  • Diasporic P'ungmul in the United States
    Diasporic P’ungmul in the United States: A Journey between Korea and the United States DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Soo-Jin Kim Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Professor Udo Will, Advisor Associate Professor Chan E. Park Assistant Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier Copyright by Soo-Jin Kim 2011 Abstract This study contributes to understanding diaspora and its music cultures by examining the Korean genre of p’ungmul as a particular site of continuous and dynamic cultural socio-political exchange between the homeland and the host society. As practiced in Los Angeles and New York City, this genre of percussion music and dance is shaped by Korean cultural politics, intellectual ideologies and institutions as p’ungmul practitioners in the United States seek performance aesthetics that fit into new performance contexts. This project first describes these contexts by tracing the history of Korean emigration to the United States and identifying the characteristics of immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York City. While the p’ungmul troupes developed by Korean political refugees, who arrived during the 1980s, show the influence of the minjung cultural movement in Korea, cultural politics of the Korean government also played an important role in stimulating Korean American performers to learn traditional Korean performing arts by sending troupes to the United States. The dissertation then analyzes the various methods by which p’ungmul is transmitted in the United States, including the different methods of teaching and learning p’ungmul—writing verbalizations of instrumental sounds on paper, score, CD/DVD, and audio/video files found on the internet—and the cognitive consequences of those methods.

  • An Introduction to Psycholinguistics Examines the Psychology of Language As It Relates to Learning, Mind and Brain As Well As to Aspects of Society and Culture
    0582505755_cover 5/10/05 8:00 am Page 1 PSYCHOLINGUISTICS AN INTRODUCTION TO General Editors: Geoffrey Leech and Mick Short An Introduction to Psycholinguistics examines the psychology of language as it relates to learning, mind and brain as well as to aspects of society and culture. How do we learn to speak and to understand speech? Is language unique to humans? Does language influence culture? Using non-technical language, and providing concrete examples, the authors explore: • How children learn to speak and read their native language • Deaf language education • Case studies of wild children and animals and what we can learn from these • Second language acquisition, second language teaching methods, and the problems associated with bilingualism • Language and the brain SECOND • The relationship between thought and language EDITION In this new edition the authors propose a radical new theory of grammar – natural grammar – which unlike other theories can account for both speech comprehension and speech production. Also taking into account the extensive growth in theory, research and practice, this new edition is an accessible and focused introduction to the key issues and the latest research in the field of psycholinguistics. Danny D. Steinberg is Professor Emeritus of Surugadai University and has previously taught at University of Hawaii and Rikkyo University. He is author of a number of books on semantic theory and psycholinguistics, including Semantics: An Interdisciplinary Reader in Philosophy, Linguistics and Psychology (with L. Jakobovits, 1971) and Psycholinguistics: Language, Mind and World (with H. Nagata and D. Aline, 2nd edition, 2000). Natalia V. Sciarini is an independent researcher, writer and translator, and works at the Research Services and Collections Department at Yale University.

A message from MAYOR MICHAEL P. BYRNE Parma Heights began to expand as a community in the 1950’s and recreation has been an important element of our community ever since.

My administration is committed to continue this tradition of enhancing the quality of life of our residents by providing opportunities to enjoy our beautiful parks (two new pocket parks are planned on the southeastern side of Pearl Road) and by continuing to offer a variety of recreational activities as well as social and cultural events for the entire family to enjoy. Our Recreation Department is a large part of why our new tagline “Community Grows Here” is so appropriate. By striving to enrich the lives of individuals and families while promoting an active lifestyle for residents of all ages, the department offers a variety of ways for you to enjoy the beauty of our community while providing a great opportunity to get to know your neighbors!

    The Politics and Poetics of Children’s Play: Helen Levitt’s Early Work By Elizabeth Margaret Gand A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emerita Anne Wagner, Chair Professor Emeritus Tim Clark Professor Elizabeth Abel Spring 2011 The Politics and Poetics of Children’s Play: Helen Levitt’s Early Work Copyright 2011 by Elizabeth Margaret Gand Abstract The Politics and Poetics of Children’s Play: Helen Levitt’s Early Work by Elizabeth Margaret Gand Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Emerita Anne Middleton Wagner, Chair This dissertation examines the work of the American photographer, Helen Levitt. It focuses in particular on her first phase of production—the years from 1937 to 1943—when she developed an important archive of pictures documenting children’s art and play encountered in the city streets. The dissertation is designed to help us understand the reasons why the subject of urban children’s art and play proved so productive for Levitt in her first phase of work. Why did she return again and again to the sight of children at play in the city streets? Why did she expend so much effort collecting children’s rude and crude drawings found on the pavement and the brownstone walls? What led her to envision the child as her genius loci of the urban streets, and what did she make out of the subject? Chapter one situates Helen Levitt’s initial turn to the child in relation to a surge of child imagery that appeared in the visual culture of the 1930s.
