TL;DR: In this paper , a research project was initiated to investigate the significance of the Lolita subculture in Hong Kong, with an emphasis on Lolita behaviors and attitudes in particular, and they conducted interviews, virtual ethnography and daily observations to uncover the underlying motives of those engaged in this subculture.
Abstract: <p>Although the term “Lolita” originates from Vladimir Nabakov’s novel <em>Lolita </em>(1955), the current Lolita subculture has no direct reference to this novel or with any sexual connotation. It is more about personal expression and manifestation. It is a form of escapism—a way of taking flight from adolescence or adulthood and returning to childhood. By wearing a childlike Lolita style in a fantasy setting, the wearer may enter into an imaginary world and momentarily remove her/himself from everyday reality. Lolita subculturists “wear more than one hat in life” and their lives are filled with performance, imagination, illusions, and even confusion. In order to understand this fluid, contingent, and contradictory identity, a research project was initiated to investigate the significance of this subculture in Hong Kong, with an emphasis on Lolita behaviors and attitudes in particular. In-depth interviews, virtual ethnography and daily observations were employed to uncover the underlying motives of those engaged in the Lolita subculture. According to this study, it is evident that today’s young consumers are constantly searching for and constructing a personal and social identity through symbolic consumption. A Lolita style enables young people to achieve an image for which they would not be accepted in everyday life. In short, Lolita consumption is a great source of pleasure, exhilaration, and delight for many Lolita subculturists in Hong Kong.</p>

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of whether a text has only one legitimate meaning, or no meaning at all, is dealt with, when the contexts of sender and receiver are different.
Abstract: The problem being dealt with in this paper is whether a text has only one legitimate meaning, or no meaning at all. The question becomes even more acute when the contexts of sender and receiver are different. Polysemy and ambiguity are well-known obstacles to communication on the level of the word. The necessity of a general semiotic theory is stressed, and explains the difference between denotation and connotation. The functionality of metaphor in biblical language points to the interpretive value of polyvalency. The impression of unlimited indeterminacy created by the recent emphasis on the active role of the reader, is in a sense misleading since author and reader function as a textual strategy. On the other hand, the actualization of the textual expression as the content of the text by applying the various codes and subcodes. implies a continuous interaction between intentional and extensional approaches. In this respect topics., thematics. Ideological and world structures are operative. Since interpretation and application are not to be separated in a pragmatic context. As is the case with the text of the Bible, there inevitably remains the possibility of multiple interpretations due to the interpreting and applying of the text of the Bible in a concrete situation. Yet this interpretation and appropriation should always be done as comprehension of the text and in continuity with the tradition.
