On Cultural Identity Construction in David Henry Hwang’s Chinglish

( Xie¸ Bin ),( Kim¸ Taehyung ) 동국대학교 영어권문화연구소 2021 영어권문화연구 Vol.14 No.2

This study aims to interpret the construction of cultural identity in David Henry Hwang’s Chinglish from the perspective of Homi Bhabha’s cultural translation theory. Cultural translation signifies a strategy of cultural survival, aiming to give each unique language tradition or cultural text its own space. In the play, the playwright displays the ambivalence of the collision between Chinese and Western cultures through the performance of the protagonist Daniel on the Chinese cultural phenomenon “guanxi,” ensuring the likelihood of cultural negotiation. Using hybrid strategies with the protagonists’ languages, cultures, and identities, the playwright undermines stereotypes of the East held by the West and successfully overthrows the hegemonic position of the colonialist culture. Furthermore, through intercultural negotiation and hybridity, each language tradition or cultural text acquires its own living space and creates new meanings in the Third Space, thereby creating a new cultural identity.

A Riddle in Stone: Identifying a Plinth of Yangling Mausoleum 陽陵

XIE,Bo 영남퇴계학연구원 2020 The Journal of Toegye Studies Vol.3 No.2

The archaeological investigation of Yangling started in the 1970s. By now, much more has been written about Han burial system and burial objects. A large number of excavations are valuable to the investigations of Western Han society that covers such realms as politics, economy, military and culture. Furthermore, they are also of great significance in the study of art history. However, the topic of this paper is about a stone selected from numerous unearthed cultural relics. For all the investigations on the basis of archaeological reports of Yangling, the focus on this stone is less than those of the burial system of Western Han and excavated objects from the angle of art history. The stone was recorded as Luojing shi 羅經石 in written form for the first time in the stele to memorize the significant archaeological discovery in 1997. In two of the most important archaeological reports, Pelorus is employed as its English translation. Both the Chinese name and English translation of the stone seemingly imply that the stone was placed in the site of Yangling to confirm the directions. However, it is not a generally accepted conclusion. This article aims to answer the riddle in the Stone in Yangling Mausoleum with more certainty. All previous studies and increasing accessible archaeological data make it possible to conduct a more comprehensive investigation of the nature and function of the Stone and the architecture inside which the Stone was placed. Compared to other speculations, I am more inclined to suggest that the Stone is a central plinth of a Mingtang style ritual architecture in Yangling. Therefore, I prefer to rename it as Plinth of Yangling 陽陵柱礎 rather than Luojing shi 羅經石, which is too misleading.

The position of controller in traditional Chinese novels only presented before the turn‐talking. But in modern novels controllers can be putted in the middle or behind of turn‐talkings. After studying, we found that, there are three elements that effect the position of controllers, the first is time principle, the second is the angle of narration, the third is the features of turn‐talkings. This studying is very important to understand novel’s narration.

Sorption Behavior and Mechanism of Phosphate onto Natural Magnesite

Xie, Fazhi,Hu, Tingting,Oh, Won-Chun,Sheng, Dandan,Li, Haibin,Wang, Xuechun,Xie, Zhiyong,Li, Guolian,Han, Xuan,Xie, Wenjie,Sun, Mei Materials Research Society of Korea 2017 한국재료학회지 Vol.27 No.3

Removal of phosphate from environmental water has become more important to prevent eutrophication. In the present study, sorption behavior of phosphate onto magnesite was investigated under different conditions. The optimum pH of phosphate adsorption was determined to be 6.0. The adsorption capacity was found to decrease with increasing temperature, which indicates that a low temperature was beneficial for phosphate adsorption. The sorption capacity for phosphate was found to be 10.2 mg/g at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L and a dose of 2 g/L. The first order kinetic equation and Freundlich isotherm model fit the data well. Phosphate adsorption on magnesite was explained by electrostatic attraction and weak physical interactions.

Purpose: To examine the economic effects of logistics under the influence of policies. Research design, data and methodology: This study is the first to use the panel data of 31 provinces and municipalities in China from 2012 to 2021, and use the OLS and DID models to evaluate whether the New Western Land-Sea Corridor (NWLSC) has promoted the economic development of the regions along the corridor. Results: The NWLSC has stimulated local economic growth by promoting the development of transportation, postal, and telecommunications industries along the corridor. Further, considering the locational differences of the regions along the NWLSC, we examined the differences in economic effects between regions along the Yangtze River and those not along the Yangtze River under the background of NWLSC implementation. We found that waterway and airway transport located along the NWLSC and in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) region can significantly promote economic growth. However, for regions located along the NWLSC but not in the YREB region, the impact of roadway, railway, and airway transport in these regions on economic growth is more significant. Conclusions: This study has important reference value on how to use logistics to promote the economic and cross-border commerce development of landlocked countries or regions.

Train Students to Study Independently

Xie, Yong,Li, Ruheng,Ha, Jin-Cheol,Kim, Yun-Hae,Park, Se-Ho Korean Society for Engineering Education 2012 공학교육연구 Vol.15 No.5

Independent study is a major ability of engineering students. In independent study training practice, we need to use different instructional strategies and responds to individual student needs and learning styles. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a four-step student independent study training mode we applied to teaching the Biomedical Engineering students in Dali University, China. We developed this teaching mode to fulfill the goals of the first years' undergraduates training and improve the students learning skills. The four-step teaching mode includes both in-class and out-of-class activities. The emphasis is on how to train students to get information from the reading materials, understand the concept, develop critical thinking and eventually become independent learner.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF CHINA ON THE FOREIGN DIRECT

Xie Dan 한양대학교 법학연구소 2014 Hanyang Journal of Law Vol.1 No.-

Overall, since China reformed and opened up her market, China has been living in the location of the world in attracting foreign direct investment inflows. It can be said that the China's achievements in attracting foreign direct investment is that China has successfully used the investment of overseas Chinese and growing diversity of sources from other foreign direct investment. China’s opening up and rapid growth of the domestic market had been fundamental to her success. Preferential policies help China achieve a large-scale potential for attracting foreign direct investment. However, with the deepening of investment, the Chinese government developed a certain policy restrictions limit to foreign investors. Therefore, in this article I will focus on China’s international investment law under the impetus of the economic tide, and international investment law will play an important role for the management of the foreign enterprises in China. With the constraints of international investment law, China has made great progress in the foreign investment, of course, foreign-funded enterprises has also led to China’s economy. According to the International Investment Law, foreign investment management is getting continuous improvement.

HFFB technique and its validation studies

Xie, Jiming,Garber, Jason Techno-Press 2014 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.18 No.4

The high-frequency force-balance (HFFB) technique and its subsequent improvements are reviewed in this paper, including a discussion about nonlinear mode shape corrections, multi-force balance measurements, and using HFFB model to identify aeroelastic parameters. To apply the HFFB technique in engineering practice, various validation studies have been conducted. This paper presents the results from an analytical validation study for a simple building with nonlinear mode shapes, three experimental validation studies for more complicated buildings, and a field measurement comparison for a super-tall building in Hong Kong. The results of these validations confirm that the improved HFFB technique is generally adequate for engineering applications. Some technical limitations of HFFB are also discussed in this paper, especially for higher-order mode response that could be considerable for super tall buildings.
