Who Am I? Identity, Resistance, and Resilience in the Classical-Style Poetry of Nie Gannu
Authors: Yang Haosheng 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This article examines modern Chinese writer Nie Gannu's 聶紺弩 (1903–86) poetic exploration of the meaning of life and poetry in times of both personal crisis and sociopolitical crises in China from the 1950s through the mid-1970s. Before and during the Cultural Revolution, Nie was thrice denounced—as a member of the Hu Feng clique in 1955, as a rightist in 1957, and as a counterrevolutionary in 1967 for his critique of the extreme political measures of the time. Political persecution spurred Nie's serious interest in writing classical-style poetry, in which he redefined the role of intellectual writers in the socialist state. His poems were generated from ideological crisis, emotional vexation, and a moral imperative to record unvarnished truth; in an age obsessed with the future, they bore witness to the suffering of the present and the past.
Lu Xun, the Critical Buddhist: A Monstrous Ekayāna
Authors: Lei Ying 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
When Lu Xun 魯迅 (1881–1936) sows in “Gudu zhe” 孤獨者 (The Misanthrope) the analogy of a seed in a conversation about the nature of children, he alludes to the epistemic seedbed other than evolutionary thinking: Buddhism. This study probes into this moment of double conjuration as religion encounters science and soteriology confronts natural law. It unravels the significance of the Buddhist reference by tracing the seed to its Yogācāra provenance and implanting it in a twentieth-century debate between the Yogācārins and the advocates of the Tathāgatagarbha doctrine across East Asia. The author situates Lu Xun in a shared intellectual horizon with the contemporary lay Buddhist scholar, Ouyang Jingwu 歐陽竟無 (1871–1943), whose critique of Dasheng qixin lun 大乘起信論 (Treatise on the Awakening of Faith in the Mahāyāna, or the Awakening of Faith) in 1922 furnishes a Buddhist exemplum of the “obsession with China.” In spirit both Ouyang and Lu Xun anticipate the Critical Buddhism movement of late 1980s Japan, in which hongaku 本覚， or original enlightenment thought, is censured for latent ideological complicity with Japanese ethnocentrism. Lu Xun, the author suggests, turns out to be the most critical of all Critical Buddhists. This is evidenced by his “Sihuo” 死火 (Dead Fire), which features a ghastly twist in its retelling of the burning house parable from the Miaofa lianhua jing 妙法蓮華經 (Saddharma-puṇḍarīka-sūtra; Sūtra of the Lotus of the Wonderful Dharma, or the Lotus Sūtra). Having undergone a Buddhist vita contemplativa in the preceding years of the literary revolution, Lu Xun came to personify a profound “consciousness of darkness” (youan yishi 幽暗意識) in dwelling on the karma of modernity.

Midwifery management of asthma and allergies during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum
Authors: Nolte Anna , Hastings-Tolsma Marie , Hoyte Flavia 
Published: March 2017

Asthma and allergies can cause serious complications during pregnancy and often they are misdiagosed or mistreated. Anna Nolte, Marie Hastings-Tolsma and Flavia Hoyte look at ways nurses and midwives can recognise the symptoms quicker Asthma and allergic rhinitis are two of the most common health problems worldwide and can present serious complication during pregnancy. While these diseases may improve, remain unchanged, or become exacerbated during pregnancy, they are frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated. The inflammatory processes involved in asthma and allergic rhinitis are superimposed on the normal respiratory changes of pregnancy, making early intervention crucial. Recognition of factors that can aggravate asthma, implementation and adherence to treatment guidelines, and diligent follow-up are important in midwifery management. Patient education is particularly important for prevention of asthma exacerbations. With careful control of asthma and allergic rhinitis, if present, excellent obstetric outcomes can be expected.
Sexual-health beliefs among minority ethnic families in the north of England
Authors: Ochieng Bertha , Meetoo Danny D 
Published: March 2017

Do cultural issues hinder effective sex education in black African communities? Bertha Ochieng and Danny D Meetoo present a study to examine this and suggest ways to solve itThe purpose of this study was to explore beliefs and attitudes regarding sexual health among minority ethnic families. Focus group discussions with a convenience sample from a black African community comprising 32 adults (38–58 years of age) were undertaken. The group discussions were recorded, transcribed and analysed for themes. The findings were analysed using descriptive analysis and a variation of the constant comparative method. Primary themes included the participants' understanding of the concept of sexual health; an insight into sexual-health discourse in the home; and the need for culturally appropriate sexual-health promotion. This study contributes to our knowledge of black African parents' views on sexual health. It adds to previous literature on sexual health, gives voice to minority parents and their adolescent children, and highlights the importance of social norms, family and cultural values on sexual health.
Ubiquitin E3 ligase Itch negatively regulates osteoblast function by promoting proteasome degradation of osteogenic proteins

Published: March 2017

Objectives Ubiquitin E3 ligase-mediated protein degradation regulates osteoblast function. Itch, an E3 ligase, affects numerous cell functions by regulating ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of related proteins. However, the Itch-related cellular and molecular mechanisms by which osteoblast differentiation and function are elevated during bone fracture repair are as yet unknown. Methods We examined the expression levels of E3 ligases and NF-κB members in callus samples during bone fracture repair by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and the total amount of ubiquitinated proteins by Western blot analysis in wild-type (WT) mice. The expression levels of osteoblast-associated genes in fracture callus from Itch knockout (KO) mice and their WT littermates were examined by qPCR. The effect of NF-κB on Itch expression in C2C12 osteoblast cells was determined by a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Results The expression levels of WW Domain Containing E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 1 (Wwp1), SMAD Specific E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 1 (Smurf1), SMAD Specific E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 2 (Smurf2) and Itch were all significantly increased in the fracture callus of WT mice, which was associated with elevated expression of NF-κB members and total ubiquitinated proteins. Callus tissue isolated from Itch KO mice expressed higher levels of osteoblast-associated genes, including Runx2, a positive regulator of osteoblast differentiation, but osteoclast-associated genes were not increased. Both NF-κB RelA and RelB proteins were found to bind to the NF-κB binding site in the mouse Itch promoter. Conclusions Our findings indicate that Itch depletion may have a strong positive effect on osteoblast differentiation in fracture callus. Thus, ubiquitin E3 ligase Itch could be a potential target for enhancing bone fracture healing. Cite this article: J. Liu, X. Li, H. Zhang, R. Gu, Z. Wang, Z. Gao, L. Xing.

Notes towards the critical biennale
Authors: Beech Dave 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The periodic large-scale exhibition can be uncritical or critical, but it is essential to understand, when it is critical, where its critical agency is located. An exhibition of critical artworks is not necessarily the same as an exhibition consisting of works by critical artists, and an exhibition organised by a critical curator does not necessarily consist of critical works or critical artists. Indeed, the critical agency of the critical curator may be antagonistic to the critical artist. As such, this essay considers the location of criticality within the structure of the biennale itself rather than locating critical agency within the critical artist or critical curator.
Preserving the fabric of the national family: Traditional clothing in The Captain’s Daughter
Authors: Murphy Amanda 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Dress plays a key role within Pushkin’s historical novel, The Captain’s Daughter, and a number of studies have focussed on the significance of Peter Grinev’s gift of a hare-skin coat to the rebel Pugachev. This article departs from these previous studies by examining dress as a context-specific cultural sign, which forms a visual language understood by characters in the novel. Characters use cultural codes associated with traditional dress, including the tulup (a hare-skin coat), the dushegreika (a sleeveless, padded jacket) and the sarafan (a sleeveless pinafore dress), to gain assistance from unlikely sources. Such clothing identifies the wearer with traditional Russian values in opposition to the official code of conduct signified by uniforms and formal, westernized attire. The article aims to demonstrate the way in which ethnic dress reminds characters of their deeper kinship, which signals them to care for orphans, servants, the sick and others in need, even when those people belong to the enemy camp.
Scottish tartans and Russian Romanticism
Authors: Kirsanova Raisa 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Scottish fabrics in Russian urban dress reflected a new artistic movement in Russia and around the world. Two portraits of Alexander Pushkin, both painted in 1827, provide an accurate representation of how ideas of Romanticism were embodied in fashion. In the portrait by Vasily Tropinin (1776–1857), the poet is depicted in a soft tie à la Byron, named in honour of the English Romantic poet, and in a capacious dressing gown. In Orest Kiprensky’s portrait, Pushkin appears in a capacious Almaviva cloak made of two-sided Scottish fabric, worn over a frock coat. The poet is depicted without a tailcoat. According to his friend Pavel Nashchokin, Pushkin did not have a tailcoat at this time and was trying to acquire a used one, which he could wear when he accompanied his wife to Court events. As is well known, Emperor Nicholas I advised the poet to write historical novellas in the spirit of Sir Walter Scott. Properly identifying discrete details of these costumes enables us to trace Pushkin’s predilections, as well as his attention to society’s literary interests at the time.

Barbarella’s wardrobe: Exploring Jacques Fonteray’s intergalactic runway
Authors: Lundén Elizabeth Castaldo 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Roger Vadim’s Barbarella (1968) looms large in popular culture. Disguised under its sartorial splendour, the film’s narrative clearly negotiates social anxieties of the late 1960s. Similarly, the production design of the film incorporates contemporary elements from art, architecture and fashion. Arguably, these elements of style have played a key role in catapulting the film to its cult status. Franco-Spanish designer Paco Rabanne is frequently, albeit erroneously, credited for the creation of Jane Fonda’s on-screen parade of highly stylized costumes in the film. In fact, the man responsible for creating fashion in the diegetic year 40,000 was French costume designer Jacques Fonteray. Rabanne’s involvement in the film was limited to the creation of one costume. Based on archival research conducted in France and the United States of America, this article explores the role of Jacques Fonteray in the creation of the film’s costumes while simultaneously debunking the popular misconception regarding Paco Rabanne’s influence on the film’s overall aesthetics.
Ambivalence and the ‘American Dream’ on RuPaul’s Drag Race
Authors: Hall-Araujo Lori 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This essay proposes that reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race (2009–present) simultaneously participates in a highly commercial medium while commenting on, critiquing and parodying consumer culture. Drag Race, like other drag or female impersonation competitions, engages dress and performance to parody a range of normative social categories such as gender and sexuality. Yet the show differs from other drag competitions like those featured in US documentaries The Queen (Simon, 1968) and Paris is Burning (Livingston, 1990) in its ambivalent and lucrative engagement with consumer culture. In so doing, RuPaul’s Drag Race manages to parody the so-called American Dream while encouraging its pursuit.
In the spirit of Film, Fashion & Consumption’s ‘Short Cuts’ section, which encourages short analyses of timely topics, this piece aims to spark discussion across disciplines. It is my hope that experts in other fields, including queer theorists who study drag culture, will further enrich the conversation with their contributions.
‘Nowhere to bury the dead’: Finitude, nationalism and artistic communities in Janet Frame’s Living in the Maniototo
Authors: Rodríguez-Salas Gerardo 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The ambivalent combination of postmodernism and postcolonialism in Janet Frame’s novel Living in the Maniototo has been discussed by critics such as Janet Wilson and Marc Delrez. This article aims to find an alternative explanation for her ‘transcendental’ postmodernism that does not reside in Frame’s postcolonizing impulse, but rather in a more universal drive that can be explained through the work of Jean-Luc Nancy and Maurice Blanchot and their reinvention of the notion of community. While in other studies I have systematically outlined the failure of communities in Frame, the present article explores her paradoxical community of one. In its inextricable connection with death, this model offers the potential to ‘unwork’, in Nancy’s words, traditional or ‘operative’ communities. As I will argue, the approach to death is radically different in Frame’s later fiction. The result is a community of one that needs to be redefined in relation to Frame’s ambivalent approach to the community of artists and New Zealand patriotism. Jacques Derrida and Pierre Bourdieu will provide the theoretical rationale to understand Frame’s peculiar experimentation that leads her to a communitarian revision rather than to the solipsism of which she has been frequently accused.

Embracing the diversity of European national identities: The nation as part of the collective European whole
Authors: Collings Rhian 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
In Europe: An Unfinished Adventure, Zygmunt Bauman demonstrates that ‘Europe is not something you discover; Europe is a mission – something to be made, created, built’ (Bauman 2004b). Spanning the twentieth century, the narratives of travel of Paul Morand, Stefan Zweig, Primo Levi and Paul Theroux play a key role in this process of European identity construction. These four authors promote a forward-thinking and inclusive conceptualization of Europe and the relationship between nation and identity, through largely autobiographical narratives that detail travel within Europe, enforced or otherwise. Drawing on the work of European thinkers such as Zygmunt Bauman, Jürgen Habermas, Jacques Derrida, Roberto Dainotto, Amin Maalouf and E. J. Hobsbawm, my article will demonstrate to what extent all four authors show their readers that the importance given to national borders can be subverted through the motion of travel, in which these arbitrary lines on the map are crossed by the travellers in question. In accordance with the renowned pacifist Romain Rolland – who believed that national and European identity were not ‘mutually exclusive’ affinities – these four authors use their narratives to promote a sense of European or supranational identity, by urging their readership to rethink their relationship with their nation as part of a collective European whole, and to perceive diversity as being not Europe’s weakness, but rather its greatest strength. I will demonstrate how it is through valuable cultural productions such as these narratives of travel that Europeans are exposed to an alternative and more inclusive mode for identity construction, which triumphantly forwards what Ulrich Beck describes as ‘a Europe that helps diversity to flourish’.

Student migration and domestic improvisation: Transient migration through the experience of everyday laundry
Authors: Pink Sarah , Postill John 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
In this article, we develop a novel approach to transient student migration: by studying it through the mundane everyday. We focus on the private worlds where migrants encounter and improvise with new domestic technologies – through their laundry – by drawing on our video ethnography of Indonesian students in Australia. Such an analysis creates insights into some of the most fundamental, but usually invisible, aspects of migrant experience: their relationships with the routines, materiality, infrastructures and weather environments of everyday life. As such, it offers an alternative route through which to understand international student wellbeing, which we argue needs to be accounted for alongside more conventional and institutionally-oriented foci in this field of research.
Understanding ‘integration’: Chinese ‘foreign talent’ students in Singapore talking about rongru
Authors: Yang Peidong 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Studying abroad is an increasingly prevalent form of transient migration. How do international students understand their relationship with the host society and host nationals? Based on in-depth interview data, this article investigates the ways in which international students from China at a Singaporean university understand the idea of ‘integration’ (or rongru in Chinese). It is found that these Chinese students tend to define ‘integration’ in terms of friendly and everyday social interactions, but their understanding has a more or less assimilationist underlying assumption. This explains their generally modest self-evaluations of their success at ‘integration’. This article argues that this social and somewhat assimilationist understanding of integration might be explained in terms of the Chinese students’ cultural-linguistic ideologies about rongru, and the characteristics of their social space, position and circumstances in Singapore as academically capable ‘foreign talent’ students on Singaporean government scholarships.

Authors: Teixeira Viviane Rocha , Bilhalva Laura Bibiana Boada , Lima Juliana Niehues Gonçalves de 
Published: March 2017

O presente trabalho surgiu de uma nova análise que foi feita através de observação participante dos membros do grupo PET (Programa de Educação Tutorial) Turismo. Identificou-se a necessidade de uma reestruturação no projeto Educação Patrimonial para adequar-se melhor ao perfil das crianças. Assim, como principais resultados, diminuiu-se o número de encontros visando otimizar o tempo e foi realizada algumas modificações como o aumento do tempo de realização de atividades que favorecem a interação entre estudantes. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever como se efetuou a reestruturação no projeto Educação Patrimonial em escolas municipais de Santa Vitória do Palmar, RS – Brasil. O projeto, que tem como sujeitos crianças do 5º ano, propõem-se a sensibilizá-las e que essas multipliquem os conhecimentos construídos com os adultos (familiares, vizinhos, amigos, entre outros). Acredita-se que pode contribuir, também, em relação ao incremento do turismo histórico-cultural e de lazer na cidade. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado o método de observação participante e uma pesquisa bibliográfica em trabalhos do próprio Grupo PET. Na análise dos resultados encontra-se a descrição detalhada da reestrputuração do projeto e a justificativa da modificação da estrutura. Palavras-chave: Patrimônio. Turismo. Reestruturação.
