Tucker, Amanda. "At Home in the World: Globalism in Modern Irish Writing." Scholarly Repository, 2008. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_dissertations/44.
Full textAbstract:
Because the first part of the twentieth century in Ireland was marked with nationalist milestones like the Easter Rising and the Anglo-Irish War, most accounts of modern Irish literature and culture are nation-centered. This dissertation offers a new understanding of modern Irish writing by placing national identity in conversation with global consciousness, a burgeoning concept in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In particular, this project explores three aspects of globalism: the attachments to foreign countries that Irish writers form; the ways in which these attachments affect their relationships with Ireland; and their subsequent articulation of global consciousness based on these transnational experiences. The introduction provides a critical and historical context for the project by negotiating between the established discipline of Irish Studies and the emerging field of Irish Diaspora Studies. Each chapter then investigates an Irish writer whose work indicates a relationship between global and national consciousness. The Irish-Argentine writer William Bulfin and the evolution of his relationship with gauchos, as it is suggested in his Tales of the Pampas, forms the subject of the next chapter. The second chapter juxtaposes Helen Waddell's The Princess Splendour and Other Stories, which retells fairytales from the Middle and Far East as well as from Ireland, with Lady Gregory's and Douglas Hyde's nationalistic collections of Irish folklore. The third chapter investigates the connection between the feminist underpinnings of Kate O'Brien's novels with the transnational movements that frequently accompany them. The fourth chapter examines the cosmopolitan imperative of Brian Moore's Irish-American novels. Finally, in the epilogue I briefly suggest the ways in which contemporary Irish writing extends the projects begun by these earlier figures.

Slaven, Amber N. "The Japanimated Folktale: Analysis Concerning the Use and Adaptation of Folktale Characteristics in Anime." TopSCHOLAR®, 2012. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1198.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I examine the relationship between folk tales and Japanese animation, or anime. In spite of the popular association between animation and adolescence, animated television series and films have a dynamic and compelling relationship with various age groups and nationalities. Additionally, anime and animation draw liberally from a number of folk tale traditions. Consequently, in this essay, anime is understood as a global phenomenon that draws on international cultural elements and is consumed in several international markets.
Before entering an analysis of the use of folk tales in anime, a history of animation and the place of anime within a Japanese and global matrix is provided. This history not only looks at the development of anime, its connection to Western cinema and animation studios, but also its connection to other Japanese artistic genres, such as manga. Once this foundation is established, it is possible to connect anime with folk tale scholarship in chapter two. This chapter explores this connection in three ways, namely similar content, structure and function.
Chapter three builds on the analysis in the preceding chapter and examines the ways anime, as a visual, televised, episodic series, builds on and alters the folk tale tradition. This is primarily explored through the use of visual storytelling techniques and the proliferation of advanced technology. Additionally, this chapter addresses a major point made against the use of folk tales in mass media, specifically the loss of variation. The final chapter concludes and summarizes the ideas, and analysis throughout the thesis. It is in this final chapter that suggestions for further research can be found.
This thesis looks not only at the use of folk tales and folk tale characteristics in new media, such as anime, but how these new media contribute to and help to pass on folk tale traditions. Ultimately, this paper suggests anime is an example of a contemporary form of tale telling, which draws on traditional elements as well as catering to a contemporary audience.

Bosch, Stephanie. "Forms of Affiliation: Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, and Globalism in Southern African Literary Media." Thesis, Harvard University, 2015. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:17465321.
Full textAbstract:
Forms of Affiliation maps new literary geographies that cut across national, postcolonial, local, and global frameworks. Focusing on fiction from the 1950s to the present-day from South Africa, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, it demonstrates how writers from these nations have developed new genres of fiction in popular media to imagine changing modes of interconnection across space. Popular media—including newspapers, magazines, and their digital iterations—are vital literary outlets in southern Africa and often the only means for underrepresented populations to find a voice in public discourse. Crucially, many of the genres in these publications do not fit neatly into European literary categories. They also envision Africanness and blackness within a variety of overlapping spatial scales, from the township to the diaspora, thus challenging the common conception of southern African literatures as tied primarily to nationalist projects. Through the analysis and translation of hundreds of stories from publications such as African Parade, Africa!, the Malawi News, and the Chimurenga Chronic, I identify four generic categories of southern African fiction: “migrant forms,” “township tales,” “newspaper short stories,” and “literary time-machines.” Across its chapters, Forms of Affiliation shows how these genres make visible combinations of form, meaning, and geography that are obscured by traditional literary categories.African and African American Studies

Full textAbstract:
En les últimes dècades, moltes escoles d’elit fundades segons paràmetres nacionals s’han internacionalitzat per adaptar-se a les condicions canviants de les societats en la modernitat tardana, i mantenir-se competitives en un mercat educatiu altament disputat. La internacionalitat pot ser més o menys explícita, i s’implementa en major o menor mesura en escoles públiques, concertades i privades (Bonal, 2009; Vilalta, 2015). Internacionalitzar-se implica, normalment, augmentar la presència de l’anglès i d’altres llengües estrangeres, consolidar programes d’intercanvi o cursar períodes a l’estranger, i implementar programes internacionals com els que ofereix la Organització del Batxillerat Internacional (IBO), que són cada cop més presents en escoles de tot el món (Resnik, 2012, 2015). Aquesta singular etnografia explora la construcció de la categoria internacional en dues escoles d’elit des de la perspectiva de la sociolingüística crítica. Posar la llengua al centre de l’estudi dels processos d’elitització educatius és força excepcional, i un angle fins ara inèdit en el context de Catalunya. Durant un període de tres anys he dut a terme treball de camp etnogràfic en dues escoles de l’àrea de Barcelona, una escola ‘britànica internacional’ i una escola ‘catalana internacional’. La meva anàlisi es basa en les observacions d’aula i de diversos espais de les escoles, converses i entrevistes, en els paisatges lingüístics i també en les notes de camp, dades visuals i documents, en les pàgines web de les escoles i dades de xarxes socials, i polítiques lingüístiques educatives. Tots aquests elements permeten mostrar i analitzar les transformacions semiòtiques que ha requerit en aquests casos el procés d’esdevenir internacional. La meva anàlisi mostra processos d’estilització que han tingut lloc en diversos àmbits: l’ambient, els espais, el currículum i els individus. He explorat les dinàmiques complexes que intervenen en les pràctiques de distinció (Bourdieu, 1984) que hi ha al darrere dels processos d’internacionalització en les quals escoles i individus s’embarquen; qui té accés a quins recursos; com els diversos participants es capitalitzen o descapitalitzen; quins processos de categorització social hi tenen lloc; i quines conseqüències té tot això per als projectes socials i acadèmics dels estudiants i les escoles. Les històries de les escoles i les respectives comunitats educatives revelen el desig frenètic de capitalització de les classes mitjanes-altes que, en l’escenari de post-crisis actual a Catalunya, desitgen accedir a posicions de privilegi, o mantenir-les. Una educació internacional, i un ‘molt bon anglès’ semblen ser el màxim capital distintiu, que atrau tant al públic local com a les classes mitjanes globals, per tenir la millor mà per a competir en un mercat educatius neoliberalitzats. L’anàlisi de les estratègies educatives de les classes mitjanes-altes que es mostra en aquesta tesi revela les possibilitats i limitacions de mobilitat social per a estudiants amb capitals diversos (Bourdieu, 1986). L’anàlisi dels mecanismes de producció i reproducció de classe és crucial per a entendre com els processos d’estratificació social funcionen i emergeixen del sistema educatiu a Catalunya actualment.In the last decades, many elite schools, which were founded following national models of education, have been internationalising to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of neoliberalised late-modern societies and remain competitive in highly disputed education markets. Internationality can take more or less explicit forms, and can vary in intensity in public, semi-private and private schools (Bonal, 2009; Vilalta, 2016). It usually involves, however, intensifying the presence of English and other foreign languages, institutionalizing exchange or term/year abroad programmes, and implementing international curricula such as those offered by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), which are increasingly gaining presence in schools worldwide (Resnik, 2012, 2015). This original ethnography explores the construction of the category international in two elite educational institutions from a critical sociolinguistic perspective. The focus on language(s) in processes of elitisation of education is unique, and unexplored until now in the context of Catalonia. For a period of three years I conducted ethnographic fieldwork in two schools in the Barcelona area, a ‘British international’ school and a ‘Catalan international’ school. I draw on participant observations of classes and a variety of school spaces, conversations and interviews, linguistic landscapes, and also field notes, visual data, field documents, website data and social network data, but also language-in-education policies to understand how semiotic regimes are transformed when becoming international. This happens through processes of stylisation taking place at multiple scales. My analysis shows how atmospheres, spaces, curricula and individuals are both updated and upscaled. I have explored the nuanced dynamics of distinction practices (Bourdieu, 1984) behind the internationalising processes in which schools and individuals engage; who gets to access which resources; how different participants become capitalised or decapitalised; which processes of social categorisation take place; and what consequences this has for the social and academic endeavours of students and schools. The stories of the schools and their communities reveal the frenzy for capitalisation of the (upper-)middle classes in a post-crisis Catalonia, who desire to gain access to privileged spaces or maintain their status. An international education, and a ‘very good English’ seem to be the ultimate distinctive capital. It is attractive to the traditional local clientele of these schools and increasingly to the global middle classes, who seek to compete with the best hand in neoliberalised education markets. The unique analysis of the educational strategies of the (upper-)middle classes provided in this thesis reveals the possibilities and limitations of class advancement for students with different stocks of capitals (Bourdieu, 1986). A deeper understanding of such mechanisms is crucial to understand how processes of social stratification work and emerge in the Catalan education system today.

Full textAbstract:
This text aims to alert about the risks that a justice system can generate without there being a State that shelters it. The law has always been linked to the political as argued last century by the German professor Carl Schmitt therefore there could be no right and justice without the political. The present development of constitutional justice at the global level speaks more in favor of the existence of a Justice without State because the existence of a Universal State is not viable. Now, this universal justice would not only be the product of the advance of the technique but would also be the result of the liberal ideology that has always been in a clear tension with the right understood as limit or as a computer principle, as a nomos, is Say, as a legitimate authority. When the State loses its authority - through the neutralization of the technique - the right lso loses its authority and its function is left to the economic, moral and cultural forces that are totally depoliticized andconsequently the order and peace is broken.Este texto pretende alertar sobre los riesgos que puede generar un sistema de justicia sin que exista un Estado que lo cobija. El derecho siempre ha estado ligado a lo político como sostuvo el siglo pasado el profesor alemán Carl Schmitt, por lo tanto no podría haber derecho y justicia sin lo político. El presente desarrollo de la justicia constitucional a nivel global habla más bien a favor de la existencia de una Justicia sin Estado al no ser viable la existencia de un Estado Universal. Ahora bien, esta justicia universal no solo sería el producto del avance de la técnica sino también sería el resultado de la ideología liberal que ha estado siempre en una clara tensión con el derecho entendido como límite o como un principio ordenador, como un nomos, es decir, como una autoridad legítima. Cuando el Estado pierde su autoridad - vía la neutralización de la técnica - el derecho pierde también autoridad y su función queda a manos de las fuerzas económicas, morales, culturales que están totalmente despolitizadas y por consiguiente se quebranta el orden y la paz.

Lu, Xi. "Polycultural Interactions: Fuzzy Identity." VCU Scholars Compass, 2015. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/3784.
Full textAbstract:
“Robin D.G. Kelley coined the term polyculturalism as an alternative to multiculturalism, ‘since the latter often implies that cultures are fixed, discrete entities that exist side by side—a kind of zoological approach to culture.’ ”
Polyculturalism assumes the whole world’s cultures are interactive and fluid instead of independent and static, and individuals’ relationship to cultures are complex and cannot be categorized. Yet an individual constitutes multiple cultures, and individual identity embraces the various forms of culture in all aspects of one’s life.
My research examines how polyculturalism affects aspects of communications among people who hold a multiplicity of voices. It uses my personal experiences as the basis for work that expresses the effects of mistranslation and cultural mixing and seeks to communicate them to people of various cultural backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
This practice-based research project investigates the production, distribution and reception of network art practice before and after globalisation. It does so to engage with the Internet as 'the most material and visible sign of globalisation' (Manovich 2001) whose emergence as the pre-eminent network technology arrives concurrently with the disappearance of its utopian promise. Taking Robert Filliou's 1968 conception of The Eternal Network as a starting point, the research seeks to understand the opportunities and limitations of network art practice through identifying and developing a range of curatorial and artistic methods in practice. Methodologically, it presents the researcher as an artist-curator-performer. Doing so enables 'inhabitation' (rather than 're-enactment') of the concepts and principles of Filliou's work. Filliou thus becomes a medium of research for the development of network art practice after the Net and vice versa. Curating only the second edition of The Art-of-Peace Biennale becomes the primary output of the research. Filliou conceived of the Biennale in 1970, proposed it in 1982 and René Block organised the first edition at the Kunstverein, Hamburg, Germany, in 1985. The contemporary edition, The Next Art-of-Peace Biennale 2015-17, occurred mainly but not exclusively through the online platform, www.peacebiennale.info. It did so to respond to the radical shift in modes of online production, distribution and reception since the first edition. The research describes, contextualises and reflects on the emergence of The Next Art-of-Peace Biennale 2015-2017 and describes a final exhibition, What is Peace? (Answer Here), held in 2018. It presents a contribution to knowledge through artistic and curatorial practice exploring online and offline exhibition-making, video, performance, correspondence art and writing. Through developing an ontology of 'curatorial behaviour' exploring the 'locations', 'durations', 'materialities' and 'interactions' of network art practice, the research identifies artistic and curatorial principles able to withstand the 'high-tech gloom' (Thompson 2011, p. 49) of mendacious globalisation in a late Web 2.0, postmedium condition.

Full textAbstract:
This study uses discourse analysis to investigate and compare the coverage of America in two Chinese official newspapers, the Chinese language People’s Daily and the English language China Daily in January in 1989, 1999, and 2009. This study compares the two newspapers in four aspects of the texts: topic selection, headline design, writing tactics, and visual components use, to find any differences in reporting tactics according to their different readerships. People’s Daily employed a constant editorial preference for political content and a provocative reporting tactics. Meanwhile, China Daily used a more global editorial approach. Its content and its reports were increasingly consistent with Western journalism criteria: accurate, brief, and clear.

Full textAbstract:
With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of communism the very paradigm of US foreign policy - globalism - has fallen apart, at the level of intellectual utility (analysing the world adequately) and ideological appeal (at the level of policymakers and the public). This thesis attempts to provide an account of the position of globalism in post-Cold War US foreign policy, at the level of actual policy and policy discourse, as understood and conceptualised from a neo-Gramscian perspective. Adopting the neo-Gramscian approach, we elaborate on such central Gramscian concepts as hegemony, organic intellectuals, historic blocs, etc. We also adapt such concepts as `globalism' and `world order' - which are not Gramscian in origin - to our methodology and produce our own understanding and definition of them, in addition to reinterpreting the history of US foreign policy based on our re- conceptualisation. We do examine the various economic and military policies pursued by America in the new era, but we primarily focus on the legitimating strategies adopted by the government to justify these policies, and the social basis of these legitimising strategies. Of particular concern is the wider foreign policy debate in post-Cold War America, and the differing legitimising strategies that constitute this debate as America's foreign policymakers, their attendant intellectuals, and the various power centres in the country adapt to the new world. All these different strands of analysis are pursued in tandem throughout the thesis, with all these strands pulled together by the end of this thesis.

In this essay, I investigate how the historic and current economic structures operating in Appalachia from the 1920s to the 2010s are represented in two contemporary Southern Appalachian novels – Serena (2008) by Ron Rash and Flight Behavior (2012) by Barbara Kingsolver. Through the lens of postcolonial theory, I show how Serena represents Appalachia as functioning under the colonial model outlined by Robert Blauner and Helen Mathews Lewis in 1978. Then, still under the theory of postcolonialism, I explore how Kingsolver’s work depicts regional identity in response to a post-colonial environment and the ever-expanding global economy.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization is a fascinating concept mostly because of its influence on the world and the systems within it. The external factors in the surrounding world can make any country adapt to new ways of thinking. This effect has come to impact how education works and evolves and in what way education should persist. The educational sector in Sweden is no exception to globalizations effects on how its systems work and what should be thought of it. How this phenomenon, globalization, is met by the students and the public mostly depends on how it is presented by the media and educators. Moreover we can see that there is a need for continuous education of teachers and development of their skills for them to stay up to date and face globalization on the world arena. Be-cause of this we can see politics getting involved in the educational system to be able to maintain control over its development, this involves both economical and ideological views. The presented subjects in this abstract is what the coming essay will explore. Some effects of these external factor could be and how teachers should work with globalization as a phenomenon!

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on the fieldwork in a village community in Eastern Thailand, Ban Noen PutsaPluak Ked, this thesis explores the complex relationships between processes of globaIisation, representations in the mainstream media and activist media; and villagers' responses to change. The research, summarised here has three interrelated objectives: First, to examine how globalisation and industrialisation are represented in the mainstream and activist media. Second, to investigate the role played by the activist media in promoting counter visions of possible futures. Thirdly, to investigate the practices and ideas that local people have developed to resist or accept globalisation. The research employs a multi-method approach combining ethnographic methods, a questionnaire survey; textual analysis; and focus groups. The findings point to a complex relationship between mediated representations and visions of modernity. They also demonstrate that villagers' responses are strongly stratified by age, length of residence, and relation to the pivot of the new industriaIisation- a major chemical plant and that they remain strongly influenced by the crucial nexus of traditional Thai society, the patron client system. Additionally, content analysis and critical discourse analysis suggest that Thai news television programmes reproduced both the ideology of globalism and the celebration of consumerism. Moreover, the voices of marginalized groups and local people are also absent from the activist media.

Full textAbstract:
The adoption of the neo-liberal model in the mid-1980s has forced the governing elites to reconfigure the Mexican State. However, the consolidation of a neoliberal State continues to be incomplete and it has been problematic to fully integrated the Mexican economy in the global market due to the increasing organized crime, the dismantling of previous post-revolutionary control mechanisms, and the growing mobilisation of organised indigenous opposition ranging from the peaceful obstruction of hydroelectric mega-projects in their territories to armed struggle. In view of the State crisis, this thesis argues that there has been a shift in the system of control mechanisms of the State that is leaning towards a more recurrent use of open violence to implement its neo-liberal State project. From a theoretical perspective, the research proposes an innovative approach to understanding the formation of the post-revolutionary State, which transcends the State violence dichotomy established between the ´corporatist´ and the ´critical´ approaches in the contemporary literature. The research highlights the wide spectrum of control mechanisms from hegemonic domination to violence used by the governing elites to compensate the unfinished State formation process in order to maintain socio-political stability without profound structural changes. It explores the enhanced tendency of State violence to replace incorporation in Statesociety relations since the efforts to restructure the economy from the 1980s onwards. The thesis analyses how this tendency has grown particularly in response to indigenous movements in the South of Mexico. The argument is substantiated empirically with two case studies undertaken in the sub-region of Costa Chica-Montaña of Guerrero with data from 79 semi-structured interviews with a wide range of social and political actors, and participant observation in ten indigenous communities. The case studies explore the different State control mechanisms used to advance the State formation model in the post revolutionary period; the impact of the crisis of those mechanisms in the sub-region; the violent resistance of local bosses to the loss of power, and the multiples indigenous responses to the implementation of neoliberal policies in their territories. This research also includes a comparative study to explain some factors that strengthen indigenous articulations, as well as their limits in an era of neoliberal globalisation. One of the most important research findings is that neoliberalism has further weakened the 'civilianisation' power of the State to deal peacefully with civil society sectors, particularly with indigenous peoples, while it has strengthened its 'centralised-coercive' power to carry out the imposed State model. Another finding is that the indigenous initiatives that have reinvented themselves through a new version of their practices and broader alliances have consolidated their alternative models. In contrast, the indigenous responses that have reproduced their traditions have failed.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this thesis is upon how conceptions of globalization is created by the labour-organizations Lands-organisationen (LO) and Svenskt Näringsliv. It is possible to discern two arguments for globalization in the texts, economy and democracy, and it is around these that the discourses of globalization are being constructed. Economy turns into a basic logic in the discourses of globalization. How to perceive the role of economy, as positive or negative, differs. Still, there is an agreement of the influence of economy. The ongoing power shift from the state towards the market is described as a significant consequence of globalization. With help from Ulrich Beck’s ideas about globalism the discourses then are placed in an overarching globalistic order of discourse. The conception of Democracy is an essential part of the talk about globalization. One can discern a similarity in the discourses; that is a division and separation in talking about the West and the Rest. This can be understood with the help of Stuart Hall’s idea of a discourse called "the West&the Rest" which stereotypes conceptions of Western respectively non-Western worlds.

Abbott, Gerald D. Jr. "Both Sides of Our Mouths: Contemporary Legends as a Means of Dissent in a Time of Global Modernism." UKnowledge, 2013. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/comm_etds/11.
Full textAbstract:
The legend is a permanent fixture of human societies. Though the legends themselves are permanent, their functions and meanings can fluctuate as the context in which they are told and retold shifts. As societies move through history, certain authoritative institutions create narratives that direct those societies and frame debates within them. Issues neglected by these institutions yet experienced by members of the population can be said to be unconstructed. Social problems that have achieved some level of construction inevitably provoke those who dissent from those constructions.
In these situations, members of a society look for alternative means for talking about these problems. Often they turn to the contemporary legend for this purpose. This study reviews a sample of the most popular legends in the early part of 2012 to determine the ways members of American society were dealing with the unconstructed social problems of that time.

Full textAbstract:
The Problem
Physical Education in Papua New Guinea (PNG) schools did not appear to be widespread nor progressing effectively. Its place in education appeared uncertain. Therefore the study's key question was, "What is the status of physical education in PNG, and the implications of this status?" The focus was narrowed to the history of the development of physical education curriculum, and considered decisions made by curriculum officers about what ought to be taught.
Purposes The study's purposes, in answering the key question, were to:
§ evaluate the existing physical education curriculum
§ generate recommendations for physical education programs.
The Research
Postmodern ethnography was chosen to undertake the evaluation, through the analysis of historical records and personal narratives. As there was little available literature on physical education curriculum development in PNG, the narratives and opinions of a variety of policymakers, policydevelopers, policyimplementers, and clients of this curriculum development were recorded. The curriculum itself was analysed, as well as related articles and official documentation. The collective data were evaluated, to provide an overall view of physical education curriculum development.
Methodology
Following the search for literature in libraries, data were collected from Curriculum Development Division records. As many curriculum documents (such as syllabi and advisory memos) as possible were collected. Key personnel were identified and personally interviewed by the researcher. For a wider group (school principals) an interview guideline was used, while for the oneonone interviews, an unstructured interview format was adopted, allowing respondents considerable control, as they recounted their histories, experiences, and opinions. Further data were collected from correspondence from teachers' colleges, and the former director of the National Sports Institute. The data were analysed by viewing through seven key concepts central in postmodern literature: knowledge, power, culture, postcolonialism, hegemony, globalism, and apathy. The analysis was constructed upon the historical background information, issues that arose during the research activities and the collection of the raw data and, additionally, upon the researcher's own evaluative feelings.
Outcomes
During the analysis of the literature, the narratives, the curriculum, and related documents, four recurrent issues emerged:
§ physical education's low status
§ problems in understanding the concept of physical education
§ apathy towards physical education
§ PNG knowledge versus global knowledge
The analysis of the data was therefore undertaken around these issues, as viewed through the key concept's lenses. It was found that there was a lack of usefulness in the existing physical education documents, and that there was a lack of availability of existing physical education documents. Key Education authorities were unfamiliar with physical education curriculum. Its history, both in colonial and postcolonial times, was weak. It continued to receive little attention by curriculum administrators, or schools. The National attitude of apathy towards physical education had been established by the colonial administrators and educators, and reproduced. CDD administration had little time for physical education. Consequently, there was little physical education taught in PNG schools, even though it was in the national curriculum. The only physical activity which had some place in schools was the commercial modified rules sport program, Pikinini Sport. Global activities dominated any thought of local input and activities.

Esta etnografia multissituada analisa três polos carnavalescos distintos, a partir dos circuitos de trocas estabelecidos entre eles. O principal objetivo da tese é o de compreender como as diferentes configurações culturais nos carnavais de Escolas de Samba do Rio de Janeiro, da Região dos Pampas (em três cidades, Uruguaiana no extremo sul do Brasil, Paso de Los Libres na Argentina e Artigas no Uruguai) e de uma Escola de Samba no carnaval de Notting Hill (Londres/UK) se comunicam e se envolvem em relações de interculturalidade, globalismo e hibridismo entre carnavais. As relações entre os carnavais possibilitam a disseminação de suas produções de cunho competitivo, a circulação de pessoas e objetos que cruzam fronteiras, baseadas nas dimensões da translocalidade. Esses carnavais se entrelaçam e dialogam com o carnaval carioca em circuitos de trocas e negociações, promovendo encontros, conexões, intensa circulação de profissionais, fluxos de materiais, conhecimentos e saberes entre seus contextos locais.This multi-sited ethnography analyzes three distinct carnival poles, through the exchanges circuits established among them. The main purpose of the thesis is to comprehend how the different cultural configurations in carnivals of Samba Schools of Rio de Janeiro, the Pampas region (in three cities, Uruguaiana in southern Brazil, Paso de Los Libres in Argentina and Artigas in Uruguay) and a Samba School in the Notting Hill Carnival (London/UK) communicate and involve themselves in intercultural relations, globalism and hybridism between carnivals. The relations among the carnivals allow the dissemination of their competitive productions, the circulation of persons and objects that cross borders, based on the dimension of translocality. These carnivals are intertwined and dialogue with the Rio carnival in exchanging and negotiating circuits, promoting encounters, connections, intense professionals circulation, material flows, knowledge and expertise between among its local contexts.

Full textAbstract:
This study inquires as to whether Walmart's sustainability campaign represents a sincere and holistic change throughout the company's global supply chain or if it is simply a public relations campaign which caters to the growing target market of “next-generation” consumers and justifies further expansion into “emerging markets”. A critical analysis of Walmart's sustainability discourse is presented, using transcribed texts of various corporate and publicity-geared publications. Frequently utilized terms and themes are identified throughout the big-box retailer's sustainability campaign which convey a distinctly Neoliberal ethos—a political economy which lies at the heart of current practices of institutional unsustainability—and emphasize the role of the atomized individual—who may purchase protection from environmental risks via green products. Other themes, which are commonly associated with sustainability research, are glaringly absent: subsidiarity; human rights; steady-state economics; economic inequity; the precautionary principle. This research aims to shed light on the prospects for the sustainability of green overconsumption, which Walmart is leading the way in promoting, and for the continuation of the modern economistic zeitgeist into the twenty-first century.ID: 031001513; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Title from PDF title page (viewed August 8, 2013).; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2012.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 108-113).

Full textAbstract:
This project is an active exploration of subjectivities through the medium of weaving. In a narrative illustrated with woven works, the emotional trajectory of this person of mixed cultural background through Swedish society is described. First, the work is contextualized in terms of the larger politico-cultural-discursive context, entitled the outside. It is then positioned in terms of the individual context, the inside, largely dramatized as the developments in the art of western tapestry in the past century. This culminates in the final works, three of which are presented in the final exhibition. They are entitled monads, the etymology of which, in Greek, relates to the words one, alone, or singularity. Each is a conceptual microcosm proposing a different light distribution scheme. They are imprints of alternative actualizing tendencies. There could only be one; at the end of the experiment, Schrodinger’s cat is either dead or alive. The collapse involves the very structure of the ground, and is therefore embedded directly into the weave structure. But remember, each act of observation is an irreversible disturbance to the system. In the interpretation of the primary emanation arises difference, but in which direction will the pendulum swing, and on what forces does its motion hinge? Do subjectivities follow the locality assumption? Do you produce subjectivities or do they produce you?

Full textAbstract:
The world�s indigenous peoples have been subjected to exploitation, discrimination, dispossession, relocation, assimilation and in some cases genocide since contact with the Western world. They have been the victims of an invasion which has since secured their position among the lowest social qualifiers. For centuries, they have been ignored by nation-states throughout the world. However, a new dawn has risen for the first peoples of the world, and for the past two decades thaey have experienced a cultural, political and social revival which has been gaining in popularity, intensity and effectiveness since it�s inception.
The politicisation of indigenous movements and their fundamentally local characteristics has occurred at the same time that the world is experiencing a sense of accelerated globalisation. Economic integration through trade agreements has diminished boundaries and has allowed multinational corporations to travel, sell and trade at will. The sense that the world is �one place� has fast become a reality through "the increasing volume and rapidity of the flows of money, goods, people, information, technology and images." (Featherstone, 1995:81)
The simultaneous globalisation and localisation of the world seems to be two contradictory phenomenon acting in opposition to one another. However, as several theorists have pointed out, the two are actually related and each to some degree attributes to the existence of the other (Eriksen, 1993:9; Featherstone, 1990:10; Friedman, 1990:327). In fact, indigenous movements themselves, while asserting local issues and rights, have undergone a recent transformation and now attempt to achieve their goals through global strategies. They have expanded their methods and now not only at the community and national levels, but also within the international arena.
The Maori and the Native Hawaiians are two groups of indigenous peoples who have been fighting for their rights and land for over a century. Both groups represent small percentages of their nation-states� population. This has forced them to pursue their struggle with creative strategies and persistent, patient pressure. Thus, their struggles have undergone continouos transformations in attempts to discover the most effective formula which would eventually cause their respective nation-states to recognise and address their grievances.
Recently, the Maori and the Native Hawaiians, have broadened their movement to incorporate an international tier. Activity on the international level includes international conferences, international visits/exchanges, ratification of indigenous declarations, indigenous networking, and international indigenous solidarity organisations. These activities have increased over the past twenty years as the effectiveness of such activity has also increased. New Zealand, the United States and other nation-states are being held more accountable for past injustices and are being driven to answer to the world�s indigenous community.

Full textAbstract:
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, surtout à partir du début des années 1960, et jusqu’à la fin des années 1980, plusieurs projets de recherche sur le futur ont été menés par des équipes internationales avec pour objectif la promotion d’une « conscience globale », soit un sentiment d'appartenance à une communauté humaine unique partageant un destin commun. Cette thèse examine certains de ces projets, en particulier ceux qui sont menés au sein d’organisations internationales appartenant au système des Nations Unies. Elle démontre que la pratique de la prospective a été, pendant la guerre froide, source de nouvelles conceptions du monde.Les recherches menées se situent à la croisée de plusieurs champs historiographiques dont les trois principaux sont l’histoire du futur, l’histoire intellectuelle transnationale et l’histoire de la globalité. Elles s’articulent autour de la problématique suivante : comment les études sur le futur menées au sein du système onusien pendant la guerre froide ont-elles contribué à faire émerger et à défendre certaines conceptions du global, faisant du futur du monde à la fois une catégorie d’exploration scientifique et une catégorie d’action pour un ensemble d’acteurs internationaux ?After the Second World War, in particular from the 1960s to the 1980s, several futures studies projects were conducted by international teams. Their goal was to promote the shaping of a « global consciousness » : the sense of belonging to a unique human community sharing a common destiny. This dissertation analyzes some of those projects, particularly those that were conducted within the united nations system. It shows that futurology created new ways of envisioning the world during the Cold War

On parle beaucoup aujourd'hui de simulations globales en didactique des langues. Cette these present six canevas d'invention "generaliste" et quatre utilisables en langue de specialite (canevas elabores au belc depuis 1973). La simulation globale est une faire "debarquer" sur un lieu-theme (une ile, un immeuble, un village, un cirque, un hotel, une entreprise, etc. ) l'imaginaire d'un groupe d'eleves qui prendront une identite fictive, lieu-theme sur lequel l'enseignant federera toutes les activites d'expression ecrite et orale. Cette facon de faire entrer dans la classe le reel est aussi une maniere de faire parler les eleves de la vie, de l7amour et de la mort et de lever les verrous et les inhibitions qui bloquent les processus d'apprentissage. En fait, les simulations globales obligent a reconsiderer certains aspects de la relation enseignant-enseigne-savoir et a reflechir aux questions posees par la nouvelle donne pedagogique : comment sauver sa classe de l'ennui ? peut-on apprendre en jouant? quels sont les roles d'un enseignant? et d'un eleve? comment corriger et evaluer les productions d'un jeu ? etc. Une simulation globale est un lieu edifiant ou se construisent l'apprentissage d'une langue et d'une culture, la connaissance de soi et de l'autreToday people talk a lot about global simulations in the area of language teaching. This thesis introduces six "general" canvases and four used in teaching the language to specific group (developed at belc since 1973). A global simulation is a type of educational game which consists of launching a group of pupils in to an imaginary identity and also in to a plays which is a theme (such as an island, a block of flats, a village, a circus, a hotel, etc. ) where the teacher uses oral and written exercises. This way of allowing the real world to came into the classroom is also a way of allowing the pupils to talk about life, love and death, and to remove blockages and inhitions which hinder the learning process. Indeed global simulations force people to reconsider certain aspects about the teacherlearner-learning relationship and to think about questions which wer raised by the new educational gift : how could they save the class from boredom ? could pupils play and learn at the same time ? what roles does the teacher play? and the pupil? how can a teacher correct and assess the result of a game? a global simulation is therefore a place where the learning of a language and a culture, the knowledge of oneself and of others can be built on

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Globalization, immigration and the multiculturalization of society have had a deep impact on Finland in the last few decades. But what effect did these altered cultural-societal circumstances have on literary life in Finland in the early 2000s? The object of research in this article-based dissertation is the transnationalization of literary life in Finland. This is investigated through what is called ’new transnational literature’ in this study by means of analyzing literature published by writers with migrant backgrounds during the first decade of the 20th century in Finland. The study analyzes the reception of debut novels by Ranya ElRamly, Umayya Abu-Hanna, Zinaida Linden and Alexandra Salmela. Furthermore, it considers how this reception has implicitly defined and canonized Finnish literature, and how transnational and cross-border writers are situated in the literary field in Finland. By problematizing how to approach the transnational in literary studies, this dissertation contributes to current debates on methodological nationalism. The research material consists of works of fiction as well as texts published on internet and print media that deal with the reception of the novels. These sources are examined within the framework of cultural studies, mainly from the perspectives of close reading and sociological criticism, media studies-oriented reception theory, and the history of literature, as well as transnational approach that goes beyond national framework. This research demonstrates that approximately 90 writers with migrant backgrounds, often writing in languages other than Finnish, Swedish or Sami, have published texts in Finland in the 2000s. Although many of them have been successful, most of them have continued working without due recognition hampered by prevailing monolingualism. New transnational literary works have been placed in rigid categories, and the reception has emphasized authors’ backgrounds and national borders, thus concealing the literary dimensions and qualities of their works. New transnational literature questions the understanding of literature as nation-bound. According to this study, Finnish literary life appears to be a transnational and multi-lingual space, in which writers simultaneously belong to both transnational and national literary cultures. The significance of gender is also evident, in that women writers and their books have had a pivotal role in the transnationalization of Finnish literatureTiivistelmä Globalisaatio, maahanmuutto ja yhteiskunnan monikulttuuristuminen ovat viime vuosikymmeninä luonnehtineet Suomea. Miten muuttunut kulttuuris-yhteiskunnallinen tilanne on vaikuttanut kirjalliseen elämään 2000-luvun alun Suomessa? Artikkeliväitöskirjassa tutkitaan suomalaisen kirjallisen elämän ylirajaistumista. Tätä hahmotellaan tarkastelemalla maahanmuuttajataustaisten kirjailijoiden julkaisemia tekstejä, joita kutsutaan tässä uudeksi ylirajaiseksi kirjallisuudeksi. Tutkimuksessa analysoidaan myös teosten vastaanottoa, vastaanoton sisältämää suomalaisen kirjallisuuden määrittelyä ja kanonisointia sekä ylirajaisten kirjailijoiden sijoittumista kirjalliselle kentälle Suomessa. Pohtimalla sitä, miten tutkia kirjallisuuden ylirajaisuutta, tutkimus osallistuu kansainväliseen keskusteluun metodologisesta nationalismista. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu kaunokirjallisuudesta, erityisesti Ranya ElRamlyn, Umayya Abu-Hannan, Zinaida Lindénin ja Alexandra Salmelan esikoisteoksista, sekä internetissä ja printtimediassa julkaistusta, kirjallisuutta käsittelevästä tekstimateriaalista. Aineistoa lähestytään tekstilähtöisen ja yhteiskunnallisen kirjallisuudentutkimuksen, mediatutkimuksellisesti painottuneen vastaanottotutkimuksen, kirjallisuushistoriallisen tutkimuksen sekä kansallisesta kehyksestä irtaantuvan ylirajaisen lähestymistavan suunnista. Tutkimus tuo esille sen, miten Suomessa on 2000-luvun mittaan julkaissut erilaisia tekstejä noin 90 maahanmuuttajataustaista ja usein muulla kuin suomen-, ruotsin- tai saamen kielellä työskentelevää kirjailijaa. Vaikka moni on menestynyt hyvin, edelleen suurin osa työskentelee näkymättömissä erityisesti kieleen liittyvien esteiden keskellä. Vastaanotossa aineiston kirjallisuutta on aseteltu jähmeisiin kategorioihin ja kirjailijoiden maahanmuuttajuutta on tuotu esille, mikä on korostanut kansallisia rajoja ja häivyttänyt teosten kaunokirjallisia ulottuvuuksia. Uusi ylirajainen kirjallisuus on horjuttanut käsitystä kansallisesta kirjallisuudesta. Suomalainen kirjallinen elämä näyttäytyy tutkimuksessa transnationaalisena ja monikielisenä tilana, jossa kirjailijat kuuluvat sekä ylirajaisiin kirjallisiin yhteisöihin että kansallisiin kirjallisuuksiin. Tutkimusaineisto havainnollistaa myös sukupuolen merkitystä. Kirjailijanaisilla ja heidän teoksillaan on keskeinen rooli kirjallisuuden ylirajaistumisessa ja neuvotteluissa suomalaisesta kirjallisuudesta

SANTRAUKA Šiuo metu apie elektroninę komerciją žino kone kiekvienas - tai prekių pirkimas, paslaugų reklamavimas, įmonės pristatymas per internetą. Tačiau praktiškai didžioji dalis elektroninės komercijos pasaulyje apyvartos tenka didmeninei prekybai ir žymiai mažesnė dalis - mažmeninei. Iš to matosi, kad elektroninė komercija visų pirma aktuali didmeninės prekybos įmonėms. Kad tokia sistema naudinga didmenininkams matosi ir iš stambiausio Lietuvoje kompiuterinės įrangos prekiautojo - GNT Lietuva pavyzdžio, kuris pirmas įsidiegęs elektroninės komercijos sistemą smarkiai aplenkė savo konkurentus. Kadangi e – komercija apima į organizacijos išorę orientuotus procesus bei sąveikos su jos kontaktinėmis auditorijomis – vartotojais, tiekėjais ir verslo partneriais, su kuriais įmonė susijusi atlikdama įvairias verslo funkcijas – parduodama prekes ar paslaugas, organizuodama marketingą, priimdama užsakymus, tvarkydama tiekimo sistemą, pristatydama įmonės veiklą, aptarnaudama vartotojus.

Almost everybody knows of buying different goods, advertising of services on internet. The biggest part of e-commerce returns falls to wholesale and much small part falls to retail. This shows that e-commerce is very relevant for wholesale companies at the first place. The example of the success of the biggest computer equipment providing company in Lithuania ‘GNT Lietuva’ shows that e-commerce is very important for wholesale companies. This company oustripped its rivals remarkably when introduced e-commerce system. E-commerce involves all the processes which are orientated into outward and the processes which interact with target audience – consumers, suppliers and business partners.

Pasinaudodami šia palankia aplinkybe, galime aproksimuoti neuronų populiaciją labai paprastų globaliai susietųjų (sąveikauja kiekvienas elementas su kiekvienu) osciliatorių ansambliu ir gauti gerą matematinio populiacijos dinamikos modelio sutapimą su realia sistema.
Darni neuronų veikla žmogaus organizmui yra gyvybiškai svarbus procesas, kurio sutrikimai dažniausiai turi stiprias neigiamas pasekmes. Empiriškai buvo pastebėta, kad atsiradus Parkinsono ligos simptomams, dalis neuronų sinchronizuojasi. Kai ši sinchronizacija sustabdoma, ligos simptomai žymiai susilpnėja arba visai išnyksta. Medicinoje jau naudojamas aukšto dažnio giluminės smegenų stimuliacijos metodas gydyti šiai ligai yra veiksmingas, bet šis mechanizmas nėra gerai suprantamas ir turi nemažai neigiamų savybių:
· metodas yra invazinis,
· nėra grįžtamojo ryšio,
· žmogaus smegenys yra adaptyvios ir ilgainiui pripranta prie pastovios stimuliacijos, o tai iššaukia stimuliacijos didinimą,
· galimos komplikacijos...

Though sometimes synchronization is not a desirable process and it is important to learn how to command over it in order to suppress or to strengthen synchronous behaviour in accordance with the results one would like to obtain. This study focuses on controlling the process of synchronization in globally coupled ensemble of oscillators with a configuration of separated observed and stimulated subsystems. The development of such technique could be usefull for suppression of the undesired synchronization of neural networks in the cases like Parkinsonian desease and dystonia. The main advantage of this method is being noninvasive feedback control.

Vykstanti pasaulio ekonomikos globalizacija, spartėjantis informacinių technologijų naudojimas, tarptautinių korporacijų plėtra pateikė naujus iššūkius, reikalavimus, standartus ne tik įvairių šalių verslo visuomenei, vyriausybėms, bet ir žmonijai. Verslas, globalizacijos fone, keičiasi vis greitėjančiu tempu ir susiduria su naujais iššūkiais. Pastebimas spaudimas rinkoms bei globalioms įmonėms imtis vadinamo „atsakingo globalaus kapitalizmo“ bei globalių problemų sprendimo. Kaip atsakas į besikeičiančius visuomenės poreikius, globalinių problemų sprendimą, vis labiau plėtojama ir analizuojama įmonių socialinės atsakomybės idėja. Šio darbo tikslas yra išanalizuoti pelno, kaip pagrindinio įmonių veiklos tikslo, ir įmonių socialinės atsakomybės, kurios reikšmė vis auga, optimalaus derinimo galimybes. Darbą sudaro trys dalys. Pirmojoje analizuojama globalinė ekonomika, jos varančiosios jėgos, įmonių socialinės atsakomybės idėjos samprata bei teikiama nauda. Antrojoje dalyje analizuojama kelių tarptautinių korporacijų socialiai atsakingo verslo praktika, teorinių ir empirinių tyrimų padėtis įmonių socialinės atsakomybės klausimais Lietuvoje. Trečiojoje dalyje pateikti įmonių socialinės atsakomybės idėjos supratimo darbuotojų tarpe ir šios idėjos principų taikymo tyrimo rezultatai.World’s economics globalization, speedy information technologies use, transnationals corporations development introduced new challenges, requirements, standards not only for business society of different countries, governments, but also for humanity. Business, in the context of globalization, is changing in a rapid speed and is facing up with new challenges. There is seen a pressure for global companies to undertake the “responsible global capitalism” and solve global problems. Corporate social responsibility concept is developing and analyzed as a response to changing society needs and global problems solving. The aim of this diploma paper is to analyze profit, as the main purpose of business operations, and corporate social responsibility, which importance is growing, optimal harmonization possibilities. This paper is made of three parts. In the first part of this paper there is analyzed global economy, corporate social responsibility concept and the benefits of corporate social responsibility. In the second part of diploma paper, there are analyzed the practice of socially responsible business of few transnationals corporations. In the third part there are presented research results.

Full textAbstract:
Nya förutsättningar på marknaden har resulterat i att ett nytt globalt fenomen uppkommit. Detta fenomen benämns som Born Globals, och karaktäriseras av små och medelstora företag som expanderar på den internationella marknaden tidigt efter grundandet. Dock har inte andelen svenska Born Global-företag ökat genom åren. Det beror på problem i form av oanpassat stöd, brist på kommunikation och förståelse för nyetablerade företag vid en tidig internationell expansion. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur förekomsten och användningen av exportstöd påverkat etableringen av svenska Born Global-företag utomlands samt hur de redan etablerade Born Global-företagen upplevt sin expansion utomlands. Resultaten för vår undersökning baseras på en enkätundersökning där etablerade svenska Born Globals deltagit. Vissa etablerade svenska Born Globals anser att svenska institutioner måste mer aktivt stödja och främja små och medelstora företag att söka inhemskt exportstöd. Svenska institutioner erbjuder flera olika stöd men på grund av brist på förståelse har de inte förstått att kapitalstöd är den typ av exportstöd som svenska Born Global-företag helst velat erhålla. Förekomsten av exportstöd har inte påverkat svenska Born Globals att expandera utomlands, då majoriteten har lyckats utan exportstöd.

This project report offers insight into my research, creative process and work during my two-year Master in visual communication at Konstfack, Stockholm.Clean: Not the Monochrome, Universal and Neutral Modernism You Expect is the published culmination of a period of visual research highlighting Modernism — Modernist (graphic) design and architecture to be precise — as a power structure by uncovering its connections to colonialism and design authoritarianism through misperception, whiteness, exclusive practicing and imposition.The book uses intersections of visual material, personal experience and theory to deconstruct the inheritance of the creative practitioner working in the realm of Modernism as well as its presumed neutrality.
