“…The process of clarifying and delineating the effectuation approach across many papers involves good recycling of ideas and (appropriately adjusted) material. However, this is not unusual for academic "hedgehogs" (to use Isaiah Berlin's famous term; Berlin, 1953), who concentrate on launching and refining one or a few big ideas over their academic careers. Professor Sarasvathy has indeed been continuously at work refining the effectuation approach, sometimes in response to critique, and often concentrating on specific explanatory mechanisms in the approach.…”

Professor Saras Sarasvathy is the recipient of the 2022 Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. Her research contributions have fundamentally changed and invigorated the conversation in the domain of entrepreneurship research. Sarasvathy’s work on effectuation emphasizes how entrepreneurs operate based on available resources, think in terms of affordable loss rather than profit maximization, leverage trustworthy partnerships, and treat unforeseen contingencies as opportunities rather than problems. It has led and inspired a new generation of researchers in the quest for a better understanding of how entrepreneurs make their decisions and the unfolding of the entrepreneurial process.

“…Notes 1. As Berlin (2013Berlin ( [1953) begins his essay, "there is a line among the fragments of the Greek poet Archilochus which says: 'The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.'" Extending Berlin's metaphor, one might say, for instance, that Plato, Hegel, and Marx are hedgehogs, while Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Foucault, and Latour are foxes.…”

“…In a frequently cited essay published more than a halfcentury ago, Isaiah Berlin (2013Berlin ( [1953) invoked the ancient Greek parable of hedgehogs and foxes to divide the world into two types of thinkers. 1 Hedgehogs, Berlin wrote, are monists, centripetal thinkers who "relate everything to … a single universal organizing principle in terms of which alone all that they are and say has significance."…”

The common bond linking feminist theories of identity politics and process ontologies is that, while differing in their ontological presuppositions, both are modes of representation of an external reality, asserting an unverifiable correspondence between our mental representations and an antecedent, external reality. To escape the quagmire of representationalism, Ihnji Jon turns to transitionalist pragmatism in a radical move that redirects attention from intellectual debates between contending theorists to charting a route to practical reconstruction. Jon's pragmatist turn transcends enduring dualisms that have hampered knowledge production since the Greeks while posing daunting challenges to the purpose and process of political practice and social inquiry.

“…In his essay on Tolstoy as historian, Isaiah Berlin looked to a dark saying by the ancient Greek poet Archilochus to open up the mind of his subject: "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing", πόλλ' οἶδ' ἀλώπηξ ἀλλ' ἐχῖνος ἓν μέγα (Berlin, 2013(Berlin, [1953, p. 1). Berlin acknowledged that no clean division is possible but argued that this one "offers a point of view from which to look and compare, a starting-point for genuine investigation" (p. 3).…”

Der Begriff der Motivierung führt in der Literaturwissenschaft eine merkwürdige Existenz. Einerseits sind allenthalben Urteile darüber anzutreffen, ob in literarischen Werken etwas motiviert oder nicht motiviert ist, andererseits scheint eine große Unsicherheit darüber zu bestehen, was unter Motivierung zu verstehen sei. Die größte Sicherheit über die Motivierung besteht in Feststellungen ihrer Defizienz.Eine als fehlend empfundene Motivierung löst im Rezipienten, im Leser eines Romans oder im Betrachter eines Spielfilms Enttäuschung, die Empfindung der Leere, des Mangels an Sinn aus. Diese Wirkung führt zur anthropologischen Funktion der Motivierung. Ein konsequent motiviertes Werk kompensiert für den Menschen die erfahrene Kontingenz des Weltgeschehens und die empfundene Zufälligkeit des individuellen Lebens. Das gelungene, in seiner Faktur plausible Kunstwerk erfüllt den Wunsch nach Sinn, nach einem sinnvollen Zusammenhang der Dinge, Vorgänge und Handlungen. Sinnvoll erscheint ein Zusammenhang im literarischen Werk, wenn seine Komponenten zueinander passen, wenn die Teile hinsichtlich des Ganzen motiviert sind.Über das, was die Motivierung ist, welche Komponenten sie erfasst, aus welchen Relationen sie besteht, finden sich in den einschlägigen literaturwissenschaftlichen Handbüchern und Lexika nur selten Hinweise, obwohl, wie die Register ausweisen, der Begriff durchaus häufig verwendet wird.Jede Überlegung zu den Quellen des Konzepts der Motivierung führt unweigerlich zurück zu Aristoteles, dem Urvater der Narratologie. In seiner Poetik bezeichnet Aristoteles für Tragödie und Epos die "Darstellung der Handlung" als "Mythos", welcher Begriff am besten mit "(erzählter) Geschichte" wiederzugeben ist. 1 Definiert 1 Die Zitate aus der Poetik folgen der von Manfred Fuhrmann herausgegebenen Ausgabe Aristoteles (1994) mit Angabe der Bekker-Zählung. In der Übersetzung werden von mir bestimmte, zum Teil erhebliche Revisionen im Terminologischen vorgenommen. Die wichtigste ist, dass Mimesis hier nicht mit ‚Nachahmung' übersetzt wird, sondern mit ‚Darstellung' (vgl.
