The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

IVRESSES
by Monique-Marie IHRY
Lorsque le bonheur est soumis aux caprices du destin, le printemps du cœur ne dure parfois que peu de temps… Ainsi va la vie et la mort, mort de l’âme lorsque l’être aimé n’est plus. Un anniversaire : dix ans. Dix ans à tenter de renaître à la vie, livrée aux affres de la solitude. Et cette pluie automnale incessante, ce temps immobile, cette attente, si longue attente des jours meilleurs... Un oiseau, témoin du désarroi de l’aimée désormais seule, s’enfuit vers la nuit de l’âme. La femme évolue dans « cette nuit évinçant de la rose la beauté / et du cœur l’espérance ». Le cœur erre, funambule, renonce, s’affronte aux ronces du chemin, s’abandonne aux « ivresses nécessaires », ces joyeuses, féériques métaphores et ces promesses illusoires conférées par l’oubli artificiel. Les oiseaux désertent le ciel. L’oiseau bleu s’enfuit, pensant trouver son salut au-delà de la mer et puis se meurt, alors que vient tout juste d’éclore à la vie la fine fleur de l’espérance… L’amante survivra dans la contemplation des beautés de la nature et l’espérance recouvrée de ces grandes retrouvailles promises au printemps de l’Au-delà. IVRESSES est un Hymne à l’amour, cet amour inconditionnel perdurant bien au-delà du temps, des ans et de la peine.

Sociology: work & labourSeptember 1996Issues in Civilian Outplacement Strategies
Proceedings of a Workshop
by Renae F. Broderick, Editor; Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, National Research Council
In the past six years, planned downsizing has reduced the civilian work force of the U.S. Department of Defense from over 1 million to just under 850,000. By 2001, approximately 119,000 more civilian jobs will be eliminated. The reemployment picture for civilians is not strong, and the economic impact of base closings will also be felt by the surrounding communities. This book presents creative ideas for civilian outplacement based on or suggested by private-sector experiences. It discusses a number of issues that the Department of Defense must consider in its outplacement efforts, including organizational planning for effective outplacement services, whether or not to customize services for particular types of employees, monitoring outplacement practices to learn what works, and working with local communities in providing both job search and social services.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2021Reproductive Politics and the Makings of Modern India
by Mytheli Sreenivas
In modern India, reforming individual reproduction, through changing marriage practices or the introduction of birth control, became a means to shape the life of the population as a whole. Mytheli Sreenivas traces moments when social actors questioned the wide-ranging, complex, and sometimes contradictory politics of reproduction, asking how practices associated with biological reproduction, and the social meanings attached to these practices, became the target of public debate and contestation. She reveals the intimate imbrication of population concerns with reproductive politics and the economy, and suggests that the ideologies and institutions that encouraged the government to intervene in the reproductive lives of its subjects were not mid-twentieth-century inventions, but arose from concerns that first took shape in colonial India. Exploring the wide implications of these policies and programs, Sreenivas challenges some of the fundamental assumptions that underpin reproductive politics today, in India and transnationally.

Pay for Performance
Evaluating Performance Appraisal and Merit Pay
by George T. Milkovich and Alexandra K. Wigdor, Editors, with Renae F. Broderick and Anne S. Mavor; Committee on Performance Appraisal for Merit Pay,National Research Council
"Pay for performance" has become a buzzword for the 1990s, as U.S. organizations seek ways to boost employee productivity. The new emphasis on performance appraisal and merit pay calls for a thorough examination of their effectiveness. Pay for Performance is the best resource to date on the issues of whether these concepts work and how they can be applied most effectively in the workplace. This important book looks at performance appraisal and pay practices in the private sector and describes whether--and how--private industry experience is revelant to federal pay reform. It focuses on the needs of the federal government, exploring how the federal pay system evolved; available evidence on federal employee attitudes toward their work, their pay, and their reputation with the public; and the complicating and pervasive factor of politics.
