In one of the most applauded acts, local group Macau Art Fusion paired with traditional Portuguese songs and dance troupe “Macau no Coração” to present an act that delves deep into the roots of both the Portu- guese and Macau people. Laura Nyogery, the leader of the troupe, said: “We pick up the theme from fishing and fishermen and the sea, and re- late it to the history of Portugal. [We] also address the [ideas] of discovery and adventure and we cross this with the poetry of Zeca Afonso, merging it into several art forms.” She explained that the purpose is to highlight fee- lings such as “hope or missing someone,” using metaphors of the lives of fishermen, shown through the choreography, mu- sic, wardrobe and make-up. Crowds pictured yesterday at the festival Nyogery noted the importan- ce of Lusofonia Festival for the group as, “it’s a very anticipated event by the students because it has an audience that is very familiar and friendly.

  • “Power Femininity” and Popular Women's Magazines in China
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 2831–2852 1932–8036/20160005 “Power Femininity” and Popular Women’s Magazines in China EVA CHEN National Chengchi University, Taiwan Western women’s glossy magazines (“glossies”) have made increasing inroads in the Chinese market and advocate a “power femininity,” which celebrates women’s assertive individualism and power as consumerist agency. While this power femininity has global neoliberal resonances, it also taps into the unique postsocialist Chinese context, where the liberation of individual desires, including the material and the sexual, is linked with a strongly felt need to undo a past socialist wrong that repressed people and deprived them of what should be an inalienable human right. This concept departs from the caregiving, self-sacrificial, and family-oriented “natural femininity” promoted in local women’s magazines in terms of aspiration, assertiveness, and a nativist-versus- international divide, yet ultimately both the Western and local women’s magazines are united by a shared stress on the need to cultivate a distinct Chineseness in the feminine ideal and to position women’s magazines as an integral part of the Chinese nationalist project of modernization and progress. Keywords: Chinese femininity, Chineseness, neoliberalism, women’s magazines Contemporary women’s magazines in China are no longer politicized Party tools of the socialist era and instead are market driven and highly popular among women from all walks of life. Since China’s 2001 accession to the World Trade

  • Wildaid 2014 Annual Report
    PAGE!2 OUR VISION WildAid’s mission is to end the illegal wildlife trade in our lifetimes. While most wildlife conservation groups focus on scientifc studies and protecting animals from poaching, WildAid works to reduce global consumption of wildlife products. Our primary strategy is mass media campaigning to reduce demand for these products with our slogan: “When the Buying Stops, the Killing Can Too.” Using the same tech- niques as high-end advertisers, we want to make conserva- tion aspirational and exciting. We also help to protect marine reserves, such as the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador and Misool Eco Resort in Indonesia, to safeguard sharks, mantas and other marine wildlife from direct threats such as overfishing. With a comprehensive management approach and appropriate technologies, WildAid delivers cost-efective enforcement to secure marine sanctuaries. PAGE!3 LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER In 2014, WildAid’s long-running shark fn campaign in China achieved widespread acclaim and recognition after a 50 to 70 percent reported decline in shark fn sales. This was the conclusion of multiple sources, from shark fn traders, to independent online and restaurant surveys, to media investigations from CNN, the Washington Post, the People’s Daily and CCTV, as well as government statistics. Vendors reported a 50 percent decrease in prices over the previous two years. Meanwhile, 85 percent of consumers surveyed online said they had given up shark fn soup in the past three years, with two-thirds citing public awareness campaigns as a main reason for ending their shark fn consumption. In Indonesia, fshermen reported it was no longer worth targeting sharks.

  • 2016 Annual Report 4 at a Glance
    2 OUR VISION WildAid’s mission is to end the illegal wildlife trade in our lifetimes. While most wildlife conservation groups focus on scientific studies and anti-poaching efforts, we work to reduce global consumption of wildlife products and to increase local support for conservation efforts. Teaming up with celebrity ambassadors and using the same techniques as high-end advertisers, WildAid creates aspirational and exciting conservation campaigns that are seen by hundreds of millions of people every year. We also collaborate with government and NGO partners to secure marine protected areas, such as the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador and Palau’s Northern Reefs, from threats such as illegal fishing. With a comprehensive management approach and the use of innovative technologies, we deliver cost-effective enforcement to key marine reserves around the world. At the invitation of the Chinese government, we are now using our communications model to encourage behavior change to reduce climate change. Our campaigns encourage lower carbon transport and food choices. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT WILDAID.ORG Cover: Sunda pangolin (©Paul Hilton) Inside cover: School of mobula rays (©Shawn Heinrichs) 3 FROM THE CEO 2016 was another year of incredible progress for WildAid. It often takes several years for us and other independent researchers to be able to document the fruits of our efforts, and last year we saw some massive results from previous years of work. These results prove that our model is replicable, cost-effective and an essential part of conservation success. For me personally, it was amazing to return to the Galapagos Islands after a six-year absence.

  • Waiting Alone (2004) Was His First Feature Film
    搞笑网 Waiting Alone 独自等待 Dúzì děngdài Dayyan Eng 伍仕贤 (Wu Shixian), 2004 107 min Stars: Xia Yu 厦雨, Li Bingbing 李冰冰, Gong Beibi 龚蓓苾 Best First Feature (Beijing FF), Official Selection (Tokyo International FF; Thessaloniki IFF; Hawaii IFF). Best Actor (Beijing FF). Set among Beijing’s affluent and energetic youth culture, this exuberant romantic comedy follows a young man in his mid-20s, a partner in an antique shop and aspiring writer, who finds himself smitten by a young actress who seems to be the woman of his dreams, but is giving him ambiguous signals about her feelings toward him. At the same time he remains deaf to the potential of his ‘buddy’ relationship with the sister of his best guy friend. As he attempts to win over his dream woman, he battles with his own (often adolescent) insecurities, reels from the consequences of his own ineptness, and follows (or not) the advice of his close circle of friends. What might at first appear to be just another boy-gets-girl plot is saved by some unexpected (but credible) twists and turns in the story line, the completely engaging performance of Xia Yu in the lead role, and an entirely satisfying but unconventional ending. Made for millennials by one of their own—a ‘cross-cultural kid’ without nationalistic or political baggage—director Dayyan Eng rides the wave of China’s official embrace of cinema as pure entertainment. As of 2017, Waiting Alone remained the highest rated romantic comedy by Chinese audiences and critics, and a continuing favorite of Chinese millennials (八零后 Balinghou).

    Master’s Degree in European, American and Postcolonial Language and Literature Final Thesis Old Teachings, New Marketing Strategies, and Hollywood’s Industry: The Cultural Conflicts between the U.S. and China Supervisor Simone Francescato Assistant supervisor Marco Perusi Savorelli Graduand Zeno Casti 845026 Academic Year 2018 / 2019 Abstract This study aims at identifying the analogies and differences between American culture and Chinese culture stemming from marketing strategies and their adaptation. It shows in particular that some Chinese literary masterpieces, including Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, can be considered as starting point and as inspiration for American financial strategy, business attitude and general approach to the American mentality and lifestyle. The objective of this research is to explain how the teachings contained in such works represent the cornerstones that inspired American successful entrepreneurial spirit and why they are considered now the key for American marketing approach to China and its enigmatic culture, especially through the translation of brands into Chinese language. The study then investigates the economic factors and cultural influences that China exercised over U.S. Film Industry, by focusing on the economic and cultural reasons why Hollywood decided, or rather, was forced to accept financing from China in order to expand (and save) their Film Industry and why Chinese film production companies chose to invest in this business to learn the know-how needed to produce successful films in China.

Among the slew of films made in time for the 60 anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China — including City of Life and Death (南京！南京！) and The Founding of a Republic (建國大業) — The Message is a well-crafted genre flick that’s more interested in entertaining its audiences than whipping up anti- Japanese sentiment or heavy-handed propagandizing. It is 1942 Nanjing, where the invading Japanese have set up a Chinese puppet government. After a series of assassination attempts, it becomes clear that there is a double agent in the regime’s intelligence unit who is working for the resistance.
