line. The technology of the medium, however astonishing it may be, disappears behind whatever flows through it—facts, entertainment, instruction, conversation. When people start debating (as they always do) whether the medium’s effects are good or bad, it’s the content they wrestle over. Enthusiasts celebrate it; skeptics decry it. The terms of the argument have been pretty much the same for every new informational medium, going back at least to the books that came off Gutenberg’s press. Enthusiasts

Large, available workforce at competitive wages: There are many unemployed and underemployed craftspeople, and low wages mean that a high degree of handicraft (joinery, carving, painting, and so on) can be a competitive advantage. “A lot of artistic detail doesn’t add much cost.” 49 Flexible capacity with village-based production: Subcontracting arrangements are common among MSMEs, making it possible to expand and contract capacity

a lack of trust generated from so many false promises by pseudoexperts espousing unethical, forged financial forecasts. The bubble economy might have appeared to be better, but it was doomed to failure because of poor attention to detail, including bad or nonexistent business plans. As a sales manager, either way you look at it, it is challenging to figure out where the current trend in the economy is going and what it might mean to your strategic sales plans.

Its sensuality pervades the flowing lines of Sukhothai Buddha images and the lines and planes that proliferate in architecture and mural paintings. The river provides the Thai mode of negotiating life's obstacles: it does not confront them, it flows around them. Thais do not live as independent entities, they melt their lives together, through consensus and compromise to preserve a liquid continuity

signes, Paris : PUF, 1964, p. 53. « Once again, in his attitude to painting as in his attitude to literature, Charles Swann offers an instructive bad example. The temptation, in dealing with the visual arts, is […] that of “idolatry” – the supposition that a picture derives its value from what it represents, instead of the other way around. Swann succumbs to his temptation in his dealings with Odette, whom he sees as a Botticelli painting. This would 101 152 contexte philosophique l’idolâtrie est une

THE CLASSICAL AGE 87 continued to indulge the monstrous and the bizarre and even when the battle seemed won baroque imagery continued to reverberate and loomed large in admonitory church oratory. The growth of classical taste proceeded by often bad-tempered debate and was imposed by a consensus which was as much social as literary. Malherbe’s call for the simplification of the language of cultural discourse met with a positive response. At court and in the salons, the new urbane fashion looked

A line of poetry, often but a poor one, often a bad one, would touch the little chord, as she expressed it, and give her the sense of some mysterious desire al- most realized. And she delighted in these faint emotions which brought a little flutter to her soul, otherwise as strictly kept as
