Mela: festival scenes in South Asian cinema     

John Hutnyk 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2018,19(1):129-147

This article examines a recurrent film motif across a number of South Asian films, mostly called Mela. It also offers some observations on melas, actual and allegorical, as represented in films but often seeming to exceed their containment in context so as to say more about the conviviality of life, where this is at issue, where life is at a juncture in need of resolution within the cycle of becoming. The issues of violence, loss, national identity, politics of interpretation and repetition in ideology are canvassed. While the essay is focused upon Mela films themselves, and South Asian film more broadly, it has of course been important to note work by scholars such as M. Madhava Prasad, Ashish Rajadhyaksha, Anjali Gera Roy, Tejaswini Niranjana, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and the help of my students, some of whom are named below.  相似文献   

Reconceptualising educational assessment in South Africa — testing times for teachers     

John Pryor  Cassius Lubisi 《International Journal of Educational Development》2002,22(6)

This paper explores some of the problems arising when Continuous Assessment (CA) is grafted onto established pedagogic practices. It focuses on three issues: teachers' restricted understandings of assessment, teachers' emphasis on criteria that demonstrate concern with social control, and some of the problems connected with peer assessment. Two vignettes derived from fieldwork associated with a project to improve the quality of primary education are used to raise the issues. We argue that the development of desired practices is hampered above all by tacit values in tension with those underpinning the new curriculum. These values, together with the complexity of curriculum design, create serious problems of manageability and interpretation, which can only be addressed through detailed interactive in-service training, aimed at reconceptualising teachers' notions of assessment.  相似文献

Research trends and collaborations by applied science researchers in South African universities of technology: 2007–2017     

Elisha R.T. Chiware  Deborah A. Becker 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2018,44(4):468-476

This paper analyses the publication patterns of researchers in the field of applied sciences at Universities of Technology in South Africa. Aspects investigated include publications in SCOPUS-listed journals; number of citations and countries of publication. Collaborative research patterns at national and international levels were also investigated. A bibliometric analysis approach was followed using SCOPUS as the main source of data and analysing the articles published in selected applied science disciplines. Results show that researchers in the field of applied sciences in universities of technology have increased their number of publications over the past 10?years and are also working in conjunction with other researchers both nationally and internationally. The analysis is an important addition to the field in South Africa which helps in measuring how institutions are positively responding to government incentives in research. The results are also important to information professionals who are increasingly playing an important role in research impact assessments.  相似文献   

The use of information and communication technologies in public libraries in South Africa as tools for bridging the digital divide: the case of the Kempton Park public library     

Mamathole Margaret Lediga 《Public Library Quarterly》2018,37(3):296-305

ABSTRACT

The information and knowledge society has resulted in the exponential growth of information and communication technologies (ICTs), thus creating a gap between those who use ICTs and those who do not; hence the emergence of the term “digital divide” in the 1990s. One of the milestones of South Africa’s National Development Plan, a policy that charts the country’s development up until 2030, is to ensure that high-speed broadband internet is universally available at competitive prices. Notwithstanding the importance of ICTs in public libraries, the provision of such is still taking place on a limited scale in South Africa. This article investigates the use of ICTs in public libraries in South Africa as a tool in bridging the digital divide. It also examines the inequalities in access and use and suggests ways in which ICTs may be used to reduce the digital divide. A qualitative research methodology was adopted. In order for public libraries to function as an important tool in bridging the digital divide, there is a need to standardize the provision of public library services with regard to the digital divide.  相似文献   

熊十力诠释《诗经》学的向度探析     

聂民玉  段红智 《保定学院学报》2017,30(1)

《诗经》是“六经”之一，熊十力对《诗经》进行新的诠释，走的是一条“经学泛哲学化”的理路，把“四科”之中的“义理之科”作为“六经”之宗，没有“义理之科”的贞定，“经济之科”“考据之科”“文学之科”乃茫荡无根据。他明确指出《诗经》一定有《诗传》，并强调“诗可以兴，可以观，可以群，可以怨”是《诗传》的总纲领。同时认为，《诗经》里面的诗歌，大多出自“农家”学派之手。《诗经》中有大量表现“怨”的诗，当作孟子的论断“《诗》亡然后《春秋》作”的原因。熊十力对《诗经》中《二南》诗高度重视，之所以读《关雎》得出“思无邪”的评价，缘见得人生本来清净、真实，不须作更多的猜想。同时他指出了中国宗教之所以不兴的原因，即“即事多所欣”。在日常生活里，自有一种欣悦、和适、勤勉、温柔、敦厚、庄敬、日强等等的意趣，用不着起什么恐怖，也不须幻想什么天国，并要求我们通过解读《二南》，识得人生的意义与价值，大步走上人生的坦途，向前努力，而不至于面墙了，表达了熊十力对人生理想的美好追求。  相似文献   

韩国经济起飞的日本因素     

闰华芳 《大连大学学报》2015,(1):80-84

20世纪60年代,韩国制定了出口导向的经济发展计划,但韩国经济凋敝,缺乏工业化所需的庞大的资金和先进的技术。而通过日韩关系正常化,取得日本的赔偿,是导入外资的重要途径。1965年《日韩协定》签定以来,日本对韩国的援助以及技术交流在一定程度上支持着韩国的越南特需,并在第2个5年计划期间作为主要财源,为韩国的经济发展带来活力,另一方面,日本对韩国的援助和投资,也开拓了日企的市场,提高日本对韩国的出口,并使韩国对日贸易长期处于赤字状态。  相似文献   

What is a good father? The meaning of a good father through sports parenting in South Korea     

Chanwoo Park 《Sport in Society》2019,22(8):1346-1361

Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to uncover the meanings that constitute a good father within the context of a sports/leisure setting and to analyse how these meanings are enacted in practice. Results showed that the ‘good father’ of today, as perceived by fathers, is a multifaceted construct that is construed through their interactions with other family members. First, fathers constructed the meanings of a good father through the memories of their own fathers during their childhood. Second, fathers constructed the meanings through their relationship with their wives. They regarded sport parenting as an important practice for them to be a good husband to their wives. Finally, fathers constructed the meanings of a good father through their relationships with their children and the time spent with their children was a particularly important requirement for them to fulfil their role as a good father.  相似文献   

Delinking rhetorics of neoliberalism: An analysis of South American leftist presidents’ speeches     

Adriana Angel  Luis Miguel López-Londoño 《Journal of International and Intercultural Communication》2019,12(1):43-62

We analyze the so-called Socialism of the twenty-first century in which nine South American governments turned to the left over the last 15 years. This South American socialist turn is seen as a delinking from the logics of dependency and pure neoliberalism. To explore the rhetorics that underlie this delinking process, we conducted both a macroanalysis and an intradiscursive rhetorical analysis of the inauguration and most significant speeches of all of the leftist South American presidents elected after 1999. We claim that a common critique of neoliberalism underlies the South American presidents’ speeches, which manifests through specific rhetorics concerning participatory democracy, social inclusion, and environmental protection. When they became transnational, these delinking rhetorics crafted a decolonial critique that calls for more indigenous models of development.  相似文献   

A historical analysis of academic development using the theoretical lens of Pierre Bourdieu     

Bruce Charles Kloot 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2015,36(6):958-975

This paper provides a history of academic development by examining how a South African institution coped with the potent social forces confronting it before the collapse of apartheid. Theoretically, it draws on the framework of Pierre Bourdieu and engages with a paper written a decade ago by Naidoo, who also used Bourdieu to understand institutional change in South Africa in the late 1980s. Through contrasting the habitus of two professors, it is argued that academic development helps to preserve the autonomy of the university field by refracting forces impinging on it from the economic and political realms.  相似文献
