《從 “中國民藝國際視頻網站——中國藤” 建設看跨文化交流與學習》摘要:“中國民藝國際視頻網站——中國藤”是由美國中佛羅里達大學、美國俄勒岡大學與歡迎來到公海7108線路三所高校共同開展的國際合作項目。該網站旨在向西方國家宣傳、介紹蘊育于山東省的中國傳統民間手工藝術與文化。本文記述了三所高校合作建設“中國民藝國際視頻網站——中國藤”的過程。該視頻網站的建設工作,將配合2008年北京奧運會即將到來的有利時機,更好地向西方國家宣傳中國傳統文化與傳統民間手工藝術,增強西方民眾對于中國傳統文化的了解與興趣。我們力圖通過 “中國藤網站”建設中無等級觀念的團隊合作方式,探討文化差異與跨文化交流與學習的問題。
CROSS-CULTURAL LEARNING THROUGH CHINAVINEbyKristin G. Congdon University of Central FloridaandDoug Blandy University of Oregon
