Mithila Women in the Past and Present: A Journey of Resilience and Transformation

This paper explores the multifaceted journey of Mithila women, tracing their evolution from historical to contemporary times. Situated in the culturally rich region of Mithila, spanning parts of Northern India and Nepal, these women have been the custodians of a profound heritage characterized by resilience and adaptability. The paper delves into their roles within traditional societal frameworks, where they have long been pivotal in maintaining cultural practices such as the renowned Madhubani art. Through examining historical texts, cultural studies, and contemporary research, this study highlights Mithila women's enduring strength and agency. Despite rigid patriarchal structures and socio-economic challenges, Mithila women have continually carved out spaces for self-expression and empowerment. The paper investigates the transformative impact of education, economic participation, and political involvement on their lives. It emphasises how access to education has not only enhanced their capacities but also contributed to the socio economic development of their communities. The rise of Mithila women in local governance and their increasing role in Panchayati Raj institutions signify a shift towards greater political empowerment and social change. Ultimately, this paper aims to contribute to the broader discourse on gender and development by offering insights into the unique experiences of Mithila women. It underscores their journey of resilience and transformation as a testament to their enduring spirit and as a critical aspect of the region's socio-cultural fabric. The study calls for sustained efforts to address the challenges faced by Mithila women and to support their ongoing journey towards equality and empowerment.

Report on culture towards critical rapport: basis for cautious, conscious and careful contemporary cultural studies and literacy

PurposeThis paper offers a critical exegesis of popular culture and its intersections with the other cultural expressions in the contemporary Philippine scene. As a distinct Reformed-Evangelical critique, the paper hopes to shed light on the areas of popular culture that are often assumed rather than discussed; affirmed but not analysed.Design/methodology/approachAlthough the following exposition is readily and arguably Western by orientation, most especially on the (post)modern mood in the space it belongs, as hegemonised by Anglo-American discourse, most of the concepts that this paper tackles are definitely universal and principled in praxes. The persuasion is that these criticisms will cover even the Filipino sub-/culture and sensibility in its attempt to exegete culture ontologically and contemplate on the phenomenon of popular culture at the very least. In that case, everyone who reads and specialises in cultural hermeneutics is thereby urged to offer a conscious understanding, comprehension and correspondence on the aforementioned particular aspects, albeit not everyone in the masses can readily grasp what this paper intends to build its discourse on. In carrying out this cultural exegetical task, certain markers and indicators will be used as halters, so to defamiliarise one’s attention on matters that may have immediate correspondence to the Filipino culture in its contemporary scene/sense, be it urban, suburban or rural depending on the spatial location of the readers as they interact with this treatise. As a whole, this paper endeavours to mould and uphold one’s glocal consciousness, distinctions, and differentiations in the assessment of culture, popular culture and popular culture in the Philippines vis-a-vis or vs other factors of this shared reality, sub-/culture and literacy and their probable popular culture counterparts elsewhere in the signifying and significant human experiences, challenges and perspectives.FindingsThe paper finds out that without a critico-practical approach to the implications of popular culture, it will be an insidious challenge to anyone who wishes to coexist with it, most especially the subcultural expressions of certain communities.Originality/valueThe paper possesses novelty in its being an intersection of cultural studies, criticism, theology and philosophy as basis for interpretation of certain socio-cultural phenomena in the contemporary urban space.

100 Jahre im Dazwischen. Ein- und Ausblicke in die Arbeit kulturwissenschaftlich-volkskundlicher Landesstellen

Regional centres for cultural and folklore studies in Germany are regionally and nationally networked institutions and are organised in different ways. They research, document, advise and communicate topics of everyday culture. They act in the in-between, as an interface between academia and the public. Their work primarily involves the transfer of knowledge into cultural practice and the exchange of knowledge with universities, specialised societies, museums and civil society institutions. To mark the centenary of the Regional Centre for Everyday Culture in Stuttgart, this article looks back at its past and considers the challenges and opportunities of the future. These include new needs and requirements for counselling in the context of intangible cultural heritage, but also with regard to new mediation formats, online presence and the digital availability of collections and archives. As a further challenge in times of scarce resources and public funding, the work and self-image of the regional centres must also be increasingly aligned with the expectations of the funding bodies and the public.

Women characters in the text Sekaśubhodayā: A Cosmopolitan voice of Moral and Ethical Values

“Social organization cannot be really understood expect as a part of culture; and all special lines of enquiring referring to human activities, human groupings and human ideas and beliefs can meet and become cross fertilized in the comparative study of cultures” Values, Morality and Ethics – this try polar system i.e. (the sense of righteous) are the epitome of Human existence. Although it is differ from man to man. In the present century search for a theory of values has become a separate branch and has been called axiology. According to our opinion the main approach to value system comprises two parts i.e. theistic and humanistic. Theistic approach opines that absolute values are related to absolute reality where the supreme power is the upholder of all values. Whereas, humanistic holds that the values are as a distinct component of the total human personality, which guide or affect attitude and behaviour of the individual and social groups. The text we are dealing here is entitled with Sekaśubhodayā; is a hagiological literature which attributed to Halāyudha Miśra. The blending of Sanskrit and Bengali makes the text unique. Political discrepancy, social and moral degeneration, adultery and mutual rivalry projected boldly without much pretention. Although the text is a pen picture of decadent Medieval Bengal, still a handful of Women excels in their own merit and retains the morality that is equally relevant even in 21st century. The position of women in Medieval Bengal, especially of the house-wives of well-to-do families, as reflected in this story is somewhat unparalleled in Sanskrit literature. This text predicts as a unique collection in the genre of Sanskrit literature because of its sharp representation of women characters. Characters like Madhavī, Vidhutprabhā taught us a lesson that the concept of Satyam, Śivam and Sundaram is the beauty of human nature if we violate one another one automatically disturbed. Our endeavor is to reevaluate this value system in our life which is still relevant.

Configurations of resourceful and demanding attributes of organizational culture in US hotels: An innovative approach using topic modeling and fsQCA

This study distinguishes itself from existing organizational culture studies by investigating the relatively under-studied theoretical relationship between organizational culture and employer attractiveness. To capture the holistic nature of organizational culture theory, this study adopts configurational analysis, which contrasts resourceful cultural attributes (collaborative, employee development, and fair-compensation cultures) with demanding attributes (result-oriented, overworked, and job-insecurity cultures). This study proposes three configurational propositions of employer attractiveness and employs review-based topic modeling and fuzzy-set quality comparative analysis (fsQCA) to overcome the limitations of traditional survey-based measurement and regression analysis. For the empirical analysis, this study constructs an industry-wide dataset comprising 2209 quarterly samples from 157 hotels over six years, utilizing 54,889 employee reviews posted on Glassdoor in the United States. Topic modeling analysis adopting Latent Dirichlet Allocation extracts the probabilities of six cultural attributes. Finally, the fsQCA generates three groups of 13 configurations, leading to employer attractiveness: a fully resourced culture, a resourced and low-demanding culture, and a fairly compensated overwork culture. The findings confirm the core concepts of configurational analysis in contrast to regression analysis and present novel theoretical, methodological, and practical implications.

Этос и хронос Владимира Сергеевича Соловьева

The paper presents the theses of reflections of a member of the editorial board of the journal “Solovyov Studies”, which complement the discussion of the topic “Vladimir Solovyov and the Future of Russian Philosophy” held within the framework of the international “round table”. The special role and significance of the journal “Solovyov Studies” in the scientific study of the work of the outstanding Russian religious thinker is pointed out. Over the decades of its existence, the journal has published hundreds of scientific articles by highly qualified domestic and foreign authors, outstanding scientists and novice researchers who have made a significant contribution to the study of the work of Vladimir Sergeevich Solovyov. These works are in demand today in a variety of areas of humanities – in cultural studies and philosophy, history of literature, literary criticism, religious studies and theology. This work also presents a thesis statement of the conceptual ideas of V.S. Solovyov, which have not lost their relevance in our days, but on the contrary, have acquired special acuteness and significance. In particular, it is shown that the “theocratic project” of the thinker, despite its seeming utopianism, attracts the attention of not only intellectuals, but also public and political figures in the West and in Russia. In modern Russian society, the topic of the ethos and chronos of the “Russian idea” is again being discussed with particular acuteness. One of its sources was precisely the philosophy of V.S. Solovyov. Russia, in the understanding of V.S. Solovyov, realizes God's plan for it, this is its providential ethos. Its historical mission is simultaneously moral (ethos) and providential (chronos) – it is the mission of uniting Christian civilization.

Об актуальности наследия Вл.С. Соловьева

The general characteristics of the materials of the International “Round table” “Relevance of V.S. Solovyov's legacy: philosophy, philology, cultural studies (modernity calls and possible answers)” devoted to the discussion of the problems of V.S. Solovyov's legacy research are presented. The initiator and organizer of the scientific event was the editorial board of the journal “Solovyov studies”. The discussion was attended by Russian and foreign specialists – philosophers, philologists, cultural scientists from the largest universities and academic centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ivanovo, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Kostroma, Saransk, Astrakhan. Foreign participants are researchers of V.S. Solovyov's legacy from Italy, Spain, and France. It is noted that the discussion participants focused on the problems of historiography and source studies of Russian philosophy in general and the legacy of V.S. Solovyov. The relevance of the ethical vector of his historiosophical ideas is pointed out to the philosophical unreasonableness and politicization of modern attacks on Solovyov's legacy, the lack of a fundamental scientific and philosophical research program. Attention is drawn to the need for further research into the historical and philosophical context of the formation of V.S. Solovyov's philosophical views and their influence on the subsequent development of culture, on the prospects of the projects “logic of unity” and “philosophy of neo-unity” being developed. The relevance of the idea of Christian unity by V.S. Solovyov is noted. Promising directions for further philological study of his work are revealed. The role of the journal “Solovyov Studies” in the development of Russian and foreign Solovyov studies is determined.

Молодежный сленг: восприятие глагольных заимствований носителями языка

This article presents the results of a psycholinguistic study aimed at determining the peculiarities of perception of English-language verb borrowings by Russian representatives of different age groups and professions. The research is based on the psycholinguistic theory of the word as a means of access to a single perceptual-cognitive-affective information base of a person and the concept of the specifics of the functioning of individual knowledge, developed by A.A. Zalevskaya. Quantitative indicators and qualitative analysis of the results obtained in the experiment made it possible to identify several groups of borrowed verbs depending on the level of their adaptation in the new language system. In addition, the experimental study was conducted in two stages (in the first part, stimuli were presented without context, in the second – in context), which allowed, during the analysis of the experimental results, to compare the characteristics of the identification of a borrowed English word by the subjects in a situational context and without it. The experimental material, English-language verb borrowings, is analyzed from the point of view of an individual using them: age, level of education, profession, level of knowledge /non- knowledge of a foreign language play an important role in the process of identifying words of youth slang. With age, the tolerant attitude towards borrowings decreases, while it turned out that representatives of the humanitarian professions are generally more tolerant of foreign language vocabulary than people who are professionally unrelated to language and cultural studies. With an increase in the level of education of the subjects, the speech adaptation of new borrowings is easier.

ІНТЕРАКТИВНА КАРТА МІКРОТОПОНІМІВ СЕЛА ВЕЛИКІ ДІДУШИЧІ ЯК ЗАСІБ ЗБЕРЕЖЕННЯ І ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ОНІМІВ

In the proposed article the authors presents an interactive map of microtoponyms of the village of Velyki Didushychi, Stryi district, Lviv region, created in Google Maps application, which serves as a platform not only for displaying cartographic information, but also as a source of various linguistic information about microtoponyms. On the example of one settlement, the step-by-step process of creating a map is traced: searching in the «My Maps» section on Google Drive for a map of the village, naming, filling with information about the settlement in the «Description» section, putting the onym on the map, presenting various linguistic information about the microtoponym (features of local pronunciation, grammatical information, type of named object, type of structure, method of formation, semantics of the motivational stem, etc.). The authors emphasises the possibilities of using interactive maps for various research needs: division into semantic groups, selection of structural types, methods of creation, formation of areas of microtoponyms, which is demonstrated by examples. Attention is focused on the key definitions of the research (interactive map, microtoponym), supplementing the created interactive map with new names and extra-linguistic information (photos, videos, legends, stories), which broadens the perception of the name and contributes to the interest of a much larger number of people, as well as on the possibilities the use of such an information platform in the educational process of philological specialties during the study of dialectology, microtoponymy, linguistic and cultural studies (in particular in the of distant or mixed learning), in the compilation of local history guides, and in learning the history of one’s native village.

Revisiting Douai Ms 785: Musical Cultures of Exiled English Convents through the Lens of a Miscellany

Abstract Scholarship on early modern English Catholic music after the reformations tends to focus on the activities of male musicians and male institutions. Despite increased study of English convent culture by scholars of religious, social, and literary history, there remains little specialist examination of music at post-Reformation English convents in exile, and their role in wider musical networks in early modern Europe is markedly under-acknowledged. This article aims to highlight how complex miscellanies with links to English monastic institutions in exile can offer insight into the convents’ otherwise elusive musical world. Using a hitherto unanalysed miscellany – Douai Ms 785 – this article will show how codicological study of manuscripts, combined with study of concordances and unica, can illuminate the role of English convents in early modern musical networks. In doing so, it will demonstrate the need to understand miscellanies like Douai Ms 785 as witness to interacting, overlapping musical and religious ecosystems in early modern Europe.

Два этапа развития автофикшн

The article examines the socio-literary phenomenon of “auto-fiction” as a continuous process, the study of which requires systematization of existing research and a more careful study of those which are not yet completed on its new stage of development of the phenomenon of “auto-fiction”. The article proposes to divide the history of autofiction development into two stages: “genre” and “ego-documentary”. The “ego-documentary stage” is examined in detail: identifying how changes in the perception of autobiography have influenced autofiction; identifying acquired egodocumentary features in autofiction; examining how ego-document researchers work with autofictional works; and suggesting the relationship between autofiction and photography in the context of the expanding form of autofictional works. The novelty of the study lies in the application of an interdisciplinary approach, thanks to which it becomes possible to study the reasons of changes in autofiction. This article is relevant due to the study of the modern phenomenon of autofiction and its wide field of application, since it can be used in the field of cultural studies, sociology, philology, psychology, philosophy and many others. The study shows that the perception of autofiction is radically different in the "genre" and "ego-documentary" stages of development, which justifies the division into stages; a direction for an even greater expansion of the concept of "autofiction", concerning both the form of the work and its content, is identified.

Grb7, Grb10 and Grb14, encoding the growth factor receptor-bound 7 family of signalling adaptor proteins have overlapping functions in the regulation of fetal growth and post-natal glucose metabolism

BackgroundThe growth factor receptor bound protein 7 (Grb7) family of signalling adaptor proteins comprises Grb7, Grb10 and Grb14. Each can interact with the insulin receptor and other receptor tyrosine kinases, where Grb10 and Grb14 inhibit insulin receptor activity. In cell culture studies they mediate functions including cell survival, proliferation, and migration. Mouse knockout (KO) studies have revealed physiological roles for Grb10 and Grb14 in glucose-regulated energy homeostasis. Both Grb10 KO and Grb14 KO mice exhibit increased insulin signalling in peripheral tissues, with increased glucose and insulin sensitivity and a modestly increased ability to clear a glucose load. In addition, Grb10 strongly inhibits fetal growth such that at birth Grb10 KO mice are 30% larger by weight than wild type littermates.ResultsHere, we generate a Grb7 KO mouse model. We show that during fetal development the expression patterns of Grb7 and Grb14 each overlap with that of Grb10. Despite this, Grb7 and Grb14 did not have a major role in influencing fetal growth, either alone or in combination with Grb10. At birth, in most respects both Grb7 KO and Grb14 KO single mutants were indistinguishable from wild type, while Grb7:Grb10 double knockout (DKO) were near identical to Grb10 KO single mutants and Grb10:Grb14 DKO mutants were slightly smaller than Grb10 KO single mutants. In the developing kidney Grb7 had a subtle positive influence on growth. An initial characterisation of Grb7 KO adult mice revealed sexually dimorphic effects on energy homeostasis, with females having a significantly smaller renal white adipose tissue depot and an enhanced ability to clear glucose from the circulation, compared to wild type littermates. Males had elevated fasted glucose levels with a trend towards smaller white adipose depots, without improved glucose clearance.ConclusionsGrb7 and Grb14 do not have significant roles as inhibitors of fetal growth, unlike Grb10, and instead Grb7 may promote growth of the developing kidney. In adulthood, Grb7 contributes subtly to glucose mediated energy homeostasis, raising the possibility of redundancy between all three adaptors in physiological regulation of insulin signalling and glucose handling.

Между имперским и постимперским дискурсом: идеи империи и революции в оптике исследователей XXI века (Рец. на: Идея империи и идея революции в русской философии и культуре XIX–XX веков: коллективная монография / отв. ред. И.И. Евлампиев. СПб.: Изд-во РХГА, 2023. 420 с.)

The paper analyses the collective monograph: “The Idea of Empire and the Idea of Revolution in Russian Philosophy and Culture of the XIX–XX Centuries”, its content being a reflection on one of the most intellectually acute and complex contradictions of Russian history – the problem of empire and revolution. This problem invariably awakens philosophical thought, forcing it to search for an explanation of the notorious “pendulum of Russian history”, the genesis of power, the vector and track of Russian history, which are intellectual outgrowths of the fundamental problem – the problem of Russian civilizational and state identity. The content of the work is an analysis of empire and revolution – the main concepts that are in the focus of philosophical interest and reflection in Russian culture of the XIX–XX centuries. Its aim is to demonstrate the theoretical demand to continue the analysis and philosophical reflection of the concepts of empire and revolution, with the task of rethinking and reinterpreting them. The thesis is presented about the inexhaustibly traditional historical-philosophical narrative (liberalism-conservatism) and the discursively traditional nature of the range of topics, problems and questions, centred on the concepts of “empire” and “revolution”, with the same inexhaustibly traditional duality of interpretation (“us–them”, “East–West”). The result of the analysis of the sections that make up the content of the monograph is the conclusion about the epistemological and axiological value of the concepts of empire and revolution, and the heuristic productivity of the works related to their analysis in the context of the challenges faced by the Russian society and state. The latter can be used as analytical tools for works that develop and deepen the problems of empire and revolution on a modern historiographical basis. The historiographical basis of the article is the works of well-known Russian and foreign authors specializing in this field of humanities, and the methodological basis is hermeneutic analysis with the involvement of the discourse of cultural studies, political science and history.

Construction of New Female Image in Early Modern China - Review of <i>Performing China: Female Stars, Performance Culture, Visual Politics, 1910-1945 </i>by Huiling Zhou

The author of the book <i>Performing China: Female Stars, Performance Culture, Visual Politics, 1910-1945</i>, Huiling Zhou, through the method of careful cross-text reading of cultural and video data and the theory of performance cultural studies, studies the tortuous course of constructing new female images of Chinses women represented by female film stars in the early 1920s and 1930s. They are not only “theater actresses” on the screen, but also “social actresses” in social practice. In face of various social opinions, gossip and party comments at that time, early Chinese female stars found ways to release themselves in their screen roles and real lives in the real society. Their performances in the process of China’s modernization revealed the society’s conception of the country, urban scene and female image at that time. Hollywood’s influence on Chinese films in the 1930s was profound and extensive, from the portrayal of urban women in China to the demonstration of film marketing strategies. From the perspective of film performance, the author analyzes the process of cross-cultural communication and interaction between China and the United States in the 1930s, involving various aspects of film, literature, politics, painting and industry. The difficulty of reading this book lies in its strong theoretical nature. Then, the film documents and image data selected by the author in the early 1920s and 1930s are relatively unknown to many people today. The author’s cultural research method with visual as core of cross-cultural interaction research can make us have some new thinking about many popular cultural forms at present, and broaden our vision and thinking.

A Cognitive Translation Study of Traditional Chinese Health Preservation Culture: Semantic Reconstruction and Cross-cultural Transmission

This study centers on the cognitive translation of traditional Chinese health preservation culture, presenting innovative and practical insights. By employing cognitive translation theory, including cognitive schemas and concept integration, this study addresses translation challenges and proposes semantic reconstruction principles. The research delves into cultural barriers and solutions, as evidenced by case studies like the “Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor” and “Treatise on Febrile Diseases.” Future efforts should expand case studies and refine cross-cultural transmission strategies. Integrating traditional Chinese health preservation culture with modern technology will further promote global communication and cultural exchange.

Management of Cultural Literacy Among Osing Tribe Women and Children for Local Culture Preservation

The preservation of the local culture of the Osing Banyuwangi tribe cannot be separated from the role of women, especially mothers, in transmitting cultural values through cultural literacy which is applied to the next generation. Apart from the role played by mothers, there is also the role of cultural studies which manage cultural literacy. One of them in Banyuwangi Regency is Sapu Jagad Studio located in Kemiren village which manages cultural literacy to maintain the local culture of the Osing tribe. Therefore, this research aims to analyze how to manage Osing ethnic cultural literacy for women and children in preserving local culture. The approach applied in conducting this research is a case study with qualitative methods. Data sources were obtained by applying data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation to studio managers, groups of women, and children involved in the Sapu Jagad studio. The analysis technique used is the Miles & Huberman model which is carried out through 3 stages, namely collection, reduction, presentation, and concluding the data that has been obtained. The results obtained from this research are the management process of the Sapu Jagad studio through the management stages of institutional management, the learning process, and the impact obtained from managing cultural literacy for women to preserving the local culture of the Osing tribe in Banyuwangi.

USING THE POTENTIAL OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES IN THE FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES OF FUTURE CULTUROLOGISTS

The article analyzes the place and role of territorial communities in the system of professional training of culturologists. It has been determined that among the qualifications of a master of cultural studies, the national standard for extensive knowledge of this specialty means the ability to professionally diagnose, predict, project and model the cultural development of different cultural regions, physical and visual culture. It is described how the preparation of such specialist, who are present in the socio-cultural field of the region, has become one of the ambushes of the educational and professional programs «Culturology» of the first (bachelor’s) and the other (master’s) who is jealous of the great knowledge of the Poltava National Pedagogical University named after V. G. Korolenko. It is characterized how this process will ensure that stakeholders from various territorial communities are recruited before the process of developing, negotiating, changing and revising new programs like these, and also in cooperation with robot sellers in localities and villages Poltava region and regional areas near the area of organization of practice, ensuring dual coverage of cultural scientists, as well as through obtaining awareness of socio-cultural projects, such as carrying out foundations and establishing culture, community organizations and local activities. It is proved that the mutual work from the preparation of a cultural scientist, who is not without a wide range of current cultural knowledge, and also to create an organization (often funerary popularization), to the last (analytical) practical), as well as enabling activities in the sphere of culture and the department of foreign affairs culturology of Poltava Pedagogical University from hours of sleep. The wide base of stakeholders, which were obtained up to this point, is associated with the sphere of practice of such a specialist, which nurtures the foundations of light, and the establishment of culture, as well as the cultural and creative industries. In 2020, the adoption of a new standard for the specialty 034 Culturology did not deprive the class of subjects that formulate the necessary skills of a cultural scientist, and this meant the norm of preparation of the specialist, which includes the creation of the organization and the promotion of communication with government authorities, scientific and research institutions, information and analytical services, methods of mass information and cultural nutrition. This led to the establishment of close collaboration with stakeholders and territorial communities to train students to work in localities and villages in the region.
