  • Imagined Identity and Cross-Cultural Communication in Yuri!!! on ICE Tien-Yi Chao National Taiwan University
    ISSN: 2519-1268 Issue 9 (Summer 2019), pp. 59-87 DOI: 10.6667/interface.9.2019.86 Russia/Russians on Ice: Imagined Identity and Cross-cultural Communication in Yuri!!! on ICE tien-yi chao National Taiwan University Abstract Yuri!!! on ICE (2016; 2017) is a Japanese TV anime featuring multinational figure skaters com- peting in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series. The three protagonists, including two Russian skaters Victor Nikiforov, and Yuri Purisetsuki (Юрий Плисецкий), and one Japanese skater Yuri Katsuki (勝生勇利), engage in extensive cross-cultural discourses. This paper aims to explore the ways in which Russian cultures, life style, and people are ‘glocalised’ in the anime, not only for the Japanese audience but also for fans around the world. It is followed by a brief study of Russian fans’ response to YOI’s display of Russian memes and Taiwanese YOI fan books relating to Russia and Russians in YOI. My reading of the above materials suggests that the imagined Russian identity in both the official anime production and the fan works can be regarded as an intriguing case of cross-cultural communication and cultural hybridisation.

  • China at the Gates a New Power Audit of Eu-China Relations
    CHINA AT THE GATES A NEW POWER AUDIT OF EU-CHINA RELATIONS François Godement & Abigaël Vasselier ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values- based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: • A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over two hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Carl Bildt, Emma Bonino and Mabel van Oranje. • A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia and Warsaw. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • Developing contagious ideas that get people talking. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to carry out innovative research and policy development projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR produces original research; publishes policy reports; hosts private meetings, public debates, and “friends of ECFR” gatherings in EU capitals; and reaches out to strategic media outlets. ECFR is a registered charity funded by the Open Society Foundations and other generous foundations, individuals and corporate entities.

  • Eurosports Höjdpunkter November 2014
    EUROSPORTS HÖJDPUNKTER NOVEMBER 2014 VINTERSPORT Nu sparkar vi igång på snö och isar Vintersportsäsongen tjuvstartade visserligen redan i september med Champions Hockey League (i november är vi framme vid åttondelsfinaler) och ökade på i oktober med konståkningens Grand Prix och alpina världscupen - men nu är det allvar. Eurosport rullar ut den vita mattan och bjuder på det bästa från längdspår, pister och isar. Sammanlagt blir det över 800 timmar direktsänd vinteridrott säsongen 2014/2015 (över 2 000 med eftersändningar, magasin och repriser). Norden står som vanligt starkt i inledningen av säsongen, med världscuppremiärer i både Finland och Sverige. Längre fram i vinter väntar en rad EM, VM, världscuper och andra tävlingsserier på att ta plats i Eurosports kanaler. Vintersporten ses naturligtvis i allra bästa bildkvalitet på Eurosport HD och Eurosport 2 HD. Världscupen i skidskytte kör igång sin säsong i Östersund på månadens sista dag och Eurosport är förstås på plats och direktsänder. Förra året vanns damernas totala världscup av Kaisa Mäkäräinen före norskan Tora Berger och OS-mästarinnan Darya Domracheva från Vitryssland. Fransmannen Martin Fourcade vann för tredje året i rad världscupen på herrsidan. Tvåa (för fjärde året i rad) blev norrmannen Emil Hegle Svendsen och trea Dominik Landertinger från Österrike. Alpina världscupen inledde säsongen i österrikiska Sölden redan i oktober och fortsätter nu med tävlingar i först finska Levi och sedan Aspen och Lake Louise på andra sidan Atlanten. Förra året blev Marcel Hirscher från Österrike den förste herråkaren att ta hem totaltiteln tre år i rad sedan Phil Mahre från USA vann 1981-1983. På damsidan tog Anna Fenninger från Österrike hem totalcupen.
