Meaning Interpretation

The explanation of symbolic meaning would differ from one cultural group to another. In the view of Tondano Javanese people, the symbolic meaning has a very close meaning in the construction of the houses they are living in, start from the stage of preparation/pre-construction to post-construction. This is something that motivates the conduction of special study about the relation of the symbolic meaning of Minahasanese traditional house within the cultural context of Tondano Javanese society. The method of this research was a case study where the data collection was carried out in triangulation and the analysis was carried out descriptively. The meaning interpretation referred to Sassure and Barthes. Result of the study shows that the construction process which starts from the preparation process up to post-construction contains symbolic meaning marked by physical and non-physical forms. Its denotative meaning is more of the consideration of power/strength shown in joints and the placement of pillars and beams. Its connotative meaning is more on the expectation for prosperity, happiness, and safety both in the world and the after-life which is symbolized by the norms of building, while the myth refers to a belief where the truth is embraced based on the experience which is symbolized by the position of the main pillar, the position of the king pillar (the pillars' stance) and some other ritual following the construction process.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

The Media

The article presents the study of the media image of China in the Russian Internet texts. The purpose of the study is to identify the language means of shaping the media image of China in blogs about Chinese opera. The material involves some of the topical blogs published on the Internet version of «Live Journal» and the «Magazeta». In those materials, the media image of China is partially formed by various aspects of Chinese opera as a cultural phenomenon: it is the cultural context in which Chinese opera exists; features of diverse opera genres; images of performers; audience responses; assessments and feelings of bloggers. The possibilities of expression of different kinds of language means are revealed, so is the authors’ perception of this type of art. It is concluded that the media image created in blogs about Chinese opera by various language means represents China as a country with a long history and unique culture. Chinese opera not only occupies an important place in the world art, but also vividly and meaningfully reflects the mystery of China.

Iconic Status

This chapter situates the conditions of production, funding, and labor in Atlantic Canada along with the representations of culture and work (or the lack of work) on screen through an analysis of selected films notable either for their iconic status within the regional film scene or as vehicles through which the condition of labor and culture can be explored and illuminated. Film and television production in Atlantic Canada is a case study of what Toby Miller et al. have described as Global Hollywood (2008). Under this model, production is understood not by aesthetic design or cultural context but rather by the existence of subsidies and incentives developed in competition with other regions in Canada and throughout the world for the business of Hollywood. The films that are produced generally reflect the dominant ideological tendencies of Hollywood, though films may also express the potential for resistance—even if only partially articulated.

This article is based on field study among different caste and ethnic groups residing in Pokhara sub-metropolitan city of Nepal. It tries to identify the causes of divorce in those groups. Probably, it is the first sociological study on divorce based on empirical fact in Nepal, so it may contribute a little bit to the direction of the sociological study. The tradition of sociological and anthropological research on social institutions and processes is not dominant in Nepal. Sociologists have found that there are different natures of changes on social institutions, economy, culture and political structure. This is a universal phenomenon around the world. However it could be fruitful to analyze causes and consequences of the social events or changes from the sociological perspective in the different social and cultural context. This study focuses on divorce basically the legal separation of the husband and wife. However customary divorce practices are in different communities of the Nepalese society.DOI: 10.3126/dsaj.v1i0.284Dhaulagiri Vol.1 (2005) pp.129-145

This article explores the linguistic worldview of a Ukrainian poet – postmodernist Yuriy Andrukhovytch – realized through the concept of “Christian sacred symbols” analyzed from the perspective of anthropological and cognitive aspects of lingual and cultural studies. It defines the essence and the ways of implementing the concept in the spatio-temporal continuum of poetry collection “India” as well as highlights the role of man in the poet’s imaginary world through the archetypes of the world culture and decodes symbolic meaning of cultural context of the author’s works. Contrary to a generally accepted view that the earth is round, spatial reality for the author turns out to be a planet which resembles a cake, a fl at surface, a desert, a kingdom and a bridge. The sky is seven crystal hemispheres, out lining the heavenly space with stars and planets fixed at each level. The space is represented by such geographical notions as East Asia, India, China, the river Nile. The author of the article supposes that India becomes for the writer the embodiment of our civilization at all times of mankind, another way to present man in the space of eternity, and a kind of life philosophy. The synthesis of pagan, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and Christian ideas about man’s place in the world and his moral peace, happiness and overall love is represented by such symbols as angels, harpes, gehennr hell hrifony, dragons, percale books, lilies, honey, pythons, fl ags, birds, reptiles, saints, timpani, newts, tulips, furies, devils, Yuri’s sword, Yasmin and others.

New Millennium

Abstract: At the brink of a new millennium, Harlequin Enterprises Ltd. has grown into an international publishing phenomenon, publishing in more than twenty languages on six continents and in more than a hundred markets around the world -- a long way from what began as a modest Canadian reprint operation in 1949. Concerned with the way in which the ``global'' becomes the ``local,'' this article uses Harlequin's Stockholm office as a case study for a closer look at just how Harlequin romances are transposed from one cultural context into another. By arguing that translation and editing are local strategies with considerable power in changing the text as well as its production and consumption, this paper focuses on the way in which the Harlequin book, through the combined process of editing and translation -- what I have termed transediting, is given a ``Swedish'' identity. Résumé: A la veille d'un nouveau millénaire, les Entreprises Harlequin Limitées sont devenues un phénomène international dans l'édition, publiant en plus de vingt langues sur six continents et dans plus d'une centaine de marchés autour du monde -- une longue distance de ce qui avait été au départ une modeste opération canadienne pour les réimpressions en 1949. Concerné par le moyen dont le "global" devient le "local", cet article utilise les bureaux d'Harlequin à Stockholm comme étude de cas pour porter un regard plus attentif sur la manière dont on transpose les romans Harlequin d'un contexte culturel à un autre. En soutenant que la traduction et la correction sont des stratégies locales avec un pouvoir considérable pour changer le texte autant que sa production et sa consommation, cet article se penche sur la façon dont le livre Harlequin reçoit une identité `suédoiseé, au moyen de la traduction et de la correction -- ce que j'ai appelé "transediting" (la "traducorrection").

On this basis, there is also a discussion about constructing the system of urban characteristics of Nanjing, underlying causes of and approaches to deal with the the characteristics crisis of current Nanjing City.
