Full textAbstract:
Les mémoires de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres sont un témoignage inestimable sur les relations entre l'Europe et la Chine pendant les années 1700-1750. Trois grands sujets ressortent de ces études menées principalement par Nicolas Fréret et Etienne Fourmont : la langue, la littérature et la chronologie. Ces derniers ont tenté de trouver les réponses aux questions posées lors des nombreux débats dans les milieux intellectuels. Fréret a rassemblé des faits historiques tirés de la littérature chinoise et les a analysés minutieusement. Il en a conclu que la langue chinoise n'est pas une langue philosophique et que la chronologie chinoise est authentique mais qu'elle ne doit pas remonter au delà de 2000 ans av. J. -C. Fourmont s'est davantage concentré sur les études linguistiques. Il est connu comme un grand orientaliste, notamment grâce à la rédaction d'un dictionnaire français-chinois et d'une grammaire chinoiseThe memoirs of the Academy of Letters and Literature are an invaluable testament to the relationship between Europe and China during the years 1700-1750. Three major areas emerge from these studies carried out mainly by Nicolas Fréret and Etienne Fourmont : language, literature and history. They have tried to find answers to questions raised during many debates in intellectual circles. Fréret gathered historical facts learned from Chinese literature and has analyzed them in detail. He concluded that the Chinese language is not a philosophical language, and that the Chinese chronology is authentic, but it does not go further back than 2000 BC. Fourmont, concentrated on linguistic studies, is known as a great Orientalist, especially for writing a French-Chinese dictionary and a Chinese grammar

Full textAbstract:
"Malgré le progrès de la technologie et l'augmentation du niveau de vie à Taiwan, les problèmes relationnels entre belle-mère et belle-fille existent toujours. C'est un problème de société: les mentalités n'évoluent pas aussi vite que le progrès de la société et l'on n'efface pas le poids de la tradition en si peu de temps. C'est un devoir impose par le ciel que d'entretenir ses parents âgés: cela fait partie de la pièté filiale. Le conflit des générations, la cohabitation aggravent encore le problème. Pour soixante-dix-sept pour cent des belles-filles interrogées, le problème des belles-mères reste "important" ou "très important", d'où l'intérêt de cette étude. La solution à ce problème, selon moi, est d'habiter au voisinage de ses beaux-parents âgés, mais pas avec eux. On pourra garder son indépendance tout en s'occupant d'eux. "Although the technology and the high standard of living make taiwan a modern country, the problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law does not disappear with the modern life. Mentalities do not develop as quickly as the progress of the society. The chinese people respect their traditions and their culture: to have respectful affection toward their parents, to attend to their old parents are a heavenly duty. Generation gap, cohabitation increase the gravity of this problem. Seventy-seven per cent of daughters-in-law enquired in this study think that this problem is "important" or "very important". How to resolve the problem? I think to live not far from her parents-in-law is a good solution, because the daughterin-law is independant, but at the same time, she can take care of them

This thesis shines a light on the Euroamerican reception of Chinese experimental art from 1990-2004.
A selection of twelve exhibitions held in the Euroamerican context on Chinese experimental art are analysed within this study and a elaborate look has been taken at the exhibition itself, the works on display , the exhibition catalogue and the reviews that have been generated. The study focusses on Chinese experimental artists overseas but gives a very good impression on how Chinese experimental art has been received in general in the Euroamerican context. Also an extensive part of this dissertation has been dedicated to explaining basic and more in-depth background information on Chinese experimental art in order to gain a better understanding of this art current.
Here, special attention has been paid to the overseas artists, and concepts such as transexperiences, hybridity, third space, diaspora and exile, and the “East-West” dichotomy.

May, Skyler Bart. "The Bell Springs Formation: Characterization and Correlationof Upper Triassic Strata in Northeast Utah." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/5539.
Full textAbstract:
Upper Triassic strata that lie between the Chinle Formation and Nugget Sandstone along the south flank of the Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah are distinctive. In the past, these rocks have been lumped together with the overlying or underlying units. These strata are equivalent to the Bell Springs Member of the Nugget Sandstone as defined in Wyoming and perhaps to the Rock Point Formation of the Chinle Formation near the Four Corners region. In this study, these rocks will be called the Bell Springs Formation following the usage of Lucas (1993) in Wyoming. The unit is regionally mappable in northeastern Utah, and is the sedimentologic transition from the fluvial-lacustrine environment of the Chinle Formation to the eolian depositional environment of the Nugget Sandstone. The Bell Springs Formation is comprised of interbedded fine- to medium-grained sandstone and siltstone, as well as planar laminated mudstone. The unit varies from planar laminated sandstone with abundant ripple marks, to cross-bedded sandstone that contains scoured channels filled with mudstone or sandstone. The mudstone beds are commonly mottled and contain desiccation cracks while both the mudstone and sandstone beds have rip-up clasts, occasional bioturbation, and small salt crystal casts. The thinly bedded mudstone and siltstone beds are purple to red to brown, and the sandstone beds vary in color from red to brown to orange or tan with green and gray mottling. The ripple structures with mud drapes indicate fluctuating deposition in low energy water. The presence of desiccation cracks, plant root traces, small eolian sand dunes, gypsum casts, crinkly algal mat beds, and bioturbation indicate intermittent subaerial exposure. Fluvial deposits by meandering streams, including point bar, levee, and splay deposits comprise a large part of this formation. Rocks of the Bell Springs Formation have previously been interpreted as either tidal flat or fluvial/lacustrine deposits. A tidal flat environment certainly may produce some of the features found in these deposits, such as, alternating erosion and deposition of interfingering channels and scours with rip-up clasts, ripples, flaser bedding, desiccation cracks, and bioturbation; however, these rocks lack some of the most important characteristics of tidal flat deposits such as herringbone-cross-stratification, general fining upward successions, and regionally associated sediments that would typically be found in shallow marine environments. We conclude that the sedimentary characteristics and regional setting of these rocks fit best with a fluvial environment interpreted as a meandering system being deposited on a broad floodplain in an arid to semi-arid climate. This depositional environment existed between the expanding Nugget Sandstone erg and the shrinking Chinle Formation as desertification increased during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic in what is now the western United States. This study not only helps solidify the understanding of the depositional history of these strata, it also clarifies the nomenclature of these formations for future mapping and research.

Full textAbstract:
In addition to alleviating pain and physical symptoms, caring for the psychosocial, spiritual and existential needs of terminal cancer patients is very important. Existential issue such as meaning is one of their major concerns. Meaning making can be a powerful mean to enhance the well being of these patients at their end of life. There is limited research on the meaning and meaning making experiences among the Chinese population. This study aims to examine the sources of meaning of these patients and illuminate how they make meaning at the end of life. Cultural features associated with meaning and meaning making at the end of life are explored as well.
The current study adopted a constructivist grounded theory approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit twenty terminal cancer patients from the palliative care unit. Semi-structured interviews and brief life review exercise were conducted with the patients. Forty-three interviews were produced and provided a foundation for the data, along with field notes, interview memos and journals.
This study revealed that sources of meaning among the Chinese terminal cancer patients were derived from four major domains. They were self domain, relational domain, physical domain and spiritual domain. These domains were interrelated and having dynamic interactions with each other. A proposed model of meaning making at the end of life also emerged from the collected data. It consisted of four processes: sense making, self constructing, script creating and experiencing sense of connectedness (The 4S Model). Meaning making at the end of life was found to be a cognitive, affective and relational process. Findings revealed the significant role culture and family play in the meaning and meaning making processes of Chinese terminal cancer patients.
Knowledge generated from this study informs the development of clinical intervention and practice to improve the well being of patients at the end of life. Implication for the development of meaning measurement and family intervention are suggested. Healthcare practitioners are equipped to move further on the path of developing a holistic care model at palliative care. This study also shed lights on promoting life education in the local community. Life can be brimmed with meaning even in the toughest hours.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Dans quelle mesure les cloches ont-elles contribué à la formation des paysages sonores dans les temples de Pékin des Ming et des Qing et à la construction des temples en tant qu’espaces sacrés de la ville ? En rendant pleinement compte de plusieurs types de matériaux, y compris les sources matérielles, les données épigraphiques, les textes religieux, les histoires locales et les écrits des lettrés, cette thèse de doctorat soutient que les cloches émettaient des sons spirituellement signifiants, jetaient des ponts entre différents mondes, reconstruisaient l’espace et structuraient le temps du site religieux qui les abritait. Elles donnaient aux temples de Pékin un environnement sonore particulier où une place majeure était donnée à l’absence de sonnerie, le calme, qui représentait l’identité sacrée d’une fondation religieuse chinoise idéale. Les habitants et les visiteurs de la capitale de l’époque impériale tardive ne souhaitaient pas seulement accomplir des échanges entre les dieux et les hommes dans les divers temples de la ville, mais cherchaient également des perceptions sensorielles extraordinaires, afin d’obtenir une expérience du divin éloignée du quotidien. Cela suggère que les études sur les temples chinois doivent chercher à combiner l’approche « historiographique » qui étudie des faits historiques ayant eu lieu dans les sites religieux, et l’approche « poétique » qui se préoccupe des manières dont ces sites sont représentés. Nous pourrons parvenir à la rencontre de ces deux axes de recherche en nous intéressant plus activement à la culture sensorielle dans les templesTo what extent did bells contribute to the formation of soundscapes in the temples of Ming-Qing Beijing and to the construction of the temples as sacred spaces in the city? By using multiple types of materials, including extant objects, epigraphic data, religious texts, local histories, and the writings of scholars, this PhD thesis argues that bells emitted spiritually meaningful sounds, built bridges between different worlds, reconstructed the space and structured the time of the religious site that housed them. They gave the temples of Beijing a particular sound environment where a major place was given to quietness, which represented the sacred identity of an ideal Chinese religious foundation. Residents and visitors to the capital in the late imperial period not only wanted to realize exchanges between gods and men in the various temples of the city, but also sought extraordinary sensory perceptions, in order to obtain a divine experience different from the everyday life. This suggests that studies of Chinese temples should seek to combine the “historiographical” approach, which studies historical facts that took place in religious sites, with the “poetic” approach, which illustrates how these sites are represented. We can achieve the meeting of these two lines of inquiry by taking a more active interest in the sensory culture in temples

La investigación que desarrolla esta tesis doctoral trata de fakes, del uso de archivos y del museo, tres elementos clave unidos por el contexto generado entorno al proyecto artístico titulado Las cajas chinas. Un relato que se desdobla como una matrioska, albergando en su interior las capas subyacentes y los vínculos que al cruzarse desencadenan un acontecimiento. La trayectoria que desplegamos origina un diálogo expandido entre dos emplazamientos –China y Expaña–, un viaje transversal y diacrónico dirigido a generar una narrativa ficticia a la vez que verosímil en torno a la copia y lo falso. El relato enlaza un episodio de nuestra historia reciente –la destrucción y desaparición del patrimonio artístico durante la Guerra Civil–, encadenándolo con el presente. Nos trasladamos a Dafen, un suburbio de Shenzhen (China) dedicado actualmente a la reproducción de obras de arte y conocido como Oil Painting Village. Las cajas chinas circulan por un escenario que asocia la macro-factoría de copias chinas con las grandes fábricas de la memoria; la producción masiva de réplicas de pinturas célebres elaboradas manualmente al óleo por la vasta comunidad de la ciudad de los pintores, transforma la noción de valor simbólico del patrimonio que configura el museo. El dispositivo museístico descontextualizó los objetos artísticos, convirtiéndolos en signos susceptibles de recombinación, y creó valor material de los bienes culturales. En el reverso del sistema artístico –como la cara opuesta de una moneda– situamos al gran aparato de la reproductibilidad china, que genera el beneficio del desarraigo de esos signos –perpetuamente disponibles para el reciclaje– y los pone a circular de nuevo. Nuestro objetivo concluye al introducir las copias chinas en el museo camufladas como “originales”, resultado de una maniobra de re- significación de la estructura de relaciones que enlaza el patrimonio cultural y los consumos globales.

Full textAbstract:
Les chaînes d'accrétion se développent au niveau des zones de subduction océanique et contribuent à la croissance de la croûte continentale. En Asie Centrale, le collage tectonique des Altaïdes comprend de nombreuses chaînes d'accrétion à l'origine de la formation de la croûte continentale asiatique au Paléozoïque. Basé sur l'approche combinée de données géochimiques, géochronologiques, paléomagnétiques et structurales, ce travail permet de caractériser l'architecture d'une chaîne d'accrétion (Junggar Occidental, nord-ouest Chine) et de déchiffrer les étapes de la croissance de la croûte continentale en Asie Centrale. L'étude des zircons détritiques indique une évolution géodynamique polycyclique du Junggar occidental. Le recyclage continu de la croûte juvénile accompagne le transfert épisodique de magmas mantelliques dans la croûte. Ces résultats suggèrent un contrôle de la croissance crustale par la géodynamique régionale. Le cycle paléozoïque inférieur correspond à la fermeture de deux domaines océaniques bordant des arcs intra-océaniques. La tectonique de nappes, la sédimentation syn-tectonique et le magmatisme alcalin intra-plaque caractérisent les collisions successives d'arc et de microcontinent à l'origine de l'arrêt de la subduction au Dévonien inférieur. La subduction des océans Ob-Zaisan au nord et Junggar-Balkash au sud entraîne le développement, de deux marges continentales actives au Dévonien moyen. L'accrétion de matériaux océaniques et terrigènes contribue à l'expansion des complexes d'accrétion. La formation de la virgation kazakh au Paléozoïque supérieur conduit à la subduction oblique de l'Océan Junggar-Balkash. Une déformation transpressive, marquée par des plis à axes verticaux affecte alors le complexe d'accrétion du Junggar Occidental. L'augmentation de la courbure de la virgation est à l'origine de décrochements qui accommodent le transport latéral des unités accrétées. Les rotations relatives entre les différents blocs se poursuivent au Mésozoïque suite à la réactivation intracontinentale de la chaîne.

In this thesis, the computational sound synthesis models of the ancient Chinese Chime-bells have been presented. The Chinese Chime-bell (also known as Chinese two tone bells) is one of the greatest inventions throughout the Chinese history for having various fascinating acoustical properties such as being able to produce two tones on one single bell. To further understand the acoustical properties, the sounds from a replicated Chime-bell set of Marquis Yi of Zeng had been sampled and analyzed. The pitch discrimination between the original set and this replica has been evaluated. Two models based on the acoustical features of the Chime-bells have been proposed to synthesize the bell sounds. The concept of the inharmonic digital waveguides has been adopted for the implementation of the models. The results show that Chime-bell like sounds could be successfully synthesized. More efforts will be put on real-time implementation and qualitative sound generation in the future.

Based on iconography of music and organology, this thesis uses the bell and drum tower of the National Heritage Temples of Taipei City as the study object to explore the relationship between visual image and music. Firstly, by looking into the origin of the bell and drum tower, to understand the function of the bell and drum tower and in what conditions it was set up throughout history, as well as to understand how the emphases were placed on the bell and drum in palace, city, and temple. Then, the musical imagery research procedural of Tilman Seebass is adopted to observe the bell and drum tower of the National Heritage Temples of Taipei City, which is regarded here as the static visual percept. The observation of this static visual percept includes the musical instruments’ outward appearance, decorative patterns, text contents, architecture and ornaments, so as to explore the multi-facade visual expressions and symbolic meanings of the music instrument in space. The discussion on the aspects of symbolism and culture also covers the dynamic sound. As this thesis also touches on the discussions about musical instruments, the aspect of organology is brought in to explore the ways bells and drums are used in specific cultural occasions to present the multi-facade of human life and to gain deeper understanding of the cultural meaning of these musical instruments. Finally, the meaning of the bell and drum tower in terms of the temple culture is discussed. The ritual ceremony of ringing bell and drumming on New Year eve to usher in the New Year is the most important purpose the bell and drum tower of the modern temple culture; as such, only through the recognition generated by the same life experience will enable this culture to pass on.

SUBJECT : A Research In Comparison Between Chinese And Japanese Proverbs About 「Eye」,「Belly」And 「Heart」 DEPARTMENT: Graduate School of Soochow University, Department of Japanese literature ACADEMIC YEAR: 2005 COUNSELOR:Lai, Jiin-Chiueh POSTGRADUATE: Yeh, Chien-Chen OUTLINE: Proverbs, cultural inheritance, are the production of our ancestor’ s wisdom and experience. Old as tales, they are still heard in our daily conversation and writings. It goes without saying that there’s a close relationship between Chinese and Japanese. Therefore, Chinese has a great influence on Japanese culture. Due to the different living background, proverbs change with time and history. This is what is going to be discussed. The range of this research is limited to the proverbs about eye, belly and heart, which have lots of interaction with our spirit. Chapter 1: Preface－motivation, range and approaches Chapter 2: Proverbs about eye Chapter 3: Proverbs about belly Chapter 4: Proverbs about heart Chapter 5: Conclusion The research shows that the most common characteristic of the interactions between eye, belly, heart and spirit is emotions. Because it is easier for eye, belly and heart to react to joy, anger, sadness and happiness. On the contrary, will, sense and consciousness won’t react immediately to our eye, and belly. The range of this research is limited to the reaction between eye, belly, heart and spirit. What caused by spirit change might not only be eye, belly and heart, but our mouth, hand and foot as well. This can be the next research.

This study compares and analyzes the Chinese translation versions of A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls published in Taiwan before the martial law was lifted in 1987. Though A Farewell to Arms enjoys huge popularity and wide acceptance by the public in Taiwan, readers are less familiar with For Whom the Bell Tolls. Therefore, the study also aims to unlock the mystery behind this phenomenon by examining the translation quality of each Chinese version of the two novels. The study is comprised of five chapters, with Chapter 1 giving a general picture of the study, including research direction and the framework of the study, as well as relevant previous studies. Chapter 2 touches on the life and works of Ernest Hemingway, and the summaries of A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls are also provided in this chapter. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 discuss and compare various Chinese versions of A Farewell to Arms and For Whom the Bell Tolls respectively, with examples focusing on paragraphs that manifest Ernest Hemingway’s pacifist views. Major findings of the study are laid out in the final chapter.
