Beyond Airline Disruptions
Author: Jasenka Rapajic
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9780754674405
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Beyond Airline Disruptions challenges the traditional approach to disruption management where disruptions are treated mainly as an operational issue, thereby ignoring their multidimensional aspects. The book explains how to recognise system weaknesses, and how to minimise gaps between plans and reality, and strategy and operations. It also describes how to manage disruptions by focusing on things that really matter, revealing their dependences, and pointing out the importance of cross-functional communication.

Demenageries
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9401200491
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Demenageries, Thinking (of) Animals after Derrida is a collection of essays on animality following Jacques Derrida’s work. The Western philosophical tradition separated animals from men by excluding the former from everything that was considered “proper to man”: laughing, suffering, mourning, and above all, thinking. The “animal” has traditionally been considered the absolute Other of humans. This radical otherness has served as the rationale for the domination, exploitation and slaughter of animals. What Derrida called “la pensée de l’animal” (which means both thinking concerning the animal and “animal thinking”) may help us understand differently such apparently human features as language, thought and writing. It may also help us think anew about such highly philosophical concerns as differences, otherness, the end(s) of history and the world at large. Thanks to the ethical and epistemological crisis of Western humanism, “animality” has become an almost fashionable topic. However, Demenageries is the first collection to take Derrida’s thinking on animal thinking as a starting point, a way of reflecting not only on animals but starting from them, in order to address a variety of issues from a vast range of theoretical perspectives: philosophy, literature, cultural theory, anthropology, ethics, politics, religion, feminism, postcolonialism and, of course, posthumanism.

X—The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Thought
Author: Nahum Dimitri Chandler
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823254089
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
The acclaimed scholar and author of Beyond This Narrow Now presents a provocative new reading of W.E.B. Du Bois with far-reaching implications. X—The Problem of the Negro as a Problem for Thought offers an original account of matters African American, and by implication the African diaspora in general, as an object of discourse and knowledge. It likewise challenges the conception of analogous objects of study across dominant ethnological disciplines (e.g., anthropology, history, and sociology) and the various forms of cultural, ethnic, and postcolonial studies. With special reference to the work of W.E.B. Du Bois, Chandler shows how a concern with the Negro is central to the social and historical problematization that underwrote twentieth-century explorations of what it means to exist as an historical entity—referring to their antecedents in eighteenth-century thought and forward into their ongoing itinerary in the twenty-first century. “Nahum Chandler is one of the very few truly indispensable thinkers at work in the study of the African diaspora, which is, as he so brilliantly shows, the study of the modern world.” —Fred Moten, Duke University
