Hallyu Through the Grassroots: Experiences of Kugak in Europe and Beyond
No full textAs the popular culture-driven "Korean Wave" (Hallyu) continues to gain attention worldwide, many attempts have been made to incorporate various other aspects of Korean culture within it, including traditional Korean music (kugak). Thus far, most top-down cultural policy has continued to focus on the initial contact with kugak rather than encouraging more in-depth engagement. However, local grassroots efforts have begun to develop into dedicated aficionado groups, who are not only expert listeners but also beginning to foray into performance. Addressing the case studies of the Francophone p'ansori (sung storytelling) scene and the K-Community Festival, I explore the potential for the kind of in-depth engagement seen at the grassroots level to also be employed on the cultural policy level.N

Understanding Women's Magazines Publishing, Markets and Readerships in Late-Twentieth Century Britain
No full textUnderstanding Women's Magazines investigates the changing landscape of women's magazines. Anna Gough-Yates focuses on the successes, failures and shifting fortunes of a number of magazines including Elle, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Frank, New Woman and Red and considers the dramatic developments that have taken place in women's magazine publishing in the last two decades. Understanding Women's Magazines examines the transformation in the production, advertising and marketing practices of women's magazines. Arguing that these changes were driven by political and economic shifts, commercial cultures and the need to get closer to the reader, the book shows how this has led to an increased focus on consumer lifestyles and attempts by publishers to identify and target a 'new woman'.Intro -- UNDERSTANDING WOMEN'S MAGAZINES -- CONTENTS -- FIGURES -- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- INTRODUCTION -- 1 UNDERSTANDING WOMEN'S MAGAZINES -- 2 POST-FORDISM, POST-FEMINISM AND THE 'NEW WOMAN' IN LATE TWENTIETH-CENTURY BRITAIN -- 3 THE EMPIRES STRIKE BACK -- 4 WHO'S THAT GIRL? -- 5 SERIOUSLY GLAMOROUS OR GLAMOROUSLY SERIOUS? -- 6 'WHAT WOMEN WANT UNDER THE COVERS' -- 7 'MARIE CLAIRE - C'EST MOI!' -- 8 DESPERATELY TWEAKING SUSAN -- CONCLUSIONS -- NOTES -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEXUnderstanding Women's Magazines investigates the changing landscape of women's magazines.

Ecuaciones para el dimensionamiento de yates
No full textEste proyecto parte de la necesidad, como ingeniera naval, de facilitar el trabajo a la hora de diseñar un buque de recreo. Hasta ahora, para llevar a cabo esta tarea, era necesario realizar una búsqueda exhaustiva y laboriosa de buques con las mismas características que el buque a diseñar. Esta parte del proyecto es imprescindible para poder obtener un dimensionamiento preliminar del buque. el objetivo principal de este proyecto es encontrar unas ecuaciones que permitan obtener las dimensiones principales de un yate, partiendo de la eslora, sin necesidad de tener que realizar un estudio estadístico de yates similares. Para conseguirlo, el primer paso ha sido recoger datos de un total de 2676 yates existentes en una base de datos de alcance mundial. A continuación, se ha analizado esta base de datos para eliminar datos erróneos y filtrar los yates según categorías, para poder ajustar las ecuaciones finales a un tipo concreto de yates y a un rango específico de esloras. Una vez realizado este estudio estadístico se han obtenido unas relaciones de diseño preliminar exitosas para yates de más de 24 metros de eslora
