Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its history, popular mass-mediated culture has turned its attention to representing and interrogating organizational life. As early as Charlie Chaplin’s cinematic classic Modern Times and as recently as the primetime television hit The Simpsons, we see cultural products that engage reflexively in coming to terms with the meaning of work, technology and workplace relations. It is only since the late 1990s, however, that those who research management and organizations have come to collectively dwell on the relationship between organizations and popular culture – a relationship where the cultural meanings of work are articulated in popular culture, and where popular culture challenges taken for granted knowledge about the structure and practice work. Key to this development has been the journal Culture and Organization – a journal that has been centre stage in creating new vistas through which the ‘cultural studies of organization’ can be explored. This book brings together the journal’s best contributions which specifically address how popular culture represents, informs and potentially transforms organizational practice. Featuring contributors from the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, this exciting anthology provides a comprehensive review of research in organization and popular culture.

Download or read book The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Rip Van Winkle Tales of a Traveller written by Washington Irving and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and Tales of a Traveller is a timeless collection of short stories written by Washington Irving, one of America's foremost literary figures. Originally published in the early years of XIX century, this collection has captivated readers for centuries with its haunting and humorous tales that have become iconic pieces of American literature. The book begins with the legendary tale of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, set in a small village in New York state. The story follows the adventures of Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher who becomes infatuated with a local beauty, Katrina Van Tassel. However, Crane's pursuit of Katrina is threatened by the presence of a legendary headless horseman who haunts the village at night. With its eerie atmosphere and vivid description of the supernatural, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has become a classic Halloween read and has been adapted into multiple films and television shows. The second story in this collection is Rip Van Winkle, a beloved American folktale that tells the story of a man who falls asleep for 20 years and wakes up to a completely changed world. Set in the countryside of New York, this story is a humorous and satirical commentary on the American Revolution and the changes that occurred in society during this time. Rip Van Winkle's character is an embodiment of the American spirit of independence and his journey highlights the country's transition from a British colony to a newly formed nation. The remaining tales in this collection, collectively known as Tales of a Traveller, showcase Irving's talent for storytelling and his keen observations of human nature. Written in the form of travelogues, these stories take readers on a journey through Europe and the Middle East, exploring themes of love, adventure, and human folly. Through his vivid descriptions and sharp wit, Irving paints a vivid picture of the places he visited and the people he encountered, creating a sense of wonder and escapism for readers. What makes this collection truly remarkable is not just the timeless stories it contains, but also the imaginative and eloquent writing style of Washington Irving. His use of descriptive language, wit, and humor bring the stories to life and transport readers to another time and place. Through his writing, Irving captures the essence of American folklore and showcases the diversity of the American landscape and its people. Moreover, this collection has had a lasting impact on American literature and popular culture. It has inspired countless adaptations, from movies and TV shows to stage productions and even an amusement park ride. Irving's tales have also influenced numerous other writers, including Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne, and continue to be studied and appreciated by readers of all ages. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and Tales of a Traveller is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature, folklore, or simply looking for a good scare. Through its timeless stories, vivid imagery, and masterful storytelling, this collection remains a significant piece of American literary history and a testament to Washington Irving's enduring legacy.
