An Ethnography of the Spring Festival
IMAGINING CHINA IN THE ERA OF GLOBAL CONSUMERISM AND LOCAL CONSCIOUSNESS: MEDIA, MOBILITY, AND THE SPRING FESTIVAL A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Li Ren June 2003 This dissertation entitled IMAGINING CHINA IN THE ERA OF GLOBAL CONSUMERISM AND LOCAL CONSCIOUSNESS: MEDIA, MOBILITY AND THE SPRING FESTIVAL BY LI REN has been approved by the School of Interpersonal Communication and the College of Communication by Arvind Singhal Professor of Interpersonal Communication Timothy A. Simpson Professor of Interpersonal Communication Kathy Krendl Dean, College of Communication REN, LI. Ph.D. June 2003. Interpersonal Communication Imagining China in the Era of Global Consumerism and Local Consciousness: Media, Mobility, and the Spring Festival. (260 pp.) Co-directors of Dissertation: Arvind Singhal and Timothy A. Simpson Using the Spring Festival (the Chinese New Year) as a springboard for fieldwork and discussion, this dissertation explores the rise of electronic media and mobility in contemporary China and their effect on modern Chinese subjectivity, especially, the collective imagination of Chinese people. Informed by cultural studies and ethnographic methods, this research project consisted of 14 in-depth interviews with residents in Chengdu, China, ethnographic participatory observation of local festival activities, and analysis of media events, artifacts, documents, and online communication. The dissertation argues that “cultural China,” an officially-endorsed concept that has transformed a national entity into a borderless cultural entity, is the most conspicuous and powerful public imagery produced and circulated during the 2001 Spring Festival. As a work of collective imagination, cultural China creates a complex and contested space in which the Chinese Party-state, the global consumer culture, and individuals and local communities seek to gain their own ground with various strategies and tactics. -

Chapter 3: Venue Support for Performing Arts Groups
Chapter 3: Venue Support for Performing Arts Groups Introduction 3.1 LCSD manages 13 performing arts venues. Based on the design, roles and functions of the facilities, they can be classified into two broad categories: Purpose-built performing arts venues with sophisticated technical facilities capable of accommodating major and technically demanding programmes from the international touring circuit as well as established local performing arts groups, and attracting patrons from wide catchment areas. Some of these facilities are multi-purpose in design, and may be adapted for different types of events such as concerts, theatrical and multi-arts performances. The Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong City Hall, Kwai Tsing Theatre, Sha Tin Town Hall, Tsuen Wan Town Hall, Tuen Mun Town Hall and Yuen Long Theatre fall under this category. Among these venues, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and the Hong Kong City Hall are territory-wide facilities patronized by local citizens as well as international visitors while the Kwai Tsing Theatre, which is most sophistically equipped for theatrical productions, is capable of housing technically demanding programmes and is attracting audience from all over Hong Kong. - 43 - Moderately-equipped venues capable of accommodating small to medium-scale performances and activities including those organized by the community. The Ko Shan Theatre, Sheung Wan Civic Centre, Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre, Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre, North District Town Hall and Tai Po Civic Centre fall under this category. Except for the Ko Shan Theatre, all other venues under this category are located in joint-user buildings with other municipal, sports, school or social welfare uses. -

Observed versus Expected Match- Running Outputs of International Female Rugby Sevens Players A thesis submitted to Massey University, Albany, New Zealand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sport and Exercise Kirsty Yallop 2018 Primary Supervisor: Associate Professor Andrew Foskett Co-Supervisor: Associate Professor Ajmol Ali 1 Abstract Women’s rugby sevens is a new and emerging sport with limited knowledge, specifically on international female match-running outputs. It is a rare opportunity to conduct research on elite athletes, and even more so for an emerging women’s sport. The overall aim of this thesis is to establish and compare observed international female rugby sevens players’ match-running outputs versus theoretical expected match-running outputs (elite male players and an established sport, football). Another unknown aspect of the women’s rugby sevens game is how fatigue affects performance. The thesis also determines differences in match-running outputs of international female rugby sevens players from half-to-half, game-to-game and tournament-to-tournament. Global Positioning System (GPS) units worn on the players’ backs were used to collect data from 18 female rugby sevens players across 15 matches and 19 female football players across four matches. Reasons for the gaps found in match-running outputs and aspects that could be improved for optimal elite performance in female rugby sevens were explored. -
Chapter 2 Quality City and Quality Life
Chapter 2 Quality City And Quality Life Preamble The development of Hong Kong into a knowledge-based economy requires talent from around the world, and a quality city life is essential to attracting talent. The concept of “Progressive Development” advocated by the Chief Executive is to develop a quality city life by striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection and conservation. In the arena of environmental protection, we launched a basket of new initiatives in areas such as air quality improvement, waste management and promoting a low-carbon economy and lifestyle. Environmental protection is a long-term and continuing commitment. The Government will continue to promote regional co-operation to improve air quality within the region, and to develop the PRD Region into a green and quality living area. Global warming is an international concern. We will meet the challenge of climate change with early planning. In particular, we will enhance energy effi ciency and promote a low carbon economy — an economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution. Moreover, we will strengthen our cultural software, develop our audience base, and support more small and medium arts groups to tie in with the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District, which is proceeding as planned. 28 Quality City And Quality Life We will also continue our efforts to beautify the shoreline of Victoria Harbour by turning it into a landmark to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. 29 Quality City And Quality Life New Initiatives We will: • Oversee the progressive launch of digital audio broadcasting services by three commercial licensees and Radio Television Hong Kong as from late 2011/early 2012. -
