Famous Theme Research Articles

테마파크 도입에 따른 지역 상권 활성화 및 도시재생 정책 제언

Purpose: This research aims to analyze the policy direction required for establishing a theme park city and the governance implications for utilizing tourism resources and developing tourism from the perspective of revitalizing local marketplaces and urban regeneration. The ultimate goal is to formulate strategic tasks related to the local marketplace and urban regeneration of the original downtown area by implementing the theme park Legoland in Chuncheon.
 Methods: It investigated cases of famous tourist attractions where theme parks implemented, and explored policy issues related to the revitalization of local marketplaces and urban regeneration following implementing the Legoland in Chuncheon. The criteria for the selection of theme park city cases were selected to meet the accessibility of the environment and space in the region, geographical interaction with local marketplaces and oldtown, tourism-related activity and convenience, stability and functionality. And it was also targeted at representative theme parks that have elements such as theme, extraordinary, aesthetics, and synthesis.
 Results: Based on the case of famous theme park city, the following five policy issues were presented. The proposed policy issues include the establishment of a regional governance system, a strategy to revitalize the oldtown, a specialized strategy for local marketplaces, the establishment of an urban regeneration circulation system, and the promotion of urban regeneration in connection with local marketplaces.
 Conclusion: This study discovered policy issues for the revitalization of local marketplaces. The five main issues of this study are theme parks, which provide implications for contributing to revitalizing local tourism, urban regeneration and creating regional tourism policies.

The Unquiet Englishman: A Life of Graham Greene by Richard Greene

Reviewed by: The Unquiet Englishman: A Life of Graham Greene by Richard Greene Jake Grefenstette The Unquiet Englishman: A Life of Graham Greene BY RICHARD GREENE New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 2021. Paperback: $20.00. xvi + 591 pages. ISBN: 9781324020264. Richard Greene’s The Unquiet Englishman: A Life of Graham Greene is a welcome addition to a recent surge in Greene scholarship—a surge made possible in large part by the biographer’s own prior research into his subject’s life and letters. I first read and enjoyed Richard Greene’s Graham Greene: A Life in Letters (Abacus, 2008) in 2015 for an undergraduate tutorial, which was set (appropriately enough) in the chaplain’s rooms at Oriel College, Oxford. After the tutorial, I recommended Richard Greene’s scholarship to friends both inside and outside the academy. I would do so (and indeed have done) again with this follow-up text, which offers a more narrative-driven and comprehensive account of Greene’s varied literary, romantic, and spiritual life. Two passages in The Unquiet Englishman will be of special interest to Newman scholars. The first comprises a nuanced interpretation of Graham Greene’s recurrent and challenging self-description as “not a Catholic writer but a writer who happens to be Catholic” (105). This formulation, which has just as often been understood as an ironic affirmation as it has a dismissal of (or even abdication from) his Catholic faith, is read by the biographer in light of Greene’s (equally recurrent, and equally challenging) appeals to The Idea of a University. Richard Greene points us to this seminal passage, which Graham would “trot out” ostensibly in order “to shut down discussion of the Catholic content of his work”: I say, from the nature of the case, if Literature is to be made a study of human nature, you cannot have a Christian Literature. It is a contradiction in terms to attempt a sinless literature of sinful man. You may gather something very great and very high, something higher than any Literature ever was; and when you have done so, you will find that it is not Literature at all (105).1 [End Page 83] The biographer here raises a classic problem: by framing himself in negative terms as “not a Catholic writer,” and by invoking Newman’s line (perilously out of context) that one “cannot have a Christian Literature,” has Graham Greene—wittingly or unwittingly—subordinated his Christianity to his craft? Richard Greene’s initial response to this problem is to endorse Ian Ker’s thesis: Graham Greene “has badly misread Newman”—for, properly understood, “Newman was merely arguing against the notion that one could study Catholic writers and exclude pagans” (105–106).2 But in the discussion that follows, Richard Greene admits a deeper sense of irony (and, by extension, understanding of Newman) than is usually allowed.3 Drawing on his (probably unparalleled) knowledge of the development of Greene’s thought and faith, the biographer locates this claim in a period of his life in which “Greene himself was explicitly struggling with the problem of how a Catholic sense of the soul and of providence altered the craft of fiction” (106). “Providence” is the key word here. Catholicism, for Graham Greene, is not merely a jersey that one sports; it is a totalizing description of the universe. To claim that he is “not a Catholic writer but a writer who happens to be Catholic” is only to ironize, since the nature of providence (as Graham understands it) is such that it extends to every corner of facticity and fiction.4 Such a view is intended to dismantle any clean distinction between “Christian” and “secular” writing. And indeed, this is the very theological drive underpinning Greene’s famous themes of grace and mercy, themes afforded often to his most helpless and hapless protagonists. Richard Greene’s key insight, I take it, is this: that “Greene’s sense of craft” is something finally “shaped by his faith—the faith and the craft are not separate” (106). The second passage for our consideration represents a remarkable development of Richard Greene’s own understanding of the Newman-Greene relationship. In his earlier Life in...

Simplified Markovian-based pavement management model for sustainable long-term rehabilitation planning

A simplified pavement management model for developing a long-term rehabilitation schedule is proposed for flexible pavement. The model deploys the discrete-time Markov model to predict the deterioration of both original and rehabilitated pavement performances. The main objective of the proposed model is to generate optimal annual rehabilitation cycles over a specified analysis period. This objective is achieved by optimising a cost-effectiveness index defined as the ratio of anticipated performance improvement and annual rehabilitation cost. It therefore seeks to find the optimal annual rehabilitation cycle that maximises pavement condition improvement and minimises rehabilitation cost. The corresponding optimum model is subject to a number of constraints that include the non-negativity constraints, upper-limit variable value constraints, and budget constraints. However, the rehabilitation variables are incorporated into the state probabilities rather than the transition matrix when predicting future deterioration of rehabilitated pavement. The optimum model can simply be solved using an exhaustive search approach as it makes use of a limited number of rehabilitation variables. Two case studies are presented to demonstrate the potential uses of the proposed model. The first one examined the relationship between variable budget levels and sustainable long-term pavement performances, whereas the second one investigated the long-term cost-effectiveness of individual rehabilitation treatments. Generally, the sample results re-emphasised the famous theme of ‘better roads at lower costs’.

Musical quotation in Richardson/Morlock’s Perruqueries (2013): humour as a vehicle for social commentary

Quotation, one of the most common types of borrowing, has a rich history in the western art music tradition. Composers often cite other musical works as a creative tool, resulting in intertextual relationships between two pieces. The six songs of Perruqueries (2013) for soprano, baritone, and piano, with lyrics by Bill Richardson (b. 1955) and music by Jocelyn Morlock (b. 1969), focus on wigs and people’s obsession with them. Richardson either draws from real or fictional characters to write witty lyrics about wigs, while Morlock cleverly quotes well-known music of the past, recasting famous themes in humorous contexts. Drawing on Metzer’s work on quotation as a cultural agent (2003), I argue that Richardson’s lyrics and Morlock’s setting invite the listener to engage with current discourses on the role of physical appearance in our society through humour.

Cosmic Mathematics, Human Erōs: A Comparison of Plato’s Timaeus and Symposium

In her 2014 monograph, Sarah Broadie argues that Timaeus’s cosmology points to a radical Platonic insight: the full rationality of the cosmos requires the existence of individualized, autonomous, and finite beings like us. Only human life makes the cosmos truly complete. But can Timaeus do full justice to the uniquely human way of being and hence to his own insight? My paper argues that he cannot and that Plato means for us to see that he cannot, by showing how Timaeus treats a famous Platonic theme: eros. Timaeus describes human perfection as assimilation to the mathematical proportions of the cosmos, but by comparing Timaeus with the Symposium I show that, given his deeply mathematized conception of reason, Timaeus cannot provide what Diotima can: a phenomenologically satisfactory account of how we come to identify ourselves with this perfection. Such identification is a transformation in our self-understanding explicable only because of the desirous and reflexive character of the soul. Expressing this character, however, requires combining the mathematical with a poetic, or even mantic, register. Only these sensibilities together grant access to Plato’s cosmology in its fullness.

Evidence Relating to the Christian Missions in the Trans-Urals and Northwestern Siberia (8th to 16th centuries)

This study addresses the possible activity of early Christian missions among the Vogul (Mansi) of the Urals, Trans-Urals, and northwestern Siberia between the 8th–16th centuries. Three stages in their history are described. The fi rst (700–1000 AD) was marked by the import of southwestern Central Asian silver dishes (diskoi) reproducing biblical themes and Christian symbols. Specimens from Grigorovskoye, Anikovskoye, and from the Malaya Ob had been cast in Nestorian communities of Semirechye. The imported diskoi gave rise to the tradition of offering food to deities on metal dishes. The second stage (1200–1400 AD) began when silver plaques depicting the famous theme of icon painting (“The feat of the Martyr Demetrius of Solun defeating King Kaloyan of Bulgaria”) had been imported to the region. The third stage (15th and 16th centuries) correlates with the Russian expansion to Siberia and attempts to baptize the natives. At the ceremony, baptismal symbols such as tin plaques were given to the neophytes. Apparently, most plaques represent the biblical King David and were manufactured by Russians in the late 1400s to early 1500s. In the 16th century, plaques with the fi gure of St. George appeared in Siberia. The analysis of items showing biblical and hagiographical characters and of their distribution in northwestern Siberia suggests that Christian missions were unable to oust paganism from the region. Russian religious items were used in native rituals mostly if they represented horsemen, because these seemed to allude to the son of the Ob Ugric supreme deity Mir-Susne-Khum, also depicted as a horseman.

The minor Cronenberg

Cronenberg’s minor films – those that defy, exceed, or otherwise work outside the director’s famous themes and spectacles – emphasize a signature detachment or dispassion, one that is also operant in his most popular films. This detachment invites one to read his films as what Deleuze and Guattari would call minor cinema, a sociopolitical hermeneutic alternative to auteurism. Deleuze and Guattari explain that ‘a minor literature doesn’t come from a minor language; it is rather that which a minority constructs within a major language’, including that which an English Canadian filmmaker constructs in the shadow of the Hollywood tradition. Minor cinema is always political, even and especially when it addresses the individual and the personal, and it is collective, in that its films ‘express another possible community and forge the means for another consciousness and another sensibility’. Focusing on the staid cinematography and impassive protagonists of two of Cronenberg’s less studied works – Fast Company (1979) and Cosmopolis (2012) – I argue that the revolutionary potential of minor cinema unites his otherwise heterogeneous oeuvre.

Mitos dan Budaya

This article describes the role of myth and some universal themes of myth, such as the creation of the world, a huge flood, death, and the end of the world. Almost all the world's myths concern this universal themes, as seen from the similarity of some of the myths followed by many cultures in the world. These myths have primary functions to human’s behavior and attitude because people keep telling almost the same myths to their predecessors. The goals for this research are (1) knowing the functions of myths with famous themes from various culture and (2) knowing the background and relationship between myths and modern culture. The result describes the relationship between the cultural myths, where the core of the story is the truth of humanity. In addition, myth acts as a template to organize their daily activities as well as human activity, but it also serves to introduce human to a greater power in the universe. The values in each story will be interpreted as rules and customs that must be met, and this has resulted in the emergence of a culture passed down from generation to generation.

Technology-Enhanced Physics Programme for Community-Based Science Learning: Innovative Design and Programme Evaluation in a Theme Park

In this study, a new physics education programme is specifically developed for a famous theme park in Hong Kong to provide community-based science learning to her visitors, involving her three newly constructed rides. We make innovative use of digital technologies in this programme and incorporate a rigorous evaluation of the learning effectiveness of the programme. A total of around 200 students from nine local secondary schools participated in both the physics programme and its subsequent evaluation which consists of a combination of research and assessment tools, including pre- and post-multiple-choice tests, a questionnaire survey and an interview as specifically developed for this programme, or adopted from some well-accepted research instruments. Based on the evaluation of students’ academic performance, there are two educationally significant findings on enhancing the students’ physics learning: (a) traditionally large gender differences in physics performance and interest of learning are mostly eliminated; and (b) a less-exciting ride called the aviator (instead of the most exciting roller-coaster ride) can induce the largest learning effect (or gain in academic performance) amongst teenagers. Besides, findings from the questionnaire survey and interviews of participants are reported to reveal their views, perceptions, positive and negative comments or feedback on this programme which could provide valuable insights for future development of other similar community-based programmes.

Verbatim repetition and musical engagement.

The topics of musical similarity and variation have received considerable attention both from a psychological perspective (Deliege, 2007) and from a musicological perspective (Sisman, 1993; Zbikowski, 2002). Less well studied has been its correlate, exact repetition. A recent book (Margulis, 2013a) attempts to remedy that oversight, synthesizing work from a number of fields to outline a theory about the enduring appeal of musical repetition. Recent empirical work has suggested that repetition can shift listeners' attention to higher-level attributes of the musical stimulus (Margulis, 2012) and elicit more enjoyment from listeners and higher ratings of intentional artistry (Margulis, 2013b).An interesting borderline case between the poles of repetition and variation is performer nuance. Even when the notation is identical among different iterations of a principal theme, performers often change expressive inflections, altering dynamics and microtiming on each rendition. For example, the famous theme in Chopin's Polonaise in A major, Op. 40/1 recurs several times across the course of the piece. Pianists make many nuanced changes from rendition to rendition. For example, a pianist can withhold volume during the penultimate rendition to make the unleashing of maximal volume during the final rendition even more impressive.A skeptic might inquire whether these differences are intentional; perhaps performers simply lack the cognitive or motor control to execute sequences with a high degree of expressive fidelity. Gabrielsson (1987) examined pianists' expressive timing as they performed the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata in A, K. 331. Figure 1 captures the percentage deviation from notated durational values in performances by two pianists of the theme on its first statement (solid line) and then on its subsequent repeat (dotted line). The dotted line cleaves closely to the solid line for both pianists; their second performance of the theme was quite expressively faithful to their first. Shaffer (1984) also provides evidence that performers are capable of reproducing expressive elements. That study measured expressive timing characteristics during two performances of a Chopin Etude recorded two years apart by the same pianist. The second performance replicated the first in remarkable detail.Performers are able to replicate expressive inflections from one performance to another, so it seems likely that the deviations they make are expressively intentional. The question of what motivates these expressive choices is a fascinating topic of ongoing research (cf. Juslin & Timmers, 2010). An associated issue is the effect of these replications and deviations on listeners. Are they able explicitly or implicitly to register changes in performer nuance across renditions? How much deviation is required before a listener registers it? Do they prefer performances where repetitions are mostly exact, or performances where subtle variations have been introduced? What are the consequences of exact versus varied repetition for other aspects of musical listening and attention?Repetition, unsurprisingly, tends to enhance memory for melodies. Deutsch (1979) tested people's memory for a short atonal melody after it had been presented in one of several ways: a single time, repeated such that the second statement was an exact repetition of the first, or repeated such that the second statement involved an octave transposition. Performance on the memory task was best when the participants had heard the melody repeated exactly, but even a transposed repetition improved performance better than did a single presentation. Gardiner, Kaminska, Dixon, and Java (1996) showed that repetition increased both remember and know responses for music in an unfamiliar style, and remember but not know responses for music in a familiar style.Studies have shown that memory for the verbatim aspects of speech-the exact words and sounds used to convey the thoughts- decays rapidly and is replaced by memory for the gist, the basic content of the utterance (Gernsbacher, 1985; Reyna & Brainerd, 1995). …

Night-Time Highway Construction or Maintenance/Upgrading Works: An Analysis

This paper presents the analysis of interview sessions conducted with the general objective of studying night-time highway construction or maintenance/upgrading works. This includes any work; construction, maintenance or upgrading, that involves the closure of highway lanes and traffic mitigation. Such works might be disadvantageous to be conducted during daytime, thus requiring them to be conducted at night. Data were collected by conducting interviews to relevant industry players with the objective of identifying reasons for such works to be conducted at night. The answers obtained were the gathered and the most famous themes are selected.

Hermetyczna wizja zbawienia. Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447–1500) na tle kultury włoskiego odrodzenia

The Hermetic View of Salvation. Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447–1500) on the Background of the Culture of the Italian Renaissance The paper presents the doctrine and the views of the great Renaissance hermeticist, Lodovico Lazzarelli. Initially discussed is the relationship which bound him to his teacher and guide, Mercurio da Correggio, as described by Lazzarelli in his Epistola Enoch. Next, the paper looks at the nature and origins of hermetism, the definition of the term “hermetic” and the ongoing discussion around it. The history of the reception of Hermetica in the Renaissance and the place of Lodovico Lazzarelli within it are reconstructed in the latter half of the first part of the paper. The second part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of the main work of Lazzarelli, Crater Hermetis . The main theme of the treatise is the hermetic way of salvation. This way consists of the following stages: the knowledge of God, the knowledge of self and its own divine nature, purifying contemplation, the transforming love of God, and finally, the creation of God (the famous theme from Asclepius ). The article ends with a discussion of Lazzarelli’s attempts to reconcile his doctrine with Christian orthodoxy.

Reading Haiku poems in English with special emphasis on personal pronouns

When reading haiku poems in English, the knowledge that surface subjects (and personal pronouns) are not obligatory in Japanese is indispensable for interpretation. Considering the geographical and temporal distribution of the overt grammatical subjects, it is suggested that the emergence of the concept of ‘ego’ in Western Europe may have something to do with the appearance of the obligatory use of overt grammatical subjects, especially in English, French and German, in the medieval period. The fact that Descartes himself seemed to have stuck to the overt subject ‘ego’ even in the Latin version of his famous theme, i.e. Ego cogito ergo sum instead of Cogito ergo sum, is also thought provoking.

Henri Matisse Drawing: An Eye-Hand Interaction Study Based on Archival Film

Henri Matisse (1869–1954) attached fundamental importance to his drawings, in particular to the famous Themes et Variations series. These were accomplished following a precise method, starting with arduous life studies and evolving into brilliant spontaneous drawings. A 1946 archival documentary film showing the artist drawing four portraits of his grandson Gerard was shot in such a way as to allow the present author to undertake a detailed eye-hand interaction analysis of the drawing process. It was found that Matisse's temporal working rhythm and use of motor memory resulted in a more direct approach than that used by most painters. Taken together with remarks the artist made throughout his lifetime, these results provide a cognitive interpretation of his drawing method.

VI. Notes on a Scandal: Reflections on Queering a National Icon

Once upon a time – more precisely in 1805 – the great Danish national poet Hans Christian Andersen was born in the town of Odense. Two hundred years later, the whole country was turning upside down to celebrate the birthday of the world famous fairy tale writer. Preparations for the celebrations started years before the actual birthday, and a daring theatre director, Lars Seeberg, was appointed head of the newly founded Hans Christian Andersen 2005 Foundation. Seeberg was not impressed by the last great celebration of Andersen in 1955. In the midst of the Cold War, Denmark used the fairy tale writer to launch itself as a peaceful, harmonious picture book country, epitomized in the involuntarily camp movie, Hans Christian Andersen, produced three years earlier in 1952, starring blue-eyed, clean-shaven, gay actor Danny Kaye portraying Andersen as a very innocent country boy singing his praises to ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’. This famous theme song of the movie, which earned no less than five Oscar nominations, later became the standard slogan to market the capital city of Denmark. The name of the official tourist board is to this day ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’. Andersen is thus part of a billion dollar business, selling Denmark to tourists from all over the world.

Vorstellung von Tod und Jenseits in der Frühchristlichen Grabinschriften der Oikumene

The project “Mors secundum epigrammata christiana antiqua” is based on the compilation of inscriptions of the third to the sixth century from the Oikumene. These inscriptions speak about death and afterlife and display similarities and differences of ideas about life after death in East and West. Important themes in both West and East are the community with God or Christ, which is already prominent in the early inscriptions from the West, and statements referring to the eternal life, which can generally be found from the fourth century onward. In the East, invocations of God are particularly numerous and show the affectionate interest and solicitude of the living for the post mortem fortune of their dead. However, resurrection and final judgement are not an important theme either in the East nor in the West; the hereafter is depicted very positively, in contrast to the negative or indifferent afterlife of paganism. The refrigerium, a famous theme in the Christian Latin epitaphs of the 3rd and 4th century,...
