Culture and Consumption: New Approaches to the Symbolic Character of Consumer Goods and Activities

This paper reviews roughly 200 recent studies of mobile (cellular) phone use in the developing world, and identifies major concentrations of research. It categorizes studies along two dimensions. One dimension distinguishes studies of the determinants of mobile adoption from those that assess the impacts of mobile use, and from those focused on the interrelationships between mobile technologies and users. A secondary dimension identifies a subset of studies with a strong economic development perspective. The discussion considers the implications of the resulting review and typology for future research.

Research Approaches to Mobile Use in the Developing World: A Review of the Literature

Translating advertising copy is like painting the tip of an iceberg. What you see are the words, but there is a lot behind the words that must be understood to transfer advertising from one culture to another. This paper demonstrates that consumer behaviour and the way consumers communicate are heavily dependent on their cultural values. For advertising, one important distinction is between low- and high-context communication, which can help us understand that people categorize the world in different ways. Another important influence of culture is on consumers’ needs, motives and emotions. Variations in inter-personal communication styles are reflected in advertising styles. Thus, effective advertising uses a culturally appropriate advertising style. For example, in Europe and Asia these styles are very different from US advertising style, of which rhetoric is an integral part. Another idea which is expanded in the present paper is that the persuasive communication function of advertising is biase...

With the deepening development of economic globalization, countries all over the world pay more and more attention to the translation of cultural heritage publicity. In foreign communication, publicity translation plays an important role, and Chinese-English translation is also an indispensable means. Therefore, this paper studies takes Huashan Rock Art as the research object, and adopts methods of literature analysis and corpus-based research to realize the publicity translation of cultural heritage application texts. Based on the comparative analysis of Chinese-English translation, it is suggested to strengthen government management, give play to the leading role of the government, attach importance to the training of high-level translation talents, improve the quality of translation, and promote the development of translation research for cultural publicity. There is outstanding significance and universal value of Huashan Rock Art. To protect Huashan Rock Art is to preserve the rich diversity of world cultures and protect our spiritual home. Applying for world cultural heritage is an important way for Huashan Rock Art from ornamental value to research value and then to wealth value enhancement. The study on the translation of Huashan Rock Paintings is of strategic importance to the cultural development of Guangxi. This study provides some reference for the foreign publicity translation of other cultural landscape heritages, therefore it is beneficial to promote the development of corpus translation. Through the translation of Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art application text, it provides a certain direction for the publicity translation of other cultural landscape heritage and it can promote the study of translation commonness. The publicity translation of Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art application text will bring abundant information to the world people and they may know about Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art, Luoyue culture and Chinese culture. Meanwhile, it can better promote the development of cultural tourism industry of Guangxi, even that of China. In addition, the communication and cooperation between China and other countries in the world will be promoted through foreign cultural exchanges, and it is a best approach to promote the development of friendly relations between China and foreign countries. 

Corpus-based Translation Study of Cultural Heritage International Publicity--A Case Study of Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art

The combustion characteristics and kinetics of food solid wastes (FSW), pulverized coal (PC), and their mixtures were studied by a non-isothermal thermogravimetric method. In the co-combustion of FSW and PC, with the increase in FSW content in the mixture, the initial decomposition temperature, burnout temperature, and ignition temperature of the mixture decreased, and the flammability index and comprehensive combustion characteristic index gradually increased. The co-combustion of FSW and PC showed an inhibitory effect in the devolatilization stage but exhibited a combustion-promoting effect in the fixed carbon combustion stage. The interaction between FSW and PC while co-combusting them appeared to be dominated by thermal effects. On one hand, FSW combusted first and released heat that was partially absorbed by the PC, which hence suppressed the devolatilization stage of the co-combustion process. On the other hand, the PC absorbed the heat released by the combustion of the FSW, which increased the combustion rate of the PC in the fixed carbon combustion stage of the co-combustion process. The activation energy of the devolatilization stage and the fixed carbon combustion stage of the co-combustion process was calculated to be 34.16–74.52 kJ/mol and 15.04–36.15 kJ/mol, respectively. In general, the combustion performance of FSW is better than that of PC. The mixed injection of FSW and PC can improve the overall combustion efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions in the iron-making process.
