{"title":"Capturing the World: Exhibition Trophies, Ethnography, and Displays of Imperial Power","authors":"Amy Woodson-Boulton","doi":"10.1017/jbr.2025.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/jbr.2025.15","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Exhibition trophies have become invisible to most people reading about and looking at images of the great world’s fairs. This is not surprising; trophies have fallen out of our awareness because they, and the criticisms they provoked, have received surprisingly little scholarly attention. This article reveals not only this largely overlooked form, but also just how much cultural work they were doing and why so many people found them disturbing. Exhibition trophies became a solution to the nineteenth-century design problem of representing progress, imperial power, extractive superabundance, control of the natural world, and industrial capacity. Nineteenth-century exhibitors and collectors made trophies out of a wide array of commodities, animals, raw materials, manufactured goods, weapons, and “primitive” objects. But by carrying with them ancient connotations of high-minded victory and violence, exhibition trophies also inspired criticisms that got to the heart of modern forms of conquest. Divisive in the middle of the nineteenth century, trophies were ubiquitous by the turn of the twentieth. Meanwhile a new, rival way of displaying imperial power emerged that challenged ethnographic trophies in particular: the new science of anthropology. This article begins to recover this lost form and its implications—from disquiet to the acceptance of abundance (even overabundance) as a collective goal.</p>","PeriodicalId":46738,"journal":{"name":"Journal of British Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144769872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Japanese self-praise has rarely been investigated, particularly in online communication. In addition, few studies have examined self-praise from a cross-cultural pragmatics perspective. Therefore, this study compares Chinese and Japanese self-praise on social media, based on 300 instances of Chinese self-praise on Weibo and 300 instances of Japanese self-praise on Twitter. The findings show that the Chinese and Japanese netizens both produced three categories of self-praise: explicit self-praise without modification, modified explicit self-praise, and implicit self-praise, in the same order of decreasing frequency. The Chinese netizens most frequently employed the modified explicit self-praise strategies “disclaimer”, “praise from a third party”, and “referring to the group”, while their Japanese counterparts preferred the modified explicit self-praise strategy “change of praise focus” and the implicit strategy “self-praise as sharing”. The study discusses the similarities and differences between these two groups’ social media self-praise, particularly with regard to the affordances of social media and pragmatic norms in the two cultures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16899,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pragmatics","volume":"246 ","pages":"Pages 219-231"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144771401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have shown that advanced L2 learners’ language use demonstrates greater ASC diversity, less frequent ASC-verb combinations, and stronger ASC-verb associations. However, these investigations have been limited by methodological challenges in identifying ASCs and have predominantly focused on the written texts. To address these limitations, we employ a fine-tuned model to automatically extract ASCs from target and reference corpora, considering their semantic aspects. We then calculate ASC-based indices and, both alone and in combination with other lexicogrammatical indices, use them to predict L2 oral proficiency scores assigned by human judges. Our findings show that ASC-based indices alone explain 44% of the variance in scores. When combined with other indices, they provide complementary insights that enhance multivariate modeling of L2 oral proficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":22008,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Second Language Acquisition","volume":"733 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144769884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the subsequent gambling process, theta synchronization decreased following positive feedback in English relative to that in Chinese, suggesting reduced emotional impacts on subsequent decision-making in the foreign-language context. This language difference correlated with that in alpha activity in positive feedback encoding and with that in the proportion of \"play\" choices following positive feedback.

As scholars who have greatly benefited from the early-career series, both as participants and organizers, we are deeply grateful to AIP for its generous and unwavering support. Thanks to funding from the AIP and other sponsors, the costs of travel and accommodation can be mostly or completely covered for all attendees. Their support has transformed the Early-Career Conference into an increasingly global event. After hosting the first three installments, AIP encouraged, fully supported, and sponsored the organization of additional conferences in San Sebastián/Donostia in 2018 and Copenhagen in 2023. Appropriately, the theme of the Copenhagen conference was “Crossing Borders and Fostering Collaborations.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Copenhagen Early-Career Conference was hosted by the Niels Bohr Archive, and the speakers gave their talks in the historic Auditorium A of the Niels Bohr Institute. In addition to the AIP, the conference was sponsored by the Inter-Union Commission for the History and Philosophy of Physics and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, which awarded the first Early Career Prize for the History of Physics. We are proud to present a paper by the inaugural prize-winner, &lt;b&gt;Jean-Philippe Martinez&lt;/b&gt;, in this issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Martinez examines how and why the concept of virtual particles, formulated by Feynman in the 1940s, became a matter of debate only in the 1970s. Discussing the phenomenological basis that Feynman disposed of for the formulation of the concept and the emergence of the first criticism in the 1970s, he argues that the concept of virtual particles came under scrutiny in the context of increasing opposition to quantum electrodynamics rather than as a result of a reassessment of the unusual characteristics ascribed to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This circulation of knowledge, and the factors that promote, facilitate, or hinder circulation, emerged as a central theme of the conference and thus of the articles featured in this volume. In particular, transnational transfers, which are processes through which elements, norms, or representations from one nation emerge in another, appear repeatedly. These processes involve not only the translation of texts but also the movement of people, objects, and practices. Scientists traveling to international conferences, exchange visits, the dispersal of specialized instruments and materials, and the adaptation of experimental methods all illustrate this concept.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps no other objects embody the complex, multilayered nature of knowledge circulation more than the Babylonian tablets. The paper by &lt;b&gt;Erica L. Meszaros&lt;/b&gt; illustrates how there is no such thing as a simple translation of knowledge.

However, the interplay of key factors influencing the actual use of these technologies among this demographic remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationships between second language (L2) motivation, performance expectancy, and L2 grit in shaping the use behavior of translation technologies, focusing on their direct and mediating effects. Using data from 554 juniors and seniors from six universities, the study reveals that L2 motivation significantly predicts performance expectancy, L2 grit, and use behavior. Performance expectancy directly influenced L2 grit, both of which subsequently affected the use behavior. They also mediate the relationship between L2 motivation and use behavior, with significant sequential mediation involving both factors. The results highlight the importance of motivational and cognitive factors in optimizing translation technology use, offering valuable insights for educators and technology developers aiming to support English-related majors in multilingual and globalized contexts.","PeriodicalId":47852,"journal":{"name":"Language Teaching Research","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
