Some 2,000 research fellows, grad­ uate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's international staff in cooperative study, training, and research. They examine major issues related to population, resources and development, the environment, culture, and communication in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center was established in 1960 by the United States Congress, which provides principal funding. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agencies and corporations. Kurosawa's Ran: Reception and Interpretation ANN THOMPSON AKIRA KUROSAWA'S Ran (literally, war, riot, or chaos) was chosen as the first film to be shown at the First Tokyo International Film Festival in June 1985, and it opened commercially in Japan to record-breaking busi­ ness the next day. The director did not attend the festivities associated with the premiere, however, and the reception given to the film by Japa­ nese critics and reporters, though positive, was described by a French critic who had been deeply involved in the project as having "something of the air of an official embalming" (Raison 1985, 9).

  • The Andrzej Wajda-Philip Morris Freedom Prize
    The Andrzej Wajda-Philip Morris Freedom Prize By Ron Holloway Spring 1999 Issue of KINEMA Cinema is not just art and entertainment,” said Polish director Andrzej Wajda in dialogue with German colleague Volker Schlöndorff during a program scheduled at the American Academy in Berlin. ”Cinema also has a social, moral, philosophical function. This is often forgotten today.” Asked for further clarification, Wajda answered, without hesitation but on a note of nostalgia: ”Compare today’s cinema with Italian Neorealism, with postwar Swedish and French cinema, and the gap is evident!” Poland’s most acclaimed film director had his reasons for speaking out so directly and without compromise on the banality of contemporary cinema. On the day before, in the Polish Cultural Institute on Alexanderplatz, he had been honored with the American Cinema Foundation Freedom Award -- indeed, the ceremony was most impressive. Guests from the United States and Poland, among them Agnieszka Holland, Wajda’s favourite collaborator on screenplays, were present. Moreover, the occasion marked the founding of the new ”Andrzej Wajda -- Philip Morris Freedom Prize,” to be awarded annually to a promising filmmaker from Central or Eastern Europe, in whose works are reflected the themes of freedom and democracy. The prize will be awarded together withapurse of $10,000 donated by the Philip Morris Kunstförderung. Each July, during the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, an international jury will select the winner of the Andrzej Wajda Prize. In February, on the occasion of the Freedom Film Festival in Berlin, the prize will be officially awarded to the winner. ”This is not a lifetime achievement award,” says Gary McVey, director of the American Cinema Foundation, ”but a prize in recognition of an exemplary moral and ethical message in the art of the cinema.

  • 29 Th of the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Was Finally Brought Down
    th n the fall of 1989, something happened that many never thought could happen: the IIron Curtain, the sphere of influence and control the Soviet Union maintained over many –29 of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, was finally brought down. Nowhere was that process of liberation more dramatic than in rd Czechoslovakia. Responding to a brutal po- lice suppression of a peaceful protest march, millions of Czechs and Slovaks took to their 23 streets, the final proof (if any were still needed) that the “people’s government” represented The Kind Revolution little more than those who ran it. Within months, Václav Havel, a dissident ` playwright who had become the best-known symbol of resistance to the Soviet-backed re- gime, was elected president of a new, multi-par- ty democracy. Czechoslovakia, which would soon split into separate Czech and Slovak enti- ties, was once again free to carve out its own October path, make its own mistakes, and establish the role of a small nation in the middle of Europe and a rapidly globalizing world.

  • Why Shakespeare? Dennis Kennedy and Yong Li Lan
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-51552-8 - Shakespeare in Asia: Contemporary Performance Edited by Dennis Kennedy and Yong Li Lan Excerpt More information chapter 1 Introduction: Why Shakespeare? Dennis Kennedy and Yong Li Lan This book treats contemporary Shakespeare performance in Asia from theoretical and historical perspectives: it is interested in how and why Shakespeare operates on the stage, in film, and in other performative modes in regions of the world that have no overwhelming reason to turn to him. The essayists represented here offer questions about cultural difference and cultural value, appropriation and dissemination, corporeal and intellectual adaptation, and the ways in which Asia is part of and simultaneously stands aloof from global civilization. Much has happened on planet Shakespeare since 1990. For our purposes the most important development has been a notable increase in Shakespeare performance in surroundings alien to the traditions of the main English-speaking nations, some of which has been exported to the West, prompting corresponding expansion in the international critical attention those productions have received in the popular press and in the academy. The collapse of the former Soviet empire and its satellite states, a major increase in globalized communications and marketing, political and economic migration, busi- ness and touristic travel, and the internationalizing of stock exchanges, among other issues, have combined to make many parts of the world aware of cultural products previously unknown or undervalued, or prompted re-evaluations of work already known. Some of this has been connected to the result of the globalizing of American movies and television, but it has affected Shakespeare as well.

  • Koel Chatterjee Phd Thesis
    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

  • Press Note: Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2016 – Day 2
    Press Note: Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2016 – Day 2 Event: A Fierce Beauty Launch of ‘Goddesses of Kathmandu Valley: Grace, Rage, Knowledge’ by Arun Gupto Kolkata, 15th January, 2016: Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival 2016 hosted the launch of ‘Goddesses of Kathmandu Valley: Grace, Rage, Knowledge’ penned by Arun Gupto. The book was released by Aparna Sen, Award winning filmmaker, screenwriter and actor, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. This book maps the diverse identities of goddesses through metaphors of grace, rage and knowledge, and offers an in-depth insight into femininity, sexual politics, ritual worships, religion, ecology and gender. Grace manifests as motherly sublimity, warring protectors, and varying personifications of sexuality. Rage encapsulates the fearful aspects of goddesses and independent identities of women. Knowledge evokes associations with order, reason and intellect in conflating gendered binaries of body/mind and nature/culture. The volume explores how these deity attributes are expressed and embedded through anthropomorphic as well as inorganic forms of nature, beautiful women, multi-legged and many-armed animals, epistemic selves, demonic beings, glamorous personifications as also grotesque sub-humans. The launch was followed by a captivating discussion with Aparna Sen and Kalyan Ray, writer and Professor of Literature bringing about insights into methodological combination of critical theory, mythological and philosophical concepts, along with religious studies, cultural studies, folklore, art, literature, sociology and gender studies, especially those interested in Nepal and Hinduism. About Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival (AKLF) 2016 Apeejay Kolkata Literary Festival (AKLF) is Kolkata’s pioneering literary festival.

  • Ten Propositions About Munich 1938 on the Fateful Event of Czech and European History – Without Legends and National Stereotypes
    Ten Propositions about Munich 1938 On the Fateful Event of Czech and European History – without Legends and National Stereotypes Vít Smetana The Munich conference of 29–30 September 1938, followed by forced cession of border regions of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany and subsequently also to Poland and Hungary, is unquestionably one of the crucial milestones of Czech and Czecho- slovak history of the 20th century, but also an important moment in the history of global diplomacy, with long-term overlaps and echoes into international politics. In the Czech environment, round anniversaries of the dramatic events of 1938 repeatedly prompt emotional debates as to whether the nation should have put up armed resistance in the autumn of 1938. Such debates tend to be connected with strength comparisons of the Czechoslovak and German armies of the time, but also with considerations whether the “bent backbone of the nation” with all its impacts on the mental map of Europe and the Czech role in it was an acceptable price for saving an indeterminate number of human lives and preserving material assets and cultural and historical monuments and buildings all around the country. Last year’s 80th anniversary of the Munich Agreement was no exception. A change for the better was the attention that the media paid to the situation of post-Munich refugees from the border regions as well as to the fact that the Czechs rejected, immediately after Munich, humanist democracy and started building an authori- tarian state instead.1 The aim of this text is to deconstruct the most widespread 1 See, for example: ZÍDEK, Petr: Po Mnichovu začali Češi budovat diktaturu [The Czechs started building a dictatorship after Munich].
