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

(Editor) , Volume 2023, Number 3A, 2023(3A), March 2023; 40 pages, Lenox Institute Press, MA, USA. [email protected]; [email protected]. ...............ABSTRACT: This electronic book contains a collection of oil paintings that I did over the years on my connection with the world surrounding me and my understanding of the universe. My curiosity of the nature of the universe has been the main driving force for me to pursue physics in an attempt to understand what it is, how it was formed and where does it go. My perception of the universe evolved as I get older. In my grade school time, I thought the universe was flat. Later, I learned that the Earth was not the center of the universe. The Earth is one of the planets in the planetary system. Then you have Milky Way, Andromeda, etc. Later, I learned the Big Bang Theory and the concept of a finite universe. And more recently, the dark energy, dark matter, and the accelerated expansion of the universe. I also imagine the future of the universe based on my understanding of physics, including the concept of entropy...........KEYWORDS: Big Bang, expansion, dark matter, dark energy...........ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I thank Astrophysicist, Professor Chun Ming Leung and Cosmologist, Professor Ethan Brown for valuable discussions and suggestion

Reparative Reenactments : Ming Wongs "Lerne deutsch mit Petra von Kant" (2007) und Cana Bilir-Meiers "This makes me want to predict the past" (2019)
No full textIm Anschluss an eine queer-theoretische reparative Perspektive betrachte ich lustvolle Strategien des Überlebens in zwei Film- bzw. Videoarbeiten. Ming Wongs "Lerne deutsch mit Petra von Kant" (2007) und Cana Bilir-Meiers "This Makes Me Want to Predict the Past" (2019) erzeugen unvorhergesehene, lebenserhaltende und "transhistorische Beziehungen". Beide respektieren dabei die mediale Lücke im Zugriff auf die Vergangenheit
Yong Ming Marketing / Khairun Nisa Jumali
No full textI started my wonderful and enlightening six-month industrial training with Yong Ming Marketing, a plastic production business in Kuantan, Pahang. I was excited to use my knowledge and abilities in a practical situation as an Office Administration major. I made a point of highlighting the skills that would help me in the position of office administration intern on my resume while I was searching for an internship. I choose Yong Ming Marketing because it provided me with appropriate experience, but it also allowed me to work in another environment, away from my family, and with a friend who was also an intern at the same company. Following this choice helped in my professional and personal development. When I started there, I was put in charge of the office team and given a variety of administrative duties, including managing paperwork, filing, and helping walk-in clients. Through this training, I gained essential interpersonal and customer service skills that were useful while working with coworkers and customers alike. I was able to improve my organizational skills and multitasking efficiency in this work, which will help me in my future career. Similar to other businesses, Yong Ming Marketing analyses its position in the market using a SWOT analysis. The company’s key strength lies in its ability to offer attractive wage packages and ability to maintain strong and long-term client relationships. Employee satisfaction and the preservation of the company's reputation will result from doing this. For the weaknesses, it is a dependence on a small number of key clients and utilizing services from third parties. In order to address these issues, this business should concentrate on small and mediumsized customers and acquire its own fleet of vehicles and drivers. The opportunities that have in this company will increase economic growth on business and society also will will exposed employees to learning from various cultures. Other than that, the threat which is environmental sustainability issues and fierce competition in the sector. In this situation, the business should be aware of the danger to maintain a positive reputation. Last but not least, I had a great time working as an intern for this company since I got to know a lot of people who were willing to share their knowledge with me about the workplace
