Labour, life, and language: personhood and relations among the Yami of Lanyu
No full textThis thesis discusses the concepts of labour, life, and language among the Yami
of Lanyu, Taiwan. In the local context, it is labour, life and language that comprise the
concept of personhood among the Yami: tao, i.e. the ‘person’ in Yami language, is
someone created labouring, and his labour in turn creates affluence, authority, and
truth. I name this culturally particular image of a real or true person as Homo laboris
or ‘Man the Worker’. This thesis aims to explore how labour, wealth, power, and
knowledge are interrelated in Yami culture, and behind these relations, what material,
social and epistemological conditions exist and render the relatedness possible. By
analysing the contemporary economic predicament among the Yami, I attempt to
highlight the effect of an episteme: when the Yami recognise and pursue wealth in the
context of market economy they seem to be blind to the enormous invisible wealth in
the market, because their category of wealth is constructed through numerous
vis-à-vis relationships whose meaning resides in what a particular person is able to
‘see’.
The concept of wealth is being re-categorised among the Yami, due to both their
continuous trial and error in business management and the invincible power of
abstract money. Accordingly, the straightforward relations between wealth, power,
knowledge and labour are dissolving. The image of a real person is also changing now.
In short, what money and commodities introduce to the Yami is not merely their use-
or exchange- value but a set of new relations and a new way to see and recognise the
world

KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA: STYLE YAMI KAWAII DAN KESEHATAN MENTAL
No full textI speak through my clothes, at this time the function of today’s fashion is not only as a cover of the body for the sake of modesty, but as a way of communicating. Fashion communication can be conveyed through clothing, costumes, and make-up which associated with the latest issues, such as mental health. WHO revealed that 450 million people in the world had suffer from mental disorders, and more than 150 million people have experience depression. Yami Kawaii is a fashion style that represents a depressive style of clothing with a cute touch. The Yami Kawaii fashion users trying to communicate to others about how they suffer from psychological or mental disorders by combining visual elements such as injection, bandages, pills, plasters and tools that are often used for suicide, such as weapons and ropes combined into a pastel dress with a heart motif, and some writing in a beautiful font, as part of kawaii. This research uses Roland Barthes' semiotic theory approach in shaping the meaning of denotation, connotation, and myth. This study aims to examine the relationship between visual elements in the Yami Kawaii style in forming meanings related to mental health. This study uses text analysis using 5 styles of Yami Kawaii looks from head-to-toe style and then examined using elements of fashion with six (6) elements of fashion, including: (1) Silhouettes, (2) Lines, (3) Details, (4) Fabric, (5) Motif, (6) Colors in clothing (apparel) and fashion accessories. The results of this study indicate that there are denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings of the Yami Kawaii Style which are related to mental health issues
Variations on the Author
No full text“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

Author-reader relationship at the site of the work
No full textWithin the format of a critical exegesis and four original works of extended prose fiction, this thesis explores the interaction between the author and reader and argues that literary meaning is the outcome of shifts of power between these two entities. It concludes that because these shifts in power are orchestrated by the author, the author is relevant to understanding how meaning is produced
