Abstract:

Nations sharing similar historical, linguistic, and social backgrounds tend to cluster around the same cultural values systems. However, changing socioenvironmental conditions drive cultural values systems to change over time. This study compared changing cultural values in Poland in the postcommunist era with values in the Czech Republic and Slovenia, using factorial ANOVA of published data from the European Values Survey and World Values Survey. The hypotheses were: (a) cultural values in Poland have moved from traditionalist values toward secularism; (b) Poland's rate of cultural values movement was more moderate than either the Czech Republic or Slovenia; and (c) the higher degree of religiousness in Poland mirrored the slower rate of movement toward secularism. The study participants were 20,038 adults from the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovenia. Findings showed 10 of 19 cultural values in Poland showed moderate movement toward secularism, confirming that traditional cultural values in Poland had decreased. However, the findings also showed cultural migration in Poland preserved strong traditional family and religious values despite the influence of far reaching social, economic, and political changes. This study revealed two important points: (a) as cultural values within groups of nations change, cultural values in similar clusters of nations tend to move in the same direction, and (b) deeply held traditional values tend to preserve the differentiation between nations, even as process of cultural values change continues.

Full text
Abstract:
A growing number of studies concerning cultural villages have in most instances tended to focus on the cultural village as almost legitimately self-explanatory and have not been particularly concerned with either how a particular history is produced in and through these villages, or with the ways that particular discourses and practices associated with heritage, tourism, community and development intersect in the production of these meanings. As such Mgwali Cultural Village seemed to promise something different in the form of cultural villages. The thesis argues that Mgwali Cultural Village is unique in the history of cultural villages in that it moves away from presenting a cultural village in Africa as tribal and primitive. It does this by opening up spaces for other aspects such as Christianity and resistance politics, story of Tiyo Soga rather than focusing and confining itself only to aspects cultural portraying Africans and traditional. It is imperative that cultural villages ought to be understood within a broader framework and context where its definition and presentation is not trapped into an anthropological paradigm thinking of exploring and discovering something new by tourists which they are not familiar with. However, the thesis also argues that much as Mgwali Cultural Village promised something new from the known through depiction of other aspects, those histories seem to be absent or marginal at the Cultural Village. The only aspects that are fore grounded are traditions and culture thus freezing Mgwali as a village and its people in time as if they have not evolved and its cultures are static and not dynamic. The thesis therefore explores all those contradictions, silences, or absence thereof of other stories and histories.

This research aims at proposing a widening of the understanding of catira, a traditional dance of the Brazilian popular culture. The dance territorializes itself in the region of the caipira culture and has its structure founded in the clapping of hands and on step dancing of the dancers under the rhythm of the moda de viola and of the recortado. The viola is therefore the essential instrument for the dance. Catira is a dance but also music and poetry, which find identification with the rural world of the southern center of Brazil. Although the practice is considered contemporary of the country´s colonization – and the catira groups are many – there are few records and studies that go about it. Therefore, initially to introduce the dance, its forms and elements were presented and there has been an attempt to analyze them bearing in mind its insertion in the studies concerning popular culture and folklore in Brazil. Following that the theoretical and methodological approach of the research is outlined. Catira becomes then the focus of an analysis built within interdisciplinary knowledge. Focus in which, a method and categories of analyses of social sciences and also of the arts, are supposed. Cultural performances rise as the interpretative axis of the research, as long as in relationship with other concepts that also establish themselves in the multidisciplinary perspective – i.e. tradition, socialization, memory, body and dance. Bearing in mind these concepts, we reach the analysis of the records gained from the field research of the work. The analytical narrative is built from the interviews, observation and participation, theoretical relationships and audiovisual records, mainly the photographs taken in the fieldwork. Firstly the dance of the catira within the ritual of folia of Companhia de Reis Bandeira Vermelha, in the town of Goiás/GO, is analyzed. After that the focus is turned to the town of Itaguari/GO and its enormous Folia de Reis, where the groups Irmãos Oliveira e Orgulho Caipira are to be found. Finally having the experience lived with the groups as a referential, the analysis is deepened with focus on the identities, the power relationships and the negotiating carried by the groups of catira. The understanding is that the identities sought and lived are related to the places and territories in which this performing heritage of the caipira culture takes place. The endurance is characteristic of these bodies that move harmonized and in pairs since immemorial times, in the conjunctures of nowadays – if permitted indicating a path beforehand – in a future not envisioned.
Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo propor uma ampliação da compreensão sobre a catira, dança tradicional da cultura popular brasileira. A dança se territorializa na região de cultura caipira e tem sua estrutura fundamentada no palmeado e sapateado dos dançadores no ritmo da moda de viola e do recortado. A viola é, pois, o instrumento essencial à dança. Assim, catira é dança, mas também música e poesia que se identificam com o mundo rural do centro-sul do Brasil. Embora a prática seja considerada contemporânea à colonização do país – e os grupos de catira sejam muitos –, são poucos os registros e estudos que versam sobre ela. Neste sentido, inicialmente se apresentou a dança, sua forma e elementos e buscou analisa-la tendo em vista sua inserção nos estudos acerca da cultura popular e do folclore no Brasil. Em seguida, delineia-se a abordagem teórica e metodológica da pesquisa, e a catira passa a ser o foco de uma análise construída na interdisciplinaridade dos saberes, no qual supõe-se métodos e categorias de análise das ciências sociais, mas também das artes. As performances culturais emergem como eixo interpretativo da pesquisa, desde que em relação com outros conceitos que também se estabelecem na perspectiva multidisciplinar – a saber: tradição, socialização, memória, corpo e dança. Tendo em vista esses conceitos, chega-se à análise dos dados obtidos a partir do trabalho de campo realizado na pesquisa. A narração analítica é construída a partir de entrevistas, observação e participação, relações teóricas e registros audiovisuais, sobretudo as fotografias produzidas em campo. Primeiramente, se analisa a dança da catira inserida no ritual da folia da Companhia de Reis da Bandeira Vermelha, na Cidade de Goiás/GO e, posteriormente, o foco se desloca para a cidade de Itaguari/GO e sua imensa Folia de Reis, onde se encontram os grupos Irmãos Oliveira e Orgulho Caipira. Finalmente, tendo ainda como referencial a experiência vivenciada com os grupos, o estudo é aprofundado focando as identidades, as relações de poder e negociações empreendidas pelos grupos de catira. Entende-se que as identidades buscadas e vividas se relacionam com os lugares e territórios nos quais são produzidos esse patrimônio performático da cultura caipira e que a resistência é característica desses corpos que se movimentam, harmonizados e em duplas, desde tempos imemoriais, nas conjunturas da atualidade e – se for permitido indicar um caminho de antemão – em um futuro a perder de vista.

Abstract:
Biculturalism is a relationship in government between the British Crown and the indigenous [Māori] people of New Zealand. I show that this relationship permeated some Māori healing practitioners’ healing knowledge and perception. A key way in which this occurred was through the practitioners recognizing biological and social boundaries between Māori and Pākehā [New Zealanders of European descent]. A second was through the practitioners’ embodiment of connections with social groups including the nation, a history and present shared between Māori and Pākehā and an idealized pre-contact past. A fundamental principle of Te Oo Mai Reia was that for the practitioners to harness the power of the various forces that sustained life they had to be in touch with their whakapapa [genealogy] for it was through their ancestors that they could commune with the Ultimate Deity, Io, the source of the most potent of all forces of life. A further key principle was that spiritually inspired and traditional Māori culture heightened the wellbeing of Māori, not modern, Pākehā culture. Spiritual and ancient knowledge was supra-conscious and made knowable through an embodied awareness of self and other. To make my argument I draw on literature inspired by Foucault that shows how states govern by implementing their operations and securing their penetration into the citizenry by drawing and building upon pre-existing bodies of knowledge and relations of power. I also draw on literature that shows how the human body bears the effects of such practices of government. To this literature I integrate perception by showing how, in this Māori healing context, the government of the bicultural nation-state worked through the ways the practitioners made sense with the body (especially through feeling, seeing and touching).

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation is about moral complexity. It shows how a focus on moral contradictions elucidates everyday life in Mazatlan, Mexico, and it uses this ethnography to develop analytical perspectives on more-general issues. This work treats the ways that people of Mazatlan-- mazatlecos--manage conflicting pressures to be both "traditional" and "modern," as they conceive of these ways of being. These two moral frameworks appear to be contradictory, yet mazatlecos expect themselves and other locals to combine them in a multitude of ways and contexts. This ethnographic and historical analysis supports yet reworks academic claims about a longstanding, pervasive, and significant contradiction between "traditional" and "modern" ways of being Mexican. Even relatively "modern" Mexicans employ a meta-expectation that good people will simultaneously combine various aspects of their identity. This preference contradicts "modern" social organization, which emphasizes the separation of identity into contextualized facets. Nonetheless, even the most "traditional" mazatlecos favored various aspects of "modernity," including contextualized identities. Individuals had different possibilities and desires and faced different consequences, based on other aspects of their identities. After introducing Mazatlan and my fieldwork experience (Chapter Two), I analyze Carnaval to delineate a key aspect differentiating "modernity" and "tradition" (Chapter Three). Then I analyze various elections to highlight another contradictory aspect of these frameworks and to show that this contradiction is important outside of entertainment contexts (Chapter Four). Chapter Five uses Mazatlan's disco utopias as a springboard for discussing the promise of tourism and for developing a process for avoiding unhappiness. Chapter Six assesses mazatlecos' "moral geographies" through a comparison of communicative practices in different zones. Chapter Seven is a vignette about a date that spanned two local zones and several issues. Chapter Eight contains a social-semiotic account of locals in the tourist zone and elsewhere, showing that even apparently trivial practices had lasting importance. Moral contradictions are an inherent part of human life. They are not solely the artifacts of globalization or other processes of intercultural domination, although these processes are likely to sharpen them. Moral contradictions sometimes spring from or engender conflict, but they sometimes result from or in integration.

Abstract:
Desde a virada para a prática nos Estudos Organizacionais, as diferentes vertentes das teorias da prática têm dado importante contribuição no sentido de desconstruir o predomínio da visão funcionalista sobre o fenômeno organizacional. Apesar disso, o tema de como a reprodução das práticas contribui para a produção da ordem social tem sido negligenciado pelos estudos baseados na prática nesse campo. Tal postura tem impedido a consecução de pesquisas que busquem compreender como as práticas são socialmente sustentadas, que interesses as orientam, quem se beneficia de sua permanência ou de sua interrupção, e assim por diante. Desse modo, reforça-se, em certa medida, a dificuldade de entendimento dos processos de permanência e mudança organizacional para além da razão instrumental e capitula-se diante do imperativo funcionalista que continua a privilegiar, tanto na teoria quanto na prática administrativa, a lógica do proveito material governado pela eficiência produtiva como o motivo primordial da existência e da permanência das organizações. Com base em tal percepção, proponho como objetivo desta tese repensar a questão da intencionalidade dos agentes organizacionais a partir de uma perspectiva prática e histórica, cultural e incorporada. Para realizá-lo, parto de um estudo etnográfico feito durante o ano de 2011, em uma fábrica de doces na cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Neste campo, foi possível vivenciar as dinâmicas de permanência e mudança da prática de uma doceria que é reconhecida localmente como “tradicional” pelo tempo de enraizamento na cultura. A observação participante aconteceu de modo direcionado para a compreensão dos processos de transmissão do saber-fazer doceiro, através da minha própria experiência de incorporação desse conhecimento prático, do contato instrutivo com a mestre doceira que comandava as atividades da fábrica e com as funcionárias e funcionários que lá trabalhavam na época da pesquisa. Assim, considero ter sido possível compreender de que maneira os referidos processos obedecem a uma lógica incorporada, alheia à lógica racional, e como os movimentos de mudança e permanência, endógenos ou exteriores a essas práticas, exercem impacto sobre a organização que se estrutura ao seu redor.
Since the practice turn in Organizational Studies, different strands of theories of practice have made important contributions in order to deconstruct the dominance of the functionalist view of the organizational phenomenon. Nevertheless, the issue of how the reproduction of practices contributes to the production of social order has been neglected by practice-based studies in this field. This attitude has prevented the acomplishment of researches that attempt to understand how the practices are socially sustained, what interests guide them, who benefits from their maintenance or from their interruption, and so forth. Thus, it reinforces in a certain extent, the difficulty on understanding the processes of organizational change and permanence beyond instrumental reason, and it gives in afterward the functionalist imperative that continues to privilege, both in management theory and practice, the logic of material gain governed by the productive efficiency as the primary reason of existence and continuity of organizations. Based on this perception, I propose as the objective of this thesis to rethink the intentionality of the organizational agents from a practical and historical, cultural and embodied perspective. Based on an ethnographic study made during 2011 in a candy factory in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, it was possible to experience the dynamics of permanence and change of the practice of a kind of confectionery which is recognized locally as "traditional" odd to the time of rooting in culture. The participant observation was directed to understanding the processes of transmission of the confectioner know-how, through my own experience of incorporating this knowledge, through instructional contact with the master confectioner who commanded the activities of the factory and through the contact with the employees who worked there at the time of the research. Thus, I found how these processes follow an embodied logic, oblivious to rational logic, and how the movements of change and permanence, endogenous or external to these practices, impact the organization that its structures around them.

Abstract:
"The American Tradition of the Literary Interview 1840 - 1956: A Cultural History" is the first study to document the development of the literary interview in the United States. A handful of critics have discussed the literary interview and traced it back to various European cultural traditions; however, I argue that, like the interview, which the British journalist William Stead wrote "was a distinctly American invention," the literary interview was a particularly American form. Drawing on archival research and new readings of primary sources, this project examines the literary interview's systemic growth and formal characteristics between 1842 and 1956. I trace connections among the American press, culture, and literary marketplace to offer an as-yet unwritten history of the literary interview. During Charles Dickens's 1842 North American tour, the first literary interviews were published in written-up, or paragraph form and resembled written snapshots or sketches. As a result of the cult of domesticity and the popular scandals of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the literary interview developed into a slightly longer and more narrative form that focused on an author's surroundings and living quarters. With the rise of yellow journalism and muckraking reporting during the first decades of the twentieth century, the literary interview became a more investigative and intrusive form; yet at the same time, the first in-depth, literary conversations with American authors were published. During the interwar period, the second wave of "girl reporters" and lady interviews transformed the written-up literary interview into a more nuanced form that exhibited rhetorical and literary flourishes. With the development of the New Yorker profile and the Paris Review interview in the mid-twentieth century, the literary interview branched off into two distinct modes: the profile and the author Q & A. This history of the literary interview offers a model of reading mass media communications in terms of both content and form. In doing so, this project chges the critical frameworks that dismiss the literary interview as ancillary to literature and articulate the importance of interviews, communication, and conversation in American culture.

Murray, Eric A. "Tradition and innovation in the pedagogy of Brazilian instrumental choro." Thesis, Kent State University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3618861.

Full text
Abstract:

Choro is a traditional Brazilian music that began in Rio de Janeiro during the latter half of the nineteenth century. A virtuosic instrumental music, choro developed through Brazilian interpretations of European dance genres, especially polka and waltz. Participation by both amateur and professional musicians characterizes choro's traditional pedagogy, a reflection of informal and formal learning processes and contexts. At the turn of the twenty-first century, choro schools now offer venues for defining and validating the tradition as well as inspiring an atmosphere for innovation and creation. Inherent within the concept of tradition is the dichotomy of continuity and change. This study exposes how institutions negotiate the past and present through a comparison of current and historic pedagogy and modes of learning. Choro institutions use traditional and innovative modes of learning to support and enhance the genre's current practice through community organization, which sustains and contributes to its continued performance. Chapter one focuses on defining choro music, first discussing the etymology of the word 'choro,' followed by a survey of choro's history and review of choro literature. The chapter concludes with an explanation of this investigation's purpose. In chapter two I posit the notion that a music community practices and performs choro. Biographies and stories of choro's past and present community members reveal how they learned choro. The chapter ends with an analysis of the processes that establish and reinforce the community. Chapter three examines how people learn choro. I offer prevailing learning perspectives—acquisition, participation, and knowledge creation—and establish categories for modes of learning—formal, non-formal, and informal—to define the processes and contexts involved in learning choro. Chapter four discusses the musical codes that characterize choro, what the choro community describes as a musical language. The chapter ends with a description of the curriculum at Escola Portatil de Musica, the school case study used for this dissertation. Chapter five is the summation and conclusions, revealing why musicians learn choro music.

The present study investigated the main strategies and politics, internal and external, articulated and developed by mistress/owner of Bumba meu boi of Liberdade Boi of Leonardo, to ensure the legacy left by its father, Leonardo , great teacher and symbol of traditional Boi of Maranhão and eminence of great prestige accent zabumba. Legacy that matches his attitude, loyalty and commitment to the promise that it is his duty to put the Boi on the street. To try to identify and interpret the settings that involve the universe of Maranhão popular culture, we broke into a grounded ethnographic work supported by the theoretical assumptions of the Cultural Theory of Geertz (2012), having as its guideline, however, to lead to the identification and analysis of the strategies and policies developed internally and externally in Boi , the principles of the Theory of Marcel Mauss (2003) on social exchanges or gifts, and identifying, on that path, the organizational culture undertaken by Leonardo and updated by Regina, heiress of the Boi, approaching dynamics of a traditional cultural family organization, of modern organizational logic compared to social, contemporary political and economic transformations.

Legado que corresponde à sua postura de fidelidade e compromisso à promessa que tem como obrigação botar o Boi na rua. Para tentar identificar e interpretar as configurações que envolvem esse universo da cultura popular maranhense, partiu-se para um trabalho etnográfico ancorado nos pressupostos da Teoria Cultural de Geertz (2012), tendo como fio-condutor, entretanto, para levar à identificação e análise das estratégias e políticas desenvolvidas internamente e externamente no Boi, os princípios da Teoria de Marcel Mauss (2003) sobre as trocas sociais ou dádivas e nesse percurso identificando a cultura organizacional empreendida por Leonardo e atualizada por Regina, herdeira do Boi, aproximando a dinâmica de uma organização familiar cultural, tradicional, da lógica organizacional moderna ante às transformações socais, política e econômicas contemporâneas.

Abstract:
The Kathmandu Valley’s ancient stone spouts system provides a case study to understand uneven processes of urban modernization. Interviews and archival material from fieldwork in the Lalitpur District of Kathmandu provide evidence to understand the role of traditional infrastructure in modernization efforts. Rather than assuming there is something inherently traditional or modern, my research investigates ways in which people position themselves around ideas of tradition and see infrastructure as more than operational. Findings indicate that the labeling of the stone spout system as traditional through modes of use, management, valorization, and modification point to a dissatisfaction with modern development. This research provides a contemporary example of the traditional, demonstrating that despite dominant urban theorizing, urban modernization and the erasure of tradition are an impossible and incomplete process. These findings extend post-colonial urban scholarship by considering cities beyond limiting and universalizing categories of development. This thesis includes unpublished coauthored material.

Abstract:
The Gaozhou area in Guangdong province has been recorded in history since the Qin (秦) dynasty. In these historical records, there are various kinds of traditional cultural practices passed from ancient times to modern days. Some of these practices represent the cultural tradition of southwestern Guangdong region and they are a combination of the Cantonese and Hakka cultural heritage. One of such combined Cantonese-Hakka heritage is Nianli, a most important festival taken by local people as the most important event in the year. However, few scholars pay attention to the Nianli Festival as an important representative cultural heritage. Hence, it is valuable to look the Nianli Festival and find out what are the intangible cultural values that make it so treasured by villagers that it is a widespread practice in southwestern Guangdong. The scope of the research is about how the Nianli Festival could be considered as intangible cultural heritage. On this basis, we can discuss further about the authenticity and the core values that have to be considered when protecting the heritage. The focus is about the tradition of the Nianli（年例）Festival. Nianli is a traditional practice popular among southwestern Guangdong, and in this dissertation, the case is adopting a villages communities surrounding the Zaohu Temple（皂湖庙）. The methodology of the research is by using cultural mapping to map the oral history and practice of villagers from the Zaohu Temple community about their Nianli Festival.

Abstract:
Modern architecture has lost its sense of place by the adoption of practices like standardization and universal modularity, over the focus and influence of unique local building practices. However, looking outside of the cultural main stream works of architecture, there exists some built structures with such purity around how they were constructed and a form of honesty deeply embedded within their material usage. Having been idealized in such a locally specific manner, these attributes become the essence of belonging that ties the building to its particular place. In this thesis, I have considered architecture both within regional or vernacular architectural traditions and the unconstrained means and methods of modern architecture. I looked at how modern technologies related to fabrication can be influenced by the subtle adaptations that traditional architecural crafts have developed, unique to specific regions.

Anthropology
Ph.D.
This dissertation investigates the production and reception of a modern transnational pan-indigenous ideology and multi-plex identity, through the acquisition of Danza Azteca expressive cultural practices. My research is situated within the Quetzalcoatl-Citlalli Danza Azteca group, based in Sacramento, California. I argue that through the embodied act of dancing, danzantes are able to access, reconstruct, and express socio-historical memories, feelings, and their sense of space and place, effectively creating a Mexica identity and way of life based in a pan-indigenous ideology, a decolonized consciousness. I explore the expressive cultural practices and the processes that each danzante participates in to create this pan-indigenous ideology and identity. I explore the transformative power and habitus of Danza Azteca, an emergent social movement, and I investigate its ability to act as a vehicle for self-representation for individual danzantes as well as the larger Chicana/o and Native communities in which it is situated. Danza encompasses more than just the physical act of dancing. Danzantes are engaged in the movement, music, as well as the multiple visual representations of danza. A danzante may utilize one or more of danza's expressive cultural practices to produce and express the various manifestations of their multi-plex indigenous identities. Danza is seen not as a dance or a religion, it is viewed among the danzantes as a way of life: as prayer, tradition, heritage, history and dancing identity. I argue that through the expression and reception of danza at Danza Azteca dance events, the indigenous ideology acquired, and the expressive cultural practices shared by the danzantes, grant them the power to construct, produce and express a highly politicized pan-indigenous identity. The production of this pan-indigenous identity and ideology confronts past geo-political and ethnic boundaries and is grounded in the specific socio-political relationships the Quetzalcoatl-Citlalli group is embedded in and the corresponding ideology of the Maestro of the Danza group. I explore how the danzantes connect with socio-historical memories via movement, as well as in Danza art vis-`a-vis the images and symbols on their trajes and armas. I show how danzantes employ Nahua art and symbolism as representations of their gendered, social and cultural identity. I focus upon the body as the site where memories are stored, accessed, and expressed. The performance, experience, and reception of dance is a particularly powerful site for the embodiment, expression and reception of identity and memory.

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

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the so-called revival of local traditions in reform-era China. It compares the different paths of adapting local traditions to market transitions and a changing political landscape. Three questions guide this study: 1) given state suppression of tradition, to what extent is power and society in localities still structured by traditional practices? 2) What determines how a particular community can provide support to individual members? 3) Does the cultural legacy of a community constrain how the community can respond to new situations? And how easily can a community reformulate the past to suit the present need? This study argues that local communities have actively used traditional practices to build community strength and deal with a variety of community issues arising from changes in the political landscape and socio-economic situations. Traditional practices are not nostalgia, but are the base for collective action and social organization in rural communities. The revival of traditional practices constructs community identity, defines how one relates to others, and instructs how one experiences the group to which one belongs. This study shows that the same sets of cultural practices and symbols with different arrangements can produce different degrees of community solidarity and strength. Variation on the use of traditional practices for building community in different localities is explained through an interactive model with a number of factors jointly shaping the community strength. These are the local legacy, the state, the new market economy, and interests of individual community members. These factors have different interactive relations in each local community, and result in different degrees of community strength. This study adds to our understanding of reform era China in two particular aspects. The first is to demonstrate how the collective aspect of traditional practices has worked in rural communities. The second is to demystify the effectiveness of Chinese culture on economic development. My study does not treat Chinese culture as a holistic system. Rather, it shows that in economic behavior there is nothing essentially Chinese, such as using lineage or family networks. Cultural utility, such as strong and effective lineage networks, is a result of complex interaction among top-down state forces, the market, local culture, and individual interests, and cannot be duplicated simply out of functional utility and rational calculation.

Det har skett stora förändringar inom kulturarvsfältet under senare tid, immateriella världsarvs, har öppnar upp för nya områden att utforska i termer av kulturarv. Idrotten och i synnerhet supporterkulturen har aldrig betraktats som en del av kulturarvsfältet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om vi kan se fenomenet supporterkultur som ett kulturarv och hur det i så fall uttrycks. Ser supportrarna på sig själva som en del av kulturarvet och finns det skillnader mellan supportrar från olika lag och idrotter? Hur kan vi jämföra supporterkulturens kulturarv med nationens, som en form av föreställd gemenskap? Källmaterialet består i den första delen av webbplatserna och souvenirshopar till de tre klubbarna Djurgårdens IF, Edsbyns IF och Leksands IF och deras supportrars. Den andra delens källmaterial består av ett online-frågeformulär som supportrar svarade på. Metoden för att analysera materialet består av en innehållsanalys och diskursanalys. Svaren kommer vidare att diskuteras utefter teorin om föreställd gemenskap från Benedict Anderson och orientalism från Edward Said. Undersökningen visar på att fler av de uttryck som används inom supporterkulturen kan förstås i termer av kulturarv

Abstract:
Understandings of the Marshall Islands require attention to the interplay of multiple discourses of tradition, modernity, chiefs, development, and democracy from multiple sources that critically interact and mutually construct the Marshall Islands. This multi-sited, multi-vocal ethnography explores the reproduction and transformation of historic power relationships between Marshallese chiefs and commoners who incorporate and "indigenize" foreign discourses and resources into culturally informed models and practices of authority. In relationships of unequal power, such as that defined by the Compact of Free Association between the United States and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, dominant global discourses about culture and progress enable both local and transnational hegemonies. These discourses are contextually analyzed as they are invoked and challenged in Nitijela [parliament] debates, in evaluations of the Compact of Free Association, in elites' autobiographical reflections on Marshallese-American relationships, and in foreign media representations. Historical shifts in the political and economic powers of Marshallese chiefs through three colonial administrations, and the growth of a commoner elite class since World War II further highlight the ways foreign resources are appropriated for specific local purposes that transform understandings of power and authority. With discourse as both object and method of analysis, the agency of local actors is both foregrounded and contextualized. Simplistic characterizations of chiefs, elites, commoners, and foreigners' are complicated through close attention to the ways local loyalties, colonial histories, political rivalries, and global discourses inform and frame expressions of Marshallese identities.

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

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the transmission and role of poetry and song within the Somali community in London’s King’s Cross, which has developed since 1991 as Somalis have fled from violence in their homeland. I explore the relationship between past and present, continuity and change within Somali oral artforms, and the role of song and poetry in transmitting cultural knowledge. I also consider the potential of sound archives – specifically the British Library’s World and Traditional Music section, which neighbours the Somali community in King’s Cross – to support the continuation of oral tradition and impact upon individual and collective memory processes within diasporic communities. I demonstrate the ongoing role of poetry and song in mediating and communicating relationship with place and negotiating multiple subjectivities among Somalis in the diaspora, presenting examples of Somali community members in King’s Cross renewing, constructing and expressing sense of belonging to different locales and group identities through composing, listening to, discussing and performing song and poetry. With “proactive archiving” (drawing on Edmonson’s “proactive access” 2004: 20) at the heart of my methodology, I elucidate the relationship between song as an archival form and the place and practice of ethnomusicology sound archives, demonstrating the challenges and benefits of engaging diasporic communities with archival recordings. I consider the dynamism of the Somali oral network and the ongoing mobility and change experienced by Somali residents of King’s Cross, which stands in notable contradistinction to the permanence and fixity of the British Library, and I call for a move forward from the notion of proactive archiving to one of sustainable archiving – an approach that would empower community members to record and archive their personal musical heritage in a systematic and ongoing way.

Full text
Abstract:
The seventh century in Anglo-Saxon England offers a particularly rich historical period in which to examine the material effects of cultural contact between disparate cultures. As it lacks close contemporary textual accounts of the events taking place and the cultural response to the resultant changes, the material record becomes the site upon which that dialogue plays out. This study is primarily concerned with the art of what might be considered a transitional period in Anglo-Saxon England, the seventh century, between the arrival of the papal mission from Rome in 597 CE and the beginning of the eighth century when Christianity seems to have become well established throughout much of the region. At its core, this study is intended to present an iconographic, art historical examination of the artwork produced in this historical period, focusing predominantly on decorated metalwork, specifically personal ornament, as a medium for the transmission of iconography. To that end, given the scope of the historical events and material artefacts encompassed within that time period, it will focus primarily on traditional iconography, the so-called Germanic motifs, and their persistence and resurgence in response to the incoming Mediterranean influences. The artwork, specifically the metalwork, demonstrates a valuation and retention of longstanding traditions, both iconographic and aesthetic, which seem to be in direct response to the introduction of a competing culture. This embracing of tradition does not mean that significant cultural change was occurring throughout the seventh century, nor does it necessarily indicate a societal resistance to that change; however it does reveal that there was a level of uncertainty about the changes taking place and a resultant desire for the familiar, symbolic and significant traditions of the remembered past.

Full text
Abstract:
In mainstream literary histories, Aloysius Bertrand (1807-1841) is still remembered as the canonical inventor of the prose poem in France. The established classification of Gaspard de la Nuit (1842) within the realm of the prose poem inevitably involves a retrospective appreciation of Bertrand’s work in light of the better-known authors that succeeded him in the history of this genre, such as Baudelaire and Mallarmé. The result is that Bertrand is often viewed as the inventor and/or the precursor of this genre; an important but, ultimately, minor contributor to its development. This hindsight brings with it a risk of critical anachronism against which Bertrand's contribution is often downplayed, especially because his thematic choices are seen to be outmoded, when compared to works by poets writing decades later. This thesis is a re-examination of Bertrand's Gaspard de la Nuit, incorporating an analysis of the cultural context that contributed to its production. The central argument is that in order to fairly assess Bertrand’s work, it is crucial to consider the poet’s contribution to, as well as his position in, the wider cultural exchange typical of his time. Using this contextual and historical approach, this thesis examines and challenges some of the main traditional considerations of Bertrand, such as his being a petit romantique, his provincialism, his unoriginality, and his role as the precursor and/or inventor of the prose poem. The overall aim is to assess fairly Bertrand’s unique synthesis of contemporary cultural and literary material with his own original work. By emphasising the crucial role of cultural exchange at the time of Gaspard de la Nuit’s production, we are thus able to begin to understand Bertrand in his own terms, rather than those of his successors, ourselves included, challenging commonly-held views and opening up new avenues for research.

Abstract:
The thesis carries out a critical examination of the problematic and complex dynamics aroused by the conceptual gap between the Modernity and Tradition, suggesting that such polarization is present in the way people think and talk about sex and sexuality in Kenya. Considering the difficulties of implementing Comprehensive Sexuality Education in Kenyan secondary schools, the study questions the possibility of isolating and distancing different sexual values and attitudes, and supports instead the need for a different approach to teaching sexuality, capable of bridging those differences through an inclusive language. Digital Platforms are critically examined as potential spaces for the realization of the theoretical project of an “Ecology of knowledges”, thus as places for developing respectful and comprehensive dialogue about sexuality among adolescents.

Publicada entre os anos de 1956 e 1970, a Revista do Livro era o órgão oficial do Instituto Nacional do Livro. Seu projeto foi retomado pelo Departamento Nacional do Livro - subordinado à Fundação Biblioteca Nacional - em 2002. Idealizada pelo poeta gaúcho Augusto Meyer, a revista reuniu em suas páginas nomes significativos da intelectualidade brasileira em suas diferentes fases de publicação, que coincidiram com diferentes momentos políticos brasileiros. Sua primeira fase, de 1956 a 1961, compreende exatamente o período do Governo de Juscelino Kubitschek e possui 24 números divididos em 20 volumes. Sua segunda fase, de 1964 a 1970, ocorreu durante o período da Ditadura Militar no Brasil, com 19 números publicados em 17 volumes. E sua terceira e atual fase, iniciada em 2002, coincide com a eleição de Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, do Partido dos Trabalhadores para a Presidência da República e recupera a sequência numérica da revista. O último número lançado, em 23 de julho de 2015, foi o 55, totalizando 12 números em 12 volumes. Diante dessa proliferação de números, optamos por realizar um recorte na definição do corpus de pesquisa para a presente tese, focando na primeira fase da revista. Assim sendo, trabalharemos com os 24 primeiros números, publicados entre os anos de 1956 e 61, ampliando o olhar para a sua fase embrionária, ou seja, para os anos de planejamento e criação do Instituto Nacional do Livro e da sua revista. A presente tese sustenta a hipótese de que a Revista do Livro atuou a partir de um projeto político, literário e cultural específico, cujos objetivos eram imaginar e selecionar as tradições que serviriam de base para (re)fundar a Literatura Nacional a partir da constituição de um cânone baseado nos grandes vultos da historiografia literária.

Résumé : La Revista do Livro (Revue du Livre) fut publiée au Brésil entre les années 1956 et 1970, en tant que revue officielle de l'Instituto Nacional do Livro (Institut National du Livre), organe du gouvernement fédéral du Brésil responsable de la politique publique sur le livres et les bibliothèques entre 1938 et 1970. En 2002, la Revista do Livro fut reprise par le Departamento Nacional do Livro (Département national du livre), subordonnéà la Fundação Biblioteca Nacional (Fondation bibliothèque nationale). Le projet conçu par le poète Augusto Meyer, avait attiré d'importants personnages de l'inteligentzia brésilienne au long des différentes étapes de sa publication. Chacune de cellescia correspondu à des différents moments politiques du pays. Dans sa première phase, la Revista do Livro fut publiée entre 1956 et 1961, période qui correspond à celle gouvernement du président Juscelino Kubistchek. La deuxième phase de publication, de 1964 jusqu'à 1970 correspond à la période de la dictature militaire au Brésil. La phase actuelle débuta en 2002, la même année de l'élection du président Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, le premier élu d'un parti de gauche à la tête du gouvernement au Brésil. Cette thèse se propose d'analyser, la première phase de publication de la Revista do Livro qui constitue son corpus. La présente thèse part de l'hypothèse que à travers la compréhension de l'action de la revue se dégage un projet politique, littéraire et culturel spécifique dont les objectives étaient d'imaginer et de sélectionner parmi les traditions brésiliennes celles qui devaient être la base de la formation d'une spécificité de la Littérature Brésilienne : la Littérature Brésilienne des « grands hommes ».

Abstract:
My work is about the feeling of standing in between two worlds of my cultural heritage. To feel connected but at the same time not connected to them. The feeling of missing out in one of my cultural heritage because of the language that I do not fully speak. I use a traditional craft from that side to build a bridge to fill the gap. It is about combining my heritages and the connection/disconnection and fuse them together into one as I am a person of two cultures. By not putting myself in a box that the society wants me to fit in to, I challenge that norm also in my work. I transformed the traditional craft placed in a room of a house to become jewelry. The wearer is allowed to choose what kind of jewelery it is and it can be placed on many different ways. My work is about investigate the meeting of craft on a body, and body in a craft. Its about to invite the Thai practice to my Swedish practice and vice versa and fuse them together.

This work aims to show the history and the record of Congada demonstration in Pires do Rio and Catalan-GO. In October celebrates the patron saint of blacks Our Lady of the Rosary, through rituals, songs and prayers for the members representing the coronation of King of Africa and devotion in honor of the patron saint. The study was conducted with literature and participatory methodology interview and sought essentially answer the questions: Has there been any change in the party over the years in the group, has some divergence among members Responses indicated for the lack of unity of the group, lack of community support, lack of interaction with the Catholic Church the congadeiros and the transformations that constantly flock in party. Para understand the changes that have happened and are still happening around the Congada ritual in Pires do Rio and Catalan, the emergence myths the songs, I propose to analyze the reports from the components, congadeiros and former members of society the reality of this festivity. In this sense, we seek to deconstruct the idea that the traditions can not be changed.
Este trabalho tem a finalidade de mostrar as diferenças e similaridades entre as Congadas de Pires do Rio e Catalão, demonstrando que cada uma tem uma história e características particulares. No mês de outubro celebra a padroeira dos negros Nossa Senhora do Rosário, através de ritos, músicas e orações que representam para os integrantes a coroação do rei da África e a devoção em homenagem à santa protetora. O estudo foi realizado com pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevista de metodologia participativa e procurou responder essencialmente as questões: Houve alguma mudança na festa ao longo dos anos? No grupo, tem alguma divergência entre os integrantes?As respostas indicaram para a falta de união do grupo, falta de apoio da comunidade, falta de interação da Igreja Católica com os congadeiros e as transformações que acorrem constantemente na festa. Para entendermos as mudanças que aconteceram e ainda acontecem em torno do ritual Congada, em Pires do Rio e Catalão, o surgimento, os mitos, as músicas, proponho analisar a partir de relatos dos componentes, ex-congadeiros e membros da sociedade a realidade desta festividade. Neste sentido, buscamos desconstruir a ideia de que as tradições não podem ser mudadas.
