  • Bios the Cast Timothy Leary Ram Dass Dr. Andrew Weil
    BIOS THE CAST TIMOTHY LEARY In the early 1960s Harvard psychology professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert began probing the edges of consciousness through their experiments with psychedelics. Leary became the LSD guru, challenging convention, questioning authority and as a result spawned a global counter culture movement landing in prison after Nixon called him “the most dangerous man in America”. RAM DASS Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert, April 6, 1931) is an American contemporary spiritual teacher and the author of the seminal 1971 book ‘Be Here Now’. DR. ANDREW WEIL Dr. Andrew Weil is a physician, author, professor and one of the world’s preeminent media celebrities in the field of medicine and personal growth. He is a long-time advocate for both Western medicine and alternative therapies. Dr. Weil graduated from Harvard University where he was also an undergraduate reporter for the Harvard Crimson. His investigative journalism led to Leary & Alpert’s dismissal from Harvard and the unraveling of their University studies in the use of psychoactive drugs for medical research and treatments. HUSTON SMITH Smith’s book “The World’s Religions” has sold over two million copies and remains a popular introduction to comparative religion. Smith, through his friendship with Aldous Huxley, met Leary and Alpert and others at the Center for Personality Research at Harvard. There, Smith was one of the active participants in Leary and Alpert’s early experiments, particularly “the Good Friday Experiment.” He termed the experiments “empirical metaphysics. His book, “Cleansing the Doors of Perception,” describes his experiences. Smith has both studied and practiced Christianity, mysticism, Vedanta, Zen Buddhism and Sufi Islam.

These are not merely per­ sonal concerns for Cohen, they are dimensions of the world that he tries to understand as a poet, singer, and thinker. Now it's something of a cliche to see the modern romantic or post-romantic singer or poet in terms of personal strug­ gles, failures, triumphs, and reversals. Poets sometimes re­ spond by adopting elusive, ironic, enigmatic, or parodic voices: think, in their different ways, of Bob Dylan and Anne Carson. Yet Cohen has always worn his heart on his sleeve or some less clothed part of his body: he let us know, for ex­ ample, that Janis Joplin gave him head in the Chelsea hotel while their celebrity limos were waiting outside.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

I’m slightly ashamed that I have a sprig of jasmine purloined from Leonard Cohen’s Hydra garden pressed between the pages of that first novel, The Favourite Game, and five little seedlings from the bergamot lemon that I scrumped from the branch that overhung his terrace wall. On my writing desk, I have a tiny bottle of Charmian Clift’s scent – Ma Grife – of the correct vintage, which has been a heavenly prompt for bringing her to my pages and is thanks to my friend the NO ONE HAD writer Damian Barr, who tracked it down when I was snify about EVER HEARD the smell of the modern version.

The mirror is Cartier silver and given to her because, Cohen said, no face had ever given him greater pleasure. The key is tiny, presented to him by McGill University as a mark of his time as president of the debating society. He told her it was the key to his heart. Despite it all, I still yearned for the “queer feeling of guilty pleasure” that finding the knife might aford me.

    Siân Adiseshiah University of Lincoln, UK [email protected] The unbridgeable bridge to utopia: Howard Brenton’s Greenland Written and performed just after Thatcher’s third election victory in Britain in 1987, Howard Brenton’s Greenland is an isolated example durinG this period of a Left playwright’s attempts to represent utopia on staGe. Unlike the savaGely satirical approaches of other Left plays around the same time, such as Brenton and David Hare’s Pravda and Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money (both sardonic travesties of the riGht-winG press and the City of London in Thatcher’s Britain) Greenland attempts to reconstruct a utopian future. The second act of Greenland partially resembles a utopian space usually encountered in a conventional utopian narrative, and in doinG so, has led some commentators to dismiss the play as tedious and lackinG in dramatic interest. Its lack of conflict and the contentment of its inhabitants have led to it being described as static and dull. This interpretation has brouGht with it a readinG that concurs with the character, Severan-Severan, whose view is that misery and sufferinG are essential to the human condition and that liberation is a living death. However, this approach neglects a more complex engagement with utopia that can be traced in the play. Spectators of the play - along with the non-utopian character, Joan - respond to Greenland in a way that can be illuminated by Frederic Jameson’s idea of the ‘terror of obliteration’. This paper will explore ways in which Greenland exposes psycho-political barriers to utopia, barriers that frame the spectator’s view of the play, and it will also reveal ways in which bridGes to utopia are constantly at stake.

    Apokalypse En analyse av Hariton Pushwagners maleri Jobkill i lys av popkunstens estetikk Linda Ottosen Bekkevold Masteroppgave i kunsthistorie Institutt for idé - og kunsthistorie og klassiske språk UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Høst 2014 II Apokalypse En analyse av Pushwagners maleri Jobkill (1990) i lys av popkunstens estetikk. III © Linda O. Bekkevold 2014 Apokalypse Linda O. Bekkevold http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Sammendrag Pushwagner blir ofte omtalt som popkunstner og Norges svar på Andy Warhol (1923-1987) og Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997). Sammenligningen begrunnes med hans benyttelse av tegneserieestetikk. Med stiliserte former og fargeflater. Dette er en gjenkjennende karakteristikk av den amerikanske popkunsten klisjéfylte tegneserieuttrykk. Denne oppfatningen nevnes ofte i en bisetning uten at det foreligger noen kunsthistorisk analyse som har undersøkt dette. Pushwagner samarbeidet med den norske forfatteren Axel Jensen (1932- 2002) på 1960-tallet, og sammen skapte de et tegneserieunivers som skulle bli grunnlaget for Pushwagners kunstnerskap. På 1970-tallet og 1980-tallet arbeidet de med flere utkast og upubliserte bokprosjekter som ble utviklet til billedromanen Soft City, silketrykkserien En dag i familien Manns liv og malerifrisen Apokalypse. I denne avhandlingen søker jeg svar på hvordan Pushwagner benytter seg av tegenserieestetikken i sitt kunstuttrykk. Hva slags tradisjon benyttes i hans verk? Og kan man med rette karakterisere Pushwagner som popkunstner? Problemstillingene er verksorientert, og jeg tar utgangspunkt i maleriet Jobkill (1990), men det vil bli trukket paralleller til andre verk av kunstneren. I oppgavens tolkningsdel vil jeg trekke inn komparativt materiale fra popkunsten. V VI VII Forord I 2010-2012 hadde jeg gleden av å jobbe i et av Norges nyoppstartede gallerier, Galleri Pushwagner.
