The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
No full textThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour

This paper uses the perspective of theoretical analysis to explore the Dharma-protecting deities and the Buddhist idea of protecting the nation in the Jin Guang Ming Jing.The author attempts to explore the main points of each chapter from the translations of the Jin Guang Ming Jing. This study also explores the Dharma-protecting deities in the Jin Guang Ming Jing; benefits of their practice of the Buddhist path and their protection of sentient beings; and even explores the merits of the Dharma-protecting deities in the Jin Guang Ming Jing in protecting the nation and its people. In the face of the current global pandemic, the author also attempts to explore from the teachings of the Jin Guang Ming Jing the way for human beings to eliminate the pandemic through self-awareness, thus realizing the Jin Guang Ming Jing concern for contemporary society

A Narrative Inquiry into the Perceptions of Counseling Faculty Regarding the Use of Humor in Clinical Supervision
No full textCheung, Ryan Cheuk Ming. A narrative inquiry into the perceptions of counseling faculty regarding the use of humor in clinical supervision. Published Doctor of Philosophy dissertation, University of Northern Colorado, 2024. Students in counselor preparation programs are required to be clinically supervised by faculty when working with clients. Considering how to help supervisees and positively affect supervision outcomes, one method could be the use of humor by counseling supervisors. Research in the area of humor in counseling supervision is largely missing (Dantzler, 2017; Vereen et al., 2006). A key task in supervision is building a strong working alliance (Bordin, 1983) which includes the development of an affective bond. Humor is a social strategy used to form emotional bonds (Erozkan, 2009), and the bond component of the working alliance is influenced by different personal characteristics such as emotional intelligence, which is related to humor (Gignac et al., 2014). The present study explored counseling faculty perceptions of using humor in clinical supervision. More information is needed to determine the utility of humor in the supervision setting because it is important to understand what the perspectives clinical supervisors have regarding the goals, intentions, and uses of humor to examine the perceived benefits or drawbacks of humor in clinical supervision, and if humor should be included in clinical supervision to enhance the experience. The research questions included the following. What perspectives do counseling faculty have of using humor in clinical supervision? and What are the perceived impacts counseling faculty perceive from the use of humor in supervision? This qualitative study was grounded in narrative inquiry as people use stories to explain and make sense of experiences. A semi-structured interview and extended member check were conducted to collect data from each participant. Eight participants shared their individual perceptions of the use of humor in clinical supervision and the common main themes were: Describing, when people defined what humor was, described the types of humor used, or explained what humor is to them, Implementing, when people discussed incidents of humor that went well or not so well and what they learned in addition to precautions they take when using humor, Impact, when people described how they perceive their humor impacted supervisees, and Context, when people discussed how their humor has changed. Participants reported similar perceptions regarding the use of and impact of humor in clinical supervision. If humor is used intentionally and supervisors are attuned to their supervisees, it generally is perceived to have a positive impact. Many types of humor appear to be effective and taking a developmental and contextual approach is important. The present study was the start of the conversation about what humor looks like in clinical supervision and allows readers to understand the potential benefits and drawbacks that exist for both supervisors and supervisees, from the perspective of the clinical supervisors interviewed. Future research ideas that emerged from the present study include learning if collective humor exists where there is no risk of offending anyone, seeing if humor has the long-term effect of supervisees staying in contact, and a longitudinal study with the same group of participants to explore how humor relates to the experience of burnout. One study that could be done includes learning about the type of humor used based on the level of rapport. Another study could consider when supervisors got trained and how it has an impact on their perspectives of humor
