Beschrijving:
This Cahier gathers a selection of papers presented during the international conference European Literature and the Ethics of Leadership (Bergen, Norway, May 2008).
The authors share the idea that narratives offer their readers an alternative fictional world. In doing this they hold up a mirror that confronts the reader with otherness that questions his self-evident norms and values but also his daily practices. Both heroes and antiheroes contribute to this process of reflection. The confrontation with literary texts stimulates the intellectual, the emotional and the social consciousness. The firm belief that divergent (cultural) systems i.e. business ethics and literature can enrich each other is at the core of this project.
Rita Ghesquière is emeritus professor of comparative literature at the Catholic University of Leuven (KULeuven, Belgium). Her research and publications fall within the scope of the history of European literature, juvenile fiction and spirituality.
Knut J. Ims is professor in business ethics at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration. His research and publications cover a wide field from deep ecology, fair trade, ethical reflection through literature, to the metaphysics of management.
