Printed by: Creda Press Repro by: Industrial Graphics Cover Artwork: Morris La Mantia Dancer Illustrations: Carin Hartmann Comment Globally speaking, we are living in rapidly changing times. Who will contest this? Observers have pointed out that the twentieth century and its preoccupations already belong to the past as the world irresistibly moves towards the next century. Strange as it appears, things seem to turn at the turn of centuries. Home is a case in point: the hurly-burly of social and political changes are superficially registered in newspapers and the electronic based media while the deeper shifts in culture and human sensibilities remain almost completely obscured. Is this due to the fact that the communication media, monopolized by a minority, are fatally oriented towards reassuring sectors of the public that their vested interests, ossified cultural habits and assumptions are not subject to the profound local and global changes? The 'no news is good news' frame of mind, is sadly also a feature of local literature and art. This conservative view vituperously insists that the only things of value are the things which never change. In a world where everything is touched by the ineluctable forces of change this profoundly reactionary view is understandable. It deserves our sympathy. Who would not feel compassion for those who withdraw from the vital process of contemporary life to descend into a hell of mourning the loss of a mythological paradise? Nevermind the fact that the actual loss is the impending end of racial priviledge. Indeed, who would not sympathise with the bereaved? For others, the understanding that human beings constantly create and recreate the world they inhabit by changing it through their decisions, choices, utterances and actions is axiomatic. The recent unfreezing of rigid social systems and related views of the world, the exponents of change assure us, are the direct and indirect results of the ceaseless labour of countless individuals, groups and organizations. It seems block- headed to disagree with this. The outcome of these changes, history however reminds us, will not necessarily be in line with what many hope for. Social change is a contradictory process. It brings with it mixed possibilities for advances and regressions. Little wonder that opportunists of every hue hasten to claim that their beliefs, dogmas and illusions have been, or are soon to be vindicated. The challenge facing writers under any circumstances is to shift the induced boundaries of consciousness and feeling as well as to reassess the meaning and value of past forms of cultural expression. This is the proper domain of creativity. Sacred and secular taboos can only partially frustrate, but never succeed in completely arresting the human procilivity for expanding the horizons of knowledge. The quest for renewal reaches optimal levels when non-conformist, critical and even iconoclastic attitudes towards every form of ideological posturing and pretense are adopted. To reduce the multifarious nature of being to a single theory or a one-sided system of values can only serve to stunt the plenitude of experience. The endless play of desire is driven by the inextinguishable quest for freedom. Within the frame work of otherwise restrictive outlooks the censorious mind flourishes. It breeds, as in this country and elsewhere, the dangerously absurd conviction that ideas could be vanquished by destroying their proponents. This, among other far reaching implications, is spelt out to the world by Nadine Gordimer, the 1991 Noble Literary Laureatte, in her memorable lecture. It displays her profound vision of the role of writers in an age demanding courage in life and skill in art. In her finest hour Gordimer remained true to herself by underscoring the social imperatives of creativity. Her lecture is a flash in the dark to South Africans and the rest of the world. As we begin to undertake the daunting tasks of cultural transformation, it reminds us that alternative visions must steer clear of all forms of prescription and coercion. In the drive to open all cultural institutions for democratic participation and to extend the means of cultural expression we must guard against the preservation of old forms of privilege and exclusivity as well as against the formation of new elites. Through its recently launched monthly debates and research into international and national cultural policies, COSAW intends to play a facilitating role in the democratization of cultural institutions. This will be done by inviting the entire community of artists, regardless of their pasts, to participate in an open-ended process of discussion and debate. This edition of Staffrider offers readers a number of critical essays in which views on language and literature are frankly assessed. The selection of short stories probe past, present and future aspects of individual experiences. A variety of poetic voices speak their dreams, fears, anger and desires while visual artists and photographers provide opportunities of seeing.R Andries Walter Oliphant Staff rider Vol.

Signed __________________________________ Date ____________________________________ 2 ABSTRACT This thesis reassesses the years 1945-1955 as a hingepoint in British culture, a moment when literature, film and art responded to the wartime hiatus of consumer capitalism by resisting the turn towards conspicuous consumption and self- commodification. This resistance can be discerned in a gothic impulse in post-war culture, in which uncanny encounters with haunted, recalcitrant or overassertive objects proliferated, and provided a critique of the subject/object relationship on which consumerism was predicated. In the opening chapter, the ubiquity of bombsite rubble is brought into dialogue with mid-century mural painting both in literature and at the Festival of Britain.

  • Camphill and the Future
    DISABILITY STUDIES | RELIGION M C KANAN THE CAMPHILL MOVEMENT, one of the world’s largest and most enduring networks of intentional communities, deserves both recognition and study. CAMPHILL A ND Founded in Scotland at the beginning of the Second World War, Camphill communities still thrive today, encompassing thousands of people living in more CAMPHILL than one hundred twenty schools, villages, and urban neighborhoods on four continents. Camphillers of all abilities share daily work, family life, and festive THE FUTURE celebrations with one another and their neighbors. Unlike movements that reject mainstream society, Camphill expressly seeks to be “a seed of social renewal” by evolving along with society to promote the full inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities, who comprise nearly half of their residents. In this Spirituality and Disability in an Evolving Communal Movement multifaceted exploration of Camphill, Dan McKanan traces the complexities of AND THE the movement’s history, envisions its possible future, and invites ongoing dia- logue between the fields of disability studies and communal studies. “Dan McKanan knows Camphill better than anyone else in the academic world FUTURE and has crafted an absorbing account of the movement as it faces challenges eighty years after its founding.” TIMOTHY MILLER, author of The Encyclopedic Guide to American Inten- tional Communities “This book serves as a living, working document for the Camphill movement. Spirituality and Disability Communal Movement in an Evolving McKanan shows that disability studies and communal studies have more to offer each other than we recognize.” ELIZABETH SANDERS, Managing Director, Camphill Academy “With good research and wonderful empathy, McKanan pinpoints not only Cam- phill’s societal significance but also how this eighty-year-old movement can still bring potent remediation for the values and social norms of today’s world.” RICHARD STEEL, CEO, Karl König Institute DAN MCKANAN is the Emerson Senior Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School.

  • Roman Elegies Pdf Download
    Roman Elegies Pdf By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe This version of pdf is re-designed by Pdfcorner.com © Copyright Reserved 2018 JOSEPH BRODSKY Roman Elegies (1982)1 To Benedetta Craveri I Mahogany, captive to a private Roman flat. Ceiling set with dusty crystal islands. Venetian blinds at sunset, like a fish that merges scales and islands. Barefoot on red marble, a body steps toward the future – gets dressed. If you shouted, “Freeze!” I’d freeze right here, as did this city from bliss in its youth. The world is made of nudity and wrinkles; in both shows more love than faces show. How sweet, like an operatic tenor, for he slips forever behind the curtain. Stargazing blue pupils bathe their sclera with shining tears. The moon overhead, a vacant plaza without fountain, but from that selfsame stone. II A month of static pendulums (in August only flies in the necks of dry decanters are quick). Symbols on the clock-face intermingle like antiair floodlights in search of seraphim. A month of drawn drapes and shrouded chairs, of a sweaty double in a vanity mirror, of bees who forget the location of the hive and fly to the sea encrusted with honey. So stream, spout, over flaccid, snow-white muscles; pour over gray tufted scorch marks. Nothing is dearer than a view onto ruins for a homeless torso and idle hands. And they of the broken “j” in Jewish also know themselves; with only saliva you re-form the fragments, while Time’s barbarous eye scours the Forum. 1 Iosif Brodskiĭ, Rimskie ėlegii (New York: Russica Publishers, 1982).
