The key elements to build this system include internationalizing RMB\, building an international financial center\, and making Chinese capital market one of the most important global asset allocation destinations. Focusing on the capital market\, there is still a huge gap between China’s ideal capital market and the current market. To bridge this gap\, the Chinese government needs to reconfigure the reform\, open up the stock and bond market\, and change the regulations and related laws.\n\nProfessor WU Xiaoqiu is a renowned economist and financial securities expert in China. He currently serves as Vice President of Renmin University of China\, Executive Deputy Dean of Graduate School\, and Director of Finance and Securities Institute in China.

Ozu's consciousness of form extends beyond camera level and the construction of space recognized by prior authors to the signifying power of the intertitle as a form of “visual speech.” In the presentation\, Raine will provide an historical context for Ozu’s engagement with the intertitle and then survey his changing usage\, in particular in the late silent films from Woman of Tokyo (Tokyo no onna\, 1933) to College is a Nice Place (Daigaku yoi toko\, 1936\, lost). He argues that we can tease out a succession of aesthetic projects in these films: first\, an exploration of the properties of intertitle syntax and frequency in the films of 1933 and then a heretofore unrecognized exploitation of the “sound version” (films with music and sometimes sound effects and speech\, but no synchronized dialog) to silence the bathos of benshi narration and create subtle\, synaesthetic effects that we might liken to visual repartee. \n \nMichael Raine is an Assistant Professor at the film studies department of Western University\, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in film studies from the University of Iowa and has taught Japanese Cinema and World Cinema at Yale University and the University of Chicago. He has published on a wide range of topics in Japanese cinema and has subtitled approximately 60 films for classes\, commercial release\, and the Udine film festival. His research interests lie in the transition to sound in Japanese cinema\, wartime image culture\, and the Japanese new wave.

Sometimes however\, we have a cascade of crises\, but natural and cultural\, and this has been such a year in the Western Indian Ocean. In this talk\, Dr. Wright will begin with a project driven by a natural crisis: the loss of important coastal sites to the increasingly rapid rise in sea level in the Comorian Archipelago. Then he will move on to modern cultural crisis in archaeology in Madagascar\, driven by economic deficits and national politics\, but effecting the research of but Malagasy archaeology students and visiting foreign researchers\, as well as Madagascar's national heritage collections. In spite of the difficulties\, he and his colleagues have made good progress this year on issues of dealing with fragile marginal environments\, ancient trade systems\, and the first steps toward the emergence of states.

Previous research has largely focused on how personality characteristics affect cultural adaptation in the host country. In this project we extend previous research by measuring the influence of the social context\, specifically the heterogeneity of the host country’s inhabitants. We predicted that individuals would have an easier time adapting to historically more heterogeneous contexts. In Studies 1 and 2\, we used publicly available data to test whether heterogeneity influences cultural adaptation of International Business Students and Peace Corps volunteers. In Study 2\, we experimentally manipulated heterogeneity and tested whether individuals anticipated adapting more in hypothetical work assignments that were in historically heterogeneous locations. Across both studies we found support for our hypothesis that greater historical heterogeneity is associated with higher levels of cultural adaptation. Implications for acculturation and immigration will be discussed.
