Maradona and China: Perceptions and representations of a sports myth
2022
This article highlights specific aspects of the relationship between Maradona and the People���s Republic of China (PRC) to trace the development of the ���one-athlete brand��� in global sport and the construction of the ���foreign��� sports myth in China. These aspects include the aligned development of football in China and Maradona as an icon, manifested in the gap in the domestic space for Western athletic icons in China and Maradona���s rise during the 1986 World Cup; the political identity and interpretation of Maradona as a supporter of communist and socialist regimes amidst China���s opening and international integration; and the modern development of the Chinese sports machine and …
Dynamic Sustainability. Sustainability Window Analysis of Chinese Poverty-Environment Nexus Development
2015
Sustainability Window is a new analysis tool for assessing the sustainability of development simultaneously in all of its three dimensions (environmental, economic, and social). The analysis method provides information of the maximum and minimum economic development that is required to maintain the direction of social and environmental development towards more sustainable targets. With the Sustainability Window method it is possible to easily analyze the sustainability using different indicators and different time periods making comparative analyses easy. The new method makes it also possible to analyze the dynamics of the sustainability and the changes over time in the width of the window.…
Huoli kuvasta : merkitys, mieli, materiaalisuus
2017
This research is a hybrid of a monograph and a multiple-article dissertation. Its theoretical starting point is a phenomenologically based view of the being of the image, in which Georges Didi-Huberman´s work plays a central role. For him, as well as for Mieke Bal, a historical work of art is never only in the distant past only but also exists in the present actuality. This makes the temporality of the Image extremely complex. The Image can be encountered only “pre-posterously” (Bal) or by reading it “against the grain” (Didi-Huberman). The Image is necessarily anachronistic; it is not in time but opens up time. This fact should be taken into account not only in art history, but also in art…
Filipinas en el marco del imperio español en el siglo XIX
2019
[EN] En este artículo se analiza la evolución de Filipinas en las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII y en el transcurso del siglo XIX a través de diferentes epígrafes: la obligada transformación del secular modelo colonial volcado hacia el tráfico del Galeón y las relaciones transpacíficas; la renovada inclinación hacia Asia, el océano Índico y el mar de China; el desarrollo de un sistema económico basado en la exportación de productos filipinos y en la apertura de las islas al exterior; la evolución de la vida política; el camino hacia la modernización; el peso de las órdenes religiosas, la importancia de la población china y la colaboración con élites indígenas como rasgos singulares de Fili…
High-speed rail in China and its territorial impact
2011
International audience; China has started a massive development of high-speed rail projects, as part of a stimulus package, to ease congestion on tracks and in the air, and to limit emission of greenhouse gases. It will affect the geography of China and on its cities. Experiences gathered in France by researchers of the " TGV effect " are put forward as questions to foster research on the changes induced by high-speed rail. A " shrinking of China " has begun. The 505 km Zhengzhou to Xi'an line has cut the travel time between these two cities from 6 to 2 hours. The 1069 km Wuguang line has slashed from 10,5 hours to 3 the travel time between Wuhan and Guangzhou. By making it easier to move p…
Ultra-high temperature metamorphism recorded in Fe-rich olivine-bearing migmatite from the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton
2018
International audience; We document the first occurrence of Fe‐rich olivine‐bearing migmatitic metapelite in the Khondalite Belt, North China Craton. Petrological analyses revealed two exotic assemblages of orthopyroxene+spinel+olivine and orthopyroxene+spinel+cordierite. Phase relation modelling suggests that these assemblages are diagnostic of ultra‐high temperature (UHT) metamorphism in the Fe‐rich system, with temperatures from 1,000 to 1,050°C at 0.6 GPa. U–Th–Pb SIMS analyses on zircon reveal a similar age of c. 1.92 Ga for the olivine‐bearing migmatite and an adjacent gabbronoritic intrusion that is therefore identified as the heat source for the UHT metamorphism. These results, coup…
International joint venturing : understanding entry to Chinese market area through cultural dimension analysis and network theory
2012
The main aim of this thesis is to analyze how Joint Venture Company survives in China with special policy and environment. With China implemented reform and opening to outside world, China has developed at a supernormal speed in absorbing foreign investment and has made great achievements attracting the world attention. Many foreign companies want to expand business into Chinese market. As one form of market entry, Joint Venture companies have more advantages for further development. The analyses of the paper are mainly based on an interview for a Finnish Technology company in Kajaani City.
