Hierarchical Perception

This chapter introduces the major methods and arguments of the book. In doing so, it emphasizes that regional lockout is at once a system of technological regulation, media distribution, and geocultural discrimination. Situating regional lockout within the history of scholarly analysis of these areas, the introduction illustrates how distribution practices, digital regulation systems, and geocultural difference and inequality all influence one another. In doing so, the introduction also develops a theory of geocultural capital, which refers to a kind of broadly scaled cultural capital applied to places rather than people—that is, a hierarchical perception of a nation or region’s value based on its access to cultural resources like media.

Art education in colleges and universities is an important part of China’s higher education. It takes art as the content and educates people. Through educational activities, it fosters college students to form correct aesthetic concepts, improve their personal personality, and stimulate their imagination and creativity. The integration of art education into Hakka cultural inheritance has the problem of compatibility between the law of cultural inheritance and the law of education. Efforts should be made to activate static local cultural resources into dynamic educational and cultural capital. Hakka culture curriculum system should be integrated with traditional cultural characteristics and art education concepts. The contents should be closely related to art education, and the Hakka spirit of simplicity and diligence should be transmitted through the connotation of Hakka culture. The “cultural resources into curriculum resources”, “cultural elements into cultural creativity” double path teaching implementation, to achieve the value of Hakka cultural resources inheritance.

This project investigated the history of the backcountry trail system in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). In cooperation with GTNP Cultural Resources and the Western Center for Historic Preservation in GTNP, we located records describing the early development of the trail system. Only a few historical records describe or map the exact location of early trails, which prove useful when relocating trails today. The paper trail becomes quite rich, however, in revealing the story behind the practical development of Grand Teton National Park as it joined the National Park Service system.

‘A public figure‘ discusses Aristotle’s second period in Athens, the cultural capital of the Greek world. He taught regularly in the Lyceum, believing that knowledge and teaching were inseparable. His own researches were frequently carried out in a research team and his results communicated to his friends and pupils. By the 330s, he clearly had some reputation as a scholar since he was invited to draw up the victory lists at Delphi, a task requiring historical research. Other historical projects include the Constitutions of States, which included a brief constitutional history of Athens, and a descriptive survey of Athenian political institutions. In 322 BC Aristotle left Athens for political reasons.

AbstractCollections are made and maintained for pleasure, for status, for nation or empire building, for cultural capital, as a substrate for knowledge production and for everything in between. In asking how collections end, we shift the focus from acquisition and growth to erosion, loss and decay, and expose the intellectual, material and curatorial labour required to maintain collections. In this introductory essay, we draw together insights from the history of science and from science and technology studies to investigate the dispersal, destruction, absorption, repurposing and repatriation of the diverse scientific collections discussed in the papers that make up this issue of BJHS Themes, and many other collections besides. We develop a distinction first suggested by the curator and bibliographer John Willis Clark between ‘working’ collections of objects valued for the information they hold or produce, and ‘unique’ collections of objects valued for their historical singularity. We show that in many cases, the ‘end’ of an object or collection involves a shift in the dominant account of its cultural value from ‘working’ to ‘unique’ or vice versa. Moving between the laboratory, the museum and difficult-to-classify spaces in between, we argue that ‘ending’ is not anathema to ‘collecting’ but is always present as a threat, or as an everyday reality, or even as a necessary part of a collection's continued existence. A focus on ending draws attention not only to the complex internal dynamics and social contexts of collections, but also to their roles in producing scientific knowledge.

This chapter examines traditional music as a means to construct a cohesive pre-Soviet past in Uzbekistan. Traditional music encompasses three maqom traditions with roots in cities that currently exist within the borders of Uzbekistan: Xorazm maqom, Shashmaqom, and Tashkent-Ferghana maqom. The chapter first considers the history of the construction of the canon of traditional music in Uzbek institutions before discussing traditional music and maqom's links to nationalism in the city of Tashkent. It then looks at women's roles performing the great works in the maqom tradition, along with two masters of this tradition, Yunus Rajabi and Munojat Yulchieva. It also explores the role of maqom in the shift in cultural capital in Uzbekistan after independence. The chapter concludes with an assessment of dutar ensembles as an area of contested gender identity that is very much context dependent.

Cultural resources and assets inherited from one’s family of origin can be an important source of social inequality. In Finland, research on the intergenerational transmission of cultural capital is very limited. To fill this gap, we ask whether there is an association between the cultural capital of parents and that of their children in Finland and, if so, how significant it is. We useda two-fold operationalization of cultural capital for respondents and their parents comprising educational attainment (institutionalized cultural capital) and interestedness or participation in highbrow culture (embodied cultural capital). Our multinomial logistic regression analysis of nationally representative survey data from 2007 (N=1,279) showed close links between respondents’ cultural capital and that of their parents. Respondents’ educational attainment was strongly influenced by their parents’ education level but not their cultural interestedness; in contrast, respondents’ cultural participation was influenced by both their parents’ education and cultural interestedness.

Conceptual Study

Maluku provincial government has the local characteristic as represented in the “pemerintahan negeri” as a unified system of customary communities in Maluku province government areas. It gives an understanding that the land administration system has implications for aspects of customary law relevant to understanding the history of the culture of a country. Therefore, in the context of the preservation of cultural resources, land administration is the collective memory of the people of Maluku that must be preserved. In regard to the preservation of cultural resources, research conducted in the State Islamic Sirisori is expected to summarize the totality of the cultural history of the country Sirisori Islam. Further more, the results of this study is a conceptual study on the establishment of the museum Sirisori Islamic country. Based on the conceptual study, an alternative form of museum management can adapt the form of eco-museum as an attempt to preserve the cultural resources that existin Sirisori Islamic State. The themes that can be displayed in a museum presentation; State History Sirisori Islam, Islamic tradition Sirisori State Society, and the State Archaeological Collection Sirisori Islam.Provinsi Maluku memiliki karakteristik pemerintahan yaitu sistem Pemerintahan Negeri sebagai kesatuan masyarakat hukum adat dalam wilayah pemerintahan Provinsi Maluku. Hal ini memberi pemahaman bahwa sistem pemerintahan negeri memiliki implikasi pada aspek hukum adat yang terkait dengan pemahaman sejarah budaya suatu negeri.

Archeological, archival, and geomorphologic investigations were conducted for the proposed Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge Project in Hidalgo County, Texas, by Prewitt and Associates, Inc. from October 12-27, 1992. The purposes of these investigations were to locate and record any cultural resources within the project area, determine their eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and designation as State Archeological Landmarks, and to provide an overview of the Holocene geomorphic history of the project area. The geomorphic history of the project area suggests that the Rio Grande has experienced continuous channel aggradation from the end of the Pleistocene to ca. 1000 B.P. Climatic changes and diminishing sediment loads led to channel incision around 1000 B.P., forming a low late Holocene terrace and resulting in increased sinuosity and a decreased channel width-to-depth ratio. The investigations included a stratified sample survey of approximately 162 hectares (400 acres) and the excavation of 16 backhoe trenches and 14 shovel tests. A total of 10 sites, consisting of 10 historic and 2 prehistoric components, were documented. Six standing architectural properties, each consisting of a structure or groups of structures, also were documented. Four of the sites (41HG153, 41HG155, 41HG156, and 41HG158) are considered to be potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and for designation as State Archeological Landmarks. Two of the architectural properties - the Carmichael and Sorenson farmsteads - also may be eligible for listing on the National Register. The four potentially eligible sites consist of four historic and two prehistoric components. The historic components date from the Texas Republic period to the early twentieth century, representing the establishment and development of the EI Capote Ranch community. The two prehistoric components (41HG153 and 41HG158), of which only 41HG153 is potentially eligible, represent Late Prehistoric and unknown prehistoric components, respectively.

A cluster of persistent and contentious questions in the scientific study of religion concern when and why so-called “moralistic traditions” developed and how they have shaped human relationships. Is there an association between moralistic gods and the size and/or complexity of the society that might worship them? How cross-culturally ubiquitous are such traditions? Are people more willing to engage in cooperative behavior when they believe their god cares about morality? This chapter focuses on how these questions have arisen and how generations of researchers have struggled to address them. We first briefly examine the intellectual history of the problem, pointing to some of the troubling aspects of early observations of traditional societies and subsequent anthropological positions. We then address how early observations of small-scale peoples have populated cross-cultural resources that have informed and driven contemporary empirical projects. We finish by pointing to ways in which we might go about ensuring that the conversation continues with clarity and consistency.
