P. N. Nampoori1 and Sheenu Thomas1 1International School of Photonics, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Cochin, India ABSTRACT We have observed micro viscosity variation using Styryl 7 dye through fluorescence lifetime techniques in different solvents. Fluorescence lifetime of Styryl 7 on different solvents is found to be increase with the viscosity of the samples. Lifetime studies confirm that Styryl 7 dye is a good fluorescent probe for detecting the micro viscosity of the samples. INTRODUCTION Fluorescent probes are generally used in biomedical studies for the detection of bio molecules and used in fluorescent imaging of biological matters. Among the wide varieties of fluorescent probes styryl dyes are commonly used [1]. These dyes are effectively applied as delicate probes for fluorescent staining of proteins [2]. Among different derivatives of styryl dyes few dyes are molecular rotors such as Styryl 7, Styryl 8, Styryl 9M, Thioflavin T. On exciting a molecular rotor, for example styryl 7, the benzothiazole and dimethylaminophynel group around the C꞊C bond will form a non-radiative twisted intramolecular charge transfer state. The most remarkable feature of molecular rotors is the dependency of the twisted state formation rate on the local environment, mainly the micro viscosity of the solvent. In the case of molecular rotor, the steric hindrance for the formation of twisted state is observed in viscous solvent. It has been reported that restriction to the formation of this twisted state will increases the fluorescence intensity of the dye [3]. In a biological system, viscosity plays an important role. The change in viscosity of cell membrane is the variation of various physical processes in the cell, mainly due to various diseases [4]. Some examples are, increased viscosity of red blood cells and blood platelets observed in patients with 1 Aquinas Journal of Multidisciplinary Research diabetes, an increased viscosity of erythrocytes seen in patients with liver disorder due to alcoholism, and decreased viscosity of leukocytes seen in patients with Alzheimer’s diseases [5-7]. EXPERIMENTAL Styryl 7 dye (S7) was used as supplied by Sigma-Aldrich. All the solvents were spectral grade and were used without further purifications. S7 dye of 0.02mM concentration was prepared on ethanol, methanol, butanol, isopropyl alcohol and water. Absorption and fluorescence spectrum of the samples were recorded by using UV-VIS NIR Spectrophotometer (Jasco V-570) and Varian Cary Eclipse fluorimeter. Lifetime studies were carried out by DeltaproTM fluorescence lifetime system. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Figure 1 shows the absorption spectrum of S7 on different solvents. The absorption is due to the charge transfer between the donor amino groups to the charged thiazole groups. Absorption peak for different solvent differs thoroughly as a function of solvent polarity. With an increase in polarity of the solvent the absorption peak has a blue shift, indicating a smaller dipole moment in the excited

  • Korean Television Dramas, Romance, Erotics, and Race
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transnational Intimacies: Korean Television Dramas, Romance, Erotics, and Race A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Gender Studies by Min Joo Lee 2020 © Copyright by Min Joo Lee 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transnational Intimacies: Korean Television Dramas, Romance, Erotics, and Race by Min Joo Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Gender Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Purnima Mankekar, Chair In this dissertation, I examine the gendered and racial politics of women’s transnational sex tourism. I draw on thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork with women from Europe and North America who travel to South Korea to form intimate relations with South Korean men in a phenomenon known as Hallyu tourism. Hallyu (also known as the Korean Wave) is a transnational phenomenon whereby people from all over the world consume South Korean popular culture including music, films, and television programs. In my dissertation, I focus on the transnational popularity of romantic South Korean television dramas and how they generate erotic desires in their viewers for South Korean men. I build on interdisciplinary debates in the fields of Gender Studies, Asian Studies, and Media Studies to examine the racial, gendered, and sexual politics of the Hallyu tourists’ erotic desires and their intimate relationships with South Korea men. I argue that these transnational relationships of intimacy produce racialized ii discourses of South Korean masculinity emerging at the intersection of South Korean cultural conceptions of gender and transnational discourses of race. Furthermore, I suggest that these intimate encounters between South Korean men and “Western” female Hallyu tourists compel us to reconfigure binary conceptions of West versus East, national versus transnational, sex versus romance, and masculine versus feminine.

    BAB II PEMBAHASAN Fenomena korean wave telah menghasilkan dampak yang berbeda-beda pada tingkat lintas-nasional dan internasional. Budaya modern Korea ini hadir pada seluruh lapisan masyarakat pun datang dengan bentuk dan proses yang berbeda- beda. Salah satunya dengan mengembangkan industri kecantikan sebagai kepopuleran baru dalam korean wave. Konsep kecantikan dinilai sebagai faktor utama dalam terbentuknya citra negara, karena kecantikan yang berkembang di Korea telah menciptakan standarisasi baru dalam dunia kecantikan Asia. Untuk mendukung terpenuhnya data, dalam bab ini akan mendeskripsikan tentang bagaimana fenomena korean wave mampu mendorong identitas kecantikan Korea hingga berkembang menjadi sebuah industri. 2.1 Sejarah Korean Wave Fenomena globalisasi Korea Selatan pertama kali populer di Tiongkok hingga saat ini dikenal dengan sebutan hallyu atau dalam istilah hal (韓) + lyu (流 ), kata dari “lyu” sendiri bukan hanya menunjukkan pada tren budaya tetapi juga bergerak dari sebuah ideologi politik-ekonomi sederhana kedalam paradigma budaya Korea pasca perang. Fenomena ini juga didukung penuh oleh pemerintah Korea Selatan sebagai budaya baru demi mendorong perekonomian negara yang pada zaman dahulu telah mengalami krisis pasca perang saudara antara Korea Utara dan Korea Selatan. Dalam perkembangannya, korean wave terbagi atas beberapa 27 periode yang menggambarkan tentang penciptaan baru terhadap fenomena global, dimulai dari hallyu periode 1.0 di tahun 1995, hingga hallyu 4.0.1 Pada periode hallyu 1.0, menggambarkan bagaimana proses munculnya pertama kali fenomena globalisasi ini hadir di Korea Selatan dan kemudian dikemukakan menjadi sebuah istilah yang dikenal sebagai hallyu atau korean wave. Fenomena tersebut hadir pada pertengahan tahun 1990-an, dan menjadi kekuatan budaya paling penting di Asia Timur hingga saat ini.

  • Celebrity Cinema and Hallyu 2.0 Ng Shu Min Chrystal, Nanyang
    Celebrity Cinema and Hallyu 2.0 Ng Shu Min Chrystal, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Liew Kai Khiun, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore The Asian Conference on Media & Mass Communication 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Through their realist cinematic portrayals of the traumatic evolution of Korean socio- political landscapes, Korean directors such as Im Kwon-Taek are synonymous with Korean national Cinema. These directors have raised the country’s cultural profile internationally through the film festival circuit. However, with the phenomenal global reach of the “Korean Wave” or Hallyu, film is no longer a singular projection of the image of South Korea. Today, television dramas have overtaken films, flooding television and small mobile screens with attractive faces of Korean celebrities. While several studies have made references to key Korean celebrities, namely Lee Young Ae, Rain and Gianna Jun, there have been fewer efforts to trace these celebrities’ trajectories within films and other platforms. This paper will explore how cinema within the Korean Wave phenomenon contributes to the ecology of the Korean Wave and the roles these celebrities play within this eco system. Keywords: Korean Wave, Hallyu, Korean Cinema, Celebrities, Gianna Jun, Lee Young Ae, Rain, Korean Drama iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction Through their realist cinematic portrayals of the traumatic evolution of Korean socio- political landscapes, the names of Im Kwon-Taek, Lee Chang Dong and Park Chan- Wook may be synonymous with Korean national Cinema. Featured commonly in the circuits of prestigious international film festivals, reviews and scholarly commentaries, these filmmakers have raised the profile of South Korea’s film culture in the global arena significantly.

  • Caste & Untouchability
    Paggi fr. Luigi s.x. * * * * * * * * Caste & untouchability Pro Manuscripto Title: Caste & untouchability. A study-research paper in the Indian Subcontinent Authored by: Paggi fr. Luigi sx Edited by: Jo Ellen Fuller- 2002 Photographs by: Angelo fr. Costalonga sx Printed by: “Museo d’Arte Cinese ed Etnografico di Parma” - 2005 © 2005 Museo d’Arte Cinese ed Etnografico © Paggi fr. Luigi sx A few years ago, my confreres (Xaverian Missionaries working in Bangladesh) requested that I conduct a four-day course on caste and untouchability. Probably, I benefited as much from teaching the course as my student-confreres did since the process helped me crystallize my ideas about Hinduism and the ramifications of certain aspects of this religion upon the cultures of the subcontinent. From time to time, I am invited to different places to deliver lectures on these two topics. I usually accept these invitations because I am convinced that those who would like to do something to change the miserable lot of so many poor people living in the Indian Subcontinent must be knowledgeable about the caste system and untouchability. People need to be aware of the negative effect and the impact of these two social evils regarding the abject misery and poverty of those who are at the bot- tom of the greater society. It seems that people living in the Indian Subcontinent , no matter which reli- gion they belong to, are still affected (consciously or unconsciously) by these as- pects of Hinduism that have seeped into other religions as well. In order to prepare myself for the task of lecturing (on caste and untoucha- bility), I read and studied many books, magazines and articles on these two evil institutions of Hinduism, which have affected the social life of most of the people living in the Indian Subcontinent.

  • Postmodern Approaches to Recent Hindi Literature
    Sudhīś Pacaurī and Pāṇḍey Śaśibhūṣaṇ ‘Śītāṃśu’: Postmodern Approaches to Recent Hindi Literature Veronica Ghirardi Università degli Studi di Torino [email protected] Abstract Postmodernism is a highly controversial phenomenon that animated the debates of Western scholars du- ring the closing decades of the Twentieth century. But has this term any meaning in the Indian context? This paper aims to introduce the notion of postmodernism in Hindi literary critique and more specifically the con- tributions of two scholars, Sudhīś Pacaurī and Pāṇḍey Śaśibhūṣaṇ ‘Śītāṃśu’, as the possible bases for textual analysis and further theoretical investigations. Keywords: Hindi Literature, Postmodernism, Literary Criticism, Sudhīś Pacaurī, Pāṇḍey Śaśibhūṣaṇ ‘Śī- tāṃśu’ —————————————— This paper aims to discuss the concept of postmodernism in the field of Hindi literature, through the per- spectives offered by two Indian scholars, Sudhīś Pacaurī and Pāṇḍey Śaśibhūṣaṇ ‘Śītāṃśu’. This is an almost unexplored research field and may represent a thought-provoking challenge. Postmodernism has been debat- ed in connection with multiple literary traditions — from Europe to Latin America, from the USA to Japan— but really few pages have been written on Indian literatures1. Undoubtedly a first issue has to be related to the origins of this cultural phenomenon, that are indissolubly connected with the Western world: can post- modernism be a suitable term for the Indian context? Or should it be considered a mere imported fashion? With the first section of this paper, after a general introduction to postmodernism, I attempt to answer this question, by discussing some possible acceptations of modernity and postmodernity in India. In sections 2 and 3, shifting from sociology towards literature (and particularly towards Hindi literature), I concentrate on Pacaurī’s and Śītāṃśu’s contributions, focusing on their analysis of some recent Hindi works.

  • Past, Present and Future of Hallyu (Korean Wave)
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 5, No. 5; October 2015 Past, Present and Future of Hallyu (Korean Wave) Kim Bok-rae Professor Andong national University I. Introduction Hallyu refers to the phenomenon of Korean popular culture which came into vogue in Southeast Asia and mainland China in late 1990s. Especially, hallyu is very popular among young people enchanted with Korean music (K-pop), dramas (K-drama), movies, fashion, food, and beauty in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, etc. This cultural phenomenon has been closely connected with multi-layered transnational movements of people, information and capital flows in East Asia. Since the 15th century, East and West have been the two subjects of cultural phenomena. Such East–West dichotomy was articulated by Westerners in the scholarly tradition known as “Orientalism.”During the Age of Exploration (1400–1600), West didn’t only take control of East by military force, but also created a new concept of East/Orient, as Edward Said analyzed it expertly in his masterpiece Orientalism in 1978. Throughout the history of imperialism for nearly 4-5 centuries, west was a cognitive subject, but East was an object being recognized by the former. Accordingly, “civilization and modernization” became the exclusive properties of which West had copyright (?!), whereas East was a “sub-subject” to borrow or even plagiarize from Western standards. In this sense, (making) modern history in East Asia was a compulsive imitation of Western civilization or a catch-up with the West in other wards. Thus, it is interesting to note that East Asian people, after gaining economic power through “compressed modernization,”1 are eager to be main agents of their cultural activities in and through the enjoyment of East Asian popular culture in a postmodern era.

IV (Mar. 2016) PP 60-65 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Soaps on Indian Television and the Formation of Interpretive Community: A Study of the Response Pattern of Women Viewers of Silchar Town towards Select Television Serials Lopamudra Bhattacharjee (Department of Mass Communication, Assam University, India) Abstract : The study tries to examine whether ‘interpretive communities’ can be defined or explained on the basis of age, gender, class, caste, race, and education. It also tends to find out how audiences shift between different interpretive communities as they shape their life style by understanding the texts. The research paper tries to study the soap opera audience and the formation of ‘interpretive communities’. The study attempts to find out the relationship between the audience and soap opera texts and how audiences construct meaning out of these texts within the context of family and everyday life. The study also tries to find out how soap operas by using the institutions like marriage, family, and religion represent women, men and the power of relationships and also their interpretation by audience. It also looks at how audiences with similar social, political and economic structure vary in their interpretation of these medium or texts. Lastly, the study concludes with the finding that women can sometimes form an interpretive community on the basis of their socio-cultural inclination. Keywords: Interpretive Community, Indian television, Silchar, Soap Opera, Women viewers I. Introduction Globalization resulted in the revolution in cable television and satellite television due to which India has entered the global market.

Referring to earlier periods and to North Korea when necessary and continuing to the present-day Korean Wave, we will explore Korean popular culture to understand the modern history of Korea. Please note that lecture locations can change with very little notice before the beginning of term. So be sure to check again before class begins. Instructor: Dr. Adam Bohnet, Associate Professor, Department of History. Office: South Annex 059. E-mail: [email protected]. Office Hours: Thursday,1:30-2:30, or by appointment. Prerequisites: None. Office Hours and E-mail: My office is South Annex 059. I will be there during my office hours on Tuesday 11:00-12:00. I will often be there at other times as well, and will usually be willing to talk to students (especially if my door is already open). If I am too busy right then, I will ask you to come by later - so it doesn’t hurt to ask! I will also respond to student questions by e-mail. I will try to respond promptly within a day, but students should allow for two days for a response. Do be sure to make it clear in the subject line that you are a student in my course. It also helps to hint at the matter at hand in the subject line also – ie, if you want a letter of reference, or have a question about the essay, please don’t send me an e-mail with the subject line “How are things?” as that will likely end up in my “to be read later” file, but with a subject line like “Student of Korean Wave and Beyond: Request for Letter of Reference” or “Korean Wave and Beyond: Question about Essay.” Please note that non-UWO e-mail may go missing.

As such, broadcast media, especially TV, lead to audience engagement on social media. Moreover, the audience engagement, in turn, impacts broadcast media ratings. Social TV analyzes audience’s TV-related social media behaviors and tries to use the behaviors in marketing activities such as advertisement; however, this is purely based on the quantity of engagement in social media. In this study, we analyze the subjects of the audience engagement on social media about specific TV dramas through topic modeling, and examines the relationship between changes in the topics and viewer ratings of the TV dramas.

In the course of accomplishing its duties and functions, media, especially television influence on society relatively depending on the audience it reaches. Soaps have a predominant female audience. Some soaps do include men viewers but some social researchers pointed, women are considering most peculiar viewers. They are emotionally attached and value particular soaps in their personal and domestic life. Today people are leading a fast life. People should have some kind of recreation in their get relation of their physical and psychological balances of life. So, different people have different activities to spend their leisure. Based on the present study, most of the women are getting involved with the soap opera and were emotionally attached and curiously waiting for next episodes as it is effecting social, family and occupational life. So the present study tried to come out with fact of effects of soap operas’ on women’s behaviour in the aspects of socio- cultural aspects, economic aspects, psychological aspects, physiological aspects and functional aspects. Keywords Media, Behaviour, Addiction, Soap Opera. Introduction Media is considered to be a mode of socialization process and it is having a long term effect on its audience as the channel of communication.
