Settlement Systems

At the beginning of the Christian era, potterymaking groups started occupying the southern region of Brazil (the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná: FIGURE 1), their origins closely related to former inhabitants, mainly hunters and gatherers. Two major groups are recognized, from the hundreds of identified sites. Vestiges of the first, dispersed in settlements in the southernmost area and in the low savanna landscape, show that settlers of mounds — cerritos — were nomadic, their economy based on hunting, fishing and gathering. In the second, dispersed in the plateau and along adjacent coastal plains, settlers depended on gathering; at least in a few areas and in more recent periods they were sedentary, with the rudiments of more complex social and political patterns. The two settlement systems are in very different environmental, cultural and temporal contexts. Current research takes a normative view of culture, in which pottery has a place of honour and is classified by archaeological ‘traditions’ and ‘phases’. Yet both groups present pottery industries rather matched in time and space, obscuring evidence of internal differentiation or cultural change processes.

The pottery from the sites of the Tchefuncte period has been classified into a number of different types. As used by us, the type is a kind of average of an arbitrarily limited range of overlapping traits which have been abstracted from whole vessels and sherds that appear to be similar. Typology is checked against stratigraphy and stratigraphy against typology, to determine the utility of the type as an indicator of cultural change in time and space. Following are descriptions of the pottery types found in sites of the Tchefuncte period.Paste.—Method of Manufacture: Coiled. Sherds break readily along coil junctions. Flattened coils average 3-4 cm. wide.Tempering: Angular particles of clay. Small amount of fine sand. There are occasionally small particles of carbonized vegetal material and rarely bits of red ochre.Texture: Clay of paste is very fine. Clay was very poorly wedged, and this feature, added to the large angular tempering particles, gives a laminated and contorted appearance to cross sections of sherds. Surfaces have been floated and are soft and chalky.

This study to look at the changes the meaning of Singo Barong in the context of the past as understood by the public Cirebon in the present. In the time, the train experienced a period of transit which to change the context in which the material or object of art will have meaning. As a result of the frequent occurrence of changes in the context of the meanings are often subject to change. It is an art object in transition, experiencing a change of meaning as a result of changes in context. Change of meaning will evoke an emotional response when crossing cultural boundaries. Reading of documents or artifacts that are relevant necessary to achieve a deeper meaning and detail. Therefore anthropological perspective that links production and consumption of artifacts are not separated from the question of the culture, politics, religion and others. Borrowing the theory of "processual relativism" Svasek will bring an understanding of the art material in a different time and space. At least not with borrowed this theory will be obtained the values ​​behind the train characteristics. By finding the characteristics at a certain time and space will be acquired meaning, then what meaning it will be reviewed and compared. Such way of thinking is more easy to see the socio-cultural change at both the pattern of thought or social institutions Kasepuhan Cirebon palace. Singo Barong train its existence is equivalent to other objects stored in the Museum Kasepuhan Cirebon, such as gamelan, batik cloth, weapons, and so forth. Artifacts have the same weight value when used as a tool in the ritual. But the context has a different meaning, is associated with the constituent. From time to time, the meaning is changed, both in social and cultural areas. Religious meaning at the time of the kings was in power changed the fulfillment of the ritual or ceremonial, then change as the fulfillment of the economy and tourism.

Economic Well Being

As technological inventions and innovations are bewildering the human mind, destroying barriers between peoples, cultures, time and space, globalization trends are sweeping civilizations, nations, nationalisms and other ethnic narrow circles. The winds of human revolutions overwhelm governments, leaders and citizens in pursuit of a better world, based on human freedoms and rights, economic well-being, peace and sustainable ecosystem. This positive cultural change is subjected to many obstacles and much dichotomy, whereby some do promote a negatively extreme pole of violence, terror and death. The objective of this research is to deeply explore the inner venues of both trends, embraced by a new breed of international mangers, leaders, and further determine their impact upon the birth of a world culture, primarily adopted by international businesses. The proposed methodology of research relies, primarily on data gathering from many thinkers and organizations aiming at laying a possible foundation for promoting intercultural management between Europe and the Middle Eastern countries.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The primary variables in directed cross-cultural change.
