This chapter discusses Statius’ celebration of the beauty and serenity of Campania felix in contrast with Rome in Silv. 3.5. It demonstrates how the poet slyly enhances his assurances to his wife that their cultivated but modest daughter will find a more suitable husband in Naples by a series of witty intertextual allusions to Ovid’s Ars Amatoria to contrast Neapolitan refinement with the lascivious pleasures of the Roman theatre and Circus Maximus. The cultural fusion of Naples merges harmoniously with the refined complexity of Flavian poetry. A network of ingenious intertextual allusion draws together Virgil’s narrative of Hercules entering Evander’s humble cottage and Statius’ Hercules who accepts modest hospitality, but appreciates the opulent temple built by Pollius (Silv. 3.1).

AbstractA proliferation of popular music genres flourished in post-independence Nigeria: highlife, jùjú, Afrobeat, and fújì. Originating within Yorùbá Muslim communities, the genres of fújì and Islamic are Islamised dance music genres characterised by their Arabic-influenced vocal style, Yorùbá praise poetry, driving percussion, and aesthetics of incorporation, flexibility, and cultural fusion. Based on analysis of interviews and performances in Ìlọrin in the 2010s, this article argues that the genres of fújì and Islamic allegorise Nigerian unity—an ideology of tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and equity—while exposing the gap between the aspiration for unity and everyday inequities shaped by gender and morality.

Cultural Fusion

Abstract Using principles of Cultural Fusion Theory (Croucher & Kramer, 2017), this study focuses on representations of Syrian refugees in mainstream Turkish newspapers to determine: (a) how the host culture media portrays newcomers; and (b) what the implications of these portrayals are in terms of an effective cultural fusion between the two communities. The study entailed content analysis of five Turkish newspapers. A keyword search of the words Syrian (Suriyeli) and refugee (mülteci) were entered into the archives of these newspapers. The search yielded a total of 2,887 news articles and 373 commentary items. The results display the significance of Cultural Fusion Theory principles and challenges that exist to achieve effective cultural fusion.

Cultural Fusion

Cultural fusion is the process of integrating new information and generating new cultural forms. Cultural fusion theory recognizes the world as a churning information environment of cultural legacies, competing and complementing one another, forming novel cultural expressions in all aspects of life, including music, cuisine, pedagogy, legal systems, governance, economic behavior, spirituality, healthcare, norms of personal and interpersonal style, family structures, and so forth. This is a process of pan-evolution, involving countless channels, not merely two cultures coming together to form a third, hybrid culture. During this process the traditional pace and form of change is itself changing. Cultures are also transformed as a result of the churning process of an emergent global semantic field generated by countless networked exchanges.
