Demography of the Dobe !Kung - Nancy Howell - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1979, this is a classic study of the population of the Bushmen of the Kalahari Deselt of Botswana. Using methods that are simple and fully illustrated, the author presents empirical descriptions of the fertility, mortality, and marriage patterns of the now famous !Kung hunter-gatherers. The !King "Bushman" people of the Kalahari desert in Africa occupy an anomalous position in the world of science. They have been selected for intensive study precisely because they are geographically, socially, and economically removed from modern, industrialized society, living in a sparsely settled and remote portion of an enormous semidesert. The !Kung maintain the language and culture of a fully develop hunting and gathering society with (until very recently) no dependence on cultivated plants, no domesticated animals other than the dog, no stratification system based on kinship or occupation, no power or authority structure extending further than the local bands composed of a few related families, no wage labor, no use of money, and no settled sites of occupation. At the same time, the !Kung have become well-known figures to students—both undergraduate and professional—of Western social science. The faces of !Kung informants gaze from the covers and the illustrations of many texts in anthropology and sociology. Why has all this attention been developed around the !Kung people? Part of the answer lies in the people themselves. The !Kung are a physically attractive people, with slender, graceful bodies and open small-featured faces that are appealing and photogenic. Their culture is simple and has its striking features. The struggle for subsistence, the click language, the emphasis on sharing and humility, the drama of the curing dances in which individuals go into trance and speak directly to spirits to cure sickness, and the pervasive humor, teasing, and playfulness of the !Kung style are all features that are relatively easy to convey and interesting to l earn about. This work covers areas such as marriage, fertility, disease, mortality, history, and the projected future of the !Kung. This book will be of interest to students of demographic studies, anthropology, and African studies.

Chinese American Masculinities - Jachinson Chan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Fu Shan’s World - Qianshen Bai - Bog - Harvard University Press - Plusbog.dk

For 1,300 years, Chinese calligraphy was based on the elegant art of Wang Xizhi (A.D. 303-361). But the emergence in the 17th century of a style modeled on the rough, broken epigraphs of ancient artifacts led to the formation of the stele school. Eminent calligrapher and art theorist Fu Shan (1607-1685) was a dominant force in this school.

Martial Sound - Colin P. Mcguire - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Martial Sound examines the performance and function of music in the martial arts traditions of Chinese Canadians. Author Colin P. McGuire''s novel theory of martial sound identifies the ways in which one can hear music as martial arts and listen to hand combat as musicking. In doing so, McGuire both outlines how to discuss fighting rhythms in musical terms and provides a conceptual framework for analyzing how music can function as a form of self-defence. Throughout, McGuire closely studies the gong and drum percussion music that accompany the lion dance and kung fu, all of which are practised together as a single blurred genre by members of the Hong Luck Kung Fu Club in Toronto, Canada. While Hong Luck''s history and character are distinctive, the club''s practices and approaches are typical of many styles of Southern Chinese martial arts, both in China and abroad. During the eight years of participant observation fieldwork completed for this book, both of Hong Luck''s founding masters passed away, marking the end of an era. The first female lion dancers also began performing during the fieldwork period, which reconfigured traditional constructions of gender. Through highlighting recent developments within this community and the diaspora, McGuire shows that while kung fu practitioners have traditionally used their interdisciplinary performances as a ritual to disperse negative energy for patrons, they now extend that martial function to become an empowering performance that challenges a history of race-based discrimination in Canada.

Diasporic Cold Warriors - Chien Wen Kung - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Diasporic Cold Warriors, Chien-Wen Kung explains how the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) sowed the seeds of anticommunism among the Philippine Chinese with the active participation of the Philippine state. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Philippine Chinese were Southeast Asia's most exemplary Cold Warriors among overseas Chinese. During these decades, no Chinese community in the region was more vigilant in identifying and rooting out suspected communists from within its midst; none was as committed to mobilizing against the People's Republic of China as the one in the former US colony. Ironically, for all the fears of overseas Chinese communities' ties to the PRC at the time, the example of the Philippines shows that the "China" that intervened the most extensively in any Southeast Asian Chinese society during the Cold War was the Republic of China on Taiwan. For the first time, Kung tells the story of the Philippine Chinese as pro-Taiwan, anticommunist partisans, tracing their evolving relationship with the KMT and successive Philippine governments over the mid-twentieth century. Throughout, he argues for a networked and transnational understanding of the ROC-KMT party-state and demonstrates that Taipei exercised a form of nonterritorial sovereignty over the Philippine Chinese with Manila's participation and consent. Challenging depoliticized narratives of cultural integration, he also contends that, because of the KMT, Chinese identity formation and practices of belonging in the Philippines were deeply infused with Cold War ideology. Drawing on archival research and fieldwork in Taiwan, the Philippines, the United States, and China, Diasporic Cold Warriors reimagines the histories of the ROC, the KMT, and the Philippine Chinese, connecting them to the broader canvas of the Cold War and postcolonial nation-building in East and Southeast Asia.

Mindfulness in Early Buddhism - Tse Fu (national Cheng Kung University Kuan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book identifies what is meant by sati ( smrti ), usually translated as ‘mindfulness’, in early Buddhism, and examines its soteriological functions and its central role in the early Buddhist practice and philosophy. Using textual analysis and criticism, it takes new approaches to the subject through a comparative study of Buddhist texts in Pali, Chinese and Sanskrit. It also furnishes new perspectives on the ancient teaching by applying the findings in modern psychology. In contemporary Buddhism, the practice of mindfulness is zealously advocated by the Theravada tradition, which is the only early Buddhist school that still exists today. Through detailed analysis of Theravada''s Pali Canon and the four Chinese Agamas - which correspond to the four main Nikayas in Pali and belong to some early schools that no longer exist - this book shows that mindfulness is not only limited to the role as a method of insight ( vipassana ) meditation, as presented by many Theravada advocates, but it also has a key role in serenity ( samatha ) meditation. It elucidates how mindfulness functions in the path to liberation from a psychological perspective, that is, how it helps to achieve an optimal cognitive capability and emotional state, and thereby enables one to attain the ultimate religious goal. Furthermore, the author argues that the well-known formula of ekaayano maggo , which is often interpreted as ‘the only way’, implies that the four satipa.t.thaanas (establishments of mindfulness) constitute a comprehensive path to liberation, and refer to the same as kaayagataa sati , which has long been understood as ‘mindfulness of the body’ by the tradition. The analysis shows that kaayagataa sati and the four satipa.t.thaanas are two different ways of formulating the teaching on mindfulness according to different schemes of classification of phenomena.

Coming Home to China - Yi Fu Tuan - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

In the summer of 2005, distinguished geographer Yi-Fu Tuan ventured to China to speak at an international architectural conference, returning for the first time to the place he had left as a child sixty-four years before. He traveled from Beijing to Shanghai, addressing college audiences, floating down the Yangtze River on a riverboat, and visiting his former home in Chongqing. In this enchanting volume, Tuan’s childhood memories and musings on the places encountered during this homecoming are interspersed with new lectures, engaging overarching principles of human geography as well as the changing Chinese landscape. Throughout, Tuan’s interactions with his hosts, with his colleague’s children, and even with a garrulous tour guide, offer insights into one who has spent his life studying place, culture, and self. At the beginning of his trip, Tuan wondered if he would be a stranger among people who looked like him. By its end, he reevaluates his own self-definition as a hyphenated American and sheds new light on human identity’s complex roots in history, geography, and language. Yi-Fu Tuan is author of Cosmos and Hearth, Dear Colleague, and Space and Place, all from Minnesota. He retired from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998.

Pattern Recognition and Machine Vision- In Honor and Memory of Late Prof. King-Sun Fu - - Bog - River Publishers - Plusbog.dk

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the fields of pattern recognition and machine vision in academia and industries. New theories have been developed, with new design of technology and systems in both hardware and software. They are widely applied to our daily life to solve real problems in such diverse areas as science, engineering, agriculture, e-commerce, education, robotics, government, medicine, games and animation, medical imaging analysis and diagnosis, military, and national security.The foundation of all this field can be traced back to the late Prof. King-Sun Fu, one of the founding fathers of pattern recognition, who, with visionary insight founded the International Association for Pattern Recognition around 1980. In the almost 30 years since then, the world has witnessed the rapid growth and development of this field. It is probably true to say that most people are affected by, or use applications of pattern recognition in daily life.Today, on the eve of 25th anniversary of the unfortunate and untimely passing of Prof. Fu, we are proud to produce this volume of collected works from world renowned professionals and experts in pattern recognition and machine vision, in honor and memory of the late Prof. King-Sun Fu. We hope this book will help promote further the course, not only of fundamental principles, systems and technologies, but also its vast range of applications to help in solving problems in daily life.ContentsBasic Foundations of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence, Methodologies of Machine Vision and Image Processing, Intelligent Pattern Recognition Systems, 3-D Object Pattern Analysis, Modelling and Simulation, Analysis of DNA Microarray Gene Expression Data based on Pattern Recognition Methods, PRMV Applications.

Transnational Connections - Ulf Hannerz - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This work provides an account of culture in an age of globalization. Ulf Hannerz argues that, in an ever-more interconnected world, national understandings of culture have become insufficient. He explores the implications of boundary-crossings and long-distance cultural flows for established notions of "the local", "community", "nation" and "modernity" Hannerz not only engages with theoretical debates about culture and globalization but raises issues of how we think and live today. His account of the experience of global culture encompasses a shouting match in a New York street about Salman Rushdie, a papal visit to the Maya Indians; kung-fu dancers in Nigeria and Rastafarians in Amsterdam; the nostalgia of foreign correspondents; and the surprising experiences of tourists in a world city or on a Borneo photo safari.

An Emerging Non-Regular Labour Force in Japan - Huiyan Fu - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Like many industrialised nations, the current employment trend in Japan centres on the diversification of the labour market with an increased use of temporary labour. Among a wide range of non-regular labour arrangements, haken , or ''dispatched workers'' are a newly legalised category of non-regular workers who are typically employed by the employment agency while working at the facilities of and being under the authority of the client firm. In recent years, their numbers have expanded exponentially under the state’s deregulation policy and assumed considerable symbolic significance in public debate, especially with regard to the nation’s ‘widening gaps’. Contrasting sharply with the Japanese post-war salarymen/women model haken generate internal cultural debate where ‘traditional’ and ‘global’, or ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ values are juxtaposed, contradicted, and negotiated. The debate between and among various interest groups and powerful actors in turn provides important clues to the constantly changing relationship of the individual to the state, to firms, to entrepreneurial opportunities, and to the wider world. Drawing on a range of ethnographic data and documented materials, the book seeks to bring a better understanding of personhood in Japan’s shifting landscape of employment. Huiyan Fu''s book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese business, organisational behaviour, employment relations and Japanese anthropology.
