Agiles Arbeiten bedeutet weit mehr als die Möglichkeit des Home oder Mobile Offices. Im unternehmerischen Kontext versteht man darunter den Einsatz agiler Arbeitsmethoden. Doch dieser stellt vor allem hierarchisch strukturierte Unternehmen vor arbeitsrechtliche Herausforderungen. Die Autorin beleuchtet diese anhand der derzeit meist genutzten agilen Arbeitsmethode, der Scrum-Methode. Während bei der unternehmensübergreifenden Anwendung die Vertragsgestaltung Bedeutung erlangt, um verdeckte Arbeitnehmerüberlassung und Scheinselbständigkeit zu vermeiden, liegt der Schwerpunkt bei der unternehmensinternen Umsetzung der Scrum-Methode im Betriebsverfassungsrecht. Dieses ist flexibel genug, um neue Formen der Zusammenarbeit zu erfassen und eine effektive Mitbestimmung zu gewährleisten.

Jahrhunderts in Münster.¿¿¿¿

Literaturas entrelazadas. Portugal y España, del modernismo y la vanguardia al tiempo de las dictaduras estudia las estrechas relaciones entre las literaturas portuguesa y española desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados del XX. La perspectiva utilizada se ilumina en el concepto de la Entangled History, adaptada al ámbito de la literatura comparada por medio del análisis de los espacios de relación entre ambas literaturas. Así, estas páginas conceden un lugar privilegiado a las dependencias, interferencias y transferencias entre las letras de ambos países, condicionadas en su historia entrelazada por las relaciones de poder y las tensiones que originan los heterogéneos vínculos entre ideología y literatura.

Con este libro aportamos al estudio académico e interdisciplinario del legado intelectual de la polifacética escritora colombiana Laura Montoya Upegui (1874-1949), para lo cual proponemos la metáfora de la cartografía.
