“…For example, in the mainstream accounting literature McWatters and Lemarchand (2010) build a detailed story of merchant activities in France from the Guide du Commerce (a business text) and other data. Damon (2009) provides a useful example of constructing a narrative from historical documents -see the next section for the methods used here. One thing she notes is a narrative can be constructed, not the narrative.…”

“…One thing she notes is a narrative can be constructed, not the narrative. According to Damon (2009), who builds a narrative on ancient Rome, one useful source for a narrative is summary histories. While such sources may be limited, and subject to some criticism, a narrative can nonetheless be constructed.…”

María Martínez y Martin Quinn: Una historia de dos fábricas de cerveza, una ciudad, una depresión y un régimen nacional socialista-basado en los estados contables y el informe del órgano de gestión ___________________________________________________________________________ RESUMENEste trabajo presenta la narración de cómo un método de investigación es útil tanto en sí mismo como para el alcance de los proyectos de investigación. A partir de los datos de contabilidad de los archivos de dos fábricas de cerveza alemanas -Löwenbräu y Spaten -durante el periodo 1929-1939, se construye una historia en el complejo contexto existente en el momento para la gestión de las empresas. Para ello nos basamos en la información de los estados financieros y el informe del Consejo de Administración (Aufsichtsrat). El análisis revela razones interesantes relacionadas con el decreciente desempeño en general y a su vez, plantea varias cuestiones para futuras investigaciones en las dos fábricas de cerveza propuestas. Por lo tanto, podría decirse que, sin la construcción de la historia, tales cuestiones y áreas de interés potenciales no habrían sido identificadas. La metodología propuesta es útil para que los investigadores comprendan el alcance que pueden tener los proyectos de investigación a partir de datos contables a la vez que puede ser útil para establecer el contexto de los estudios de historia de la contabilidad y empresas. ABSTRACTThis paper presents storytelling as a useful research method in its own right, but also to scope out research projects. Construction of a story from archival accounting documents is undertaken. Using archival accounting data from two German breweries -Löwenbräu and Spaten -from 1929 to 1939, it constructs a story of the relatively complex business environment at the time. Only the financial statements and report of the Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat) are used. The story constructed is rich and reveals interesting reasons for the generally decreasing performance. This in turn raises several questions for further research into the two breweries. Arguably, without the construction of the story, such questions and areas of potential interest would not reveal themselves. The method described is useful for researchers to scope out research projects using accounting data and may also be useful for establishing context to accounting and business history studies.

Trajetórias judiciais e suas representações históricas no Império Romano: Tibério César e o julgamento de Clutório Prisco (21 d.C).

As representações literárias de julgamentos são elementos essenciais para uma compreensão mais aprofundada da realidade sociopolítica do Alto Império Romano e das estruturas narrativas utilizadas na construção imagética dos personagens históricos desse período. Dessa forma, as descrições das trajetórias judiciais oferecem múltiplas e distintas possibilidades de representação e interpretação historiográfica. Na Antiguidade Clássica, essas representações estavam inseridas em um amplo repertório imagético, cujo objetivo principal não era necessariamente a precisão histórica, mas o decoro e a verossimilhança em relação às expectativas com as quais aquela tradição literária buscava dialogar. Com base nessa série de preposições, este artigo analisa como a historiografia antiga narra a acusação movida contra Clutório Prisco, por volta de 21 d.C., e como esse caso se tornou um elemento retórico importante para a construção histórica do imperador Tibério César (14 d.C. - 37 d.C) e da administração da justiça durante seu governo.

The quality and success of scholarly work depends in large measure on the quality of the literature review process. This paper advances conceptual understanding of the literature review process and extends earlier guidelines on literature reviews. It proposes a hermeneutic framework that integrates the analysis and interpretation of literature and the search for literature. This hermeneutic framework describes the literature review process as fundamentally a process of developing understanding that is iterative in nature. Using the hermeneutic circle it describes the literature review process as being constituted by literature searching, classifying and mapping, critical assessment, and argument development. The hermeneutic approach emphasizes continuous engagement with and gradual development of a body of literature during which increased understanding and insights are developed. The paper contributes to better understanding of the literature review process and provides guidelines to assist researchers in conducting high quality reviews. Approaches for efficient searching are included in an Appendix.
