Larouche in Italy: Take the Lead for Eurasian Development
EIRFeature LaRouche in Italy: Take the Lead for Eurasian Development by Claudio Celani For the second time in a month, Lyndon LaRouche visited Italy, a country where he has high recognition and where, last year, the national Chamber of Deputies approved a resolution calling for a “new world financial architecture” oriented toward productive investment, not speculation—as LaRouche’s proposed New Bretton Woods system specifies. From May 5-8, LaRouche paid a visit to the northern Italian cities of Vicenza and Milan, holding public events and private meetings. In this trip, as in the previous one, LaRouche called on Italian leaders to break with the new “Roman imperial” policy of the Bush Administration, and to join ranks with its European allies in organizing for a Eurasian development policy (see EIR, April 25). Italy plays a special role in the Eurasian project, because of its natural projection into the Mediterranean Sea, toward the Mideast, which is the crossroads between Eurasia and Africa. A special feature of LaRouche’s visit this time was the expansion of the LaRouche Youth Movement to Italy. Vicenza: A High-Export Region On May 5, LaRouche was the main guest speaker at a conference at the Vicenza Chamber of Commerce, organized by EIR and by the International Strategic Politi- cal Economic Institute (ISIES), founded by a group of businessmen from the region. Vicenza represents a singularity known to LaRouche, who was there already in July 2001: A city of 200,000, Vicenza has a high density of small and medium- sized enterprises, and alone exports more than the nation of Greece. -

Modernizing the Hero
Situations Vol. 1(Fall 2007) © 2007 by Yonsei University Eunha Na1 Modernizing the Hero Review on the play Iago and Othello2 Once the most beloved and frequently staged of all western playwrights in Korea since the premiere of Hamlet (1951), Shakespeare seems to have become something too classic and literary (almost mandatory as cultural or academic experience) for today’s Korean audience. Such conviction is not without ground when we see the theater box- offices in Seoul being bombarded with popular musicals and more contemporary plays from the Broadway or the West End. After being catered with the breath-taking spectacles and boisterous entertainment, you’ll feel it as a torture to bear the full-length plays packed with words and quaint rhetorical expressions. It must be something to do with such realization that a series of experimental productions of Shakespearean plays sprang up with fresh interpretations in recent years. Koreanizing, so called by some directors and critics, is going on with staging comedies while other directors have taken a separate course for tragedies (history plays, as well). 1 Seoul National University graduate student. 2 Adapted from Shakespeare’s Othello by the Theater Company Moollee, performed in LG Art Center, Seoul. 143 With the latter, the focus lingers on the heroes of each play; but younger generation directors—distinguishing themselves from their predecessors—are interested in how to bring onto the stage the inner struggles and conflicts of each character. Now expressionism, although belated, seems to have taken the place of realism in the theater, at least in some of the most memorable productions recently performed. -
Othello: a Teacher's Guide
A TEACHER’S GUIDE TO THE SIGNET CLASSIC EDITION OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S OTHELLO By DEBRA (DEE) JAMES, University of North Carolina at Asheville SERIES EDITORS: W. GEIGER ELLIS, ED.D., UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, EMERITUS and ARTHEA J. S. REED, PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, RETIRED A Teacher’s Guide to the Signet Classic Edition of William Shakespeare’s Othello 2 INTRODUCTION Othello, like all of Shakespeare’s plays, particularly the tragedies, is complex and subtly nuanced. Through its complexities and subtleties, Shakespeare makes us care about the characters who people this story. We understand their weaknesses and their strengths, their passions and their nobility. In our engagement in their lives and our pondering over what has gone wrong and why, we are given the opportunity to analyze human life both in the abstract and in the particular of our own lives. Shakespeare’s ability to involve us in the lives and fortunes of his characters is one of the best reasons for reading, rereading, and teaching Othello. Othello has particular gifts to offer to teenagers. It is a play about passion and reason. Intense feelings are exhibited here: love, hate, jealousy, envy, even lust. Teenagers struggling with their own passions can empathize with both Roderigo’s and Othello’s plight. It is also a play that examines, as do Shakespeare’s other works, human relationships and interactions. For teenagers in the first rush of attempting to understand how romantic relationships work and when and why they might fail, this text provides much to ponder. In addition, studying the play gives young people a rich literary vehicle for developing their critical thinking and analytical reading skills. -
