BY PAN AND FISH TACO Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) plans to drill for oil and lay an oil pipeline in the Samore block of the Arauca state of Colombia, an area that, according to the indigenous U'wa tradition, has been the sacred homeland of their people since the beginning of time. The U'wa have vowed to walk off a 1,400-foot cliff in a mass suicide if their ancestral home is violated. There is good reason to take the threat seriously. Once before, when the Spanish conquistadors came, a large number of U'wa walked over the same cliff. Nonetheless, the Los Angeles-based Oxy corporation continues making plans to drill. Guerrilla warfare always follows oil development in Colombia. Because of guerrilla sabotage, another Occidental oil project, the Canon Limon pipeline, has spilled 1. 7-million barrels of crude oil over the last 11 years, the equivalent of over five Exxon Valdez-size spills. Either by.poisoning their land, destroying their self-sufficient culture or provoking guerilla crossfire or direct attack, the U'wa are certain to be killed by Oxy if this oil project goes ahead. continued ori page 15 "Blood" spilled at Oxy headquarters.

    Sunuþ Çevreden Çýkarak arihsel çevre, doðal çevre, kentsel çevre olarak tanýmlanan ve yeni bir davranýþ Tkavramýný gündeme getiren çevre sözcüðü, evrenimizde insan oðlunun yerleþik düzene geçtiði Neolitik çaðdan bu yana bilinen bir sözcüktür. Zamanýmýzda ileri uygar- lýk düzeyini yakalamýþ zengin ülkeler, II. Dünya savaþýndan sonra çevre kavramýný çeþitli boyutlarý ile tartýþmýþlar ve gerekli koruyucu önlemlerini almýþlardýr. Ülkemizdeki Çevre kavramýna dönecek olursak, bu sözcüðün ve önüne gelen sýfatlarýn ancak çeyrek yüzyýllýk bir geçmiþi olduðunu görürüz. Bugün için çevre kavramýnýn içeriði hala çok kolay bir biçimde tarif edilir. Ancak tanýmýn ayrýntýsýna girildikçe, olayýn hiçte o kadar kolay açýklanamadýðý görülür. Biz arkeologlar için birinci derecede tarihsel çevre kavra- mý önem taþýr. Çünkü tarihsel çevremizin yaþamýmýzda bize vereceði dersleri, tercihleri ve davranýþ biçimlerimizi akýlcý bir yöntemle belirlememize olanak verir. Bu oluþumda dikkat edilecek olan ilkler arasýnda somut ve soyut kültür varlýklarýmýzý en iyi bir biçimde koruma bilincinin küçük yaþlardan itibaren toplumumuza verilmesi, saðlýklý bilgilerle uluslarýn kendi özgün kültürleri olabileceðini ve bunlar içinde korunmasý gerekli olan taþýnýr ve taþýnmaz kültür varlýklarýnýn da olabileceðini komplekslerden arýnarak öðret- memiz, bir yurttaþlýk görevi olmalýdýr. Bu öðreti o ülkenin kültürel yaþam kalitesini ortaya koymada en büyük etmendir. Kültürel yaþamýn oluþmasýnda geçmiþin ne denli önemli olduðunu görmemek bizce onarýlmasý olanaksýz bir yanýlgýdýr. Ülkemizde son çeyrek yüzyýlda geniþ halk kitlelerince kabul gören bu yeni taným, geçmiþimizin geleceðe ne kadar etkin olduðunu az da olsa öðretme becerisini yakalayabilmiþtir. Ancak Türkiye'nin plansýz ve ileriye dönük kurgularýnýn yapýlmaksýzýn baþlatýlan sanayileþme dönemi, kültürel varlýklarýmýzýn bilinçsizce kýyýmýna sebep olabilmiþtir. Son günlerde (Aralýk 2001 ve Ocak 2002) ülkemiz medyasýnda ve TBMM. genel kurulunda tartýþýlan bir konu ile "Tarihsel Çevre" Türkiye gündemine oturmuþtur.

  • Thoughts on Libertarian Municipalism
    Thoughts on Libertarian Municipalism Murray Bookchin Age, chronic illnesses, and the summer heat oblige me to remain at home—hence I am very sorry that I cannot participate in your conference on libertarian municipalism. I would like, however— thanks to Janet Biehl, who will read these remarks—to welcome you to Vermont and to wish you well during the course of your discussions over the next three days. Some issues have recently arisen in discussions of libertarian municipalism, and I would like to offer my views on them. One of the most important involves the distinction that should be drawn between libertarian municipalism and communitarianism, a distinction that is often lost in discussions of politics. Communitarianism By communitarianism, I refer to movements and ideologies that seek to transform society by creating so-called alternative economic and living situations such as food cooperatives, health centers, schools, printing workshops, community centers, neighborhood farms, “squats,” unconventional lifestyles, and the like. Allowing for the works of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, the notable spokespersons of communitarianism have been Martin Buber, Harry Boyte, and Colin Ward, among many others. The word communitarian is often interchangeable with the word cooperative, a form of production and exchange that is attractive because the work is not only amiably collective but worker-controlled or worker-managed. At most, communitarianism seeks to gently edge social development away from privately owned enterprises—banks, corporations, supermarkets, factories, and industrial systems of agriculture —and the lifeways to which they give rise, into collectively owned enterprises and values. It does not seek to create a power center that will overthrow capitalism; it seeks rather to outbid it, outprice it, or outlast it, often by presenting a moral obstacle to the greed and evil that many find in a bourgeois economy.

  • 1 Jess Rudolph Shogi
    Jess Rudolph Shogi – the Chess of Japan Its History and Variants When chess was first invented in India by the end of the sixth century of the current era, probably no one knew just how popular or wide spread the game would become. Only a short time into the second millennium – if not earlier – chess was being played as far as the most distant lands of the known world – the Atlantic coast of Europe and Japan. All though virtually no contact existed for centuries to come between these lands, people from both cultures were playing a game that was very similar; in Europe it was to become the chess most westerners know today and in Japan it was shogi – the Generals Game. Though shogi has many things in common with many other chess variants, those elements are not always clear because of the many differences it also has. Sadly, how the changes came about is not well known since much of the early history of shogi has been lost. In some ways the game is more similar to the Indian chaturanga than its neighboring cousin in China – xiangqi. In other ways, it’s closer to xiangqi than to any other game. In even other ways it has similarities to the Thai chess of makruk. Most likely it has elements from all these lands. It is generally believed that chess came to Japan from China through the trade routs in Korea in more than one wave, the earliest being by the end of tenth century, possibly as early as the eighth.
