Ontological Ground

With a special emphasis on regional studies, this chapter takes up the challenge to theorize about the complexities of cultural interaction without imposing ethnocentric categories such as those that historically defined the discipline of art history on Euro-American terms. One of the primary obstacles to rethinking the discipline of art history has been the segmentation of our archives by period style and national culture. How can we access this past (and present) without also passing on values that may no longer be tenable but are inherent in our classifying terms and structures? I review issues of shared concern across a wide expanse of methods and subjects under four categories: (1) the problem of universals and universalism; (2) working within a national culture model in a transcultural setting; (3) the epistemic and ontological ground of research; and (4) the ethics of scholarship. I advocate for a material-based, non-transcendental ontology capacious enough to appeal to many different interpretative aims at the center of transcultural approaches, such as what happens when values, beliefs, and information are not held in common. In such cases, interpretation focuses on the heterogeneity of the artwork itself.

Online Distance

Cultural diversity is the anticipated norm in online learning environments that include international students, or which are part of international educational programs. Expressions of national culture inevitably shape the ways in which international students respond to the learning experience and perform within it. This chapter considers the roles and responsibilities of the culturally responsive online instructor in creating and facilitating online distance learning spaces that are inclusive, diverse, and supportive. It reviews a conceptual framework, derived from Hofstede's culture model, which may be useful in recognizing and anticipating national culture difference. The chapter also provides suggestions and recommendations to assist the instructor/facilitator in leading culturally different students to a place where they can learn successfully.

The Impact

The analysis of international negotiations at bachelor and master level appears dominated by a conception of national culture (Søderberg & Holden, 2002; Shenkar et al 2008), and applies cultural distance models widely and inappropriately. Few business encounters are actually national in nature, being rather encounters between individuals or small groups with developed cultural practices and behaviours. There is a parallel tendency for users to abuse the models by failing to recognise the impact of relative power and agency; by ignoring culture as construct; by eliding small and large cultures (Holliday 1999, 2011); and by falling into the so-called ecological fallacy (Robinson 1950; Hofstede, Bond & Luk, 1993). Within the dominant neo-liberal ideological context (Read, 2009) presented in much of the business and management literature, the “othering” (Devlin 2011b, 2015) of those perceived as being outside this narrowly defined norm is a constant danger. In effect, a narrow minority is often represented as the mainstream and the vast majority as varyingly exoticized others. The aim of the paper is to investigate the theoretical and practical problems inherent in the national culture distance dominated approach before reflecting on how an approach which focuses on specific communication instances can open a pathway to understanding culture formation and cultural challenges in a more nuanced way.

Information Systems Planning

Hofstede’s national culture model has been applied in prior research to better understand the management of multinational firms. That research suggests that national culture may influence the information systems planning autonomy of the subsidiaries of multinational firms, but such an impact has not yet been tested empirically. A postal survey of 131 chief information officers and 103 senior non-IS managers of U.S. subsidiaries of such firms collected data to test hypotheses based on the model. Structural equation modeling using PLS-Graph 3.0 revealed that Individualism-Collectivism, Masculinity-Femininity, and Uncertainty Avoidance predicted autonomy for particular IS planning phases (as rated by the CIOs). On the basis of the supported hypotheses, the study provides evidence of the relevance of the national culture model to IS planning effectiveness and IS contribution. The study also suggests to subsidiary managers that an understanding of the national culture of their parent firm can help them gain an insight into the parent’s management perspective.

The article investigates interrelation between philosophy of ethnoculture, ethnoculturology and ethnoculturography as components of modern culturological discourse. Aim of the article is to extend the idea about the structure of modern culturological knowledge and, in particular, to analyze how philosophy of ethnoculture, ethnoculturology and ethnoculturography correlate with each other. In connection with this there is an important task − to ground the notion of ethno-culturalography as a discourse of science and art, in particular the discourse in which ideas, archetypes, signatures and values of ethnoculture are represented in a figuratively-artistic form. The methodological value of philosophy of ethnoculture is revealed for the construction of conceptual paradigms and conceptual tools of ethnoculturology and culturological regional studies. The concept of ethnoculturography as representation of ethnoculture in artistic images of literature and art is entered in modern sciences about the culture for the first time. In particular, ethnographic approach to artistic creativity is analyzed on the examples of painting of well known Ukrainian artists Olha Petrova and Anatolii Furlet. The author understands ethnoculturology as synthesis of scientific artistic reflection that combines knowledge of ethnocultures with their pictorial reproduction by means of artistic and aesthetical facilities. For instance, ethnoculturography in painting requires a special type of discourse, where metaphysics, aesthetics, semiotics and chronotopes of the region are crossed with artistic vision, individual practice of the artist. In works of Anatolii Furlet it is manifested through artistic restoration of the mystic world of ancestors connected with "A Stone Grave" near Melitopol − one of the oldest monuments of world and national culture. For ethnoculturology of Olha Petrova the "spirit of nation" in its multicultural measurements was presented at the exhibition "Other Shores". Five "shores" of spiritual oecumene of the artist (France, Spain, Ukraine, Arabic East, Japan) outline ethnic horizons of her real and virtual travels in space and time of Eurasian cultures. Consequently, ethnoculturology practically becomes an original guide-book, a road sign (vade mecum) in the world of ethnocultures.

Abstract This essay considers the various meanings of the word “crystallization” in Frantz Fanon's main theses on national culture and his political philosophy more generally. It also further considers the implications of crystallization alongside Fanon's notion of the “nation to come” for an understanding of his approach to art, history, philosophy, and religion. This philosophy of crystallization, of which there has been little or no mention in Fanonian studies, is also contrasted with and compared to works by the Guinean poet Keita Fodéba and the Iranian critic Ali Shariʿati.

Education plays a pivotal role in a country’s progress and rejuvenation. As the most basic and vital stage in education, parenting exerts an invaluable role in supporting the progress of children. Under the influence of production mode, geographical environment, national policy and other factors, education in different countries takes on a unique and distinguishable character in correspondence with its cultural and geographical contexts. China and America are two prominent countries on the world map which represent, in many ways, divergent national culture models. Taking Strodtbeck and Kluckhohn’s theory of cultural values combined with Hofstede’s national culture model as the theoretical framework, and the novel The Joy Luck Club as data, the study investigates differences in Chinese and American parenting in terms of cultural values from the perspectives of humankind and nature, time orientation, activity orientation and social relationships. Comparing the two styles of parenting, the study argues that Chinese parenting is distinguishable from American parenting in many aspects, including parenting idea, parenting content and parenting method. Adopting a monitoring role, the Chinese parents foreground criticism in parenting, whereas American parents tend to prefer encouragement as the cornerstone of their parenting style, demonstrating a democratic approach and magnanimity towards their children.

Background. reveals art analysis of archetypes and artistic images reflecting the Kazakh national culture in the paintings of modern artists of Kazakhstan The ways of art history analysis have been revealed for the most characteristic archetypes and artistic images of the Kazakh national culture, which are revealed by modern Kazakhstani artists in their paintings. A typological method is suggested in studying the development of contemporary contemporary art in Kazakhstan. The revival of the traditional worldview in the modern art of Kazakhstan is justified. Scientific novelty is connected with the historical and art history analysis of symbolizing, ethnosign functions of culture on the basis of reconstruction of the sign-symbolic system of the pictorial type, through which an interpretation of various types of contemporary art of Kazakhstan is given. Contemporary art of Kazakhstan is characterized by the integration of various types, genres and styles, while the development of the world by new means is carried out through signs and symbols established in the context of traditional culture. The performed art history analysis indicates that the sign-symbolic system of the Tengrian world picture is actively and quite fully implemented in various types and genres of modern art in Kazakhstan. In the works of contemporary artists, along with geometrics, signs and symbols of the animated world (plant and zoomorphic) are used, relevant in the aspect of the ecology of culture, as an answer to the global challenges of our time. The results are significant for theoretical and practical understanding of the problem under consideration, in particular, for Евразийский Союз Ученых (ЕСУ) # 2(71), 2020 5 deepening the description and analysis of works of art by Kazakh artists, as well as for further systematic analysis of works with elements of archetypal motifs and mythological images. Article materials can be used in training courses of art faculties and specialties
