  • Master 257 December
    PEN PEN Joins ABR ince the beginning of 2003, nine writers and journalists have been murdered worldwide, adding to International SPEN’s list of 400 who have been killed over the last ten years. In the same period, 769 other writers and journal- ists have been imprisoned, tortured, attacked, threatened, harassed and deported, or have disappeared, gone into hiding or fled in fear of their lives — simply for practising their profession. International PEN is a worldwide organisation of writers, consisting of 130 centres in ninety-one countries. PEN was founded in 1921 to promote friendship and cooperation among writers everywhere, regardless of their political positions. It fights for freedom of expression and opposes political censorship. Above all, it vigorously defends those writers who suffer under oppressive régimes. Over the years, PEN’s members have included eminent writers around the world, including Joseph Conrad, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Thomas Mann, Nadine Gordimer, Arthur Miller, Margaret Atwood, Thomas Keneally and David Malouf. The Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa has declared: ‘In times of division between countries, PEN is one of the rare institutions to keep a bridge constantly open.’ In 1960 PEN established a Writers in Prison Committee to campaign on behalf of persecuted writers worldwide. The Committee currently monitors the cases of more than 1000 writers each year, lobbying governments to secure their re- lease. The Committee maintains contact with imprisoned writ- ers and their families, while also working through the UN to draw attention both to individual cases and to human rights abuses in specific countries. This year so far, twenty-eight writers have been released.

  • Both Gordimer and Coetzee Have Been Preoccupied, Throughout Their Careers, with the Responsibility of the Novelist
    Volume 2: 2009-2010 ISSN: 2041-6776 9 { Both Gordimer and Coetzee have been preoccupied, throughout their careers, with the responsibility of the novelist. From your reading of the novels, how would you say their ideas about responsibility differ? Hamish Matthews Considering the responsibility of the novelist in South Africa involves questions deeply embedded in the country's troubled history. The spectre of apartheid casts an unavoidable shadow over writers from white privileged society despite the breakdown of the political system of apartheid. With regard to the problem of the author's position Gallagher queries, ”how one can write for œ in support of œ the ”Other‘ without presuming to write for œ assuming power over œ the Other.‘ 1 The ”Other‘ is a term used to refer to the black majority, in that they had been so suppressed by apartheid, that their sudden integration into South African culture did not erase the ingrained difference projected during apartheid between the ”us‘ and ”them‘ of whites and blacks. There are two extremes in which the racist hierarchy can live on through art. In speaking for the ”Other‘ there is a risk of a continuing form of linguistic colonialism. At the other end of the scale is the counter-fear of an outright refusal to deal with the ”Other‘, accepting unbridgeable differences, straying toward recreating the rhetoric that formed apartheid. It is between these two fears that Coetzee and Gordimer carefully tread. Coetzee leans strongly towards the impossibility of representation, pushing language to its limit to expose the limitations of current literary conditions.

In these times, more than ever, PEN defends playwrights, screenwriters and filmmakers who are censored, silenced and jailed’ – JENNIFER CLEMENT, PEN INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT ‘I consider freedom of expression the most important cause that PEN supports. Without freedom of expression we are lost’ – RONALD HARWOOD, PEN INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT EMERITUS ‘My respect for this organisation has no borders…PEN has been so fierce, so consistent and ferocious in its efforts that it is hard to ignore their worldwide impact.’ The PEN – TONI MORRISON, PEN INTERNATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT International For more information contact [email protected] Stage & Screen Cover image: PEN International President Emeritus Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe arrive in London for the premier of film The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier.
