外商投资

经济全球化，以及外商投资对中国的影响。1978至1996年间，许多企业的拥有权发生了变化，乡镇企业的迅速发展，个体户的建立都可与国营企业抗争了。

路上飞车战

与澳洲新浪潮或是复兴时期的电影不同，1979年拍摄的Mad Max, 第一集，路上，是充满暴力的动作片，和男性主宰社会，或是国家标志有关。

印第安人的冬节

人类学家用结构分析法来解释不同的社会结构产生不同的文化行为，北美的印第安部落，不同的部落有不同的社会结构，因为他们的婚姻法则不同，导致他们的冬节的主题内容不同。有一种理论认为，冬节是为了取代战事，平缓部落间的纷争，维持和谐的一种方式。

劳工变化与直接投资

今天讲改革下的劳工变化，因为国营企业是个重头，一旦大批人员下岗，给社会带来变化，给人民的生活带来变化，接着看美国人如何在中国直接投资，。。。

晃岩下的野餐

Picnic at hanging rock, 这是一部不同寻常的电影，一群花季少女在传统的女子私校禁固得太久，她们渴望自由，当她们投身到大自然中时，她们好象全身心地解放了。人们在打破旧体系时，也完全可以创造新的神话。

努阿部落与牛

人类学家实地考察的结果之一就是写人种志，读伊万斯的苏丹努阿人的生活，这个游牧部落以放牛为生，与牛朝夕相处，牛是他们生活的全部，从社会关系，到文化活动，甚至日常会话，都离不开牛的话题。

沃尔玛带来了什么

美国沃尔玛市场的低价商品大多来自中国廉价劳动力的生产，自改革开放以来，中国人的铁饭碗被打破了，。。。由此看来，沃尔玛的进入中国并不是一件好事，但它又给中国带来了巨大的工作机会，使许多人在制造业就业，又是一件好事，看来任何事情都是有好有坏的。

六十年代的故事

六十年代澳洲的艺术状态是跟随现代潮流，当时最现代派的建筑为维多利亚州的艺术博物馆，一批公共场所的雕塑也显示出现代风格，由于现代的材料，利用玻璃多了，当然在那个时代，一切的改变心皆因社会的变化，环境的变化。

鸳鸯合气

As early as the Jin dynasty, mandarin ducks were described as birds of loyalty and deep love. Mandarin ducks are never separated from each other. They fly together swim together, touch each other in the wings when perching, and have their necks crossed when sleeping. If a partner dies, the other will stay single the rest of his life. This devotion serves as a perfect illustration of what husband and wife should be like according to traditional Chinese value.

实地考察

任何一种文化，如果不是该文化内部成员，或是不长期生活在那个文化的社会之中，是很难得到理解的。人类学的研究方法之一就是深入实地进行考察，这种考察可能是几年，与考察地的居民共同生活，以得到第一手资料，。。。

全球化的政治挑战

中国从邓1978年开始的经济改革开放，提出白猫黑猫论，开始带着全国上下脱离毛的思想路线，从阶级斗争转向了经济现代化，要让人民的生活好起来。领导人把改革开放看作是社会主义的初级阶段，主要目标是经济发展，。。。

剪贴拼出来的艺术

七十年代，城郊的通俗文化好象居民点似地，东拼西凑，悉尼内城区的通俗文化步美国通俗文化的后尘，或是说摹仿，当时几个Annadale Imitation Realists 展出了一些据说是如同废旧物品展览，有人称它是市郊原始主义，废物文化，混乱的形象。

安居乐业

To enjoy one's life and take delight in what one does for a living originated from the works of Laozi. Laozi envisioned a society where the people were so contented with their lives, clothes, customs, and work that they had no communication at all with their neighboring state till death even though they were just a stone's throw away. The concept now mainly emphasizes the abundance of spiritual and material life in a peaceful society.

受宠的象

In traditional Chinese culture, the elephant is a symbol of fortune and good luck, and signals prosperity and tranquility. Ancient Chinese literature associates the elephant with the moralistic ruling of the emperor, unity of the people, and a peaceful world.

龙凤呈祥

The dragon and the phoenix are the largest legendary animals in Chinese folklore. As the head of all living creatures, the dragon stands for authority and dignity and represents male supremacy. As the senior of all birds, the phoenix stands for beauty and love and represents female supremacy. Marriage is often described as an event of happy and fortunate combination of the dragon with the phoenix, a metaphor of sincere wishes for a good life. Ming dynasty records tell about the nine sons of the dragon: all had different capabilities. Images of the nine creatures are frequently used in architecture or utensils. All nine were born with extraordinary skills and each later fulfilled significant achievements.

万代常春

“Bottle gourds" sound similar to "happiness and fortune" in Chinese while "vines on a plant"reads like "thousands of generations of offsprings"in Chinese pronunciation. Pomegranates bear a lot of seeds and bottle gourds have vines. They are both symbols of a large number of offsprings in images of happiness. Chinese roses or ever-green roses bloom all year round and have won such titles as queen of flowers. The idiom originates from a poem by Du Fu of the Tang dynasty. In the poem, he described the beauty of the spring season by focusing on the profoundly intoxicating scent of peach blossoms that are either pink, scarlet, or even fiery, displaying the unique liveliness of spring to its fullness, which implies a wish for the long-lasting beauty of spring on earth.

托岛板球

看了新巴布亚几内亚Trobriand岛上的土著居民们把英国殖民期带入的板球运动加以了更新，加进了祭祀、舞蹈等动作，变成了一种别具特色、充满活力的仪式，且把板球这种英国文化变成了他们的新文化（Trobriand cricket），部落之间的球赛更象是一场战争，以体育运动来取代战争，缓解人与人之间、部落与部落之间的。

中国的全球化

中国与全球化，似乎很多人对中国的全球化特别关注。中国加入了世界贸易组织，卫生组织，中国的经济高速发展，市场经济活跃，麦当劳等快餐连锁店遍地开花，连手工艺品都有用可口可乐罐头编织的庙宇，这一切是否说明中国已经在全球化的范畴之中了？
