This study examines the dynamics of cultural politics in reality television shows featuring North Korean resettlers (NKR2) in South Korea. As existing studies focus on the role of media representation reproducing a dominant ideology for the resettlers, this paper focuses on the specific media rituals of NKR2 programs, which can be seen as a product of the neoliberalist localization process of the global media industry. In doing so, this paper demonstrates how NKR2 programs interrupt the current dynamics of emotions in regard to North Korean resettlers in South Korea. We argue that in shaping civic identity as an effect of the NKR2 show, cultural politics of citizenship in South Korea on North Korean resettlers serve the formation of relatively conservative and sexist civic identity.

Effects of different culture media (Bd-2, Bd-3, Bd-4 and IFP), different culture vessels (conical flasks, plastic bowls and earthen pots) and different cultural conditions (stock, pilot plant and shade culture) on coiled and straight filament characteristics of Spirulina were studied. Stock culture maintained under special conditions, retained coiled filament characteristics even after 17 years, while Spirulina filaments in pilot ponds lost their coiled characteristics. Food value of the straight filaments was acceptable and their survival capacity was more than that of coiled filaments. Key words: Spirulina, Media culture, Vessels culture, Cultural condition, Filaments character.  DOI = 10.3329/bjsir.v43i3.1152Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 43(3), 369- 376, 2008

This paper examines the connection between ethnic identity, the articulation of these identities through discourse and the ideologies indexed by these identities in the interaction of Malaysian speakers. Based on selected episodes of radio discussions, the study focuses on how speakers identify or self-categorise themselves, in such a way that makes ethnic identity relevant to the discussion. The study draws upon existing literature on types of identities in interactions and membership categorisation analysis (MCA) in investigating how speakers make ethnic identity relevant to the discussion on Malaysian issues through the act of self-categorisation. In the context of these discussions, the membership categorisation device (MCD) ‘Malaysian’ and ethnic identities acquire very specific meanings through the practice of self-categorisation. While some speakers focused on the ethnic culture and traditions, others are more interested in sharing their experiences based on their own ethnic identities and interactions amongst the society. Social issues like dealing with rights and obligations of certain ethnic or social groups and developing one’s sense of ethnic identity, among others, motivate speakers to offer their stance on these issues. In this way, their views and expressions of ethnic identity come to position themselves in terms of these interactional specific roles and identities as Malaysians.

In chapters devoted to individual television programs, adult and young adult literature, and comics, the authors collected in The Woman Fantastic in Contemporary American Media Culture discuss feminist negotiation of today’s economic and social realities through the image of the fantastic female. Senior scholars and rising academic stars address figures from Wonder Woman and She-Hulk to Talia Al Ghul and Martha Washington; from Battlestar Gallactica’s female Starbuck to Game of Thrones’ Sansa; and from Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty Norville to Cinda Williams Chima’s The Seven Realms.

This article integrates empirical findings from research in two cultural groups in the United States: Chicanos and Appalachians. Factor analysis of survey data concerning ethnicity gathered in the two groups produced similar factor patterns indicating three general dimensions of ethnicity: ethnic culture, ethnic group membership, and ethnic identity. Ethnic culture is the component of ethnicity that refers to the pattern of behaviors and beliefs that sets a group apart from others. Ethnic group membership refers to the network of people with whom an individual is in contact, and the ethnic affiliation of those people and the groups they form. Ethnic identity encompasses the perceptions of and personal affiliation with ethnic groups and cultures. Specifically, ethnic identity consists of: the perception of differences among ethnic groups; the feelings of attachment to and pride in one ethnic group and cultural heritage as opposed to others; and, at least where there are perceived physical differences between groups, the perception of prejudice and discrimination against one's own ethnic group. The dimension of ethnic identity is illustrated in depth with case study data collected during the Chicano research.

The article discusses the features of ethnic culture inherent in the Old Believers of Altai related to the history of Russian Orthodoxy of the pre-schism period, in which it showed its exceptional ability to integrate non-Russian nonChristian peoples by broadcasting a Christian worldview, without affecting the foundations of their ethnic originality and without suppressing their ethnic identity. The nature of this ability is rooted in the specifics of Russian Orthodoxy, organically linked to Slavic pre-Christian culture.

<p><em>A wave of spiritual seekers can be used as a marker for the presence of a new culture known as culture media. In the era people trying to meet the material and spiritual needs by using technology media, even social media can be used as a place of worship for the people of religion, they discuss, even tafakkur in the virtual and artificial spaces. That's when  informationresources become very important meaning in human spiritual fulfillment. Library institute as a resource center, becomes very urgent to be developed and updated in the face of such phenomena. Building a high rise building to build a library is important, but building information systems in the library is much more important. Data and information in the digital age prefers soft data to the material data printed such as books and research journals are printed on a sheet of paper.    Then presumably have been urged to develop a digital library at each college, because college is still regarded as a center of knowledge and information, including religious information.</em></p><p><em>Munculnya gelombang spiritual seekers bisa dijadikan sebagai penanda akan hadirnya budaya baru yang dikenal dengan istilah budaya media (media culture). Di zaman tersebut orang berusaha memenuhi kebutuhan material maupun spiritualnya dengan menggunakan teknologi media, bahkan media sosial bisa dijadikan tempat ibadah baru bagi ummat beragama, mereka berdiskusi, bahkan bertafakkur dalam ruang maya yang artifisial. Pada saat itulah sumber informasi menjadi sangat penting maknanya dalam pemenuhan spiritual manusia. Lembaga perpustakaan sebagai salah satu pusat informasi, menjadi sangat urgen untuk dikembangkan dan  diperbaharui dalam menghadapi fenomena tersebut. Membangun gedung bertingkat untuk membangun sebuah perpustakaan memang penting, namun membangun sistem informasi yang di dapat dari perpustakaan jauh lebih penting. Data dan informasi dalam era digital lebih mengutamakan soft data dibandingkan dengan data material berupa buku cetak maupun jurnal-jurnal penelitian yang tercetak di lembaran kertas. Maka kiranya sudah mendesak untuk dikembangkan perpustakaan digital di setiap perguruan tinggi, karena perguruan tinggi sampai saat ini masih dianggap sebagai pusat pengetahuan dan informasi, termasuk juga informasi religius.</em></p>

The article deals with the problem of maintaining and preserving Mari ethnic culture in the conditions of an internal diaspora. The purpose of the article is to identify the conditions for maintaining and to determine the prospects for preserving Moscow Maris’ ethnic culture in Moscow’s multicultural urban space. Methods. In 2019–2021, the author of the article conducted a sociolinguistic survey in the Mari diaspora of the Moscow region; the selective sample includes 106 respondents (100 respondents belong to the first generation of the Mari diaspora, six to the second). One of the aspects of the survey was to study markers of ethnic identity in two generations of the diaspora. Results. The results, obtained in the interviews, reveal that Mari culture (knowledge and observance of Mari traditions and customs) is one of the key markers of ethnic identity in the first generation (coming only third after the small homeland and the Mari language markers). Respondents in the second generation demonstrate remnant knowledge of ethnic cultural practices due to a weak intergenerational transmission of the Mari language. The author concludes that in order to preserve ethnic traditions and customs in the diaspora, it is extremely important to maintain an ethnic language; at the same time, as the world practice of revitalizing minority languages shows, ethnic culture can be viewed as a source of initiation into an ethnic language, and later become a channel for its maintenance.
