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).

  • Sea Close By: the Coastal Diaries of Albert Camus, Athol Fugard and Stephen Watson
    The Sea Close By: The Coastal Diaries of Albert Camus, Athol Fugard and Stephen Watson Hedley Twidle Abstract In reading passages about the southern African coastline from Athol Fugard’s Notebooks 1960-1977 (1983) and Stephen Watson’s A Writer’s Diary (1997), I hope to explore how and why these writers are drawn to the figure of Albert Camus. Much of this Nobel laureate’s oeuvre – his Carnets and in particular his lyrical essays like ‘Nuptials at Tipasa’ and ‘The Wind at Djemila’ – returns to an Algerian coastline of similar latitude, light and climate to that of the Cape Peninsula; so too he writes out of a vexed political context which speaks to the situation of the liberal-humanist literary imagination in southern Africa. The ‘invincible summer’ instilled by his Algerian upbringing was something which Camus imagined as the core of his creative being; yet how does a similar celebration of physicality, the body and ‘the sensual intelligence’ play out when relocated from a northern to a southern African coastline? In answering this, I hope to suggest how the diary form – a neglected and supposedly minor mode on the margins of ‘literature’ – is able to show with a particular power the ways in which natural, social and personal histories come to be braided together in a postcolony like South Africa. Keywords: Albert Camus, Athol Fugard, Stephen Watson, diary as literary form. On 12 July 1996, midway through his A Writer’s Diary, the Cape Town poet, critic and essayist Stephen Watson pauses to consider ‘those who, without Alternation Special Edition 6 (2013) 29 - 67 29 ISSN 1023-1757 Hedley Twidle being attached to anything like a weather bureau, keep a daily record of the weather, its changes, variations, apparent duplications’: I imagine there must be moments when they ask themselves what all their annotations amount to ….
