  • European Doctors in Pre-Colonial India
    Perspectives The truth behind the legend: European doctors in pre-colonial India RAJESH KOCHHAR Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Koramangala, Bangalore 560 034, India (Fax, 91-80-5534043; Email, rkk@ iiap.ernet.in) The aim of this article is to point out that the medical history of India in the seventeenth century needs to be studied for its bearing on the history of medical science in this country. During the period 1644-1717, European physicians in India were sought and pampered by the Indian ruling class. English doctors were able to translate this professional goodwill into concrete commercial concessions for the British East India Company. The concessions gave the Company an edge over its rivals, and, more importantly, gave it a cause to fight for. In consequence, the Company was transformed from a vaishya (trading) organization into a kshatriya (territorial) one. These conclusions warrant a more rigorous professional study of European doctors vis-a-vis their Indian counterparts in the pre-colonial period. 1. Introduction 2. Knowledge of Indian medicine in Europe: the story of Garcia d'Orta We live in an age of cultural Copernicanism (Kochhar 1999). In cosmology the Copernican principle states that The Europeans brought not only syphilis from their ocean the universe has no preferred location or direction. In a voyages but also new remedies. There was a concerted similar fashion, cultural Copernicanism asserts that no attempt to incorporate the traditional knowledge of the cultural, geographical or ethnic area can be deemed to be Americas and the East Indies into the European a benchmark to be used to evaluate and judge others.

  • The Kitchen Presents Yasuko Yokoshi's Reframe the Framework
    Press Contact: Blake Zidell & Associates tel: 718.643.9052 fax: 718.643.9502 [email protected] For Immediate Release The Kitchen presents Yasuko Yokoshi’s Reframe the Framework DDD New York, NY, March 24, 2008—On Thursday, April 24, Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26, The Kitchen presents Bessie award-winning choreographer Yasuko Yokoshi’s new dance work, Reframe the Framework DDD. Yokoshi’s new work considers the complex intersections between inspiration, re- interpretation, and creative process, using David Gordon’s 1984 dance-theater piece, Framework, as a point of departure. Yokoshi revisits Gordon’s influential performance, relating it to the history of post-modern dance as well as to her personal development as a choreographer. Performances will take place at 8:00 P.M. at The Kitchen (512 West 19th Street). Tickets are $12 Developed during an intensive year-and-a-half collaboration with a small group of high-school students from Battleboro, Vermont, this new work—performed by the students—recontextualizes Gordon’s original in the present moment, exploring ideas about generational difference and the reinvention of history. Reframe the Framework DDD features Valda Setterfiled from the original cast of Framework, Genevieve Amarante, Danielle Crouch, Lindsay Crouch, Helga Gardner, Caitlin Greves, Chelsea Hausrath, Andrew Marchev, Sarah McKinney, and Nicole Thomas, as well as sound design by So-ichiro Migita and lighting by Ayumu “Poe” Saegusa. For Reframe the Framework DDD, Yokoshi did extensive research on transformation and progression of postmodern dance. The project rigorously challenges conventions of dance creation and explores how creative development is processed and transformed by questions, observations and acceptance, rather than by answers, definitions and control.
