"When considering societal expectations and traditions in research, assumptions are often an integral aspect – particularly in the disciplines pertaining to organization studies. The objective of this anthology is to analyze, clarify and demystify assumptions about research and the way that organizations work.The book is interdisciplinary in its form and content. The chapters are in part theoretical and analytical, yet draw on various empirical illustrations. In doing so, the book touches on the research process, basic assumptions in research, possibilities as well as pitfalls that both novice researchers as well as more experienced ones ought to keep in mind.The individual chapters address research and publication through a range of areas and topics including: accounting and management control, examination of the term ‘organization’ itself, and exploration of behavioral and social processes that lead to change in organizations and society as a whole. All of the chapters illuminate different roles in the research process in organization studies.Dealing with Expectations and Traditions in Research will be of interest to researchers on all levels, including PhD students and master’s students writing term papers and their theses, as well as in methodological courses and discussions."

Ces Entretiens sont attachés à un lieu, qui leur donne son nom : La Garenne Lemot, une villa néo-classique, aux bords escarpés de la Sèvre, dans l’évocation de la Toscane. En cet endroit l’on peut parler de beauté et de grâce, mais aussi, comme nous l’avons fait, de tolérance et d’amitié. Ces Entretiens sont annuels. Le lieu est essentiel. Il communique un charme et une grâce qui ouvrent à la beauté. Il engage à l’absence de raideur que nous avons rêvée, chacun à travers nos disciplines et nos imaginaires. C’est d’ailleurs ainsi que nous entendons ces Entretiens. Des sujets vagues, dirait-on, des lieux communs, mais affrontés avec rigueur. Il y a longtemps que nous nous exerçons à ce que j’appelle l’élucidation critique des lieux communs de l’imaginaire. Nous sommes très loin de tout dogmatisme. Nous sommes invités, comme les historiens de l’imaginaire que nous voulons être, à prendre les chemins de nos disciplines, à les regarder se rencontrer, il est difficile d’organiser une présentation. Chercher une conclusion est impossible. Le lecteur est invité à la table de La Garenne. Cette année-là il s’agissait de métamorphoses. Je pense qu’il y aura matière à rêver.

"The Power of the In-Between: Intermediality as a Tool for Aesthetic Analysis and Critical Reflection gathers fourteen individual case studies where intermedial issues—issues concerning that which takes place in between media—are explored in relation to a range of different cultural objects and contexts, different methodological approaches, and different disciplinary perspectives. The cases investigate the intermediality of such manifold objects and phenomena as contemporary installation art, twentieth-century geography books, renaissance sculpture, media theory, and public architecture of the 1970s. They also bring together scholars from the disciplines of art history, comparative literature, theatre studies, musicology, and the history of ideas.Starting out from an inclusive understanding of intermediality as “relations between media conventionally perceived as different,” each author specifies and investigates “intermediality” in their own particular case; that is, each examines how it is inflected by particular objects, methods, and research questions. “Intermediality” thus serves both as a concept employed to cover an inclusive range of cultural objects, cultural contexts, methodological approaches, and so on, and as a concept to be modelled out by the particular cases it is brought to bear on. Rather than merely applying a predefined concept, the objectives are experimental. The authors explore the concept of intermediality as a malleable tool of research.This volume further makes a point of transgressing the divide between media history and semiotically and/or aesthetically oriented intermedial studies. The former concerns the specificity of media technologies and media interrelations in socially, politically, and epistemologically defined space and time, and the latter targets formal considerations of media objects and its various meaning-making elements. These two conventionally separated fields of research are integrated in order to produce a richer understanding of the analytical and historical, as well as the aesthetic and technological, conditions and possibilities of intermedial phenomena."

"Sich mit Briefmarken zu befassen, sie zu sammeln, zu sichten und zu besprechen, gilt auch heute noch als eines der Standardbeispiele für das, was im alltäglichen Sprachgebrauch als Hobby bezeichnet wird. Den Status einer anerkannten Hilfswissenschaft der Geschichtswissenschaft hat die Philatelie, im Gegensatz zur Numismatik oder Heraldik, nie erreicht. Und obgleich mehrere Turns der Wissenschaftslandschaft diese doch hätten erfassen müssen, man denke etwa an den Iconic Turn, den Material Turn oder auch die entstehende Visual History, blieb die Philatelie und insbesondere die Briefmarke und deren Wert für die Geschichtswissenschaft bis heute nahezu unbeleuchtet. Der vorliegende Band versucht, dies zu ändern und führt in exemplarischen Analysen vor, wovon diese Kommunikationsmittel Zeugnis ablegen."

Starting 2019, Thaksin University, Thailand become the new member of ICMR family. The main objective of this conference is to provide a platform for researchers to share research results in various fields. By doing so, it aims to improve the culture of research and collaboration among scholars and researchers both regionally and internationally. The International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research (ICMR) will be a platform for academician to share their findings and provide insights to explore current discoveries and technologies. Sharing of research findings can be channeled into discoveries for improving the quality of life.

"This unique volume utilises the UNESCO Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) framework to illustrate successful integration of sustainability education in post-secondary foreign language (FL) learning. Showcasing a variety of approaches to using content-based instruction (CBI) in college-level courses, this text valuably demonstrates how topics relating to environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of sustainability can be integrated in FL curricula. Chapters draw on case studies from colleges throughout the US and consider theoretical and practical concerns relating to models of sustainability-based teaching and learning. Chapters present examples of project-, problem-, and task-based approaches, as well as field work, debate, and reflective pedagogies to enhance students' awareness and engagement with sustainable development issues as they acquire a foreign language. Insights and recommendations apply across languages and highlight the potential contribution of FL learning to promote sustainability literacy amongst learners. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators in higher education with an interest in Modern Foreign Languages, sustainability education, training, and leadership more broadly.
