Shamanic Culture’s Reconnection of Earth and Heaven (Xu Ditiantong) in the New Era in China: The Dialectical Relationship between Material Civilization and Cultural Intimacy

Shamanic culture, which adheres to the worldview of connecting earth and heaven, has been marginalized in the discourse of the modern material world and separated from mainstream society. However, with the increase in personal problems in civil society and the rise of regional cultural identity since the reform and opening up in China, shamanic practitioners have again become active. Adapting to the official ideology, shamanic culture has emerged in China as a new form of folk culture and cultural heritage. Using Michael Herzfeld’s theory of “cultural intimacy” to a limited extent, this paper regards the new image of the shamanic tradition that has appeared in the new era as a manifestation of “cultural intimacy”, which does not infringe the authority of official discourse, nor damage the interests of government departments, and is in line with the imagination of official discourse about culture. Within the shaman cultural community, the shamanic tradition continues to connect earth and heaven, helping to solve difficult personal problems, alleviating the pressure of the material world, and at the same time making the sacred expression of the members of the shaman cultural community possible. In this way, the shaman tradition, which has emerged in a new image since the new era, has maintained the ecological balance between government and folk practices and formed a more stable pattern of cooperation.

민속마을 보존정비 가이드라인 설정에 관한 연구 - 제주 성읍마을의 문화재구역 내 가옥을 중심으로 -

Among Korea's national folk cultural heritage, eight villages have been designated, and 37 years have passed since Hahoe Village was first designated in 1984. All eight villages have been constantly inhabited by residents from the past to the present, so the cultural value of inferring the lives of our ancestors in the past is very high. However, due to the inconvenience of the settlement environment in existing houses due to changes in the living environment, buildings such as various residential facilities and warehouses have been installed and expanded without permission, losing the original cultural property landscape and building. In addition, complaints and conflicts from residents are accumulating due to the poor living environment in the village. Therefore, this study intends to present guidelines for conservation and maintenance that can embrace changes in resident's housing and living environment, based on the 'maintenance of original form', the grand principle of the Cultural Properties Protection Law about the Jeju Seongeup Village. In particular, the maintenance plan is largely subdivided into legalization, demolition, expansion and reconstruction, and detailed standards for each item and examples applied are proposed. Through this, it aims to become basic data on the starting point of realistic improvement measures for cultural properties and residents to coexist.

Folk Literature and Cultural Heritage: The Igbo Example

The paper presents literature as a mirror of a people in a given speech community. This implies that a particular human society has its literature which exists in preliterate times; we call it folk literature or orature, for short. Folk literature encapsulates the actions and reactions of any social group. The paper argues that literature represents the essence of a people as literature is language at work, language being the arrowhead of culture. In avers that if you want to understand a people, a good place to inquire into is their literature. Besides, it contends that language exists basically in literature. The literary form we recognize as orature showcases the people’s world view, which, inter alia, captures their interaction with one another as social group; it reveals their idiolect, value system and folkways. Thus, orature unveils their social and cultural frontiers from the synergy that is implicit in traditional community life from nativity. Indeed, folk literature of a people encases diverse cultural information that portray the totality of their cultural treasures, namely, the technological, the sociological and the ideological facets. This essay insists that we need to excavate and internalize the utilitarian bounties of orature, for these bounties acquaint us with where the rain began to beat us, where we are coming from and where we are going in the stream of time. To ignore cultural bounties of our heritage will amount to throwing a baby away with the bathwater. The paper explores New Historicism as literary and critical bases in its speculations, which, in the opinion of the essayists, will better present the corpus of folk literature as it is presented in this paper than in any previous work that may have been done on the subject matter.

THE PHENOMENON OF CALENDAR LYRICAL POETRY AND ITS GENESIS

In accordance with the title itself, this paper deals with a study that aims not only to appreciate the Albanian folk cultural heritage included in the ritual calendar songs but also to evaluate and synthesize the scientific and evaluative thinking of the studies on the subject. Folk poetry, that is, lyrical calendar poetry, is a mouth-to-mouth creation from generation to generation. We can rightly say that these creations overcame the tragic ruins of centuries, always renewing, enriching, many of them, fading, nevertheless constantly in harmony with the development of the people’s life and social circumstances. Ancient as the people themselves, Albanian oral creativity in general, ritual lyrical songs in particular, and especially lyrical songs of calendar rites, are still fresh, wherever used, exclusively in rural settings, where part of human life consists of livestock and agriculture. Regardless of their intense developments, this creativity is constantly transformed.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: The application of augmented reality and unity 3D in interaction with intangible cultural heritage

The current predicament of intangible cultural heritage is its vulnerability and rarity, and an expression that is difficult to construct in the space-time dimension. It is difficult for visitors to really understand and touch these local intangible cultural heritages. For this reason, the need to develop new methodologies for cultural heritage learning and art appreciation is always present, and this is increasingly supported by digital technologies. The research in this paper is to apply the self-issuance method to the folk intangible cultural heritage center. It is different from the traditional AR method of presenting crafts directly through HMD. Instead, the use of low-cost technology, Augmented Reality technology and unity 3D technology provide a new way of interaction. By using HMD, smartphone, Leap motion and software created in UNITY 3D, the application of the augmented reality program is achieved. It allows users to interact with the intangible cultural heritage easily and fully it in a virtual physical environment. Based on the principle of human natural interaction, it can be achieved by structured light target image scanning and the design and experiment of photographic measurement. Then a local intangible cultural heritage model database can be established to provide virtual prototype files. The results of the experimental show that the data transmission is effective and the three-dimensional interaction between people and exhibits can be realized. The research results can be applied to the interactive mode practice of the intangible cultural heritage center, and provide an effective interactive mode for the intangible cultural heritage in the form of augmented reality interaction. In this way, visitors can have a deep impression on the intangible cultural heritage and the culture can be spreaded widely all over the world.

Love In A Cold Climate

It’s tempting to think that the genesis for the bleak Polish film Cold War came when director Pawel Pawlikowski picked up a copy of Theodor Adorno’s The Culture Industry , read Chapter 1, “On The Fetish Character of Music and the Regression of Listening,” struck his forehead with his fist

ИСТОРИЯ ПЕСНИ "ЛУЧИНУШКА"

The history of the folk song “Luchinushka” (“Luchina, luchina berezovaya) in the 19th and 20th centuries is, in fact, a history of its actualization. In folk tradition the song is restricted women’s repertoire, with all the changes occurring due to the realities of the new times. On popular scene the song transfers from women’s repertoire to men’s and becomes a meditative lyrical piece (a genre unknown to folk songs) instead of a family everyday one. In the same time, song texts are formed that compensate this transfer (e.g., the song “Noch’ temna-temnyokhon’ka”). This demonstrates how it is nearly impossible to keep the folk worldview intact while actualizing folk cultural heritage, therefore any actualization of cultural heritage is, in essence, a kitch reaction to a contemporary demand. The processes exemplified by the history of the song “Luchina, luchinushka berezovaya” are easily seen in history of actualization of any other phenomena of traditional culture, including applied ones. Being aware of this process does not imply that one should stop in one’s attempt to incorporate and promote folk heritage. Yet it is also unadvisable to believe that forms of such incorporation and propaganda are relevant to the folk culture itself. The only way to achieve productive actualization is to understand clearly and fully that any incorporation of folk culture is, in essence, an unintentional distortion of it.

Sustainability of indigenous folk tales, music and cultural heritage through innovation

PurposeThe aim of producing Bah Luj Production, four folk tales books accompanied by a compact disc of its narration, dialogs and music is to revitalize the folk tales, music and cultural heritage of the indigenous Semai by condensing them into an innovative resource package, tailored to appeal to the current generation’s consumer interests and lifestyles. The targeted audiences for the product are Malaysians, in particular the Semai community, as well as other local and international consumers. The purpose of this paper is to examine a practice-led approach toward considering the empowerment of selected culture bearers assisted by the intervention of researchers from the academia in facilitating the sustainability of indigenous cultural traditions in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachThis approach is practice-led – Bah Luj Production was developed based on action, reflection, review and revision. This paper provides visibility to the research process, enabling readers to understand the issues, challenges and decision-making processes. The practice-led approach that was used for this project provides a realistic practical guide, bridging the gap between theory and practice. In the conclusion, the authors also bring forth ideas for improvement through reflection, on suggested approaches in ways this research did not manage to pursue.FindingsThis paper proposes three approaches in advocating for cultural sustainability through innovation: collaboration between selected culture bearers and researchers in the academia; indigeneity of cultural expressions and illustrations; and adaptability and relevance to current interests of indigenous people and consumers of indigenous music and literature. This paper argues that it is important for the researcher to navigate research with relevance to the context and situation.Research limitations/implicationsWhile many articles focus on presenting the outcomes of a research project, this paper guides the reader toward understanding the limitations, constraints and negotiations made by the research team during the research and production stages. Transparency in the process of decision making will enlighten readers on realistic, practical approaches as opposed to idealistic theoretical methods.Practical implicationsThis paper argues for sustainability through innovation and posits that cultural heritage practices that continue to be performed are those that are adaptable, flexible to change and open to innovation – therefore maintaining relevance to time, context and consumers. This paper posits that researchers should be flexible and practical in their research actions and avoid generalizations that come out of recent and popular critical theories as the most, or only suitable, approaches for diverse communities.Originality/valueThe development of an alternate approach, theory/concept and guidelines toward sustainability through innovation make this study the first of its kind. This approach integrates tradition with creation.
