These essays deal with the scholarly study of the genesis,
transmission, and editorial reconstitution of texts by exploring
the connections between textual instability and textual theory,
interpretation, and pedagogy. What makes this collection unique is
that each essay brings a different theoretical orientation-New
Historicism, Poststructuralism, or Feminism-to bear upon a
different text, such as Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Faulkner's
TheSound and the Fury, or hypertext fiction, to explore the
dialectical relationship between texts and textuality. The essays
bring some of the textual theories that compete with each other
today into contact with a broad range of primarily literary textual
histories. That texts are intrinsically unstable, frequently
consisting of a series of determinate historical versions, has
consequences for all students of literature, because different
versions of a literary work frequently help shape different
readings independently of the interpretations brought to bear upon
them. Textual instability of the works is relevant to our
understanding of how the meanings of texts are generated. The
contributors build on the numerous challenges to the Anglo-American
editorial tradition mounted during the past decade by scholars as
diverse as Jerome McGann, D.F. McKenzie, Peter Shillingsburg, D.C.
Greetham, Hershel Parker, and Hans Walter Gabler. The volume
contributes to the paradigm shift in textual scholarship
inaugurated by these scholars. Index.
Information services are economic and organizational activities for
informing people. Because informing is changing rapidly under the
influence of internet-technologies, this book presents in Chapter 1
fundamental notions of information and knowledge, based on
philosopher C.W. Churchman's inquiring systems. This results in the
identification of three product-oriented design theory aspects:
content, use value and revenue. Chapter 2 describes how one can
cope with these aspects by presenting process-oriented design
theory. Both design theory insights are applied in chapters on
information services challenges, their business concepts and
processes, their architectures and exploitation. The final chapter
discusses three case studies that integrate the insights from
previous chapters, and it discusses some ideas for future research.
This book gives students a coherent start to the topic of
information services from a design science perspective, with a
balance between technical and managerial aspects. Therefore, this
book is useful for modern curricula of management, communication
science and information systems. Because of its design science
approach, it also explains design science principles. The book also
serves professionals and academics in search of a foundational
understanding of informing as a science and management practice.
