  • Traces in the Dark
    Imaginary Archive Gregory Sholette-01 The archive: if we want to know what this will have meant, we will only know tomorrow. Perhaps. — Jacques Derrida IMAGINARY ARCHIVE There is something appealing and strangely seductive about half-forgotten places like the bookstore that in 2009 was still located inside the George Washington Bridge bus transfer station at 178th Street in Manhattan. For one thing, the store seemed hard at work repelling rather than attracting potential customers. Pulsing with a cold, blue-tinged florescent light, its sparse goods - books, magazines, some tourist souvenirs, and a few music CDs - were arranged haphazardly on rusted wire display stands or stacked edge-to-edge, rather than cover-to-cover, in order to fill up the available display shelves that sag at their centers, as if there was simply too much store in relation to its merchandise. Some of these shelves shed a powdery dust consisting of an unknown synthetic material that was supposed to resemble wood. Up near the stained drop ceiling hung hand-written signs scrawled in over-sized marker. ALL ITEMS HALF PRICE. FINAL SALE. COMPUTER BOOKS TWO FOR $10. But it is the books and other printed materials themselves that reflect the kind of curious neglect found at forsaken archeological sites. With titles like Aqueous Dynamics for the Hobbyist, Field Guide to the Soviet Union, Cobalt for Beginners, or Lobster Boy: An Amazing True Story, one cannot help but wonder just who these authors were, what became of their careers, and if anyone other than family members ever read their books? A similar set of questions applies to the all but unaccred- ited men and women who designed the covers of these forgotten volumes.

  • Sustainable Resin Tapping in Nepal: Challenges and Opportunities (A Case from Salyan District)
    Sustainable Resin Tapping in Nepal: Challenges and Opportunities (A case from Salyan District) Dhananjaya Paudyal1 Abstract This paper attempts to explore a case from Salyan district on resin tapping and its contribution to local and national economy. Resin tapping and its related activities like extraction, collection and transportation are one of the major sources of employment for a large number of rural poor people. Based on the quantity of resin collected and exported outside the district, revenue is generated to central as well as local government and Community Forest User Groups (CFUGs). In the mean time, some issues and challenges have been identified at local level regarding the sustainability of resin tapping. It, therefore, concludes that some practical measures are necessary to overcome the issues and challenges so that resin tapping could be done in a sustainable manner. Sources of information of this paper are records of District Forest Office and rosin companies and net surfing as secondary sources; field observation, interviews with CFUGs and resin collectors as primary sources. Key Words: Pine forests, Resin tapping, Sustainability, Revenue, Employment, Nepal Introduction Nepal is rich in biodiversity, both flora and fauna, at ecosystem, species and genetic level. Within a span of about 200 km (North-South), more than 10,000 different flowering and non- flowering plant species are found. Among them, important Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) are medicinal and aromatic plants, resin, lokta paper, katha and Kutch, sabai grass, bamboo and cane. Resin gums are obtained from chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) and blue pine (Pinus wallichiana). Only chir pine can be tapped economically, as a chir pine tree yields about 3 to 6 kilograms annually.

    Petra Vogt Archive with Bardo Matrix Press and Ira Cohen in Kathmandu, Nepal, ca. 1970s Photograph of Petra Cohen attributed to Ira Cohen. Kathmandu, Nepal. [ca. 1970s]. Description of the Collection Petra Vogt (b. Nov. 7, 1943 in Berlin, Germany) is a poet, actress, artist, and model, known for her involvement with The Living Theatre, Ira Cohen, and Bardo Matrix Press during the 1960s and 1970s. Living in Kathmandu from approx. 1972 to 1978, Vogt pursued her art and poetry, while participating in creative work with partner Cohen as well as Nepali hippies including Jimmy Thapa and Trilochan Shrestha, and the Kathmandu expatriate community including Angus and Hetty MacLise, Dana Young, John Chick, Charles Henri Ford, and others. While Vogt illustrated works for Starstreams and Bardo Matrix, and published her poetry in magazines like Angus MacLise's Ting Pa, her creative output in this era far exceeds her publications. This is the first archive with significant materials that illuminate her own life and work, as well as provide important insights into the Kathmandu scene—including Bardo Matrix Press and the Spirit Catcher Bookshop. The collection features approx. 34 journals, 150 artworks, 864 photographs by Ira Cohen, and over 60 items of correspondence, offering us substantial perspective on her creative practices and participation within the community. Photographs of her in Nepal in the 1970s were featured in a recent Photo Kathmandu festival in 2018. She continues to participate in creative and spiritual life today with various theater-oriented, poetic, and artistic projects under a different name.
