Findings - Ethnographic Study Looks at Gossip in the Workplace - NYTimes.com - 4 views

  • once someone made a negative comment about a person who wasn’t there, the conversation would get meaner unless someone immediately defended the target.
  • gossip in the workplace also tended to be overwhelmingly negative, but the insults were more subtle and the conversations less predictable, says Tim Hallett, a sociologist at Indiana University.
  • Office gossip can be a form of reputational warfare
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Dr. Hallett found that the teachers became so comfortable with him and his camera that they would freely insult their bosses during one-on-one interviews. But at the teachers’ formal group meetings, where they knew that another teacher might report their insults to the principal, they were more discreet.
  • they sometimes offered obliquely sarcastic comments to test the water
  • praise the predecessor
  • The teachers’ gossip never got as blatantly mean as the teenage girls’
  • The principal felt that her authority was being undermined by gossip and retaliated against teachers she suspected (correctly) of criticizing her.
  • in this case it was also a form of warfare that brought everyone down
  • it is more realistic to try managing it.
  • That simple question, a dare made in a pleasant voice
  • “Don’t we have some work to do here?”

  • Sicuti palma aequalis (hoc est, stat effigies illa aequalis tanquam palma, id est, assurgit in rectitudinem;) et non loquuntur; et tollendo tolluntur, quia non ambulabunt (hoc est, non possunt ambulare:) ne timeatis ab illis; quia non male faciunt, atque etiam bene facere non penes ipsos.

Desafíos Para La Calidad Educativa - 1 views

    Cuando pensamos en bibliotecas móviles, siempre las asociamos con los bibliobuses. Sin embargo, existen otros medios de transporte, que son usados en determinadas zonas, a las que no se puede llegar de otra forma: el agua, la selva o el desierto no son barreras para acceder a la lectura. BIBLIOLANCHA En Argentina: Una lancha de 8 m de eslora recorre las islas del Delta del Paraná en el noroeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Dotada de un fondo de 2.000 ejemplares, dispone de ordenadores con conexión a Internet y organiza talleres de promoción a la lectura. Es atendida por un "promotor cultural" ayudado por un bibliotecaria y una voluntaria de la zona que se atiende. El inconveniente para poder prestar sus servicio, radica en los elementos climáticos, como en este caso el tema de las crecidas del río.

  • ...2 more annotations...
  • How it works: The idea here is to use satellite-guided sailing ships to crisscross the oceans, constantly spewing a fine stream of sea mist into the clouds
  • Each ship would cost $2 or $3 million, making the entire program cost just a few billion dollars.
