Full textAbstract:
This study aims to explore, describe and thus understand the phenomenon of two-year college program students’ persistence within the context of Taiwanese culture and tradition; and to develop and provide a framework or patterns for understanding working adult students’ persistence for educators. By using a hermeneutic phenomenology approach, the persistence in learning experiences of specific participants was explored based on semi-structured interviews in two exploratory studies linked by a comprehensive literature review. The researcher’s own experience of persistence was also included as part of the study. The data were analysed by using thematic analysis and narrative construction. Findings reveal that participants persist with the support of enabling factors and application of coping strategies despite barriers. The intertwined relationship between the value placed on qualifications, identity recognition and views of persistence contribute to the concept of persistence. This concept develops through schemas emerging from the data: historical effect, cultural reproduction and identity construction. Under the influence of Taiwanese tradition and culture, this concept of persistence immerses into the participants’ knowledge ground and standpoints to understand the world they live in. The concept is defined as ‘no pain, no gain’ and includes dimensions of insisting on the right to study, fulfilment of dreams, being a role model of good study habits, personal growth and enrichment. Participants construct both social identity as graduates and personal identity as progressive, competent and respected individuals. The findings of this study benefit both theory and practice. Theoretical implications and recommendations include providing insights into the concept of persistence through development of schema that underpin factors contributing to working adult students’ persistence in Taiwan. Practical implications and recommendations include insights drawn from the perspective of Taiwanese culture and tradition to understand the experience of two-year college program working adult students to persist in a high level learning environment, which informs educators to see themselves as important sources of support and information, and thus able to assist their students to cope with the barriers to their learning, or to extend persistence outside their formal educational settings and maintain their learning.

Hashimoto, Satoru. "Afterlives of the Culture: Engaging with the Trans-East Asian Cultural Tradition in Modern Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese Literatures, 1880s-1940s." Thesis, Harvard University, 2014. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:13064962.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines how modern literature in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan in the late-nineteenth to the early-twentieth centuries was practiced within contexts of these countries' deeply interrelated literary traditions. Premodern East Asian literatures developed out of a millennia-long history of dynamic intra-regional cultural communication, particularly mediated by classical Chinese, the shared traditional literary language of the region. Despite this transnational history, modern East Asian literatures have thus far been examined predominantly as distinct national processes. Challenging this conventional approach, my dissertation focuses on the translational and intertextual relationships among literary works from China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and argues that these countries' writers and critics, while transculturating modern Western aesthetics, actively engaged with the East Asian cultural tradition in heterogeneous ways in their creations of modern literature. I claim that this transnational tradition was fundamentally involved in the formation of national literary identities, and that it enabled East Asian literati to envision alternative forms of modern civilization beyond national particularity.
The dissertation is divided into three parts according to the region's changing linguistic conditions. Part I, "Proto-Nationalisms in Exile, 1880s-1910s," studies the Chinese literatus Liang Qichao's interrupted translation and adaptations of a Japanese political novel by the ex-samurai writer Shiba Shiro and the Korean translation and adaptations of Liang Qichao's political literature by the historian Sin Ch'aeho. While these writers created in transitional pre-vernacular styles directly deriving from classical Chinese, authors examined in Part II, "Modernism as Self-Criticism, 1900s-1930s," wrote in newly invented literary vernaculars. This part considers the critical essays and the modernist aesthetics of fiction by Lu Xun, Yi Kwangsu, and Natsume Soseki, founding figures of modern national literature in China, Korea, and Japan, respectively. Part III, "Transcolonial Resistances, 1930s-40s," addresses the wartime period, when the Japanese Empire exploited the regional civilizational tradition to fabricate the rhetoric of the legitimacy of its colonial rule. This part especially explores the semicolonial Chinese writer Zhou Zuoren, and the colonial Korean and Taiwanese writers Kim Saryang and Long Yingzong, who leveraged that same civilizational tradition and the critiques thereof, in order to deconstruct Japanese cultural imperialism outside of nationalist discourses.East Asian Languages and Civilizations

Chen, Ying-Chuan. "Becoming Taiwanese: Negotiating Language, Culture and Identity." Thèse, Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/24934.
Full textAbstract:
Between 1945 and 1987, as part of its efforts to impose a Chinese identity on native-born Taiwanese and to establish and maintain hegemony, Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang (KMT) government pursued a unilingual, Mandarin-only policy in education. This thesis studies the changing meaning of “becoming Taiwanese” by examining the school experiences of four generations of Taiyu speakers who went to school during the Mandarin-only era: 1) those who also went to school under the Japanese; 2) those who went to school before 1949 when Taiwan was part of KMT-controlled China; 3) those who went to school during the 1950s at the height of the implementation of KMT rule; and, 4) those who went to school when Mandarin had become the dominant language. Two data types, interviews and public documents, are analyzed using two research methods, focus group interviews as the primary one, and document analysis as the secondary one.
This research found that there is no direct relationship between how people negotiated language, hegemony and Taiwanese identity. First, as KMT hegemony became more secure, people’s links to their home language became weaker, so their view of Taiwanese identity as defined by Taiyu changed. Second, as exposure to hegemonic forces deepened over time, people were less able to find cultural spaces that allowed escape from hegemonic influences, and this, along with other life-course factors such as occupation, had an impact on their contestations of language and identity. The study recognizes the role of human agency and highlights the interactive and performative aspects of identity construction. The results reflect the different possibilities of living with hegemony in different eras, and also show that Taiwanese identity is not fixed, nor is there a single, “authentic” Taiwanese identity.

Ghezali, Habib. "Culture et tradition dans le théâtre populaire en Algérie." Toulouse 2, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003TOU20080.
Full textAbstract:
La culture populaire est une source inépuisable d'inspiration pour les productions artistiques en Algérie. Poètes, peintres, romanciers et dramaturges puisent dans ce trésor leurs matières premières avec le souci de réactualiser des modes traditionnels de communication de plus en plus menacés de disparition, par la modernisation de la société. Kaki et Kateb illustrent l'utilisation du tremplin mythique pour découvrir un monde nouveau. La remontée au monde des anciens est une investigation en vue de la découverte d'une nouvelle parole. Elle est précisément une réflexion sur l'histoire de cette parole et de ses formes multiples d'émission. Le théâtre devient une fenêtre ouverte sur l'univers fabuleux de cet imaginaire populaire qui intègre pleinement la tradition orale avec ses diverses formes de productions. Alloula, Benissa, Fellag et tant d'autres dramaturges, désireux de prendre en main la culture de leur pays, dévoilent le souci de donner un souffle nouveau à cet art populaire. Ils tentent ainsi de maîtriser le réel, de lancer un appel aux hommes, de transformer le monde, en faisant preuve de solidarité et de lucidité. Un théâtre montrant l'homme à partir des données par lesquelles et dans lesquelles il vitPopular culture is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artistic productions in Algeria. Poets, painters, novelists and playwrights draw their raw material from this treasure with a concern for updating the traditional modes of communication which, day after day, are threatened of extinction through the modernisation of society. Kaki, as well as Kateb, illustrates the utilisation of the mythical springboard to unearth a new world. The coming up to the ancients' world is an investigation to discover a new speech. It is precisely a reflection on the history of this speech and on its various forms of voicing. The theatre becomes an open window to the fabulous universe of this popular imaginary which fully integrates the oral tradition with its various forms of production. Alloula, Benissa, Fellag and so many other playwrights, avid for taking in hands the culture of their country, unveil the concern for giving a new breath to this popular art. So they attempt to master the reality, to appeal to men, to transform the world by showing proof of solidarity and clear-mindedness.

Full textAbstract:
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht das Feld der Außenkulturpolitik. Unter diesem Begriff wurde bisher die Kulturpolitik eines Staates im Ausland verstanden. Diese Studie betrachtet jedoch nicht die traditionelle Außenkulturpolitik von Nationalstaaten, ihr Fokus liegt vielmehr auf außenkulturpolitischen Veränderungsprozessen im europäischen Raum, die aus einer transnationalen Perspektive betrachtet werden. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet die Feststellung, dass die außenkulturpolitischen Institutionen in Europa mit ihren historisch gestellten Aufgaben und starren bürokratischen Strukturen den gegenwärtigen sozio-politischen Anforderungen nicht gerecht werden. Diese Studie betrachtet, wie die außenkulturellen Institutionen mit dieser Situation umgehen und welche Veränderungen daraus für das Feld der internationalen Kulturbeziehungen resultieren. Um diesen Prozess zu verdeutlichen, wird im Rahmen einer Fallstudie erforscht, wie die nationalen Kulturinstitute in Brüssel zwischen 1998 und 2008 mit ihrer kritischen Situation als Kulturvermittler umgegangen sind. Im Fokus stehen jedoch nicht die einzelnen Kulturinstitute, sondern ein Verbund, der 1998 von sechs in Brüssel ansässigen Kulturinstituten gegründet wurde.
Die Fallstudie ist an die Beziehung und die Wechselwirkung zwischen drei kulturpolitischen Akteuren geknüpft: den Nationalstaaten der EU, der Europäischen Union und nationalen Kulturinstituten.

La pratique sportive féminine en tant qu'expression culturelle reste déterminée dans les sociétés musulmanes par des blocages et des résistances, d'ordre socio - culturelles, notamment par l'interprétation du religieux qui sera l'instance déterminante. Toute la structure de la société algérienne repose sur cette dynamique sociale de l'influence du culturel sur le social et le politique, lequel va définir le statut social de ïa femme dans la société. Mais, ce n'est pas une fatalité. Les préjugés s'éduquent et les institutions de socialisation ont un grand rôle à jouer pour faire avancer les mentalités, d'où l'intérêt de dévoiler ceux qui sont à l'origine de la transmission du discours idéologiques et qui doivent une part de leur efficacité au fait qu'ils restent masqués. Cette analyse de type sociologique et anthropologique se veut compréhensive de trois faits sociaux totaux : la femme, l'intégrisme islamiste qui renforce la tradition et le sportThe female sporting practice in so much than cultural expression remains determne ii the Moslem society a blockage and resistance, of a nature socio - cultural, in particular by the interpretation of the religious who will be the determining authority. All the structure on the Algerian company is based on this social dynamics of the influence of cultural on the social one and the policy, which will define the social status of the woman in the society. But, it is not a fatal. The prejudices are educated and the institutions of socialization have a great role to play to advance mentalities, from where the interest to reveal those which are at the origin of the transmission of the ideological speeches and which owe a share of their effectiveness with the fact that they remain masked. This analysis of type the sociological and anthropological wants to be understanding of three total social facts: the woman islamist integrism and the sport

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche porte sur la contextualisation de l’« éducation prénatale », connue en coréen sous le nom de «Taegyo », point de départ d’une « éducation tout au long de la vie ». Les deux axes principaux de cette étude sont : - L’analyse de la pratique éducative prénatale dans les sociétés traditionnelle et contemporaine. - L’analyse de l’évolution de l’éducation prénatale autour de notions telles que les valeurs, la croyance, l’influence de la spiritualité, la transmission du savoir, les rôles des parents, et les recommandations aux futurs parents. La méthodologie de recherche est constituée d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès de 10 couples coréens, de l’observation d’une classe d’étudiants universitaires qui suivent les cours d’éducation prénatale à Séoul, et de deux questionnaires auxquels ont répondu 91 étudiants sur leur représentation/connaissance de cette éducation. La thèse contribue à comprendre l’historique et les motivations de cette pratique séculaire en Corée, ainsi que les caractères et l’originalité de son usage actuel par les parents modernes. Les résultats révèlent que l’éducation prénatale préconise certains comportements aux parents, basés sur la paix, le respect, la protection, l’amour, et le bon développement de l’enfant à venir. Certaines vertus sont aussi mises en avant comme la bonté, la coopération et la maîtrise de soiThis research focuses on the contextualization of the "prenatal education", known in Korean as the " Taegyo", starting point of "lifelong education ". The two main axes are : - The analysis of the educational practice of prenatal education in traditional society and contemporary society. - The analysis of the evolution of prenatal education about value, belief, the influence of spirituality, the transmission of knowledge, the roles of parents and recommendations for future parents. The research methodology was conducted by means of semi-structured interviews with 10 Korean couples, the observation of a group of university students following prenatal education classes in Seoul, and two questionnaires completed by 91 students on their representation / knowledge of this education. This thesis contributes to understand the history and motivations of this age-old practice in Korea, and the characters and the originality of its current use for modern parents. The results show that prenatal education advocates certain behaviors to parents, based on peace, respect, protection, love and the good development of the unborn child. Some virtues are also highlighted as kindness, cooperation and self-control

Full textAbstract:
From antiquity to the present, music and oral tradition have been of utmost importance in Berber culture, proving as the main vehicle for disseminating news and ideas between villages and preserving culture. Thus, it is only natural that music would prove to be a main tool of the Berber Culture Movement that seeks cultural recognition under oppressive and hegemonic Arab-Islamic authorities in the region, which have sought to squash cultural plurality since the end of European colonialism. This thesis explores how politically engaged Berber musicians rally their people to the Berber culture and identity by taking that which is inherently and fundamentally Berber tradition and reworking it to give it modern value, a quality that the Arab- Islamic states have denied the Berber people. Musicians embody the historical Berber tradition of providing ethical insight to their people via poetry, and have become the voice of a movement. Music is one of the central means through which the Berber culture remains alive and thriving, and it is intriguing artists and activists from around the globe.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOREste trabalho tem por objetivo estimular o debate a respeito da comunicação e do consumo de bens de luxo. A partir da análise das configurações de uso dos discursos e narrativas de um grupo de informantes nativos - produtores e consumidoras de bens de luxo -, pretende-se investigar um conjunto de representações e relacionamentos sociais que se manifestam dentro de um imaginário contemporâneo que define padrões de bom gosto, beleza e sucesso. Entendendo que o consumo de bens de luxo é um processo que classifica e categoriza seus usuários coletivamente; é lançado um olhar quanto à produção de hierarquizações, significados e subjetividades na cultura de massa a partir das apropriações sociomidiáticas acerca do luxo. Distinção, poder e prestígio aparecem como noções centrais na construção deste paradigma que se perpetua ao contemplar a ordem social, conferindo ares de renovação estética e atualização ao sentido de tradição.
The objective of this research is to provoke new scholarly debate as it relates to the communication and the consumption of luxury goods. Parting from the analysis concerning key configurations on the uses of speeches and narratives of a group of native informers -producers and consumers of luxury goods -, it is intended to investigate a set of representations and social relationships revealed inside of a contemporary imaginary which defines the ideal standards of goodtaste, beauty and success. Understanding that the consumption of luxury goods is a process that classifies and categorizes its users collectively; it has launched a look onto the production of hierarchies, meanings and subjectivity within the realm of mass culture and the media`s appropriations pertaining to the luxury universe. Distinction, power, and prestige appear as central notions to the construction of this paradigm which perpetuates itself by contemplating social order as it confers airs of aesthetic renewal and continuous updating to the sense of tradition.

Full textAbstract:
The signifiers, ‘race’, ‘culture’ or ‘ethnicity’ are utilized in the teenage pregnancy literature (1) to highlight ‘differences’ in adolescent sexual and reproductive behaviour and (2) as explanatory tools. When ‘white’ teenagers are the focus of research, psychological explanations are usually invoked, while for ‘black’ teenagers, explanations are socio-cultural in nature. In this paper, we explore how, through a process of racialization, the psycho-medical literature on teenage pregnancy in South Africa contributes to the entrenchment of ‘race’, ‘culture’ and ‘ethnicity’ as fixed, ‘natural’ signifiers. We utilize Derrida’s notion of différance, together with Phoenix and Woollett’s adaptation – ‘normalized absence/pathologized presence’ – to indicate how ‘black’ people are cast as the Other, the pathologized presence which relies on the normalized absent trace, ‘whiteness’, for definition. We analyse how the notions of ‘tradition’ and ‘culture’ are deployed to sanitize or disguise the underlying racializing project. ‘Black’ is exoticized and rendered strange and thus open to scrutiny, monitoring and intervention. ‘Culture’ and ‘tradition’ appeal to the myth of origin, thus providing pseudo-historical explanations which essentialize and naturalize racialized collectivities.Rhodes University

Makhlouf, Hassane. "La culture du Cannabis sativa L. Au Liban : entre tradition et répression." Paris, Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998MNHN0019.
Full textAbstract:
Le cannabis est connu au Liban depuis plusieurs siècles. Sa culture, à des fins économiques, prit de l'ampleur vers 1850 et devint, au milieu du XXe siècle, l'une des principales cultures de la région de la Bekaa'. Les autorités libanaises essayaient, souvent par la force, d'abolir le cannabis du pays. Cependant, cette culture traditionnelle résista à toutes les tentatives d'élimination et sa pratique se propagea dans toutes les zones pauvres du Liban. La situation socio-économique très précaire dans laquelle se trouvaient les paysans, l'absence totale d'une politique agricole adéquate et la rentabilité souvent assurée du cannabis, furent les causes de l'extension de cette plante. Aujourd'hui, et malgré les efforts déployés pour la répression, la culture du cannabis reste toujours présente dans la plaine de la Bekaa' et notamment dans les zones isolées. Ceci est dû, essentiellement, a l'absence d'alternatives. En effet, aucune aide concrète pour la reconversion n'a été proposée aux paysans en contre partie de la destruction de leurs champs de cannabis et la conséquence de cette politique répressive fut la dégradation totale de leurs conditions de vie. L'élimination de la culture du cannabis au Liban ne peut se faire que par un projet de développement alternatif global. Il aura pour but l'amélioration de l'infrastructure (sante, école) des zones productrices de cannabis afin d'alléger les charges sociales qui pèsent sur les paysans. Ce projet devra être accompagne par une nouvelle politique agricole cohérente, visant l'introduction de nouvelles cultures susceptibles de remplacer le cannabis et de créer un cycle économique transparent et indépendant de l'argent noir. Malheureusement, aucune volonté réelle, dans ce sens, ne se manifeste de la part des responsables libanais, et les régions productrices du cannabis s'enfoncent de plus en plus dans la pauvreté et le sous-développement, risquant ainsi des désordres politico-sociaux dans un pays ou l'équilibre est très fragile

Full textAbstract:
Après avoir constaté l'attente grandissante des enfants en matière de contes traditionnels à partir d'une pratique de classe, nous tentons de découvrir à quoi le conte traditionnel peut devoir sa pertinence éducative persistante. Nous recherchons alors l'essence du conte traditionnel dans sa valeur symbolique évaluée selon trois critères : rattachement, diffusion, éveil. Postulant l'hypothèse du fondement anthropologique du conte, nous trouvons grâce à notre enquête, parmi les douze contes traditionnels les plus racontés par les enseignants; quatre albums du Père Castor, histoires retravaillées par M. Bouchor afin d'en augmenter la portée morale. Cette modification des contes émanant du pouvoir en place pose le problème du rapport étroit existant entre les finalités de l'enseignement et le pouvoir du moment. Cherchant à comprendre pouquoi les contes traditionnels restent malgré tout actuels, nous tentons de bien différencier l'évènementiel, lié à l'histoire personnelle de chacun ou le côté psychologique, et le substantiel, lié à la tradition, ou le côté anthropologique. Puis, à partir du contenu des douze contes se répartissant de manière parfaitement égale en deux thèmes : insécurité et sécurité, nous pénétrons l'univers des animaux représentant les traits fondamentaux de l'être humain. Ainsi, la mise en évidence de la transmission symbolique du conte traditionnel nous fait préférer la posture anthropologique à la posture psychanalytique. Pour conclure, nous mettons en évidence la relation existant entre conte traditionnel, école et culture, et nous soulignons la nécessité d'une pédagogie de la Tradition Orale fondée sur trois piliers : oralité, oralisation, orature.

This work is a comprehensive study of the Sephardic Romancero and the historical, political and cultural elements that have contributed to the maintenance of the romance tradition in Sephardic life. The investigation begins with an overview of the past studies of the Sephardic Romancero and is followed by a survey of the history of the Sephardic Jews, both in Spain and in the Spanish Diaspora. An historical approach to the literary and linguistic aspects of the Sephardic Romancero follows and this approach is then applied to a musical study. The concluding chapter discusses the uses and functions of the romancero in the Sephardic world, particularly among the Sephardic women and the social processes that have contributed to the maintenance of the romance tradition in Sephardic culture.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, art education has started an on-going discussion on the issue of visual culture. In the past few years this issue also becomes topical due to the necessity to improve art education in Taiwan. Currently, art education based on visual culture has become a very important concern in Taiwan. However, the concept of visual culture has its origin in foreign theories. In order for our art professional to remain independent, it is essential that Taiwanese art teachers begin to address the issue of how to properly incorporate the concept of visual culture into the design of our art curriculum, by applying an educational method entirely based on the unique experiences of Taiwan. Responding to this need, I have tried in my current research to investigate the curriculum design model that is based on visual culture theories, and to combine it with a concept of cultural education that is uniquely Taiwanese. My hope is to provide a curriculum model that is based on native Taiwanese visual culture, which might ease the educators' efforts of turning theory into practice.Therefore, in the present study I will: (1) investigate the importance of applying visual culture to art education; (2) explore the suitability of applying the theory of visual culture to the design of art curriculum in Taiwan; (3) derive from this research a set of curriculum design principles based on the ideas of visual culture art education, which can be applied and linked to the cultural characteristics of Taiwan.

Cette these examine les contes et legendes recueillis dans le canton de vaison-la-romaine dans le cadre d'une collecte ethnographique, et tente de cerner les phenomenes de variabilite a court et moyen terme dans ce type de litterature orale. A partir d'un apercu de geographie humaine et d'histoirelocale, nous observons les liens entre recits locaux et milieu socioculturel, pour etablir la fonction des contes dans le milieu etudie. Le conte comme la legnede ne sont pas limites par leur imaginaire; ils expriment des connaissances sur l'homme et la vie sociale, a travers un ensemble coherent de mythes plus ou moins anciens et de croyances qui maintiennen l'harmonie et la cohesion dans la vie locale. Ils puisent souvent leurs materiaux dans la vie quotidienne, puis a travers une transmission selective developpent des elements pertinents qui construisent l'identite collective d'une communaute. Dans un siecle ou les mutations sont extremement rapides, la tradition orale reste un objet d'etude fondamental; a travers les diverses stratifications du discours, elle exprime la dynamique permanente de la parole.

The purpose of the study was to investigate, using data from the sacerdotal culture, t h espouses of five priests. The main questions were: How does the priestly calling affect thespouse? Do the spouses involve themselves with voluntary work? Do the spouses feel thecongregation have expectations? Do the female and male answers differ?The sacerdotal culture has consisted of several elements. The main element is the priest’scalling for his work. As far as the spouse is concerned within the congregation, the spouseshave been seen as necessary for voluntary work. The congregation has also expected thespouse to act in a certain way and to undertake certain tasks.How the five informants feel about and react to the sacerdotal culture is focus for this study.The study shows that the sacerdotal culture is still strong today and it is something that thespouses take into account. They can choose not to participate but that might involve, forinstance, having to live somewhere else. The study found that the calling affects the femaleinformants, but not so much the males. The amount of participation varies from spouse tospouse and is a matter of their own choice. Expectations can also vary and participation inthe congregation can create higher expectations.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the symphony in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France by way of individual chapters on the period's seven most influential and frequently performed works: Camille Saint-Saens's Third Symphony (1885-86), Cesar Franck's Symphony in D minor (1887-88), Edouard Lalo's Symphony in G minor (1886), Vincent d'Indy's Symphonie sur un chant montagnard franrcais (1886) and Second Symphony (1902-03), Ernest Chausson's Symphony in B-flat (1890), and Paul Dukas's Symphony in C (1896). Beethoven established the primary paradigm for these works in his Third, Fifth; and Ninth Symphonies, and the principal historical issue I address is how French composers reconciled this paradigm with their own aesthetic priorities within the musical and cultural climate of fin-de-siecle France.Previous critics have viewed this repertoire primarily with limited structuralist methodologies. The results have often been unhappy: all of these symphonies are in some ways formally idiosyncratic and individual, and their non-conforming aspects have tended to puzzle or disappoint. My study draws on recent methods developed by Warren Darcy, Scott Burnham, and others that emphasize the dynamic and teleological qualities of musical form. This more supple approach allows a fuller appreciation of the subtle and sophisticated ways in which individual works unfold formally, and the spectrum of procedures French composers employed.
My study demonstrates that the factors shaping the French symphony in this period included imperatives of progress as well as the popularity of the symphonic poem. Some of the earlier symphonists covered in this study also felt the need to confront Wagner's influential theoretical writings: mid -century he had famously proclaimed the death of the symphony. As many writers have argued, the archetypal heroic "plot" that Beethoven's symphonies express embodies the subject-laden values---notions of individual freedom and faith in the self---that prevailed in his time. Different inflections of this plot by French symphonists, I argue, reflect the variegated ways fin-de-siec1e French culture had received these values.

D'un point de vue theorique, qui pourrait etre defini comme bourdienno-gramscien, nous analysons le mouvement de la nouvelle chanson chilienne de 1960 a 1975. Pour cette periode, nous mettons en relation le champ de producteurs avec le champ de consommateurs, dans le but de mieux articuler les facteurs exterieurs et interieurs de cette experience culturelle. Des categories telles que "champ", "acteurs sociaux" ou "agents", "marche", "hegemonie", etc. . . , sont utilisees pour decrire et developper une des plus importantes conclusions de cette recherche, c'est a dire, que l'action creative de tous les agents culturels a permis, pendant cette periode, la modernisation de la chanson chilienne, tout en preservant les valeurs culturelles traditionnelles les plus importantes. A partir de ce moment-la, tradition et modernite sont devenues les facteurs essentiels du developpement culturel chilien dans le domaine de la chansonFrom a theoretical perspective, that could be defined as bourdienno-gramscienne, we analyse the new chilean song mouvement from 1960 to 1975. For this period, we brought into relation the producers and the consummers fields, in order to best articulate the externals and the internals factors of this cultural experience. Categories such as "field", "social actors" or "agents", "market", "hegemonie", etc. . . , are used to describe and develop one of the most important conclusions of the research, i. E. , that the creative action of all the cultural agents, allowed, during this period, the modernisation of the chilean song, together with the preservation of the main traditional cultural values. Since then, tradition and modernity have become essential factors of the chilean cultural developement in the field of song

Kanadisches Tagebuch [Journal canadien] écrit par Else Seel a été publié en Allemagne en 1964 par une maison d'édition peu connue. Le livre est écrit en allemand et, comme le suggère le titre, est un journal littéraire. Il relate 24 ans de la vie d'une immigrante allemande qui, au début du siècle, s'est établie, tout comme d'autres colons, dans les régions sauvages de la Colombie-Britannique. Non seulement c'est l'oeuvre la plus importante d'Else Seel mais c'est aussi un des exemples les plus significatifs de la littérature canadienne-allemande. Dans le cadre de la littérature canadienne, cette étude examine le journal d'Else Seel en visant trois contextes importants: la fonction des éléments génériques de la littérature personnelle, tout particulièrement du journal littéraire, la portée de l'expérience "canadienne," spécialement l'expérience de la "frontière" entre la civilisation et les régions sauvages, et finalement l'importance de la perspective féminine à travers le moi éprouvant et le moi se racontant. La recherche s'effectue en différentes étapes. Premièrement on définit le genre spécifique du journal par rapport à la littérature personnelle en général. Ce processus requiert l'identification de certains traits distinctifs du genre littéraire en terme de catégories telles le temps raconté et le temps narratif, la position de l'auteur dans l'espace, la focalisation du moi ou de la réalité et, enfin, le lecteur à qui le genre est adressé. La différence entre le mode mimétique et le mode diégétique de présentation s'avère particulièrement important lorsque le genre est rendu fictif.

This study is about tradition-innovation and culture reconstruction. Based on the grounded theory, this study reexamined the development of Hakka dress from tradition to innovation by using documents analysis, participant observation and in-depth interview. The purposes were to explore the characteristics of Hakka dress culture, and to find out the strategies to transform and reconstruct it in the contemporary society. This study began from the social psychological perspective of clothing that how humans in various contexts use appearance management to shape self-identity. On the analysis, Hakka dress was considered as “the sign system that Hakka choose collectively to create Hakka culture and to express ethnic identity in specific contexts.” The researcher analyzed the material characteristics of dress which were already regarded as “tradition of Hakka” first, and then explored the social meanings and cultural spirits of these dress within historical and social contexts of Hakka, and found that Hakka women's succinct, plain and functional traditional dress reflects and supports the establishment of Hakka social structure and social order, and also express and enhance Hakka's industrious and frugal cultural spirit, and then develop the dress idea of“emphasizing economy and utility, deemphasizing flauntiness and luxury”，and aesthetic preferences toward simple, natural, rational, and plain. After that, the researcher observed the phenomenon of changing and developing of Hakka dress culture in the contemporary society and investigated the reasons why traditional and remade Hakka dress fail to keep on using or being identified and widely accepted. Finally, the researcher put forward the reconstruction strategies that Hakka image dress and Hakka fashion dress working along with each other according to people’s real clothing needs within the contemporary social context. Moreover, the researcher suggested refining and establishing the cultural spirits, aesthetic concepts of Hakka dress into Hakka aesthetic style, and transformed it into the fashionable dress brand spirit and managed it over a long period of time in order to achieve the goal of reconstructing and continuing the vitality of Hakka dress culture.

In the changing society, consumers keep changing their choices on purchasing products with time flow. However, consumers’ fondness of products is based on the images that products show. Therefore, how to transfer consumers’ favorite images into modeling design in the market becomes a significant topic. Furthermore, based on the topic, innovation turns to be crucial for how to create the best products that consumers are willing to buy. The research employs the world-popular Kansei Engineering which originates in Japan and transfers emotional images that purchasers need into modeling design. Moreover, by integrating the popular product design and the cultural creativity of Taiwan aboriginals, the fascinating and innovative product is thereby formed. In the past, the outlooks of laptops have been evolved from square and heavy to light and textural. Style becomes the decisive point of competitive laptop selling. This study takes laptops as the target and applies the former operation on it. It not only establishes the relationship of consumers’ emotions and design elements, but also adds in the representative graphics of Taiwan aboriginal culture to create a type of laptop that touches consumers.

Sesame has been a familiar ingredient in Chinese diets for thousands of years. It has become an inseparable component in the Taiwanese cuisines not only in snacks but also in the health preserving medicinal dishes in our daily lives. Moreover, cooking styles are different through generations to generations. Furthermore, after the exotic cuisine and innovative ways of cooking are introduced into Taiwanese market, the traditional cuisines are challenging by the innovative food currently. After sesame was brought into China, it has the inseparable relations with Chinese pharmacology and Taoism. It has two usages, one is for the medicinal purpose and the other is for Taoist food to become god. Whilst developing the integration of multi-cultures, the understandings of sesames for most of the people still stayed on the points of the health, preventive Chinese medicine, convalescence and so on. Nowadays, the sesame plays an important role in Taiwanese Folk diet. On the one hand, it gives different meanings on the food in the festivals. On the other hand, it is mainly used in the tonic food for self-health perception. The study is conducted by snowball sampling, semi-structured interviews and participant observation so as to explore four structures in the following areas: the farmers’ associations of original planted places, oil industry, catering industry and consumers. In addition, the development of the sesame and the eating behaviors of consumers on traditional and innovative cuisine are also discussed in this paper. The study concluded that the runners in the catering industry and consumers would choose food based on their previous consumption experiences. They will consider sesame’s healthy characteristics. Since the innovative cuisines are everywhere, compared to the elder consumers, the young groups generally could accept the innovative sesame cuisine. However, the consumers who are above 50years old will still chose the traditional sesame cuisines instead of the innovative food. The phenomenon could be considered that the habits on food consumption is still influenced by the previous experiences. In order to cater the tastes of the customers, operators often emphasize the high visibility of the products and raise the discussion in the market. These marketing strategies create the blind spots and form the marketing myopia on the product inventions. The improvement of supply and demand rules in catering will develop the ‘coexistence’ of traditional sesame food and innovative sesame cuisine in the market and provides more choice for consumers.

Text in EnglishMost Xhosa people experience the condition of feeling dislocated and confused when choosing a spiritual belief between Christianity and Xhosa ancestral traditions. This study uses the concept of diaspora to describe the mental dislocation that people whose culture has changed experience. This study is based on the phenomenon of diaspora as a state of identity in the contemporary cultural identity of amaXhosa, the people of the Eastern Cape Province, by exploring the interrelationship between the key concepts, namely, identity, culture, land, and home as they relate to ancestral worship and Christian practice. Two installation artworks by Bill Viola and Nicholas Hlobo were selected for a comparative analysis under the spectacle of Xhosa ancestral tradition. In this study, I seek to understand how identity is constructed within a particular geographical and ideological culture and how self-identity can be constituted through the construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction of cultural histories. Touching on notions of mediation, altar, and dislocation, this study uses Martin Buber’s concept of I AND THOU to weave the key concepts together.

Since the 90's economic globalization has been growing rapidly, economic globalization is conducive to the rational allocation of resources and factors of production in the world and to facilitate the global flow of capital and products, but in such a large production efficiency, how effective The use of warning labels and description word in each of the import and export products, so that it will not be because of cultural differences lead to different cognitive and can’t accurately convey the degree of risk of the product, resulting in the use of the product caused by dangerous accidents occur. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in the perceptions of danger between two different cultural groups. The research method is a questionnaire, in which the experimental questions are presented in the native language. All participants completed three tasks in the following order: warning label rating, item rating and warning label matching with the item. 1. For the warning label level rating task, participants rated the level of hazard ratings from 1 (not extreme) to 9 (extreme) for 12 warning labels. 2. For the items rating task, participants rated 40 items that were randomly selected from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS 2015), and the participants were rated hazard of items and four questions of perceived risk factor for items, They were severity, likelihood of injury, control of the item, and familiarity with the item. The participant were rated from 1 (not very __) to 9 (very ___), and all the participant were instructed to make their responses as quickly as they could. 3. For the matching task, each task will be presented with 12 warning labels to be selected for matching, but the position in the table is random, allowing participant to choose the label that best describes the hazard level. The results present that difference cultural have significant effects on warning labels and matching tasks, but the gender does not affect. In the warning label level rating task, except for labels“Notice”and“ BEWARE”, Taiwanese participants have a lower risk of cognition for labels than those Vietnamese participants. There is no difference between the two cultures in the risk of direct rating items. In the matching task, Taiwanese participants tend to match the lower level of warning labels, but Vietnamese participants match more accurate warning level to the label. The low severity increases the likelihood of a low risk rating relative to moderate risk levels, and high severity and low familiarity factors increase the likelihood of choosing high-risk cognition. Key words: Perceived risk factor, Cultural difference, Warning label.

The invention of electronic and digital products also influences the attitude and opinion of people about arts in an implicit way. The arts of decoration and digital images which related to arts are replenished in the artistic circles and eventually change the original mood of arts. Perhaps the great progress in art and the works of art created by extreme concept will make this old profession collapse in the future. May be such worry in only groundless. The elegance traditional arts receive less preferences and support by the young people in comparison with the arts in fashion. The civilized society certainly will not result a destitute condition in spirit. Once art Combined with technology , the simple and naïve arts of ordinary will be developed. How to promote the traditional folk art to a new boundary and provide art with new visual impression are the goal of modern artists. In addition, traditional arts combined with new technology are not confusions but are coordination in the performance of arts.

In this study, the researcher adopted the qualitative interview to collect and analyze the data. There were five Taiwanese participants. Besides, each of them had studied in an English-speaking country between two to ten years, and came back to Taiwan for at least eighteen months. In this study, the researcher found that the important factors of reverse culture shock include: (1) age of going abroad, (2) the reasons of going abroad and returning, (3) the duration abroad, and (4) their jobs back in Taiwan. Those who went abroad at an earlier age, were reluctant to return, and spent longer time abroad were found to have more interpersonal relationship problems. Their attitude toward life back to Taiwan affects their reverse culture adjustment.

We often see the description of Taiwan''s traditional culture in Taiwanese movies. Film is one of the most costly and influential ways of communication in many media channels. But the description and historical facts of Taiwanese culture in Taiwanese movies have error and mistake. It will let audience to absorb information not correctly in this way. And Taiwan''s cultural and creative industries have sprung up in the past few years because of Taiwanese government pushing. But when you look carefully, you can find that Taiwan''s cultural and creative goods seem short of certain research, and the meaning of cultural and creative goods is not direct at Taiwan''s existing culture, but the product designer gives its own meaning. This study belongs to the exploration of social phenomena and facts. Therefore, it used non-structured interviews in the method of qualitative research. This research is based on the literature, and then designed the preliminary interview outline. However, this study requires respondents to share their numerous experiences and ideas, so when I designed this preliminary interview outline, I kept some space for respondents to answer, and will not completely limit the respondents'' answers. I will add a few questions based on the respondents'' answers, in the hope of inducing more relevant content. According to the results of the interviews, this study finds that there is an association between the process of designing the product of Taiwanese culture and the transmission of Taiwanese movies. Because of the mistakes in the transmission of the Taiwanese movies , and the respondents generally believe that Taiwan is in a multicultural society, there will naturally be some differences. In this difference, Taiwan’s cultural and creative industries are distortion when designing goods.
