Cultural Protectionism 2.0 : Updating Cultural Policy Tools for the Digital Age
No full textThis chapter explores cultural protectionism 2.0, i.e. the normative dimensions of cultural diversity policies in the global digital space, asking what adjustments are needed and in fact, how feasible the entire project of diversity regulation in this environment may be. The complexities of the shift from offline to online and from analogue to digital, and the inherent policy challenges are illustrated with some (positive and negative) instances of existing media initiatives. Taking into account the specificities of cyberspace and in a forward-looking manner, the chapter suggests some adjustments to current media policy practices in order to better serve the goal of sustainably diverse cultural environment
Appropriations of Irish drama by modern Korean nationalist theatre : a focus on the influence of Sean O’Casey in a colonial context
Get PDFMy thesis explores how a translated author on the periphery of the host culture’s
translated repertoire can be at once subversive and innovative on the colonial scene,
using as an example the case of Sean O’Casey in colonial Korea. It explores the
importation of Irish drama in modern Korean theatre during the colonial period and
examines the appropriations of O’Casey’s plays by a central Korean playwright, Yu
Chi-jin, in creating his own plays. Under Japanese colonial rule in the early twentieth
century, intellectuals perceived the supreme task for the Korean people to be the
recovery of national sovereignty and independence. The modern Korean theatre
movement which rose among Korean intellectuals and dramatists during the colonial
period was to play a major part in this task. The ultimate goal of this movement was
to establish a modern national theatre promoting Korean culture and educating the
people, thereby recovering national independence. As their modernised dramatic
polysystem was still "young", Korean intellectuals and dramatists who were
involved in the theatre movement had to borrow dramatic models from other
countries. One of the models they chose was Irish playwrights, especially those who
were involved in the Irish dramatic movement. They published or staged the works
of W.B. Yeats, Lord Dunsany [Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett], Augusta
Gregory, J.M. Synge, St. J. Ervine, T.C. Murray and Sean O'Casey. Although
O'Casey was considered an important dramatist in the Irish dramatic movement, he
was a playwright on the periphery in the list of translated Irish dramatists in Korea
due to the colonisers’ censorship. However, he remained as a subversive and
innovative playwright on the colonial scene by virtue of being appropriated by Yu
Chi-jin who used O’Casey’s plays as models when creating his own works. In
discussing the subject matter of my thesis, I use Even Zohar’s polysystems theory as
a starting point in looking at ideological issues surrounding translation and extend
the discussion to offer a postcolonial perspective. While most translation in a
colonial context was considered as "an expression of the cultural power of the
colonisers," my thesis shifts the focus to translation as an expression of the cultural
power of the colonised. I explore how the colonised uses another colonised culture to
subvert the colonisers’ power
TRIPs: A Link Too Far? A Proposal for Procedural Restraints on Regulatory Linkage in the WTO
Get PDFIn dramatically expanding the reach of international intellectual property law, the TRIPs Agreement both epitomizes a new trend toward globalized regulation and signaled a controversial shift in approach by the WTO away from its narrow focus on trade. Equally controversial was the manner in which TRIPs came about. By strategically linking intellectual property protection to substantively unrelated trade negotiations, developed countries were able to push through a much more ambitious harmonization of IP law than would otherwise have been possible. Such package dealing making offers a powerful mechanism to advance global governance. However, unrestricted use of linkage strategies risks suboptimal outcomes ranging from regulatory capture to procedural paralysis. This Article critically examines the TRIPs Agreement as a case study to evaluate such competing views on linkage. It concludes by suggesting procedural safeguards to channel the use of linkage strategies towards enhancing global welfare

Learning theories and interprofessional education: a user's guide
Get PDFThere is increasing interest in the theoretical underpinning of interprofessional education (IPE) and writers in this field are drawing on a wide range of disciplines for theories that have utility in IPE. While this has undoubtedly enriched the research literature, for the educational practitioner, whose aim is to develop and deliver an IPE curriculum that has sound theoretical underpinnings, this plethora of theories has become a confusing, and un-navigable quagmire. This article aims to provide a compass for those educational practitioners by presenting a framework that summarizes key learning theories used in IPE and the relationship between them. The study reviews key contemporary learning theories from the wider field of education used in IPE and the explicit applications of these theories in the IPE literature to either curriculum design or programme evaluation. Through presenting a broad overview and summary framework, the study clarifies the way in which learning theories can aid IPE curriculum development and evaluation. It also highlights areas where future theoretical development in the IPE field is required
Strictness and Subsidiarity: An Institutional Perspective on Affirmative Action at the European Court of Justice
Get PDFThe move to strict review of gender equality cases by the European Court of Justice raises questions regarding the institutional role of the Court. Comparisons between the ECJ\u27s affirmative action case law and US jurisprudence serve to illuminate the very different role played by the ECJ as the central arbiter of a supranational judiciary. In its readiness to decide contextual issues better left to the national courts, the European Court has taken an American approach to affirmative action out of keeping with its role. Closer attention to the dynamics of the Court\u27s partnership with national judiciaries would serve as a step toward a functional conception of judicial subsidiarity

Get PDFFulfilling children's rights is an activity to guarantee the needs of life, protect and give children what they should get, namely the right to live, grow and develop, be cared for and cared for by their own parents. Therefore, every child has the right to have the same rights in front of their parents, there is no discrimination or discrimination.

This type of thesis research uses normative legal research with a qualitative approach method, while the research method used is literature study.(library research)with data collection techniques using secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. That the author found in the trial several factors that caused custody of the child to fall to the biological father. The results of this research consist of several factors, namely that the child's mother left her child more than 1 year ago, the mother is currently living with another man and already has a child with that man, while the child's mother has not divorced from the child's father, and all this time the child has been in his father's care. So the panel of judges considers that it is in the interests of the child that the child's education and morals will be better maintained if he remains with his father. Here the author agrees with the judge's decision which states that custody of the child falls to the father. To strengthen the quality and capacity as well as the integrity of families with children, the government is obliged to provide services and training for parents and children
Beyond Culture vs. Commerce: Decentralizing Cultural Protection to Promote Diversity through Trade
Get PDFFor the past three decades, culture defenders and free traders have fought a pitched battle over global regulation of audiovisual industries, a collision of seemingly incompatible worldviews whose destructive repercussions policy-makers and scholars have struggled to contain. The battle has played out at multiple levels of international trade law, investment treaties, and UNESCO conventions. Now, the culture-trade war threatens to engulf e-commerce. Fortunately, there is a better way. The extraordinary flowering of Korean popular culture in recent decades—commonly known as the Korean Wave —can be traced directly to a set of decentralized policies enacted by South Korea\u27s government in the 1990s. This Article argues that cultural protection should be fundamentally reconceived based on Korea\u27s example. In place of the European state patronage model that predominates today, the Article advocates an alternative approach that embraces globalization and seeks to expand markets (rather than supplant them) using decentralized, non-discriminatory tools. Adopting a diversity through trade model would more effectively advance the goals of cultural protection and avoid the need for further distortions of international trade law and free speech
