The West China Union University Museum of Art, Archaeology and Ethnology: a global museum on China’s borderlands in the early 20th century
No full textThis paper examines the role played by the West China Union University Museum of Art, Archaeology and Ethnology in shaping notions of provincial and global modernity in Sichuan province. Despite its seemingly isolated location this paper argues that the West China Museum was in fact at the forefront of global efforts surrounding the development of museums which sought to advance research and education for citizens of both China and the world. Not only did its unique geographical location on the Chinese borderlands warrant such a position allowing for a multi-ethnic encounter in the provincial narratives it presented to the world. The museum’s Christian missionary background along with the important role played by its curators, David Crocket Graham and Zheng Dekun, was also crucial for the development of a series of important transnational networks that strengthened the museum’s mission and scope throughout this period
Creating a ‘new Yi’ for the Chinese nation. Rethinking modernity and the Yi during the republican period
No full textThis paper proposes to re-examine the relationship of the Yi people of southwest China with the many aspects of modernity that began to imbricate China’s southwest borderlands during the Republican period (1912-1949). This repertoire of Chinese Republican modernity which emphasized anti-imperialism, ethnic equality, modern education and warfare among others were key elements in the shaping of a modern Yi identity among a young elite that was brought into the Guomindang orbit. This paper in particular focuses on the career of a young Yi tusi, Ling Guangdian, who was trained under the Guomindang and then served in the Liangshan region. Ling’s career and actions during this period evidenced the ways in which ethnic minorities in China could use these discursive elements of modernity for the benefit of their own people conceived as a nation (minzu) albeit within the confines of the Chinese nation-state.<br/

No full textBuilding the nation, serving the frontier: mobilising and reconstructing China’s borderlands during the war of resistance (1937-1945)
No full textThe wartime period between 1937 and 1945 provided an exceptional opportunity for the Guomindang state to experiment with a wide array of schemes that sought to further its nation-state project in the borderland regions of China. Under the rubric of ‘frontier reconstruction’ (bianjiang jianshe) it devised a series of plans that encompassed both the economic and cultural transformations of these regions. This paper discusses a particular scheme devised by Chinese anthropologist, Li Anzhai (1900–1985), during his stay at the Tibetan Buddhist monastery of Labrang where he sought to transform borderland societies into a modern Chinese citizenry. A key aspect to his strategy was the mobilization of youth where trained cadres and students performed what became known as ‘frontier service’ (bianjiang fuwu) establishing a dialogue with the community’s own particular demands by means of building schools, hospitals and agricultural projects. This paper argues that the notion of ‘frontier service’ and the ‘cultural reconstruction’ project propounded by Li not only sought to modernize and unify China around a distinct multicultural identity, it was also an important mobilizing force amongst sectors of wartime youth which arguably introduced young Han Chinese to a region which they had hitherto only imagined in the pre-war perio

Desarrollo de un prototipo para el monitoreo de las variables involucradas en el cultivo de fresas en el corregimiento de Obonuco
Full text linkLas malas prácticas agrícolas afectan la sostenibilidad del suelo y la calidad de los cultivos, generando impactos negativos en el ambiente y la salud humana. Ante esta situación, los cultivos en ambientes controlados y tecnologías como las Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas, la agricultura de precisión y los sistemas bajo invernadero ofrecen soluciones sostenibles y eficientes, mejorando la productividad y reduciendo el uso de insumos químicos. En Nariño, la adopción de estas innovaciones es clave para aumentar la competitividad agrícola, especialmente en el cultivo de fresa, un producto con alto potencial en mercados nacionales e internacionales. Este proyecto propone la implementación de un sistema de monitoreo en ambiente controlado en Obonuco, Nariño, para optimizar las condiciones de producción, mejorar la calidad del fruto y promover una agricultura más rentable y sostenible en la región

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
