Dear Evan Hansen, today is going to be an amazing day and here’s why: because, uh, because today all you have to do is just be yourself. But also confident; that’s super important. And interesting. Easy to talk to. Approachable. And intellig— but, just be yourself!! That’s the big, like, that’s number one: be yourself. Just, uh, you know…be true to yourself.

Communication is fundamental to the existence and survival of humans as well as to an organization. It is a process of creating and sharing ideas, information, views, facts, feelings from one place, person or group to another. Communication facilitates coordination, cooperation, and collaboration among different individuals and departments.

Information management is the process of collecting, storing, organizing, and disseminating information that is relevant and useful for an organization. Information management helps in improving efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity of organizational processes and activities. Information management also supports decision-making, planning, and innovation.

Information management and communication are closely related and interdependent. Information management provides the basis for communication by ensuring that accurate and timely information is available and accessible to all stakeholders. Communication enables information management by facilitating the exchange and feedback of information among various sources and recipients.

#新书上架# 在新书《看的权利：视觉性的逆向历史》中，作者尼古拉斯·米尔佐夫写道：

“在试图接受视觉性的不可避免的特性时，我一直想给近几十年来发生的针对景观社会和图像战争的抵抗提供一个批判性的谱系。反过来，这个谱系将为所谓的视觉文化的批判性工作提供一个框架，这并不是因为历史化的方式总是好的，而是因为视觉性有着广博而意义重大的历史，而这一历史本身也是西方史学形成的关键部分。更确切地说，视觉性及其对历史的视觉化是“西方”对自身进行历史化处理并使自身区别于其他国家的方式之一。在这种观点下，视觉文化在学术上所代表的‘视觉转向’（visual turn）本身并不是一种解放，而是试图利用其优势，开展视觉化权威的部署。在建立这一谱系的过程中，我跨越了多个‘边界’——从字面意义上说，我跨越了不少国界，涉足了三个大洲、两个半球，只为寻找档案或其他研究材料；从比喻意义上说，我跨越了区域研究、历史分期和媒介历史等多个离散的学科。”
