  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

In order to counteract previous decontextualized and over-universalizing discussions of contemporary Chinese art, most art history, theatre, and performance studies scholars have emphasized how art and culture emerged within specific historical and political contexts. However, by repeatedly relying on contextualization, the Chinese are reproduced as lacking imagination, contradictions, and complexity. By examining the historical emergence of this discourse, I demonstrate the limits of past approaches in order to explore other methodological possibilities. In contrast to other scholars who have situated contemporary Chinese performance and art within over-determined modes of contextualization, this dissertation locates alternative methodological possibilities in affect and feelings.

  • Landscape and Architecture in the Burial Place of St Francis Xavier
    Matthieu Masson “Sancian: Landscape and Architecture in the Burial Place of St Francis Xavier Sancian: Landscape and Architecture In the Burial Place of St Francis Xavier Matthieu Masson [Abstract] St Francis Xavier, died in December 1552 on Sancian Island ( 上川島), Guangdong Province. Even though the remote temporary burial place of Francis Xavier was symbolically important for the Catholic missions in China, it was rarely frequented by pilgrims. A memorial stone, engraved in Macau in 1639, was however erected there in 1644. In 1700, this stone became the center of a larger sanctuary staged on the slope and facing the maritime landscape, but it was soon abandoned and fell into ruins. The pilgrimages started only during the 19th Century and the church visible today still shows the date of completion as 1869, even though it has been since intensely modified. It was built together with a second church and two granite pyramids, which extended the sanctuary in the surrounding landscape. The main purpose of this article is therefore to offer reconstructed views of the lost monuments, architecture and landscaping of Sancian. These views will help us to understand how the same place and meanings prevailed in different times. These monuments were metaphors of the life and death of Francis Xavier, connecting earth and heaven, the East and the West, land and sea. They were designed to be seen from afar and from the sea. Conversely, they spare the view that overlooks China, for which St Francis Xavier forever longed to reach. - 173 - 《天主教研究學報》〈中國天主教教會史學：歷史資源和方法論〉 第十期 2019 年 The origins of the Sanctuary An Empty Burial Place Francis Xavier was one of the first members of the Jesuits.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.
