Its setting in a religious context makes the whole research unique among research on the topic of international students’ cross-cultural experience. The study aims to address the overarching research question: What is the role of Christian churches in the intercultural experiences of Chinese international students in the UK? There are five sub-questions further developed from both student and church perspectives to comprehensively explore the main issue: 1) Why do non-Christian Chinese students choose to go to churches after they arrive in the UK? 2) Do Christian churches serve as a medium of intercultural encounter for Chinese international students? 3) What is the institutional motivation of the Christian community for attracting international students, especially Chinese students? 4) What are the Christian churches’ strategies in working with Chinese international students? 5) What is more important for students, religious or intercultural experience? The study employs survey, semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis as research methods to provide an analysis on international students’ church experiences. In the context of the non-Christian Chinese students’ international mobility and Christianity in China and UK, it investigates the intentions behind and purposes of the intercultural engagement between churches and students. What underpins the interaction between Chinese students and the international Christian community is the interplay between educational, religious, socio-cultural, and psychological factors. The study also presents the western culture, Christianity, as well as the cultural/religious background of Chinese students, and highlights Christian ambitions and missionary strategies (working model) towards non-Christian international students. The findings indicate that social connections with the host environment and the nature of organisation play a significant role in the cross-cultural adaptation and individual development of international students. Besides offering an explanation for the mechanism behind the students’ church participation, the findings also demonstrate that it is Christian churches, rather than universities in the experience of Chinese international students in the UK to facilitate intercultural encounters. The study recommends that universities be encouraged to undertake relevant interventions to facilitate meaningful intercultural engagement among students in the multicultural campus environment. iv

In ancient times, it generally referred to long gowns worn by the people of Manchuria, Mongolia.  In the early years of the Qing Dynasty (16441911), long gowns featured collarless, narrow sleeves in the shape of a horse's hoof, buttons down the left front, four slits and a fitting waist. For thousands of years, traditional Chinese family structure was strictly patriarchal, with the father or eldest male as the head of the household as well as provider and guide. Women had little power in the family system, and the patriarch held absolute authority. Both tradition and laws upheld this patriarchal structure. Yang, Shaorong.

  • Tang Dynasty Clothing
    Tang dynasty clothing Continue Unified and prosperous China was founded in the Tang dynasty (618-907). In Chinese history, the Tang dynasty was a period when politics and the economy were well developed and culture and art flourished. The women's dress and the personal decorations of the Tang dynasty were excellent in Chinese history. The clothing materials were fine, the texture was natural, graceful and elegant, and the decorations were brilliant. Although the shapes of the garments were still a continuation of the Han dynasty (206BC-220AD) and the Sui dynasty (581-618), they were influenced by western cultures and arts. High Tang's national power in particular was strong. Trade and cultural exchanges with Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Persian and other countries gradually became more common, sending each other ambassadors and accepting students from other countries. In this way, a special open and romantic dress style and personal decorations were formed. Due to communication with the Western regions, the impact of the dress culture of other minorities on the Tang Court also reflected a change in ideas and concepts. Chinese women were severely constrained by the old Kungfutse or feudal ethical code throughout the ages. The social status of ancient women was very low: they often served under the nameJileren (music performer), Guanji (official performer), Gongji (palace performer) andJiaji (family performer), and were considered playful and goods that rich people can sell and buy. Some women had rebel spirit in the Tang dynasty, so they climbed or jumped over walls and went into the wild to watch beautiful scenes and/or go sightseeing in the spring riding horses with men.

  • BLANK! a FOUR-SEASON WARDROBE PROTOTYPE COLLECTION Exploring Set-Making on the Basis of Making Directly in the Final Material As Design Method
    HDK – VALAND STENEBY BLANK! A FOUR-SEASON WARDROBE PROTOTYPE COLLECTION Exploring set-making on the basis of making directly in the final material as design method Linus Kim Brodén Essay/Thesis: 15 hp Program and/or course: MFA in applied arts and design, textile-body-space Level: Second Cycle Semester/year: Spring 2020 Supervisor: Maria Sjöstrand, Emma Fälth Examiner: Maja Gunn Report no: 2020:08 Abstract This work explores set-making on the basis of making directly in the final material as design method to create new perspectives on clothes and dressmaking where there is no distinction between prototype and final garment. The aim is to create a four-season wardrobe collection through the idea of cultivating a personal style by working directly in the final material. I rather be with the material and give attention to the process of making, in hope of finding myself, instead of being in the realms of ideas and designing in pursuit of new expressions. My interest in fashion began with the notion of clothes as self-expression. I have come to believe that cultivating personal style is a sustainable way to approach fashion in terms of creating self-awareness in relation to clothes. A couple of years ago I started to experiment with what that meant to me. I decided to stop buying clothes and only make them myself as a tactic to cultivate my personal style of dressing as well as my craft by letting them inform each other. Through this research I discovered an interest in set-making and simple cutting which I wanted to explore further.

  • Tracing the Korean Orphan and Adoptee Through South Korean and American National Narratives
    Orphan, Adoptee, Nation: Tracing the Korean Orphan and Adoptee through South Korean and American National Narratives By Kira Ann Donnell A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elaine H. Kim, Chair Professor Catherine Ceniza Choy Professor Jinsoo An Professor Grace J. Yoo Fall 2019 Abstract Orphan, Adoptee, Nation: Tracing the Korean Orphan and Adoptee through South Korean and American National Narratives by Kira Ann Donnell Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Elaine H. Kim, Chair The transnational adoption industrial complex established between South Korea and the United States following the Korean War initiated what is sometimes called the “Quiet Migration.” Since then, over 200,000 Korean children have been sent abroad, and the transnational, transracial adoption industry has operations set up in dozens of developing countries worldwide which takes thousands of children annually from their natal homes and places them in adoptive families in Western countries. For the past seventy years, the figures of the Korean orphan and adoptee have held significant meaning in the imaginations of by South Korean and American citizens. The sentimental figure of the Korean orphan became the conduit through which both South Koreans and Americans defined their experiences in the Korean War. The transnational Korean adoptee has become an icon of the United States’ commitment to humanitarianism and diversity and South Korea’s modern branding as a sophisticated and internationally-networked nation. This dissertation explores how United States and South Korean culture and society have used the figures of the Korean orphan and Korean adoptee to construct national identities that reflect its citizens as virtuous, cosmopolitan, and unified.

  • 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.

This is also China's development superiority on the international economic stage. With the deepening of economic globalization, numerous new products in China have appeared on the world stage. Products with Chinese characteristics are widely welcomed.

The paper divides the characteristics of China 's traditional culture costumes into four parts. The application of modern fashion design must pay attention to these four parts: the significance of introducing the traditional elements into fashion design, the problems existing in the design of modern Chinese clothing, the applying tactics of the traditional styling elements in Chinese costume culture and in modern fashion design, the traditional styling elements in Chinese costume culture. 1. Introduction China's costume culture can be described as broad culture; it forms a unique Chinese dress style. It is known to all that. There are 56 ethnic groups in our country and they have undergone the replacement of many dynasties in the long history. The costume culture of China already has rich connotation and implication, which is a unique manifestation of the world's clothing culture [1].
