As well as goal attainment is also a focus within intercultural competence and it involves the communicator to convey a sense of communication appropriateness and effectiveness in diverse cultural contexts. Nonverbal communication refers to gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice, eye contact or lack thereof , body language, posture, and other ways people can communicate without using language.

  • Introduction: in the Event—Toward an Anthropology of Generic Moments
    IntroductIon In the Event—toward an Anthropology of Generic Moments Bruce Kapferer Against the Case as Illustration: The Event in Anthropology The exploration of events and situations has long been at the focus of anthro- pological ethnographic description. In common with many other disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, this has been so in two main and frequently combined senses: (1) as exemplifications or illustrations, usually in the form of case studies, of more general ethnographic descriptive or theoretical assertions, or (2) as happenings or occasions, slices of life, that establish a conundrum or problematic that the presentation of an ethnography and its analysis will solve or otherwise explain. Most anthropological ethnographies offer examples or variations of the first. The second is relatively common, especially among histo- rians, but perhaps the work of Clifford Geertz is the most celebrated example in anthropology. An outstanding instance is Geertz’s (1980) study Negara, which opens with the mass suicide of the Balinese court before the Dutch invaders. This event sets the stage for his exploration of the Balinese theatre state, Geertz demonstrating the suicide as consistent with a Balinese political logic that pres- ents power as defined and determined in the performance of status. The concern with events and situations in this book seeks to extend beyond these more or less conventional usages and to argue for a deepening of the methodological significance of events and situations in anthropological ethno- graphic practice. The overall direction of the approach that I essay is one that takes the event as central to anthropological analysis rather than the concept of society, in relation to which the event or the event-as-case is commonly engaged, either to substantialize the abstract (society) or to provide a means to grasp the foundational or general organizational principles of society.

This was the era when modern medical models of the body were developed and disseminated, when modern political relations to the body were instantiated, and when modern identities in relation to class, race, and gender were inscribed. While questions about the distinctions between personhood and the body were studied

ISBN: 9782821895744. Chapter 3 From Nature to “Culture” In the first two chapters we presented evidence of general principles involved in complexity as mosaics as seen in very different fields. It is interesting to observe that the two distinguishing features which are the pride of the human race, i.e. the brain and highly complex thought, are built on the same foundations as the rest of the living world – juxtaposition and integration. In the present chapter, I shall analyze the comparison in terms of nature and culture, with the brain referring to nature and the mind referring to culture. English-speakers often make the distinction between nature and nurture, but I prefer to use the continental word “culture”, for both humans and animals. The discussion in the previous chapter included phenomena of the mind such as language, music, drawing, philosophy and literature, and was already what I consider to be a cultural approach.

  • Otak-Who? Technoculture, Youth, Consumption, and Resistance
    Lawrence Eng Research Seminar Methods in STS Spring, 2002 Otak-who? Technoculture, youth, consumption, and resistance. American representations of a Japanese youth subculture. Abstract The otaku are a youth subculture first characterized in Japan, but beyond that basic definition of the term, there have been numerous, often contradictory and routinely contested, ways the otaku have been represented by various segments of Japanese society over the course of the last 2 decades. The otaku in Japan (and abroad) have attracted non- Japanese attention as well, and the otaku have been studied, mimicked, ridiculed, romanticized, etc. by Americans who have become interested in this apparently fascinating Japanese (sub)cultural export. Influenced by Japanese conceptions of otaku as obsessed fans, technological fetishists, avid collectors, antisocial outcasts, and/or borderline psychopaths, but informed by American attitudes toward geek culture, hackers, cyberpunks, individualism, and lay expertise, representations of otaku by American observers of the culture have been equally varied (and contested) over the last decade. This paper will examine the various and changing representations of otaku culture by Americans, and attempt to unpack the context behind and the implications of those representations. Drawing upon themes uncovered in this critical discourse analysis, I will suggest a new way of defining otaku as 'reluctant insiders' engaged in the appropriation of technology and science as a means of cultural resistance. I will argue that their activities are informed by a particular otaku ethic that distinguishes them from other subcultures with similar motivations. Introduction My paper is divided into three parts. In Part 1, I ask: Why do we care about otaku, and how will we study them? In Part 2, I will critically analyze the various ways otaku have been represented since they were first characterized as a subculture in the early 80s.

Libby is on the verge of becoming a woman and her mother, writer Genevieve Smart, has just been reported a missing person. There are no clues to her mother’s disappearance; all that is left behind is a completed, but unpublished, manuscript which appears to be a family history. The Ocean Road is a contemporary literary novel which tells the story of the Smart family, a ragtag bunch of smokers and drinkers who fight too much and spend too much time together. Their story runs alongside a parallel story, the unpublished manuscript, which is set in Adelaide and Melbourne in 1938, 1972 and 1986 and which outlines the struggles and stories of people who, it might be said, are aspiring to the level of working class enjoyed by the Smart family. The story set in 1938 describes an Aboriginal couple, Jack and Margery, and what they do to try to survive.

  • Different Aspects of Intercultural Nonverbal Communication: a Study
    CPUH-Research Journal: 2016, 1(1), 17-24 ISSN (Online): 2455-6076 http://www.cpuh.in/academics/academic_journals.php Different Aspects of Intercultural Nonverbal Communication: A Study Saurabh Kaushal 1School of Humanities & Management Sciences, Career Point University, Hamirpur (HP) INDIA E-mail: [email protected] (Received 05 July, 2015; Accepted 18 July, 2015; Published 03 Mar, 2016) ABSTRACT: Communication is a dynamic and wide process with its ever changing roles of sending and receiving information, ideas, emotions and the working of mind. Communication is not only a word but a term in itself with multiple interpretations. Out of a number of forms, there are two very important kinds of communication, verbal and non-verbal and the relation between them is inseparable. Non-verbal communication keeps the major portion of the periphery occupied and in absence of it communication can never happen. In the era of caveman, just using nonverbal communication could help to understand the other person, but in the complex society of today both ver- bal and non-verbal forms of communication are needed to fully understand each other. We start taking lessons in nonverbal communication from the very starting of our life from parents and the society in which we are surviving. There is a very common perception among people that for understanding any oral message we have to concentrate and subsequently be able to understand the nonverbal elements, but in reality nonverbal communication is not as easy to understand as it seems to be. Often it is misinterpreted and because of that wrong message is understood by the receiver.

    CULTURAL LITERACY: WHAT EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO KNOW FREE DOWNLOAD E. D Hirsch,Joseph F. Kett,James S. Trefil | 251 pages | 01 May 1988 | Random House USA Inc | 9780394758435 | English | New York, United States What Does Every American Need to Know Today? Nice thought, difficult to enforce. That is to say, while I may agree with Hirsch's general concept that we need more common cultural literacy, the details are where things get hung up. Others, like nativism, are both a specific historical reference and recurring motif in American politics. But in practice, recognizing the true and longstanding diversity of American identity is not an either-or. Because 5, or even items is too daunting a place to start, I ask here only for your top ten.

The culturally literate person is able to talk to and understand others of that culture with fluency.

Scope of COMSt (ABa) 1.1. The background of COMSt Work with manuscripts in both an academic, i.e. scholarly, and a non-academic context involves a huge number of aspects to be considered. It has not been a goal of the COMSt project to work on a theoretical definition of the manuscript, namely to define what a manuscript is. Instead of such a theoretical and com- parative typological approach, the object of COMSt was, right from the beginning, manuscript studies as a conglomeration of already existing disciplines spread among various fields that were to be put in dialogue with each other. For the sake of convenience, a recent definition might be provided as a starting point here, according to which a ‘book’ is ‘a transportable object intended for hosting, sharing and transmitting immediately readable contents in an ordered and lasting way’ (Andrist et al. 2013, 46, my translation). The focus of the COMSt handbook, however, is on a peculiar subtype of the ‘book’, namely handwritten book forms of the codex area, including the horizontal and vertical roll and rotulus, all of them seen in their historical development in a definite historical and geographical area here styled ‘oriental’ (see be- low).
