de, Windt Jassir. "Will Beauty Save the World? A historical context study of the Miss Venezuela pageant as a conceivable contributor to communication for development." Thesis, Malmö universitet, Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS), 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-22325.
Full textAbstract:
In recent years, old-hand development scholars, in the category of Dan Brockington, have expressed their concern over academia’s neglect of the significance of celebrities in the field. As has been the case of an outturn hereof, namely beauty pageants. In the last six decades, Venezuela has positioned itself not only as one of the world's largest exporters of oil but also as one of the leading engenderers of titleholders in international pageantry. The latter, which has resulted in Venezuelans regarding the pageant as a fundamental cultural undercurrent in their collective identity, seems to be a ceaseless manifestation in spite of the country’s worrisome current socio-economic status. Rather than adopting a condescending paradigm towards the Miss Venezuela pageant, it is precisely this vertex of ambiguity that opens the avenue for an interesting development question. After all, if celebrity beauty queens from Venezuela are deemed as part of the nation’s identity, could the pageant, in the same breath, be deemed as a contributor to communication for development? While espousing historical context as an analysing method and in pursuit of David Hulme’s Celebrity-Development nexus and Elizabeth McCall’s four strands of communication for development, this paper presents a qualitative study in which hands-on experts are given a platform. The findings show the evolution of a beauty pageant from a, nearly, nationalist device into a system that is grounded in the Millennium Development Goals and that aims to forge socially responsible beauty representatives that are competent enough to herald purposeful messages.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is about save systems and will analyze save functions in various games. Save systems in games are usually blamed for harming the suspension of disbelief as it is an act taking place outside the game and should only be used for its intended purpose: letting the players store their game data, and progress whenever they need. The game save function developed as rapid leaps of technology were made, with the beginning era of home consoles and home computers allowing players to spend more time playing, creating a demand for longer play sessions in games which lead to a need of methods for storing game data. The analysis of save systems is carried out in this paper by using MDA Framework (Mechanics, Dynamics, Aesthetics), a tool used for documenting game design. This framework can be used to analyze a game from a designer‟s or player‟s perspective. By reversing the framework ADM (Aesthetics, Dynamics and Mechanics) one can analyze the user experience, which is how the player perceives the game‟s aesthetics to be, depending on the dynamics and mechanics. This analysis aims to provide knowledge of how consistency in game design and the save system can be used to create a cohesive game world that facillitates the player's experience and immersion.

Full textAbstract:
On Arbor Day, 1919, 32 Ponderosa Pine trees were planted on the campus of the University of Montana to commemorate individuals associated with the university who died while serving Montana in World War I. Collectively called Memorial Row and situated among present-day McGill and Don Anderson Halls and the Social Science and Education buildings, the trees honor individuals who died in combat, as a result of combat injuries, and from the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918 while stationed with the Student Army Training Corps (SATC) on the UM campus or at Fort Missoula. Four women who volunteered as nurses and died are also remembered. Contained herein are three stories of individuals memorialized in Memorial Row: James Claude Simpkins, a chemistry graduate of 1916 and second lieutenant in the First Army Air Service; Mrs. Solomon Yoder (a.k.a. Hazel Leonard), a nurse who volunteered at the SATC, contracted the flu and died a few days later; and Paul Logan Dornblaser, a UM football star and 1914 law graduate who served as a corporal in the 6th Marines, and after whom the UM athletic track is named.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this essay is to examine how ecocritical readings of poems and song lyrics can work as a catalyst for discussing questions regarding sustainable development in the subject of English. The poems “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth and “Andrew”by Andrea Gibson, but also the song lyrics for the song “Every Age”by José Gonzalez were selected for the analyze, since they can represent the varying types of texts that are used by teachers in upper secondary school. The essay leans heavily on different terms associated with ecocriticism and other closely related fields such as ecofeminism and environmental pedagogy since it can help to create an understanding for the complexity of sustainability and how it can be taught in the classroom. The analyses showed that it is possible to address sustainable development through ecocritical readings of poems and song lyrics. There are two obvious ways forward that could be taken where the first would be to analyze even more texts in order to see if the methods used in the analyses are applicable to any other number of texts that are available to use in the classroom. The other way would be to apply the methods in a classroom situation and see if the methods would be suited for upper secondary school students.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur kvinnor som migrerat till Sverige upplever en förening som arbetar för ”invandrarkvinnor” samt att etablera en diskussion kring föreningens verksamhet och målgrupp. För att uppfylla syftet har material samlats genom utförda intervjuer med kvinnor som på olika sätt är engagerade i föreningen. Dessutom har observationer utförts för att kunna fördjupa förståelsen för hur verksamheten fungerar. Materialet har sedan analyserats med hjälp av teori som postkolonial feminism, kulturellt kapital och gemeinschaft. Resultat som framkommit genom detta arbetssätt är att informanterna upplever föreningen som en plats som ger dem den känsla av gemenskap som kompenserar för de olika känslor av utanförskap som de gått igenom. Ett annat resultat av studien är att känslan av gemenskap kommer från upplevelsen av att kvinnor som sökt sig till förening i hög utsträckning delar erfarenheter.

Full textAbstract:
“All citizens of the world can save a life”. With these words, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) is launching the first global initiative – World Restart a Heart (WRAH) – to increase public awareness and therefore the rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for victims of cardiac arrest. In most of the cases, it takes too long for the emergency services to arrive on scene after the victim's collapse. Thus, the most effective way to increase survival and favourable outcome in cardiac arrest by two- to fourfold is early CPR by lay bystanders and by “first responders”. Lay bystander resuscitation rates, however, differ significantly across the world, ranging from 5 to 80%. If all countries could have high lay bystander resuscitation rates, this would help to save hundreds of thousands of lives every year. In order to achieve this goal, all seven ILCOR councils have agreed to participate in WRAH 2018. Besides schoolchildren education in CPR (“KIDS SAVE LIVES”), many other initiatives have already been developed in different parts of the world. ILCOR is keen for the WRAH initiative to be as inclusive as possible, and that it should happen every year on 16 October or as close to that day as possible. Besides recommending CPR training for children and adults, it is hoped that a unified global message will enable our policy makers to take action to address the inequalities in patient survival around the world.Revisión por pares

Sharpe, Rosalind. "'A piecemeal way to save the world' : investigating social sustainability in the UK's conventional food supply." Thesis, City, University of London, 2016. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/17353/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses a gap in knowledge of sustainability in relation to food – namely how the social ‘pillar’ is being interpreted and acted on, and by whom, in the UK’s conventional food supply. Sustainability is widely seen to have three pillars (environmental, economic and social), with the latter the least well understood. The thesis uses a governance perspective, where sustainability is viewed as a problem seen to be in need of intervention by public and other rule-making authorities. The research first reviewed UK-level state policy relating to social sustainability and food. It then explored organisational websites to find out what types of entity were active on social sustainability, and in what ways. The website research yielded data 135 separate entities, and was supplemented by 27 qualitative interviews. It was found that actors from a range of categories beyond companies producing food were involved in governing this area, such as financial actors, ‘infrastructure’ providers, consultants, advocacy groups and standards organisations. They used an array of governance techniques, including re-badging existing activities, outsourcing, advocacy, collaboration, and multiple forms of ‘audit’. The range of social concerns on which they acted was extensive, from nutrition and employment to education and animal welfare. They were both substantive (such as the nutritional content of food) and procedural (such as accountability). However, the activities were very inconsistently associated with sustainability, leading to the conclusion that social sustainability does not yet have a settled meaning in the context of the conventional food supply, and given the highly normative nature of its constituent concerns, its meaning may always be dynamic and contested. Overall, non-state governance was found to be ad hoc and opportunistic, but also resourceful and idealistic. In the absence of coherent state guidance, it served the actors’ diverse interests rather than any agreed public goal.

Collard, Charline. "When searching for meaningfulness helps "save the world" : Understanding the micro-dynamics of corporate social responsibility." Thesis, Toulouse 1, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020TOU10023.
Full textAbstract:
Le résumé en français n'a pas été communiqué par l'auteurMy research aims at better understanding the work experience of corporate social responsibility (CSR) managers and grassroots community entrepreneurs in their efforts to transform organizations for the better good. I carried two empirical studies by interviewing 27 CSR managers, and by doing four years of ethnographic work among members of a grassroots community. This allowed me to gather a great amount of data that helped interpret the meaning that these actors give to their work. Based on grounded theory and participant observation, I went back and forth between the field and an extensive review of the literature, which contributed to critically review some established concepts. This research finds how the search for a responsible and meaningful work helps create new organizational behaviors that are enacted by specific micro-CSR dynamics, contributing to the growing literature in micro-CSR. Within this context, this research contributes to the literature on the meaning of work by deepening our understanding on calling and related ideology infused psychological contract, on emotional complexity, and on the dynamics of meaningfulness over time. In addition, it also informs CSR practitioners on the importance of community support when they perceive — through their sense of calling or emotional meaningfulness, that their organizations are not aligned with their higher purpose, putting them at risk of burnout and leaving their organizations. However, it seems that even when the organization is aligned, and when meaningfulness is fulfilled, these actors still run the risk to exhaust themselves. Yet, self-acceleration seems to help contribute to positive impacts on society despite the strong need for self-expression, which creates conflicts between self-sacrifice and self-care. Further research is needed to better understand the so-called meaningfulness addiction that those actors might fall into, especially when psychosocial risk management has now become a CSR responsibility

Full textAbstract:
In 1929 the leading Chinese intellectual Hu Shi said: “To understand the degree to which a particular culture is civilized, we must appraise … how it handles its children.” In 1957, Chairman Mao told Chinese youth that “both the world and China’s future belonged to them.” In both eras, cultural leaders placed children and youth in the centre of cultural and political discourse associating them with the nation’s future. This thesis compares Chinese children’s literature during the Republican period (1912-1949) and the early People’s Republic of 1949-1966, until the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and argues that children’s writers who worked in both new Chinas treated youth and children as key agents in building a nation-state.
In this thesis, I focus on the works of three prominent writers, Ye Shengtao (1894-1988), Bing Xin (1900-1999) and Zhang Tianyi (1906-1985) who wrote children’s literature and were prominent cultural figures in both eras. Their writing careers make for excellent case studies in how children’s literature changed from one political era to another. I conduct thematic and stylistic textual analysis of their works and read them against their historical and cultural backgrounds to determine how children’s writings changed and why.
As anticipated, I showed that during both eras, children’s literature and politics were closely related. Another expected finding is that the manner of writing for children changed significantly as children from victims turned into active agents of the nation’s future. Challenging the view that children’s writers of the early People’s Republic merely followed the Party line, I argue that Ye, Bing, and Zhang remained loyal to the task of “saving children.” Another unexpected finding is that the Chinese Communist Party did not invent new cultural policies toward children from scratch, but employed numerous policies and ideas, including literary ideas, of the Nationalist regime that also inherited much from the late Qing.

Full textAbstract:
Today, supply chain is often complex with low transparency and traceability. This is causing environmental and social harm in lower tier levels of supply chains, which the focal firm will be held accountable for. In the light of this, focal firms are aspiring to become more sustainable, which includes sustainable practices in both primary and supportive activities. In order for organizations to achieve this, there is a need for higher transparency and traceability. An issue that can be solved by the implementation of blockchain technology. A blockchain allows transaction to be made without a third party which results in secured and verified information and thus increased transparency and traceability. Moreover, sustainability has moved to become imperative in organizations strategic decisions in recent years where Trippel Bottom Line is a common approach but current literature states that his approach often lack all dimensions in sustainability research. Making it clear that a broader view on sustainability is needed, which the UNs Global Goals has as it takes up different aspects including a more extensive view of the socioeconomic and environmental view of sustainability. The current literature is missing a more practical view of how the implementation of blockchain technology can help focal firms achieve the Global Goals. Thus, our study aims to answer the following research question: How can the application of blockchain technology in supply chain management help focal firms to achieve UNs Global Goals 12 and 13, by enabling transparency and traceability in supply chain networks?The purpose of this is study to understand how blockchain technology enables transparency and traceability in focal firms supply chains and how this can be applied when companies want to reach UNs Global Goals connected to responsible productionand consumption, and taking action against climate change, i.e., Global Goals 12 and 13.To answer our research question and fulfill the purpose, a qualitative study including eightsemi-structured interviews were conducted covering different themes related to the research question. Our findings shows that blockchain has several features that leads to transparency and traceability, namely, decentralized information sharing, secure information, verified information and enables better structures for communication within the supply chain. Thus, enables focal firms to act against climate change and promote sustainable consumption and production in theory supply chain. However, the findings show that to achieve the optimal outcome, this is dependent on the supply chain and its actors meeting certain criteria. These criterions include, the characteristics of the industry, the complexity of the supply chain, the costumers demand, the degree of adoption of the technology in the supply chain, the relationship between actors and supporting activities.This thesis theoretically contributes with further understating and a new logic of the connection between blockchain technology and sustainable supply chain management by showing that the transparency and traceability enabled by blockchain can help focal firms achieve sustainable practices by enabling decentralized, secure, and verified information. This facilitates a better structure for tracing carbon footprint and unethical production and working practices are made transparent. Further, the practical implication of this study is that the focal firms will get a better understanding and knowledge of the supply chain network and their production and consumption and making it easier to act against climate change. Lastly, the social implication of this study is that it facilitates a broader view on sustainability which includes the social dimension to a larger extent.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract] This thesis focuses on the significance of the beauty of Helen of Troy in the Encomium of Helen written by the fourth-century philosopher Isocrates. Previous traditions, and especially epic poetry and tragedy, had assessed Helen’s beauty and either blamed or excused her for causing the Trojan War. Isocrates moved beyond this dichotomy to create a new focus on her beauty as the ultimate source of all that made Greek culture distinctive. Modern scholarship, however, has been generally unsympathetic we may almost say blind to this projected beauty. The meaning of beauty in Isocrates’ work has been overlooked by scholars in favor of its rhetorical structure. The work was criticized for its disjointed arrangement and lack of seriousness. The Helen has been interpreted as a reaction to contemporary rhetorical issues or as merely an educational manifesto. This thesis aims to identify and clarify the ideology underlying Isocrates’ construction of Helen’s beauty in his encomium. … The Helen of Isocrates is also compared with the contemporary Platonic work Phaedrus, which explores beauty as a means of arriving at pure knowledge. In this case, comparisons are drawn thematically and reveal that while the two works share similar topics and aims regarding the notions of beauty, Isocrate’s aesthetic idea is much more practically grounded and intended to be of benefit to the entire society when compared to the more idealistic and individual Platonic notion. Finally, the reasons for Isocrates’ choice of beauty as a major theme for the Helen are explored through a comparison of Helen’s beauty to that of Hellas an equation which Isocrates deems important for the fourth-century society.

The act of applying makeup is a ritual shared by many, often beginning at an early age. Though makeup is presented as a final product in the public sphere, the process of applying makeup can be just as, if not more important. This thesis acts as the theoretical basis for my digital art project, Facing the World. My work gives insight into the lesser understood motivations behind wearing makeup while shedding the stigma that wearing it is merely a superficial act or sign of vanity. The project Facing the World presents the makeup routines and personal narratives of seven women to uncover the merits of cosmetics as a means of identity creation, self-care, and mindful reflection. The work is exhibited as a single channel looped video of approximately twenty minutes with the corresponding subject’s audio portion played over headphones.

Full textAbstract:
Terry Tempest Williams, in Finding Beauty in a Broken World employs literary techniques that suggest dislocations and relocations of the human subject in ethical modes of being. Through narrative techniques, multidisciplinary language, and themes of conversation, gift-exchange, listening and response, Williams reflects ecological humanist mosaics, suggesting cooperative regeneration—an intersection of material beings facilitated by an ethical human imagination that listens, receives, and gives toward patterns of beauty, including, but not limited to, being human in a collective world. This eco-critical analysis of Williams’s work affirms the human being in post-humanist philosophy and repositions relational Romanticism for the 21st century.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and provide a deeper understanding of how the national culture of China affects the use of formal and informal management control systems of Swedish firms, operating in China. In order to conduct this research, relevant theories concerning internationalization, culture and management control systems were gathered and analyzed in relation to each other. This resulted in a conceptual framework, which illustrates the interrelationships between the concepts. Thereafter, this was used as the ground to which the empirical findings were analyzed and compared to. The analysis chapter involves a discussion of the similarities and dissimilarities between theory and empirical data, which leads to the conclusions of this study. This is lastly followed by theoretical implications, practical implications and recommendations, limitations and suggestions for further research. The study has been conducted with a qualitative research method, in order to obtain a deeper understanding of how national culture can affect the use of management control systems of Swedish firms in China. Further, due to the unexplored and limited research area of this complex subject, the study followed an abductive approach. The findings of this research indicate that the Chinese culture affects the use of formal control systems, in which they are used extensively within Swedish firms, operating in China. However, the national culture of China does not have an effect on the informal control systems of Swedish firms. Nevertheless, the use of the informal control systems should not be undermined, as the use of these triggers for more innovation and creativity among the members of an organization. This in turn could lead to Swedish firms operating more efficiently in the Chinese market. This research can be valuable for Swedish firms that wish to internationalize to the Chinese market, as well as firms operating in China with concerns regarding the use of management control systems in relation to the culture.

Cette étude se propose de rendre compte du conflit qui opposa Plotin aux Gnostiques. Uneintroduction met en scène les protagonistes et décrit les circonstances de leur l’affrontement.Une première partie étudie la forme de cette polémique exceptionnelle dans les traités dePlotin, la rapproche de celle des hérésiologues chrétiens à l’encontre de ces mêmesGnostiques et fait l’hypothèse qu’elle ne fut pas ignorée de Plotin. Les parties suivantesprésentent la philosophie de Plotin pour l’opposer à la doctrine gnostique dans les domainescosmologique, théologique et anthropologique. Elles présentent et étudient, en chacun de cesdomaines, les critiques de fond que Plotin adresse aux thèses de l’adversaire, lui reprochant deméconnaître la nature des réalités dont il traite, de tenir des discours dépourvus de logique, dene proposer aucune méthode pour réaliser ses objectifs (le salut). Les critiques de Plotin àl’encontre des Gnostiques constituent une défense du platonisme et de la philosophie elle-même,ainsi que de toutes les valeurs sur lesquelles se fonde toute la pensée de PlotinThis study accounts for the conflict between Plotinus and the Gnostics. The introductionportrays the protagonists, and describes the circumstances of their confrontation. The first partstudies the form of this exceptional controversy in the treaties of Plotinus, draws a parallelwith the controversy between the Christian Heresiologists and the Gnostics, and hypothesizesthat the later was not unknown to Plotinus. The subsequent parts explain the philosophy ofPlotinus and contrast it with the Gnostic doctrine in the cosmological, theological andanthropological domains. They present and analyse, in each of these areas, the fundamentalcritiques that Plotinus addresses to his opponents, accusing them of misunderstanding thenature of the realities that they deal with, of making speeches devoid of logic, and ofproposing no method to achieve their aims (salvation). The critiques of Plotinus against theGnostics constitute a defense of Platonism and of philosophy itself, and also of all the valuesthat underlie the thought of Plotinus

Yuan, Ning. "La notion de cosmos dans l'oeuvre de Philippe Jaccottet." Thesis, Tours, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017TOUR2001/document.
Full textAbstract:
La notion de « cosmos » occupe une place centrale dans toute l’oeuvre de Jaccottet, moins en tant qu’abstraction conceptuelle que sous forme de « traits épars », diffusés partout dans ce monde-ci. La conception jaccottéenne du cosmos s’inscrit dans la lignée de la cosmologie grecque, notamment dans celle de Pythagore qui assimile le mot « cosmos » à la triade ordre-monde-parure des femmes. Notre première partie s’organise ainsi autour de cette triple signification du « cosmos », dont la première dimension s’avère tout particulièrement significative, puisque l’ordre est à la source de la perception esthétique chez l’homme, alors que le monde n’est possible qu’étant ordonné. Le travail que mène le poète à la poursuite d’un ordre qui transparaît à travers les paysages et les choses acquiert alors un sens existentiel et ontologique, notamment aux temps modernes où le monde humain s’approche plus du « chaos » que du « cosmos », c’est-à-dire d’un ensemble beau, ordonné et uni. Se conduisant en « élève du monde », le poète se laisse guider par la lumière des choses dont la vie, à l’opposé de celle de l’homme, s’inscrit dans la belle ordonnance du cosmosThe notion of the « cosmos » takes a central place in the work of Jaccottet, less as the conceptual abstraction than as the form of the “sparse traits” disseminated in this world. The Jaccottet’s conception of the cosmos takes part in the Greek Cosmology and especially in the Pythagoras Cosmology that assimilates the word of “cosmos” with a triad: order-worldwomen looks. The first part of our study is organized around that triple significance of “cosmos”, whose first dimension is particularly full of significance due to the fact that the order is at the source of esthetic perception for a human being, and the world is not possible without order. The project that undertakes the poet in the research of an order that shows through the scenery and the objects, acquire then an existential and ontological meaning, especially in the modern times in which the human life approaches more to the “chaos” than to the “cosmos” that represents an altogether of beauty, order and union. As an “apprentice of the world”, the poet lets himself be guided by the light of the things whose life, contrary to the human’s life, is registered in the beautiful order of cosmos

Children around the world suffer greatly due to conflicts. One of the most common interventions to support children affected by conflicts are Child Friendly Spaces (CFSs). Implemented within different cultural contexts, CFSs aim to be both culturally sensitive and contribute to gender equality, an interaction that can be complex. Previous research regarding CFSs is limited. As CFSs are commonly used in Humanitarian Action, further knowledge is central.This thesis aims to explore and compare how culture and gender appropriate responses in CFSs guidelines and manuals are expressed in order to gain an increased understanding of how these guidelines handle the interaction between gender norms in different cultures.In this study I discuss six CFSs guidelines and manuals by conducting comparative analysis and applying the Ecological Resilience Framework.The result suggests that culture and gender appropriate responses are central in all guidelines and manuals but emphasized in different ways. The participation of children, families and communities, as well as the adaption of activities, are all strategies aimed at cultural sensitivity. The result also entails that the equal inclusion of all children is a general gender appropriate approach. In addition, I claim that the main intervention, aiming to be both gender and culture appropriate, is separated groups between boys and girls. Finally, I argue that gender and culture may clash due to different perceptions of gender and culture appropriate responses.

Full textAbstract:
L’enjeu de cette thèse est de fonder une réflexion sur la représentation mentale et spirituelle du monde côtier par le biais des ornementations pariétales dans les espaces privés à Rome et en Campanie. Le sentiment de la nature côtière, qui se démarque de celui de la nature dans son ensemble autant qu’il s’y incorpore, n’est pas figé ; son évolution, perceptible dans le choix des thèmes et la manière stylistique avec laquelle ces derniers sont traités est déterminée par le contexte socio-politique de la genèse de ces expressions artistiques. Ainsi, nous traversons trois grandes époques : républicaine, post-républicaine et vespasienne correspondant aux trois styles pompéiens : deuxième, troisième et quatrième. Au fil de ces périodes, les paysages littoraux recèlent une symbolisation essentielle de l’ordre cosmique et de la structure idéologique qui permet l’interprétation de l’UniversThe aim of this Ph D is to provide a consideration of the mental and spiritual representation of the coastal world through the mural paintings of Romano-Campanian houses. The sense of beauty in coastal nature which in fact differs from the sense of nature as a whole as much as it incorporates it is not set. Its evolution which is perceptible through choice of themes and through the iconographic styles is determined by the social and political context. Our investigation is based on three historical periods: a republican, post republican and vespasian, one corresponding to the three decorative Pompeian styles: the second, the third and the fourth. Throughout these periods, coastal landscapes involve a fundamental symbolisation of cosmic nature and of the ideological structure which allow an interpretation of the universe

Abstract This thesis focuses on “how to become a Chinese fairy“as my working-in-progress practices. Frist of all, starting from the fairy icon from traditional Chinese culture, I attended to the 「Fairy Selection contest」 hosted by Tainan Temple. Getting involved in playing the role of Chinese fairy, I tried to connect the Chinese fairy concept with the female characters from ancient Chinese fantasy literature. By transferring the Scenes to the internet, I try to reach the “Real Chinese Fairy Representative” in modern world, and be in the part of the group. When it comes to the medium of my art work, I usually think about the characteristics of the material itself. At first I chose painting as to immediately taking down all the images and ideas that come to my mind, and looked up for some interesting formats from daily life to intensify the interactivity with the audience. My first art work after entering graduated school is a re-made electronic wall clock which I bought from online store into installation that has my paintings on. In this way, all the paintings can be viewed as individual painting artwork, or the design draft of the electronic installations. From 2015, inspired by relationship column writer, I started to build a museum of teenage girl’s mind, and put my efforts at researching and imitating the skills and esthetic of Electric Flower Cars (EFC). However, I couldn’t really get in touch with the formal craftwork skills, instead, the assembled collaged materials I got from everywhere are embarrassing. The more I try hard to pursue the ideal status, the more obvious that the artwork is a sub-quality products. By discussing the frustrations I encountered when I was making the artwork, I reflect the anxiety and doubt I have towards my reality. On the other hand, all these philistine artwork I make is a humor sarcasm towards the society.

" Guide to save the world " describes an unconfident ordinary person, desires happiness and love, has experienced the school bullying, hindrance, crisis and many hindrances, crises and sorrows, only for receiving recognition urgently and having a foothold immediately on the society until he commits an astonishing crime in the society. Does this world only remain the victor can embrace love? On every account, this film demonstrates inequality in the modern society without choices through sarcasm simultaneously. The form was adapted the first-person narration to tell the story and plenty of interior monologues to analyze the interior feelings . The meaning of "I" in the film script is exposited by existentialism and narratology, and then the script will be explained by play structural theory and plot function, hoping that the readers could understand the play's ideas and philosophy profoundly.

This study focused on the travel writing of Liang Dan-Fong. Since the past, in both the East and the West, women were unable to travel and migrate as men could. An examination of Eastern and Western travel histories reveals that travel was extremely gender-differentiated. In an era when martial law controlled the travel of Taiwanese citizens abroad and tourism had not yet been made open, Liang began her career at the age of 38, which was more than 40 years ago. Dressed in a plain qipao and carrying her painting tools, Liang traveled alone around the world, leaving her footprints across the globe. Among Taiwanese women, she was an early practitioner of solitary, self-guided travel and painted from life. As Liang painted, she also wrote down her feelings and the things that she saw and heard during her travels. Her writing is exquisite and graceful, and although her travels were filled with struggles, she conveys observations made during journeys and inspirations of life through text and illustrations, enriching the spirit of the reader. This paper focuses on the works of travel literature by Liang and is divided into five sections. The first section is the introduction, which primarily explains the study motive, objective, and scope and contains a literature review section. The second section concerns the development of Taiwan’s contemporary travel literature and reviews the developmental process of travel literature in Taiwan in comparison with the development of Taiwanese society. The third section details the life experiences and views on travel of Liang, gathering scattered pieces of her life story and performing detailed research. By understanding the life history of the writer, a more comprehensive perspective of the features of her travel writing was gained. From her writings, this paper uncovers her perspectives on travel and examines the meaning of travel for Liang. The fourth section discusses the style of Liang’s travel writing and uses her work to analyze the writing process, meaning, and characteristics of her travel literature to reproduce the writer’s journey and mental landscape. Finally, the fifth section concludes, primarily summarizing the overall study results to present a complete assessment of Liang’s travel literature and discussing its achievements.

This research is to study the aesthetic world of wheelchair dance sport. First, I would introduce the formation structure of wheelchair dance sport. Then, by applying Hans-Georg Gadamer’s art theory of play and Michel Foucault’s opinion on aesthetics of existence, I would explain my argument of playful beauty. I would also truthfully present the beauty playing and transforming process in the new world of wheelchair dance sport. The process is tangled with the individuals, the events, the things and the ways how the dancers encountered, practiced and performed. At last, I would give a detailed report on the wheelchair dance sport players’ real transforming world, and connect the new transforming world of playful beauty to the real world. I would conclude that in the new world of wheelchair dance sport, play is games, beauty is art, and transforming is to transform life. As for the wheelchair sport dancers in the transforming world of playful beauty, because of games, their body and mind are introduced into the world, and that leads to the combination of life and art, as well as the combination of body, mind and spirit. As a result, the combinations transform into the consummate state that truly exists in life.

Nowadays, in light of the living standard in Japanese society has boosted, the opportunities for acquiring a job with higher position among women have increased. Simultaneously, the pressure resulted from life has increased as well as the significant change in social environment. As a result, the demand for beauty care and health care is therefore increasing.In 2007, the total market value of beauty industry in Japan reached to approximately 401 .35 billion Japanese Yen. Thus, the beauty industry plays an important role in Japanese health living. On the other hand, with the market expansion, various problems have emerged.According to the data published by National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan (2006), it indicates that the total number of complaints within all industries had been reduced in two consecutive years, whereas the ratio of complaints occurred among beauty salon service had increased within that period of time. The reason for this is possibly attributed to most operators to start business without being well-prepared such as incomplete staff training. This study focuses on the beauty industry''s status quo and issues. Besides, from the standpoint of marketing, it is aimed to know how each enterprise succeed in the industry by strategic management, experienced marketing, and reinforced brand equity, etc. Finally, through the analysis of case study - Socie world’s history, management philosophy, the brand building, the service characteristic, overseas market expansion and future prospects allows us to gain some insights of the success factors of the specific organizations discussed in the paper.

Full textAbstract:
This report presents a critique of the ideology that language is naturally "perfect" on some level of analysis, or, alternately, that it can be made to be perfect through processes of decontextualization or through the construction of a new language. I identify this ideology of linguistic idealization as one of the defining characteristics of formalist, Chomskyan linguistics. This report describes three features of this ideology and their impact on formalist linguistics: science envy, the elegance fallacy, and the teleological fallacy. In order to understand the idealizing trend in its social and intellectual context, I present historical background on the various versions of this ideology that theorists have adopted during certain periods in Western scholarship about language. This report ultimately argues that the dynamic paradigm, which currently holds a minority status in American linguistics, as well as the simple but profound recognition that language has evolved along with its users, can provide an instructive contrast to the idealizing trend in mainstream linguistics. An acceptance of the ways in which language is subject to dynamic functional pressures, rather than or in addition to static, asocial rules, can expand the field beyond its currently narrow and limited purview to accommodate more of what we know about the reality of language structure and use. The report will end with the claim that even if we accept as unavoidable some measure of idealization within linguistic research, we should do so only with good reason, not simply because it is standard practice. In addition, researchers should make such a decision with an awareness of the historical underpinnings and ideological consequences of idealizing the object of their inquiry.text

This creative study is based on the theme of “leisurely travel in the sense of beauty world”. The purpose is to connect virtual landscapes and abstract emotions through the creation of landscape paintings that is full of beauty. I hope that this can be a timeless and self-fulfilling goal, and I also want to create- To sing the beauty of nature and hope to spark the viewer's care and reflection on nature conservation, at the same time, I hope to construct the creation of pleasing and moving works which have my own painting styles and characteristics. This dissertation is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is an introduction, explaining the study's motivation and purpose, research methods and procedures, research scope, and terminology. Chapter II discusses the literature, introduces the history and evolution of landscape painting, the spirit of naturalism, and three well-known landscape painters, including Corot, Wald Muller, and Pissarro, whom inspire and affect to me. The third chapter analyzes the concept of creation and form, and illustrates three creative ideas including the blending of poetry and painting, my hand painting my heart and feelings, and the creation of a series of works in the thesis, including composition and layout, texture and Strokes, colors and light. The fourth chapter analyzes and interprets the works and introduces sixteen landscape paintings, including works descriptions, creation ideas and forms. The fifth chapter is a conclusion, explaining the feedbacks and conclusions and the author's outlook for the future. And put forward three research feedbacks and findings in the conclusion: First, discover the influence of the change of the ratio of virtude and actuality on the level of beauty. Second, creative landscape paintings do not need to be overly focused on realistic or freehand creative forms. Third, discover the mystical power hidden in the dark tones of the landscape.

The thesis questions the aspect of souls and worlds in Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Material Trilogy, which he expected to fulfill his atheistic world and the universe of probablism, namely “Republic of Heaven.” In Pullman’s setting, the disciplines of the New World originated from Dust, an atom-like element that constructed all the materials, souls and numberless parallel universes; even God was the concentration of Dust. Under this setting, Pullman waged a war between the two powers, the Magisterium and the Truth suitors in the novel. Pullman’s ultimate goal was to prove the being of God a lie without denying His existence. The methodologies applied in the novel somehow became the central and the most disputing theme of the story. The study showed that the two important elements that support Pullman’s world, Daemon and Dust were facing their contradictions in both phenomenological and metaphysical ways of defining them. Take Dust as an example, I inducted what Dust was by its essence and function then found this overloaded “super element” was inexpertly overestimated than a godly cause. With too many extra values added, at the same time it was made the only element that created the whole world; its holiness was ignored and turned into a monster. Moreover, the study found that Pullman’s idea of Dust was very similar to the Greek atomism (founded in 450 B.C.), a theory that was already abandoned by theology and science two thousand years ago because its lack of reasoning logic. In His Dark Material trilogy, the theory was restored with Pullman’s motive of anti-Christianity and denying of the Creator, but its lack of logic remained unsolved. The second support of Pullman’s world was his setting of Daemon and its legitimacy of existence. Simply, Daemon is Pullman’s view on soul. Soul had been always a sensitive and complicated subject, but Pullman visualized and externalized it as an animal-shaped partner called Daemon. Daemon represented its human’s characteristic and was inseparable with its human. The study found an unexplainable conflict in the relationship between the Daemon and its human based on their psychological interactions. According to Martin Heidegger’s ideas of existentialism and Aristotle’s Metaphysics, emotional expressions are the projections of one’s mind and soul. Since in the story the souls had been embodied as Daemon, where or what does the owner originate his or her feeling and anxiety toward their Daemon? Apparently, the projector and the projected both had souls and being metaphysically individuals, whilst they were physically as one. It is to say Pullman’s ambition of essentially symbiotic multiple souls did not fulfill successfully in the story. The conclusion of the study was based on the defects of the Dust and Souls then questioned Pullman’s critics in whether a fantasy literature can or should really be realistic. By evaluating Pullman’s works, it is to proved that an imitation of the reality still remain fictional and unreal in the world of His Dark Materials. Besides, his setting of “Republic of Heaven” is proved not better than the overthrown “Kingdom of Heaven” that readers are encountering, while the basic two elements Dust and Daemons being in lack of logical and correct theological explanation. However, the study also found that this is not Pullman’s or any other fantasy writers’ fault, but that they were limited by the genre itself.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analyzes visual representations of Canadian women war workers
during the Second World War, examining the intersections of labour, gender, beauty
culture, bodies, media, consumer culture, advertising, class, whiteness, and sexuality
featured in these images. It argues that without considering each of these themes, it is
impossible to fully understand wartime representations of women workers. In examining
these intersections, the dissertation highlights the power of visual representations and
demonstrates the key roles of beauty culture and heterosexuality in munitions plants. By
comparing images of women war workers in nationally-circulated magazines and
advertisements, locally-produced newsletters from three southern Ontario war plants,
archival photos, and newspaper coverage of the Miss War Worker beauty contest, this
study shows that the beautiful woman war worker was a visual icon who symbolized the
tensions, worries, and hopes around labour, beauty, and femininity, in wartime as well as
in the postwar period, when war workers’ presumed next step into white motherhood was
of particular importance to the national project. Women workers were constantly
encouraged and pressured to engage with beauty culture and participate in self-fashioning.
Probing the relationship between how war workers were depicted and what they experienced points to the power of images as well as the opportunities women had to
exercise agency by pushing back against visual ideals as well as by emulating them.Graduate

The dream about an earthly paradise, rediscovery of an original, absolutely harmonic paradisal life is, in Dostoevskij's opinion, one of the deepest and the most valuable dreams of the human heart. The spiritual course of any human being has its own history, it is born from thesis (babtism), goes through antithesis (crises) and finishes in synthesis (beauty). A man comes from the Eden Paradise and aims at heaven. So, a man in course of his spiritual life is in a real split into two paradises: the Eden Paradise from which he is coming from and the Kingdom of God where he is aiming at. The midpoint of the life course is accompanied by a crisis, that can also be described as separation from the the paradise. The characters of novels by Dostoevskij failed due to the fact, that they were not able to admit their presence between two "paradise states" and so their ideas about earthly paradise establishment were being corrupted. In our piece of work we are going to follow four trends: 1. Time corruption, incorrectly understood sense of history. The tendency to return back where a man came from, in an origenestic, cyclic interpretation of a comeback is apparent in a story The Dream of a Ridiculous Man. Another extreme shows marxism ideas going around Europe which deny both the importance and the sense of...

The research also explores the life world of disadvantaged adolescent to understand why the adolescent become to disadvantage. What are the reason and background to make the disadvantaged adolescent recover from their failure experiences? We also concern the future career planning of the research participant after she re-narrate her life story. This research is based on the concept of qualitative research, and uses the narrative research methods. Data is collected from the deep interview. The “holistic---content” and “categorical---content” are used to analyze the data. The results as follows: 1. In the life story of the research participant, her father is the key point to make her live in the failure experiences. The period of junior high school is the critical time in her life. The negative experience in the Adolescent Observer and Protect Institute make her sense that her mistake in her life as the betel nut beauty. 2. The disadvantaged adolescents in resilience process are harder then the general adolescents, because they lack the support system. Their early experience is the important factor in their resilience process. 3. The factors of becoming to disadvantaged adolescent: (1). The function of family can really carry on more important than the structure of family. (2) The education of the role of law must be intensified. (3). The adolescents will be confusion of ego identity easily in the mass media competition and network technology development. (4).The support and help from seniors and friends can give them positive effects. (5). The junior high school emphasizes the entrance examinations of senior high school too much. (6). The attitude of teacher’s support or the teacher’s rejection is the important factor for students. 4. The research participant experienced loss and failure in her growing process, but she used the positive attitude to face her future.

The increasing opportunity for Taiwanese women to travel abroad leads to the trend of women’s travel writings. Graphic travel books whose contents include pictures and travel writings highly developed in the publishing market. Women’s graphic travel writings as a kind of travel products become to show concrete results of Taiwanese women’s transnational travel experience. My research explores three women''s graphic travel books: Yu Beauty''s FUN Holiday, Wake up in One Corner of the Globe and Travel: The World of 19-year-old. The discussion of gender, globalization and capitalism in this research will be interwoven with women’s own lives in different ages, their transnational travel experiences, and women’s graphic travel writings in Taiwan. The first section with the focus on gender examine the reasons and purposes for women to travel abroad, and the difficulties faced by female travelers in transnational trips and their solutions to overcome the being-questioned identity. The second part explores how female travelers respond to travel experiences that have been deeply affected by globalization and transnational capitalism. Highly developed transportation and information networks lead female travelers to cross national boundaries. The commercialization of sensory feast experienced by female travelers shows class-bounded characteristics of consuming tastes deeply packed by capitalism and globalization but, sometimes, they trust their own taste to enjoy exotic diet culture. Through graphic travel writings, female travelers show their surrender, reflection and criticism of globalization and capitalism in different ways. The third part demonstrates the rendezvous of transnational travel writing and women’s life energy. Taiwanese female travelers continue dialogue with the Self and the Other throughout transnational trips. In the gaze of the inner self, Taiwanese female travelers rethink the life experiences and obtain the growth of their inner selves. Women’s graphic travel writings with different packaging and marketing practices show various concerns with readership, which separates graphic travel publishing markets. Through transnational travel experience in women’s graphic travel writings, three Taiwanese female travelers with distinct identities and in different life stages provide an alternative world view from the mobile transnational perspective.

This thesis is an investigation into the nature of the 'postmodern' narrative strategies and fictional
methods in the work of two British Catholic writers. The work of David Lodge and Muriel Spark is
here taken as an example ofthe 'Catholic novel'. In order to determine ifthe overlap ofpostmodern.
and Christian-influenced narrative strategies constitutes more than a convergence or coincidence of
formal concerns, narrative form in these novels is analyzed in the light of neo-Tho mist and Tho mist
aesthetics, a traditional Catholic Christian theory of the arts. The 'postmodern' in these 'Christian'
texts becomes largely a coincidence of terminology. Narrative forms which can be classified as
'postmodern' can also be categorized using the terminology of Thomas Aquinas. The apparent
similarities betray radically divergent metaphysical presuppositions, however. The nature of the
Catholic 'difference' lies in the way postmodern forms are used to challenge the metaphysical
bases of those forms.English Studies
