra lá. Não obstante o ódio generalizado, eles retornaram ao carro. O humorista encarregado da piada tentou inúmeras vezes fazer os outros rirem até que, já constrangido, falou em tom de brincadeira: não fica bravo comigo, tô aqui trabalhando, cumprindo ordens, o outro respondeu: Brincar... a gente até compartilha com vocês, só que a gente tá sem comer, sem dormir, entendeu? É desumano isso, prá caramba. O câmera, irado, completou: Eu tenho uma puta consideração com você, mas como você consegue ver graça nisso, ver seus amigos de trabalho se fodendo (...) uma situação que não tem graça (...) O cara lá em casa vai olhar para mim e achar engraçado há há, o câmera man tá fodido. Quando chegaram ao estúdio, aquele que ainda tentava piadas, mas cujo olhar traduzia tristeza, disse com seriedade: Vem, por favor, eu também tô cansado, desculpa aí.

Capítulo 4: Como o humorista suportou ver seus amigos de trabalho se fodendo? Capítulo 5: Por que a piada continuou? / On July 25, 2010, the TV show Pânico na TV (Panic on TV) aired a live joke involving its own comediants. As soon as they arrived at Guarulhos airport coming from South Africa, where they had covered the FIFA World Cup, they were welcomed by the production, which offered them a ride they deserved, since the team was exhausted, and, according to the show itself, had worked non-stop in terrible conditions. But instead of going home as promised, they spent hours driving around the city of São Paulo, until they were left at Congonhas airport. There, another comediant told them it was a joke, and the weariness of the ride would be only the beginning, once they should now go to the studio to fight a professional MMA fighter. Already very angry, a technician said: \"I\'m a cameraman, I don\'t have to take part into this (...) I\'m fucking tired, it was forty days, twelve hours, bad food...\" Everybody else protested, and, upset, refused to participate: \"This is a lack of respect with a working guy, I want to go away, I want to go home\". The show producer came, and, with his mobile in his hand, threatened: \"I\'ve got an order from Emílio and Alan (the directors) for everybody to step into that car now and go there\". So despite the general hatred, they went back to the car. The comediant in charge of the joke tried several times to make the others laugh, until, already embarrassed, said playfuly: \"don\'t get mad at me, I\'m working here, under orders\", to which another answered: \"Joking... we even share that with you, but we haven\'t eaten or slept, got it? This is fucking not human\". The cameraman, furious, added: \"I respect you a lot, but how can you see anything funny here, watching your co-workers getting screwed (...) not a funny situation really (...) the guy back at home will look at me and think this is funny, \'haha, the cameraman is fucked\'\". When they got to the studio, the one who was still trying to make jokes, but whose look expressed sadness, said seriously: \"Come on, please, I\'m also tired, I\'m sorry\".

Chapter 4: How did the comediant stood \"watching his co-workers getting screwed?\" Chapter 5: Why did the joke go on?
