Texto completoThis dissertation aims at verifying the processes of historical and biographical transposition to three plays by Irish playwright Frank McGuinness, Innocence (1986), Mutabilitie (1997) and Speaking like Magpies (2005), and the interculturality resulting from them. It is also based on the hypothesis that all of the processes are structured from the fictionalization of the data contained in historical and biographical texts about the issues dealt with in each of these theatrical plays, as a way to criticize the narratives that target objectivity. In this study, it has been noticed that, in inconclusive reports and in the profiles of a famous Italian painter, of a renowned English poet, and of a controversial Scottish king of England, modeled in the Renaissance according to their works and deeds, the playwright found an opportunity to show history and biography from the Irish perspective.

Texto completoOne goal of community ecology is to examine proximate and ultimate factors driving interactions between species. Part of this work addresses breeding bird aggregations, termed nesting associations. I evaluated costs and benefits of nesting along an association gradient in smaller black-billed magpies (Pica hudsonia) and larger American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) over two nesting seasons in Jackson, Wyoming. Specifically, I explored mechanisms of proximate protective benefits gained by magpies nesting nearer crows, along with foraging costs of associating with crow competitors. I also evaluated ultimate influences of association on nesting success for crows and magpies. Protection can operate under two non-exclusive proximate mechanisms, termed predator exclusion and information transfer. I found both mechanisms influenced nest protection for magpies. Crows performed more defensive behaviors at magpie nests nearer their own nests, and magpies responded to crow defensive signals. However, I did not find fitness benefits for magpies related to nesting nearer or farther from crows. I also explored the competitive foraging costs of heterospecific nesting associations by quantifying resource discovery behaviors and providing novel resource extraction problems to crows and magpies. Crows and magpies behaviors differed related to resource extraction problems such that magpies were less neophobic than crows. However, magpies paid a cost, measured as higher food losses to kleptoparasitism, for nesting nearer to crows. Further, crows came to dominate shared resources initially discovered by magpies. These results highlight potential foraging benefits to crows for associating with magpies. Despite these proximate benefits, crows also did not have greater nesting success when nesting nearer to magpies. Crows also experienced proximate costs to associating, measured as increased defensive behaviors and longer latencies to complete more complex resource extraction problems when nearer to magpies. I found that crow nesting success was related to success of associated conspecifics, but was not related to the number of defenders participating in nest defense. In my study system of crows and magpies, both species experienced benefits and costs to nesting nearer a heterospecific associate. However, costs and benefits may balance each other out such that there is no observable difference in fitness for either species based on association.

Texto completoThis report describes how today's technological processes look like in the production of applications for interactive publications. An interactive publication is a digitally created magazine with an extra layer of information that you can interact with. Examples of interactivity is slideshows and video and data streams in real time that are displayed directly in the magazine. The report focuses on what it is that adds value to a digital interactive publication, and what functions which may provide cause to this. Through a comparative analysis of digital publications and the newspapers, four designaspects have been developed as an basis for how the interactive elements should be handled in the production of digital publications. A prototype of an interactive publication was developed to show how the designaspects can be applied and to show how information can be presented in a more interactive way.

Texto completoThis dissertation deals with Salman Rushdie’s self-professed magpie tendency as displayed in both his literary writings and critical pronouncements. One of its main purposes is to draw attention to a dimension of Rushdie’s oeuvre that has often been mentioned, but has not been subjected to consistent scrutiny – the transgression of the high/low cultural divide and, beyond that, the actual debunking of the artificiality of that divide through parody and pastiche. Furthermore, this dissertation interrelatedly addresses the roles assumed by the writer of cultural broker, gatekeeper, and mediator in various spheres of public production; in particular, it looks at the roles performed across various creative platforms including, besides those of novelist and short story writer, those of public intellectual, reviewer, and film critic. Examining the issue of cultural brokerism in Rushdie’s life and work, this study positions itself in a line of a growing body of scholarship which has been situating the contemporary production, circulation, and consumption of postcolonial texts within the sinuous workings of cultural industries. The need to assess such processes taking place in a market strictly regulated by a few multinational corporations proves essential when approaching a postcolonial author both personally and professionally enmeshed in the dealings of the cultural industries, and in such critical assessment lies, I believe, the relevance of this dissertation for the area of contemporary cultural studies. What the present study contends is that marginality should not be construed exclusively as a basis for understanding Rushdie’s work, as a critical grounding in marginality will predictably involve a reproduction of the traditional postcolonial binaries of oppressor/oppressed and coloniser/colonised the writer subverts altogether. Ultimately, this dissertation endeavours to be part of what I feel is a much needed renaissance of Rushdie criticism by attempting to add new critical itineraries and frameworks of interpretation of the writer’s work today, itineraries and frameworks that take into account the actual conditions of postcolonial cultural production and circulation within a marketplace which is global in both orientation and effects.
Esta dissertação pretende examinar a autodenominada ‚magpie tendency‛ de Salman Rushdie, revelada nos seus textos literários e na sua crítica. Propõe-se, em primeiro lugar, analisar uma dimensão da obra rushdiana que, apesar de muito referida, não foi ainda sujeita a um estudo devidamente aprofundado: o transgredir de uma antiga separação entre ‚alta‛ cultura e cultura popular e, para além disso, o evidenciar do carácter artificial daquela distinção pelo recurso à paródia e ao pastiche. Paralelamente, examinam-se os papéis assumidos pelo escritor enquanto agente e mediador cultural nas várias esferas da sua produção pública. O enfoque centra-se nos papéis desempenhados no contexto de várias plataformas criativas que incluem, para além daquelas que decorrem do papel de romancista e de escritor de narrativas curtas, as que lhes estão ligadas enquanto intelectual, autor de recensões críticas e comentador de cinema. Ao examinar a questão da mediação cultural na vida e obra de Rushdie, este trabalho posiciona-se em linha com um crescente número de estudos que tem vindo a situar a actual produção, circulação e consumo de textos pós-coloniais no âmbito das operações das indústrias de cultura. A necessidade de avaliar tais processos, que ocorrem num mercado estritamente regulado por poucas corporações, afigura-se determinante quando se procura analisar a vida e obra de um autor pós-colonial envolvido, tanto pessoal como profissionalmente, nas transacções das indústrias de cultura, e é neste exame crítico que cremos residir a pertinência desta dissertação no contexto dos estudos culturais contemporâneos. A investigação recente ligada à produção cultural pós-colonial, numa época em que é notória uma dinâmica cada vez mais complexa de trocas à escala global, foi instigada por estudos como: Critique of Exotica (2000) de John Hutnyk, The Postcolonial Exotic (2001) de Graham Huggan e Postcolonial Writers in the Global Literary Marketplace (2007) de Sarah Brouillette, para referir apenas três. Os seus projectos críticos complementares – em particular, a sua fundamentação conceptual na noção de ‚mercado‛ e a perspectiva bourdieusiana de ‚campo‛ adoptada por Huggan e Brouillette – exerceram um forte impacto na presente pesquisa. O trabalho desenvolvido por Hutnyk foi de igual forma crucial na procura de uma perspectiva crítica sobre a interacção entre a pós-colonialidade e a leitura freudo-marxista encetada por Theodor W. Adorno da economia política da indústria da cultura. Na verdade, os debates concorrentes gerados por aquelas três obras auxiliaram-nos a definir a matéria da investigação ora apresentada e foram, como tal, instrumentais, desde o início, na delimitação e estabelecimento do enquadramento teórico deste estudo. Pelo que disse, esta dissertação pretende situar-se no âmbito da reconfiguração dos modos de análise cultural que têm vindo a examinar as operações das indústrias do exótico (Hutnyk 5), da alteridade (Huggan x) e da pós-colonialidade (Brouillette 20) na construção e negociação da diferença cultural em geral. Uma abordagem crítica do ‚mainstreaming‛ da literatura pós-colonial envolve, como Huggan e Brouillette argumentam persuasivamente, questões relacionadas com a mercantilização da diferença, para além de implicar questões ligadas à resistência em relação a estruturas de poder neocoloniais. Em última análise, será que a literatura pós-colonial resiste ou reproduz a lógica do mercado literário global? Até que ponto estarão as forças de mercado a orientar um processo de formação do cânone envolvendo autores pós-coloniais? Pretende-se sugerir respostas para estas e outras questões, examinando as manobras em acção no espaço das formações culturais e práticas textuais diaspóricas sul-asiáticas. As análises críticas encetadas por Hutnyk, Huggan e Brouillette baseiam-se na premissa materialista de que a produção cultural pós-colonial tem que ser vista à luz das suas mediações económicas. A ênfase destas análises recai sobretudo nos processos de mercantilização da diferença no âmbito das esferas públicas transnacionais (especificamente nas inquietudes que surgem do que se percepciona ser uma neutralização das erupções políticas e do potencial subversivo associado às expressões pós-coloniais) e também nas estratégias envolvidas no capitalizar do ‚exótico‛ num panorama cultural cada vez mais globalizado. Na esteira da teorização elaborada por Homi Bhabha, a resistência pós-colonial é recorrentemente encarada nos termos da ambivalência ou hibridismo disruptores das oposições binárias que estão na base do exercício do poder. Defende-se neste estudo que o carácter marginal da obra de Rushdie não deve ser entendido exclusivamente como a base para a compreensão daquele corpus, na medida em que uma fundamentação crítica naquela marginalidade conduzirá de forma iniludível a uma reprodução dos tradicionais binarismos pós-coloniais de opressor/oprimido e colonizador/colonizado que o escritor procura subverter inequivocamente. O que aqui se sugere é uma saída do labirinto do ‚hybridity-talk‛ (Hutnyk 33), entendido como base para a compreensão do trabalho de Rushdie. Nesta dissertação procura-se ser parte daquilo que consideramos ser um muito necessário renascimento dos estudos dedicados a Rushdie, procurando acrescentar novos itinerários críticos e enquadramentos interpretativos da obra do escritor, itinerários e enquadramentos que tenham em consideração as efectivas condições da produção e circulação cultural pós-colonial, no contexto de um mercado que é global, tanto na sua orientação como nos seus efeitos. Assim, questionam-se as análises deste corpus que se concentram exclusivamente nas questões de hibridismo cultural, migração, e ‚writing back‛ pós-colonial para propor uma crítica destas mesmas categorias analíticas, considerando em simultâneo o significado fundamental do questionar da distinção entre ‚alta‛ cultura e cultura popular no desenvolvimento destas problem{ticas. Olhar a obra de Rushdie desta forma permitir-nos-á ter em atenção a transgressão das fronteiras no seu âmago e também apreender as possibilidades transformativas inerentes ao contacto, neste particular, entre a ‚alta‛ cultura, tradicionalmente elitista, e a cultura popular, tradicionalmente ligada às massas. Num corpus aberto a leituras múltiplas, a selecção de um enfoque de análise deixa inevitavelmente por examinar algum material e por ouvir algumas interpretações oriundas de outras posições críticas. Contudo, espera-se contribuir para a revitalização de um campo que, saturado pela repetição dos mesmos temas, tem permanecido pouco inventivo há tempo demais. Com o propósito de explorar a ‚magpie tendency‛ de Rushdie e os papéis inter-relacionados assumidos pelo escritor enquanto mediador cultural, esta dissertação procede à aplicação de uma crítica baseada em teorias adornianas das práticas culturais pós-coloniais acima descritas. Tal como foi originariamente formulado por Adorno e Max Horkheimer no início dos anos 40 do século XX, a ‚indústria da cultura‛ é uma estrutura guiada pelos imperativos capitalistas do lucro, que manipula as massas no intuito de as induzir à passividade através da produção, ao estilo de uma fábrica, de bens culturais estandardizados. O que nos interessa neste âmbito não é tanto o centrar a análise naquilo que os críticos têm interpretado como uma tendência para uniformizar a indústria da cultura, tal como foi referido em variadíssimos estudos, nem é nossa intenção sancionar uma leitura simplista da cultura popular baseada na sujeição e na ausência de autodeterminação por parte dos produtores culturais e das audiências que alegadamente resultaram da racionalização fordista das práticas culturais. Ao invés, interessam-nos a constituição dinâmica e conflituante das ‚indústrias culturais,‛ um conceito potencialmente mais abrangente do que aquele que foi elaborado originalmente pelos pensadores associados à Escola de Frankfurt ou, pelo menos, um conceito mais congruente com uma paisagem dominada por corporações à escala global, com os seus próprios circuitos sistémicos de troca cultural. Tendo em conta que a teoria crítica freudo-marxista se baseia fortemente no potencial analítico do conceito de mercantilização para uma reconversão dialéctica da cultura contemporânea, talvez seja produtivo retornar a estas teorias de forma a religar capital global, hibridismo cultural e resistência pós-colonial num contexto de políticas de representação em constante mutação. Com referência particular à obra de Rushdie, esta dissertação posiciona-se no centro de políticas de poder e de representação que não pretendem opor o ‚Ocidente‛ ao ‚Oriente,‛ mas pretendem atingir um entendimento mais complexo (que não poderia, de modo algum, confinar-se a estas duas estruturas discursivas) da produção cultural pós-colonial e do seu engendrar de perspectivas neo-orientalistas e re-orientalistas. Neste contexto, esta dissertação procura explorar os modos como os textos de Rushdie – tais como outras obras recentes que têm surgido da diáspora sul-asiática – reconstroem, manipulam e subvertem representações (re-)orientalistas. O que se procura analisar é, portanto, a renegociação de representações subversivas no contexto de diferentes noções de orientalismo e as consequentes inquietudes expressas por produtores culturais pós-coloniais, sendo Rushdie um caso exemplar.

"Bluird Says" is a 3D animation creation to deliver and pass on the beauty of Taiwan Blue Magpie’s characteristics. The core element of the story is based on the Blue Magpie’s unique habits of “Helpers at the nest system”. Combining with the humanistic Familism doctrine, it expresses the solidarity of family values in traditional Taiwanese societies. Using symbolic methods to express abstract philosophies, this creation expresses the association between roles and role interaction anthropomorphically, performing without any dialogue, through each character’s expressions, body language and with sound effects and music melodies as its methods of performances. The use of 3D cartoon style animation character modeling helps to show the story of Taiwan Blue Magpie in both real and fantasy ways.

National bird of Taiwan, the Formosan blue magpie (Urocissa caerulea) is an endemic species that inhabits only on Taiwan Island and nowhere else in the world. If the last of its kind disappears from Taiwan, it would mean the total extinction of the species. This paper is an attempt to show the magnificence of the Formosan blue magpie through literary discussions as well as works of painting, so that more people, both in Taiwan and aboard, could learn about the bird. The artworks as shown in this paper demonstrate artistic expressions of beauty, as well as function to bring people’s attention to environmental conservation. A summarize of each chapter in this paper is provided below: Chapter 1 delineates the background, purpose, methodology and range of the study. Chapter 2 reviews the history of traditional fine-brush painting of flowers and birds and provides an analysis on renowned works of the Formosan blue magpie from past to present. Chapter 3 focuses on the ecological aspect of the Formosan blue magpie, including its morphological characteristics, ecological habits and how it became an endemic bird of Taiwan. Chapter 4 provides a statement of my art, beginning from my training background and innovations to my artistic development and evolution of concepts in early, middle to advanced stages. Chapter 5 discusses individual works from different aspects, including approach, composition, coloration to form of expression and technique. Medium used and style of expression are also touched upon in this chapter. Finally Chapter 6 delivers a summary of my creative process, person reflections and self-examination as well as future prospects.

In this research, we study the coloration mechanism of the blue feather from the Formosa blue magpie (Urocissa caerulea). The color appearance is due to the scattering and interference between the air scatterers of the nanostructure in the feather barb which is called spongy structures. To prove the optical phenomenon induced by the spongy structures, we use Fourier analysis to resolve the distribution of these air holes. We have proved successfully that the distribution of the air holes in the feather barb have the characteristic of quasi-order or short range order and the optical theory in the spongy structures was based on coherent scattering. Furthermore, we found that the spongy structures have the directionality aligned along the outline of the feather barbs. The quasi-order structures with directionality would enhance the interference between the reflections light. And these characteristic explain the strong blue color is emerged at high incidence larger than 40-degree. Finally, we used the Fourier power spectrum to predict the reflectance of these structures. We provide a method to improve the accuracy of the predicted reflectance spectrum by analyzing the directional property of the strongest intensity in Fourier power spectrum. And this way truly improved the accuracy of the predicted reflectance spectrum of the spongy structures away from the top of the feather barb

There is a great diversity of species on the earth; among them birds have the amazing and multiple colors, especially on their plumage. The colors of feathers play several important roles for birds, such as hardness of feather enhancement, protection from the erosion of feather by bacteria, thermoregulation, concealment, advertisement, and disguise. In addition, color can serve as an indicator of nutrition condition of birds. As a result, color is also a criterion of mate choice and competition to others of the same sex, especially for structural color. Particularly, there are high associations between ultra-violet color and courtship display. Therefore, in this research, we have explained the physical mechanism of the structural blue-violet coloration in birds’ feathers and build the corresponding mathematical models. Blue feathers of two endemic avian species in Taiwan are chosen in this study, Swinhoe’s pheasant (Lophura swinhoii), and Taiwan blue magpie (Urocissa caerulea). A range of iridescent color appearances are presented by male Swinhoe’s pheasants’ mantle feathers. Two distinct regions of the open pennaceous portion of its feathers display particularly conspicuous angle-dependent reflection. A bright blue band appears in one region at normal incidence that spatially shifts to another at higher illumination angles. The two-dimensional photonic crystal-like nanostructures, melanin rods, inside the barbules of these two regions are similar. However, this study found that the spatial variation in their color appearance results from a continuously changing orientation of barbules with respect to the alignment of their associated barb. A multi-layered rigorous coupled-wave analysis approach was used to model the reflections from the identified intra-barbule structures. Well matched simulated and measured reflectance spectra, at both normal and oblique incidence, support our elucidation of the origin of the bird’s distinctive feather color appearance. Different to the conspicuous iridescence in Swinhoe’s pheasant’s mantle feather, the iridescence of the blue feathers of the Taiwan blue magpie is not obvious when the viewing angle is less than 40-degree. In addition, the biomaterial, medullary keratin, producing the blue color of Taiwan blue magpie exists inside the barbs rather than barbules. The spongy medullary keratin inside the feather barbs is investigated by two-dimensional Fourier analysis of transmission electron microscopic images of various positions on a barb to explain this unique characteristic. The orientation of the quasi-ordered nanostructure varies depending on its position of the feather barb. The predicted reflectance increases with the distance of the nanostructures from the vertex of the feather barb, and this results agrees closely with measurements. This research provides two optical models to elucidate two different iridescent colorations from nanostructures in barbs and barbules of bird’s feathers successfully.

This thesis focuses on the issue of “the action of Pinglin Taiwan Blue Magpie tea”. It explores how Pinglin through developing a call for protection of the tea to bring up an ecological farming possibility which is more practical in local rural, and also shows progressive agriculture thinking. &;#160; &;#160; This paper first gives a brief overview of the history of tea industry in Taiwan. And then it analyzes that during the history, how this industry has emerged various industrial transformation types based on different construction of value added, while currently it has&;#160; become the “cultural and creative gilded” industry type. Moreover, as Polanyi interprets the concept of “economy” from Aristotle, the term of “economy” includes “community”, “self-sufficiency“, and “justice”, and it is a moral economic thought. The combination of this argument and "Satoyama initiative", the practice of eco-diversity farming, becomes the foundation of&;#160;“the action of Pinglin Taiwan Blue Magpie tea”. The action builds a new industrial model to break through the path of “cultural and creative gilded” industrial transformation.&;#160; Meanwhile, this paper also addresses the Satoyama co-exist example of Oriental White Stork from Toyooka, Japan. With an analysis of this co-exist historical construction, the study traces why and how Toyooka developed "the Oriental White Stork farming" through restoration of white storks to develop, and even established a strong support system. Finally, the research examines how the actors involving in Pinglin apply the model of Toyooka to develop the "moral economy transformation" of tea industry, "the action of Pinglin Taiwan Blue Magpie tea”. It also illustrates that the exclusive supporting system of Pinglin is constructed of several supporting units in different levels that are triggered by the events behind the action.

Leisure agriculture can also be transferred as agriculture community to provide leisure experience with tourism and recreation sites or enterprises collectively, belongs to the leisure travel market a product or service type. Leisure agriculture was a binding properties of agricultural resources and sightseeing, and both agricultural production and rural life and rural ecological balance concept, providing people a new travel options for leisure activities. Leisure Farm features include: economic function; social function, education function, environmental function, recreational function, medical, cultural, heritage features. These features are consistent with the needs of modern leisure. Therefore, to explore the impact of leisure agriculture for the people has its importance.Satisfaction comes from psychological and emotional feeling after the individual and the situation arising from the interaction destination. If the experience of visitors exceeded expectations, expectations of tourist satisfaction or service will show a positive response, it will have a positive impact on future behavior. Also, customer satisfaction is the best indicator of corporate profits. Therefore, understanding the factors that affect tourist satisfaction, leisure agriculture industry will help to develop strategies to enhance tourist satisfaction. In this study, a random questionnaires in blue magpie farm were distributed 230 questionnaires, 205 valid questionnaires the results found, gender dimensions for each facets motivation recreation motivation P&;lt;0.05 significant influence, to satisfaction, behavioral Intention and revisited Intention P &;gt;0.05 no significant influence. The P value of age is greater than 0.05 that represent significant influence. The analysis of educational background which shows the P value of variable, motivation, satisfaction, the revisit willingness and behavior disposition are smaller than 0.05 that represent significant influence. The analysis of monthly income which shows the P value of variable satisfaction, and the revisit willingness are smaller than 0.05, therefore variable of location is significant influence, but the P volume of motivation and behavioral intentions are greater than 0.05 that denotes there are no significant influence between them. The analysis of occupation which shows the P value of variable, motivation, satisfaction and the revisit willingness are smaller than 0.05, therefore the variable of location is significant influence, but the P volume of behavior disposition is greater than 0.05 that denotes there is no significant influence. The analysis of reside place which shows the P value of variable, motivation, satisfaction and the revisit willingness and behavior disposition are greater than 0.05, therefore the variable of location is no significant influence.

Based on case study research method, this study discusses how an ESG-oriented social enterprise start-up has been trying to get balance between ecosystem and economy. With the entrepreneurship, Mr. Huang Po-Chun founded the company of BlueMagpie Tea Social Enterprise Co. Ltd. As a social enterprise when he pursuing his doctoral degree at the Graduate Institute of Building and Planning, National Taiwan University after serving for the Society of Wildness and the Chinese Wild Bird Federation respectively. Based on the spirit of Satoyama Initiative, Mr.Huang began with the two proposals of Distributors Yielding Profits and Tea Farmers Yielding the Land, and Recovering the Drainage Basin, hoping to clarify and confirm the business model of the brand in order to reach the balance of ecosystem and economic livelihoods. Then, he and his team utilized the mechanism of ambidexterity to expand their action plans. On the one hand, his team has been continually serving for the tutoring for the children of tea farmers, then wining trust from farmers in order to convince them to change their way of farming as well as involving famers in the pricing model to raise the purchase price. On the other hand, all the tea products have been undergoing full inspection for pesticide residues to gain consumer confidence. In addition, the company invited tea farmers to run the business cooperatively, guiding farmers to create value through branding. Further, Mr. Huang and his team also implemented many activities which were different from the past to help farmers’ living, such as the educational program in the farmland, volunteering activities, and one-day tour in the tea mountains. They also held workshops for the tea farmers and their offspring, winning back their recognition to the home business and reconstructing the cultural landscape in the villages. The team has been cooperating with companies that highlighted social responsibilities on corporate contracts of the tea farms and working holiday for their employees etc. To reach the goal of eco-village and based on the strategy of Recovering the Drainage Basin, Mr. Huang has been proactively assisting to expand the commercial channels for these farmers who adopt environmentally friendly farming to sell their products. The combination of farming and education model can also be utilized in other areas that have the conflicts between ecosystem and economic development. Mr.Huang has been acting as a pioneer to assist farmers for creating and enhancing the values of Pin Lin areas, with the expectations to reach the balance of environmental sustainability and economic development. This case is an ongoing development case. The discussions can be considered as a reference for other social enterprises that involve environmental sustainability. It would be of valuable references to those have to compromise between ecosystem and economic development.
