The aspirations, mores, and family structure in Cypriot immigrants, which are illustrated in four cases of hysterical behaviour, have many similarities to nineteenth century Viennese society. Such behaviour may mask more sinister diagnoses; one of the cases remains diagnostically uncertain and another passed through a transient hysterical psychosis with Ganser-like symptoms. The cultural, dynamic, and nosological issues are discussed.

CULTURAL DYNAMIC IN THE URBAN EXPERIENCE SCAPE – AN ANALYSIS OF BRANDTS KLÆDEFABRIKBrandts Klædefabrik (Brandt’s Textile Mill) is a cultural cluster in the city of Odense, Denmark. The cultural experiences available at Brandts Klædefabrik cover a wide field and are relevant for people of all levels of education and all ages, embracing as they do not only fine culture but also triviality and excitement. Brandts Klædefabrik is therefore a culturally inclusive place, although its symbolic power is dominated by a cultural and economic elitetrying to maintain an exclusively controlled social and physical order in the urban space. However, Brandts Klædefabrik is part of a city which contains a wide range of cultural groups: a Danish cultural elite, immigrants, homeless people and drug addicts. In this cultural multiplicity Brandts Klædefabrik is a cultural cluster and an urban entertainment district which does not include marginalised groups. Paradoxically, the attempt to maintainan exclusive order to satisfy an audience with buying power runs against the creative profile of the area, in which cultural and social multiplicity are important values. The area around Brandts Klædefabrik is a public space; but if it is going to be a public domain and the scene of cultural exchanges between different groups in the city, it needs to become more culturally inclusive. Brandts Klædefabrik may turn into a public domain if a cultural dynamic and multiplicity are given the chance to unfold there.

This paper discusses the symbiotic relationship that developed between English-language periodicals published in Italy and major reading rooms in Rome and Florence. This relationship took various configurations – from Luigi Piale in Rome, who opened a reading room and published the weekly The Roman Advertiser, to the Gabinetto Vieusseux in Florence that provided access to the many English-language periodicals published in Italy – and created important spaces of transnational cultural interaction. The paper looks at the cultural practices and the forms of sociability represented by the reading of periodicals and the patronizing of reading rooms as ‘imported traditions’ brought to Italy by the many British cultured travellers and residents in the nineteenth century. It identifies the actors who promoted these cultural practices (editors, librarians, cosmopolitan intellectuals) and analyses their role as mediating figures who created in-between spaces where cross-cultural exchanges unfolded. The paper also discusses the broader transnational cultural dynamic at work as those cultural practices imported from England favoured a greater engagement of British visitors and expatriates with the Italian political and cultural environment.

In this information age, people are able to secure information, search for answers, and make informed decisions. Nonetheless, organizations are challenged to develop strong cultures and be agile to change. This paper initiates the exploration into organizational culture and the impact of employees' work culture. The focus is on working-class and societies having experienced social traumas and political changes, which ultimately formulate shared mental models and translate into work culture. By examining various societal scenes, questions are posed to deconstruct the impact of politics on workers and their work ethic. These scenes illustrate interactions and perspectives, which describe shared values by employees defined as work culture. Multiple levels of inquiry are presented to encourage further investigation into this possible opposing cultural dynamic within organizations. Suggestions of storytelling and meaning making are offered to support leaders in being strategic through staff development and organizational learning.

This chapter is concerned with changes in the understanding of remembering and forgetting. It pays particular attention to the emergence of alternative visions that challenge the traditional archival model of memory and offers new ways to conceive of mnemonic practices as cultural practices. Starting with a discussion of archival models in contemporary scientific memory research, it then examines new models of memory that aim to capture what archival models tend to ignore: the social, societal, and cultural dynamic of human remembering. In this way, the focus shifts to postarchival memory models that have emerged in clinical disciplines, the social sciences, and the humanities. The chapter concludes by discussing one approach to remembering and forgetting that conceives of them as inherently social practices—as practices that, it is suggested, should be understood after the model of conversation rather than the archival model of individual retrieval.

ASMR has skyrocketed to international popularity in recent years, and a thriving community and cultural exists around the phenomenon on YouTube. However, misunderstandings about the practice persist, and little is known about this community in terms of its texts and practices. This research draws on a multiyear digital ethnography into the ASMR culture and community on YouTube, where I analyze how microcelebrity, the attention economy, platform-specific dynamics, and content creation merge. Drawing on extant research that identifies reciprocity as a key cultural dynamic on YouTube, I argue reciprocity in the ASMR YouTube community, as well as the relationship between creator and viewer, can best be understood as transactional tingles: relaxation in exchange for likes, clicks, and views within the attention economy. Transactional tingles is also a contemporary blending of more traditional art patronage and dealer-critic systems, which offers insights into the role viewers and platforms play in content creation, digital labor, and precarity.

The Toraja ethnic has an oral tradition of Singgi' which is passed down orally from generation to generation. This tradition is carried out at rituals, which are spoken by tradition holders or groups of people. The study outlined in this article aimed to describe the Toraja ethnic culture represented in the vocabulary in Singgi’ speech. The focus of this study was to describe the cultural dynamic and the cultural attitude of Toraja ethnic represented in vocabulary in Singgi' speech. The study was conducted through a qualitative approach using hermeneutic analysis tools. The data of this research were speech in Singgi 'and the daily context and activities of the people of Tana Toraja. The data was collected through document studies, interviews, and observations. Through qualitative analysis and hermeneutic interpretation, it was found that in Singgi’ speech, there was an absorption of vocabulary from Indonesian and old vocabulary in Toraja. The diversity of vocabulary represented that in Tana Toraja society there was a cultural dynamic that requires the Toraja language to absorb vocabulary from other languages to convey the cultural messages. Singgi' speech used old words of Toraja language that were rarely used in daily communication to convey the cultural attitudes of the Tana Toraja people. The findings showed that the vocabulary used in Singgi' speech represented the Toraja ethnic culture. This finding has important benefits in preserving the culture of the Tana Toraja community, for teaching material in the development of character education, and as a reference in developing further studies.Keywords: cultural representation, Toraja ethnic, vocabulary, Singgi’ speechREPRESENTASI BUDAYA ETNIK TORAJA PADA PENGGUNAAN KOSAKATA DALA TUTURAN SINGGI’AbstrakEtnik Toraja memiliki tradisi lisan Singgi 'yang diturunkan secara lisan dari generasi ke generasi. Tradisi ini dilakukan pada ritual, yang dituturkan oleh pemegang tradisi atau kelompok orang. Hasil kajian yang diuraikan dalam artikel ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan representasi budaya etnik Toraja dalam penggunaan kosakata dalam tuturan Singgi’. Kajian ini memfokuskan pada pemahaman dinamika budaya dan sikap budaya etnis Toraja yang terepresentasikan pada kosakata dalam tuturan Singgi’. Penelitian dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan piranti analisis hermeneutik. Data penelitian ini berupa tuturan Singgi' dan konteks perilaku kesehrian masyarakat Tana Toraja. Data dikumpulkan melalui studi dokumen, wawancara, dan observasi. Melalui analisis kualitatif dan interpretasi secara hermeneutik, ditemukan bahwa dalam tuturan Singgi’, terdapat sejumlah kosakata serapan dari bahasa Indonesia dan kosakata lama dalam bahasa Toraja. Munculnya kosakata serapan tersebut merepresentasikan bahwa dalam masyarakat Tana Toraja ada dinamika budaya sehingga mengharuskan bahasa Toraja untuk menyerap kosakata dari bahasa lain untuk menyampaikan pesan budaya. Dalam menyampaikan sikap budayanya, etnik Toraja menggunakan kosakata lama yang tidak pernah digunakan lagi dalam komunikasi keseharian masyarakat Tana Toraja. Temuan ini memiliki manfaat penting dalam melestarikan budaya masyarakat Tana Toraja, untuk bahan ajar dalam pengembangan pendidikan karakter, dan sebagai referensi dalam mengembangkan studi lebih lanjut.Kata kunci: representasi budaya, etnik Toraja, kosakata, tuturan Singgi’
