AbstractEthnographic research in Vienna from 2009 to 2010 revealed how East Asians construct a collective regional identity by consuming Korean popular culture, known as hallyu. This paper is the first attempt at studying these immigrants as a group; scholars in Asian studies have previously focused on one nation. Unlike conventional studies of immigration, which focus largely on assimilation and integration in the new society and culture, this paper shows how immigrants construct their independent identities across national borders, and how advanced technology enables them to choose cultural content that evokes Asian values and sentiments. Hallyu thus informs their identity construction as East Asians in Europe.

A recente constituição do Conselho de Defesa Sul-Americano (CDS) proporcionou novos temas de estudo para pesquisadores da área de Segurança e Defesa. Tornou-se mister apreender de que forma os países da região buscam constituir-se como região e quais as implicações de uma identidade regional em Defesa, como propõem os documentos de fundação do CDS. Dessa forma, buscaremos analisar os documentos oficiais emitidos pelo CDS e, com o auxílio de instrumental teórico construtivista das Relações Internacionais, compará-los à narrativa proposta pelo ministro de Estado da Defesa brasileiro, Celso Amorim. A narrativa a a ser compreendida leva em conta os três principais documentos sobre Defesa no Brasil, tais quais a Política Nacional de Defesa (2005), a Estratégia Nacional de Defesa (2008) e o Livro Branco de Defesa Nacional (2012), além de discursos relacionados à temática e disponíveis no sítio eletrônico do Ministério da Defesa brasileiro. Inicialmente, faremos uma apreciação teórica acerca dos estudos de Segurança e Defesa, apresentando conceitos e definições – em especial no que diz respeito à construção de ameaças no nível regional. Abordaremos, sinteticamente, ideias de autores como Karl Deutsch (1957), Adler e Barnett (1998), e Alex Bellamy (2004). Além disso, será importante resgatar o que propõe Robert Walker (1993) quanto às construções identitárias serem baseadas nos limites entre o interno/externo, em alusão não apenas à noção de fronteira mas ainda às separações identitárias construídas nesse ínterim.Palavras-chave: América do Sul; Conselho de Defesa Sul-Americano; Identidade. Abstract: We seek to understand how the discourse of security and regional defense is employed by the former Brazilian Minister of Defense, Celso Amorim, is his official speeches, and the main documents published by the Ministry. It is our objective to establish the connections, similarities and diferences regarding the narratives about what seeks to constructo itself as a regional identity and the threats to this entity phisically and simbolically speaking. In this sense, we first theorically conceptualize the most importante terms and discussions to be presented afterwards – especially what regards to the ontological and epistemological positioning of the theories. We briefly discuss about the security communitiees and the role of the regionalization in the construction of identities and threats, and, with all that set, seek to understand how Brazil constructs itself as an actor to what the state understand that is inside and outside.Key-words: South America; Ministry of Defense; Regional Security; Identity.DOI: 10.20424/2237-7743/bjir.v4n1p92-110

While dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is essential after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the optimal duration is affected by various factors. However, the effect of ethnicity on DAPT duration has not been fully evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the different effect of DAPT duration by ethnicity. We searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, and relevant websites to search for randomized clinical trials (RCT) assessing the clinical impact of long term DAPT (L-DAPT) and short term DAPT (S-DAPT). Studies were divided by ethnicity, and we compared the efficacy and safety of DAPT duration in each ethnic group. Thirteen RCTs including 38,255 patients (five East Asian studies and eight non–East Asian studies) were eligible for analysis. For the primary outcome, L-DAPT showed a significantly lower rate of primary outcome only in non–East Asians (S-DAPT vs. L-DAPT, odds ratio (OR) = 1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02–1.32, p = 0.02), while in East Asians, the effect of S-DAPT and L-DAPT were comparable. S-DAPT significantly increased ischemic events only in non–East Asians (S-DAPT vs. L-DAPT, OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09–1.42, p <0.01), while bleeding events were decreased by S-DAPT in both ethnicities. These results demonstrate that the adequate DAPT duration after PCI may be different in East Asians.

A heteropatriarchy in moderation: Reading family in a Thai Boys Love lakhon

A subgenre of popular culture, Thai Boys Love (BL) series is increasingly significant within Asia, but it remains under-researched in the light of new series that push the parameters of viewer acceptance of homoerotic romance in Thai society. Drawing upon a close reading of the BL lakhon Love by Chance, this article explicates how Thai cultural concepts surrounding the family are reflected in the series. While acknowledging the impact of East Asian popular culture on Thai understandings of gender and sexuality, the article highlights how the themes of familial dynamics and parental acceptance in Love by Chance represent a glocalization of the BL genre, or BL with Thai characteristics. By introducing the concept of ‘moderated heteropatriarchy’ and sketching the role of family in Thai queer lives, the article suggests that there is still space for subtle challenges or changes to the heteronormative structure as plotted in Love by Chance, even as the lakhon continues to uphold national and patriarchal principles that deny overt expressions of homoerotic romance.

The article is focused on the phenomenon of regional identity and its relationship with processes of socio-historical development. The objective is to compare the regional identities of the inhabitants of two typologically specific regions located in Czechia. These regions’ specific characteristics are defined by dramatic interruptions in their development that occurred during the twentieth century. The existing regional identity of the inhabitants was assessed with regard to the role of the regions based on four principles used in the process of identity construction. Primary empirical data was obtained via questionnaire and subjected to further comparative analysis. In its conclusion, the article notes that the regional identities of the inhabitants of regions that experienced a discontinuity in their socio-historical development can vary considerably. In our conclusions, we augment the existing knowledge concerning the forms that the regional identities of inhabitants can take in regions with interrupted continuity in their development.

The initial events accompanying the foundation of sinology at the Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznań are called to mind against the background of the Asiatic context. The appearance of east Asian studies at AMU, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean studies, was a necessary academic enterprise serving the intercultural development of the Faculty of Modern Languages and Literature. In this respect, these studies made this faculty comparable with the corresponding faculties at other universities in Poland. The role of the Institute of Linguistics in this philological breakthrough has been emphasized, and certain personal experiences of the author have been recollected. The proposal concerning the establishment of the Faculty of Asian and African Studiesat AMU has been briefly justified.

This article examines how audiences engage with popular culture in ways that forge political awareness and civic engagement. Through exploring the various levels of engagement of Hungarian women with the 2017–2020 television adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, this study answers questions such as: How do Hungarian female audiences engage with topics raised in The Handmaid’s Tale? How does their engagement with the show encourage cultural citizenship? Based on in-depth interviews with twenty-two Hungarian women, this qualitative empirical research sheds light on the role of television drama series in facilitating the manifestation of cultural citizenship as an arena of identity-construction and community-formation.
