  • Evidence from My Hometown by Leo E. Strine
    Corporate Power is Corporate Purpose I: Evidence From My Hometown By Leo E. Strine, Jr.* † The Oxford Review of Economic Policy Seminar on Responsible Business Draft of December 9, 2016 Please do not cite * Chief Justice, Delaware Supreme Court; Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School; Austin Wakeman Scott Lecturer in Law, Harvard Law School; Senior Fellow, Harvard Program on Corporate Governance; and Henry Crown Fellow, Aspen Institute. † The author is grateful to Christine Balaguer, Jacob Fedechko, Peter Fritz, Alexandra Joyce, Fay Krewer, and Peggy Pfeiffer for their help. The author also thanks Stephen Bainbridge, Lawrence Hamermesh, David Katz, Marty Lipton, Andy Lubin, Sarah Lubin, and the two anonymous referees for excellent feedback and incisive comments on the draft. Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2906875 One of the most tired debates in American corporate law has been about the ends of corporate governance. Must, within the limits of their legal discretion, boards of directors act for the best interests of stockholders? Or may they exercise their discretion to advance, as an end in itself, the best interests of other corporate constituencies, such as the corporation’s employees, home communities, and consumers? The reason this debate is a bit tired is because it is not about whether corporate statutes should be amended to give equal credence to other constituencies than stockholders, it is about arguing that corporate laws that give only rights to stockholders somehow implicitly empower directors to regard other constituencies as equal ends in governance. In other words, the debate involves large doses of wish fulfillment, with advocates for other constituencies arguing that the law already is what they in fact think it ought to be.

  • NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, and ETHNO-REGIONALISM in PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING by IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in Parti
    NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings
