Glimpses of foreign lands and people : William Wisner Chapin's early photographs of Korea

This thesis focuses on a description and analysis of 130 hand-colored lantern slides of Korea made by William Wisner Chapin (American, 1851-1928) that are housed in the permanent collection of George Eastman House. In addition, it critically examines Chapin's National Geographic Magazine article, "Glimpses of Korea and China", published in November 1910. Both the lantern slides and the article were products of Chapin's 1909 world tour. This paper is not intended as an overview of the representation of early twentieth century Korea, nor is it a study of the lives of Korean people. It is a study of American society and popular culture at the turn of the last century through an examination of one person's photographs and their subsequent uses. It contextualizes the lantern slides by exploring the histories of lantern slides and the National Geographic Magazine, as well as illustrated travel lectures and travelogues, in an effort to consider the ways the lantern slides would have been understood at the timed of their creation and initial consumption. Ultimately, this thesis demonstrates that lantern slides are important and valuable historical objects, and that they are worthy of scholarly attention. In addition to the essay, the thesis includes a cataloguing of Chapin's lantern slides of Korea, providing a glimpse of early twentieth century Korea.

Digitization of Slide Film (35mm) – Transfer, Postproduction, Admissible Changes

One of the most widespread photography formats before digitization, both for professional and amateur use, was the slide film (35mm, Leica format). Due to its compact size, compared to medium and large formats, this equipment was preferred by all photo reporters, photographs of the wild nature (probably the best known was the ones of the National Geographic magazine) and of course for the general people, creating family photos. Slides were the common way of presenting, when images had to be shown at wide audience. They appeared also in art – in galleries and on stage. For that reason there is enormous material shot on this medium, transferred regularly in digital format. The digitization itself is constantly changing and sometimes the same image is digitized numerous times. In this material I will follow the basic ways of digitization and the changes that occur. Important problem of the digital transfer still remains the limit of admissible postproduction, which inevitably is modifying the initial image. Keywords: Photography, Slides, Digitization, 35mm

STRENGTHENING NATIONALITY INSIGHT WITH GEO-LITERACY

<p><em>The nationality insight should be owned by all Indonesian citizens. This insight is identical with civics knowledge. Besides, not only by studying civics knowledge anyone can improve their nationality insight, but also from other knowledge, such as by learning geography science. Understanding the environment is one of the scopes in geography science. Understanding the environment can possibbly to increase the nationality insight. This research aims to applying geo-literacy as a study method, so the student can improve their ability to understand the earth. The subject of this research is the 4^th semester student of Geography Education Department, Faculty of Social Science Universitas Negeri Manado. Analyzing data is based on the calculation of the percentage of results of filling out questionnaires by respondents. The questionnaires formed by the author from literature study from the syntax of geo-literacy method (from the National Geographic Magazine) combine with the indicator of nationalism in the document of nationality by Lembaga Administrasi Negara Republik Indonesia. By applying geo-literacy as a study method in geography education, the majority of students strongly agree that geo-literacy has the ability to strenghtening student’s knowledge to know the world (by applying geographical approach) and make the best decision for the environment. </em></p>

Elliptical Constructions of Advertisements Displayed on National Geographic MagazineElliptical constructions of advertisements displayed on National Geographic Magazine

Penguasaan tata bahasa menjadi kunci dalam komunikasi dua arah terlebih dalam penggunaan bahasa asing. Ellipsis adalah sub-topik dalam ilmu linguistik yang mempelajari cara berkomunikasi secara efektif. Ellipsis memungkinkan peleburan dan peluruhan kata dalam unit ujaran jika konteks kebahasaan telah tercapai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi: (1) jenis konstruksi ellipsis pada iklan Majalah National Geographic dan (2) formulasi konstruksi ellipsis pada iklan Majalah National Geographic. Pendekatan kualitatif konten analisis digunakan dalam penelitian ini, dengan mengumpulkan iklan yang terdapat pada tiga edisi Majalah National Geographic bulan Januari sampai Maret 2018. Semua data diteliti dengan serangkaian tahapan: validasi ahli, identifikasi, klasifikasi data, serta analisis operasi ellipsis menggunakan konsep presuposisi. Temuan penelitian ini adalah ketiga jenis incohesive ellipsis yang dideteksi adalah structural, situational, dan textual ellipsis berjumlah masing-masing 21, 18, dan 6 data. Hal penentu temuan ini bergantung pada jenis teks, gaya block-style iklan yang dituntut untuk tampil menarik, ringkas, dan efektif dalam menyampaikan pesan kepada pembaca. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah sebuah gagasan bahwa ellipsis mewarnai konstruksi kalimat supaya secara ringkas dapat menyampaikan pesan yang diinginkan.

Creating proxies of extinct species: the bioethics of de-extinction

In April 2013 the National Geographic magazine carried the cover title ‘Reviving extinct species, we can, but should we?’ suggesting that the technical challenges had been met, but some ethical concerns remained unresolved. Seven years later it is clear that this is not the case. Here we consider the technical scope, the uncertainties, and some of the bioethical issues raised by the future prospect of de-extinction. Biodiversity and welfare will not always align, and when a clash is unavoidable, a trade-off will be necessary, seeking the greatest overall value. De-extinction challenges our current conservation mind-set that seeks to preserve the species and population diversity that currently exists. But if we want to sustain and enhance a biodiverse natural world we might have to be forward looking and embrace the notion of bio-novelty by focussing more on ecosystem stability and resilience, rather than backward looking and seeking to try and recreate lost worlds.

Domesticating the Text: Collocation Patterns and their Significance in the Translated Text

This paper is an attempt to examine, through examples, the significance of collocation patterns for the translated text. To prove this, a corpus is collected from two translated articles in National Geographic magazine, Arabic version and their English counterparts. The given examples show that a great abundance of collocations patterns surfaced in the Arabic target texts (TT). The results obtained are used to argue that these patterns have cohesive, coherent, and aesthetic functions in the target text. To produce a translation that can read as much fluently and naturally as possible, professional translators work painstakingly to domesticate the source text as the magazine, in its Arabic version, is targeting different readership and culture. To accomplish their task, translators draw on their language competence especially 'collocation competence' as a domesticating strategy.
