  • A Cultural Approach to Branding in the Global Marketplace
    A Cultural Approach to Branding in the Global Marketplace ABSTRACT International marketing’s commitment to a technical and universaliz- ing approach to solving managerial problems has meant that researchers have adopted an ethnocentric approach to branding. This Keywords: branding, global is becoming problematic as the global marketplace develops. The marketing, mythology, cultural, authors argue that to meet the theoretical and methodological chal- globalization lenges of global branding, international marketing scholars will need to revise some key premises and foundations. Branding research in the future will need to be contextually and historically grounded, polycentric in orientation, and acutely attuned to the symbolic signifi- cance of brands of all types. The authors offer some conceptual foun- dations for a culturally relative, contextually sensitive approach to international branding in which the construct of brand mythology is central. Brands have become ubiquitous in global popular culture. The Julien Cayla and Coca-Cola logo and Nike swoosh are brand symbols that trigger Eric J. Arnould myriad responses; their cognitive salience and ability to arouse passion are undeniable. When people demonstrate against the inequities of globalization, they use brands such as Nike and McDonald’s as symbols of corporate excess (see Holt 2002; Klein 1999). Because brands have become such an integral part of the cultural and economic landscape, there is a growing need for inter- national marketing scholars not only to adapt to changing global market conditions but also to contribute to public discourse on branding practices. However, the tools and theories of inter- national marketing remain insufficient for analyzing the complexi- ties of a globalizing world and the role of brands in it.

  • The Human Flesh Search Engine: Democracy, Censorship, and Political Participation in Twenty-First Century China”
    “The Human Flesh Search Engine: Democracy, Censorship, and Political Participation in Twenty-First Century China” Vincent Capone, University of Massachusetts Boston Based on an undergraduate thesis from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Wang Jue was most likely never aware of the notoriety she would gain after posting an anonymous video on the internet of herself crushing a kitten with her high-heeled shoe. Similarly, she most likely was never aware that her identity would be discovered from the short video or that she would soon become known solely as the “Kitten Killer of Hangzhou.” Wang Jue was a young woman who took out her anger over a failed relationship by crushing a small kitten and videotaping it. She posted the video on her personal blog on the internet for anyone to see. The video became instantly popular as news about this gruesome act quickly spread across the Chinese internet. Viewers were outraged by the footage and spoke out on various web forums, demanding that the unknown woman be brought to justice for her inhumane act. From the video alone Chinese netizens, defined as “any Chinese citizen aged six and above who has used the internet in the past half a year”, were able to determine the location where the video was shot. 1 The location was not a well-known area, but because of the sheer number of viewers that watched the video, enough netizens watched the video who were familiar with that location to determine it was filmed in Hangzhou, China. Netizens were similarly able to determine the woman’s identity by tracing an online purchase of stiletto shoes through eBay.com, the same pair worn by Wang in the video, to a personal website set up under the name “Gainmas”.

Geographical Review, 104(2), 192–208. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1931-0846.2014.12017.x This paper focuses on the relationship between the 2008 Beijing Olympic Torch Relay mega-event and contemporary imaginings of China’s geopolitical position and the Chinese national geo-body. The performance of China’s territorial presence at the international and domestic scales drew both support and resistance. Chinese media coverage of the spectacle reiterated tropes of geopolitical struggle and national unity. While these tropes resonated with some Chinese audiences who have been primed to recognize the Chinese geo-body through the banal nationalism, Chinese citizens’ satirical online comments reveal that some rejected the stilted ideological representations of the Relay.

March 15, 2009 in Uncategorized by The China Beat | 15 comments By Daniel A. Bell Shortly after the Olympic torch’s troubled passage through Paris last April, Chinese nationalists organized a campaign to boycott the French supermarket Carrefour. The chain store is perhaps the most visible symbol of French life in China, with 135 outlets in the country’s major cities. Thousands of nationalists were mobilized outside Carrefour outlets and many customers were afraid to shop there. But the boycott was completely irrational. Carrefour China had nothing to do with pro-Tibetan protests in France and even the disabled athlete Jin Jing who was targeted by protesters in France spoke out against the boycott. Over 90 percent of Carrefour China’s employees are Chinese and they were the first to be hit by the boycott.

  • A Glimpse of Practices and Research on Shaolin Martial Arts and Related Practices to Advance Sport Psychology
    Article Looking East for Mindfulness: A Glimpse of Practices and Research on Shaolin Martial Arts and Related Practices to Advance Sport Psychology Ying Hwa Kee National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, 1 Nanyang Walk, Singapore 639798, Singapore; [email protected] Received: 2 March 2019; Accepted: 3 April 2019; Published: 8 April 2019 Abstract: Although mindfulness is currently receiving attention within sport psychology, there is a lack of discussion on the Eastern origins of mindfulness in the extant sport psychology literature. Several mind-body practices linked to Chinese Chan and Shaolin martial arts are presented in this paper to illustrate their possible relevance to sport psychology. One takeaway message discussed in relation to the flow experience is that mindful performance of Shaolin martial arts is said to be integral to the psychological transformations associated with realisation of Chan (or “suchness,” satori, Enlightenment), supposedly a goal more likely to be pursued by mindfulness practitioners in the Eastern culture than in the West. Research on Dejian mind-body intervention, dantian breathing and Shaolin internal martial arts such as Baduanjin and Yijinjing are briefly reviewed to examine the potential psychological benefits of such mind-body practices. Advancement in sport psychology, particularly in relation to mindfulness-related topics, could benefit from a closer examination of Chan and Shaolin martial arts practices. Keywords: flow; transcendental experiences; kung fu; yoga; China 1. Introduction More than a decade has passed since the first empirical research on mindfulness in the sport context was published in an international peer-reviewed sport psychology journal (see Kee & Wang 2008) [1].
