...eception Theory and Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons) Of all the literary critical theories yet discussed, I find reception theory by far the most intelligent and rewarding. After all, where does literature become literature, where does it "happen" so to speak, if not in the mind of the reader? Without the reader, literature is inky blobs on paper. This correlates to Berkeley's solipsistic analogy of a tree falling in the woods. Without a listener does it make a sound? Well, technically, it emanates vibrations, but only an ear will interpret those vibrations as sound. Thus with literature. The mind of the reader, operating on the text with it's various literary and extra-textual codes, makes it literature. In the case of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, reception theory is not only helpful, it is positively essential to any sort of literary discussion of the novel. Considerations of authorial intent are clearly to no avail, in that, due to the epistolary format, no such intent can be gleaned from the text. Try as we might to construct some sort of original meaning in the mind of the author, we find at last that the meanings we come up with have been supplied by ourselves. Laclos is like the hand of the puppeteer: we never see it, although we know that it is controlling the whole show. All we see are the ornate, 18th century marionettes as they dance through each dastardly deception, each "dangerous liaison." Even more maddening than trying to find authorial intent...

For which event was the labor productivity higher? Explain. b. What are some possible reasons for the productivity differences? a. number of meals served per worker=number of meals served/number of workers. 300 meals served/8 workers=37.5 meals served per worker 240 meals served/6 workers=40 meals served per worker The labor productivity was higher at the wedding reception event as there were 40 meals served per worker compared to the anniversary event which there was only 37.5 meals served per worker. b. There are many possible reasons for the productivity differences. One reason could be that there were new workers at the anniversary celebration. New workers tend to have lower productivity than seasoned workers. Another reason could be the design of the workspace at the wedding reception. Even though the wedding reception had less workers than at the anniversary celebration the design of a workspace can positively impact productivity by having tools and other work items within easy reach. Yet another reason for the productivity differences could be safety. The anniversary celebration had more workers than the wedding reception but if one of the anniversary workers had an accident, such as a slip and fall, that can take a toll on productivity. 2.The manager of a crew that installs carpeting...

...Audience Analysis and Reception Paul Adams XBCOM/275 6/1/2014 Karen Wright There are several lines of business that require an individual to write reports for their management. This may be statistics based on the production numbers or it could be ways to improve a current process in place. In order to write the correct report it is important to know which part of management you will be writing this report for. Some levels of management may need a quick recap of the information while others need in depth information. Addressing the right audience will help in writing an accurate and informative report. The needs of the management can be address by knowing and confirming what they are looking for. A manager over a group of individuals who produce sales is more in need of current sales and comparisons to prior periods. They need to know how the business is trending to ensure that there are enough employees available when needed or if they need to cut back on hours, such as overtime. Depending on the line of business, the manager may also need to order more goods so the sales can be completed. On the other hand, if the manager is only interested in the current process in place and how to improve them, it would be better to write a report specifically about the processes than the sales. These managers may want to create new or improve processes in order to have a more cohesive work environment. These managers may not be involved in everyday business so they need to...

...Today many people understand that the media can influence us in different ways. Even if we don’t believe what the media say it still shapes the parameters of our experience. Study after study tells us that the media do affect us. Whether we recognize it or not, mediated images not only help to shape our view of the world, but shape our value and actions. Watching movies and programs on the television as we relax takes us away into this different realm—that is, there are parts in our being that feels we are the ones in the movie and sometimes we even feel what they are feeling as we get caught in the emotional excitement. The effect of media does not stop when the movie or program ends. And this lingering effect might just be the cause of behavioral changes in people. Thus our knowledge of the world becomes a complex blend of personal, interpersonal and mediated experience. Watching popular TV programs, movies or sitcoms we tend unconsciously to copy some life style images and bring it to our way of life. Imagistic advertising is qualitatively different from nonimagistic ad, because rather than lead us to rationally evaluate the price and quality of a particular product it focuses on our emotions and conscious and underconscious desire. Imagistic advertising compels us to organize our world and place value via commercial culture products. Silently we observe and order our lives using fashion. We come to understand who we are in the same way we come to understand the...

...Cross-Cultural Consumer Behavior Brad Lytle PSY/322 March 12, 2012 Chawn Williams Cross-Cultural Consumer Behavior When a company makes the decision to market their product or service to multiple cultures, they must be very aware of the intricacies and differences between each of the cultures. While some customs or traits associated with a particular culture are very overt or obvious, others may not be. Detailed analysis must be done to ensure that all of these traits have been considered. Failure to do so could result in a lack of profits at best and a negative hit to a brand name at worst. Two case studies give examples of companies attempting to market and sell their products and services in new cultures. Case One: Japan to Apple’s iPhone: “No Thanks!” When Apple unveiled its much anticipated iPhone to the United States the response was overwhelming. The iPhone broke new ground in smartphone technology with its touch display, 3G data network capability and internet-based applications and utilities. Apple enjoyed huge sales and revenue in the United States. Similar success was enjoyed when the iPhone was released in other countries around the world as well. Overall, the feedback was very positive. So when it came time to release the iPhone in Japan, analysts estimated a million sales. Revised estimates after the release, however, were a staggering 50% lower at 500,000 units sold. There was initially much confusion as to why actual sales were so much lower...

...Audience Analysis and Reception Name XBCOM/275 Date Instructors name Audience Analysis and Reception Audience Analysis and Reception In this paper, I will present some important facts while preparing a report for the management of my company. My goal while speaking to them would be to either inform, persuade or entertain the upper management. While doing this I need to know the interests, likes and dislikes. I will tailor my speech to the needs of the management which would lead to a positive reaction from them. Why you need to know your audience? This is important because in order to achieve your purpose, as well as to get the expression and applause you desire, you must satisfy the audience with something in which they are interested. Thus, it is important to know what your audience is interested in, what their expectations are and even what mood they are in. In speaking to a group of managers at work, you have a good idea of who will be in the audience. There may be some individuals to be wary of or to whom you should focus the speech. It is a good idea to know who is important in my career in giving his presentations. If you find out about some key people in the audience, you can use them in your opening comments to gain rapport with the audience. Everyone likes a humorous comment about the boss, at your expense, not at his or hers. Audience Analysis and Reception ...

...ENGL 1121 Personal Experience Essay September 8, 2013 Vintage Wedding Reception It was a beautiful hot Saturday evening in September. The hot humid summer air was very sultry, so think you could cut the air with a knife. The air was filled with a stunning aroma of fresh flowers and cadence of the guests. There were peaceful subtle sounds of violins; viola and cello music filling the air while guests were arriving for the start of the 1920 themed reception. The atmosphere we felt on arrival to our friend’s reception was like being in the movie set of the “Great Gatsby.” The Tudor Revival/Cotswold Cottage that stood three stories in the background was perfect for the set of this extraordinary reception party. Upon arrival my first perception of the ambiance was that I just had walked back into a roaring 20’s reception party. The lavish attire of the quests and the vehicles out front of this gorgeous cottage was something out of the movie “The Great Gatsby.” Everyone was engaged in conversation with each other and the champagne appeared to be flowing like endless waterfalls into the crystal stemware that quests were holding so elegantly. The subtle tone of the crowd drew louder as they seemed to start getting anxious as the bride and groomed arrived in a 1920’s Packard Eight Sport Phaeton. Our friends wedding party entered the beautifully decorated grounds of the cottage everyone started applauding. As they made their way through the crowd they started hugging...
