Exchange Visit

In early 1992, I spent five weeks at the Costina Hospital in Romania – an exchange visit organised by the West Midlands Regional Health Authority at the request of a charity known as Faure Alderson Romanian Appeal, based in London. The team who set off with me in a lorry, minibus and a Land Rover, included a residential social worker, a medical student who helped me with the assessment of patients and four other volunteers from the charity to help in an orphanage. The journey across Europe was confronted with difficulties at Romanian customs but we eventually managed to meet the Director of the Hospital we were visiting, after a week on the road.

On The Road

This is a personal record of a theatre worker's journey to places where theatre is inextricably mixed with politics — or is no less significantly divorced from social concerns. Visiting mainland China and South Africa in the summer of 1990, Richard Schechner records how theatre people confronted the aftermath of major political upheavals – the crushing of hopes in Tiananmen Square, and the perhaps deceptive raising of them following the release of Nelson Mandela. His trip also took in the widely different perspectives and problems of Taiwan, where pluralism struggles (almost unnoticed in the West) to displace an ageing autocracy. Richard Schechner teaches at New York University, and recently returned to the editorial chair at The Drama Review, the journal he conducted through its vintage years in the 'sixties – at the same time creating the Performance Group, and beginning his researches into theatre and anthropology, the field in which he has published widely and innovatively in the interim.

Concept Area

This research was conducted to assess the Level Of Service (LOS) pedestrian path around the Tanjung Barat Station area. In addition, to see in terms of comfort and security in reaching a TOD concept area. For this reason, a model of pedestrian design is needed so that track users can enjoy the pedestrian pathway feeling comfortable and safe. The results of this study indicate that the level of pedestrian service on the Tanjung Barat Raya road and on the road in Lenteng Agung raya: For the Tanjung Barat Raya road the LOS index is categorized as "B" while the Lenteng Agung Raya road is in the LOS index in the "C" category. And for the prediction of the next 5 years, LOS is categorized as "B". This indicates the need for improvements in terms of supporting facilities for pedestrians on the two St. Western Cape. This indicates that the pedestrian support facilities need to be improved which will have an impact on the increasing number of pedestrian users around the West Tanjung station for the next 5 years.

Dura is one of the buried cities which has swum into our ken since the end of the Some paintings accidentally uncovered by a British officer first led D Breasted to the site. He was followed by Cumont and in 1928 a large expedition under Professor Rostovtzeff was sent there by Yale University and the French Academy of Inscriptions. By 1937 about one third of the site had been excavated and work was suspended through lack of funds.Dura has been compared with Pompeii but it would be hard to imagine two places more dissimilar in appearance and history. Unlike Pompeii, Dura is a grim looking site : its most striking features are the west wall on the desert side and the citadel above the Euphrates, both built of dull grey gypsum blocks : between them stretches a waste of mud brick walls. And its history covers a far longer period. Once the site of a small oriental village, it was converted by the Macedonians into a strong-point on the road between Antioch on the Orontes and Seleucia on the Tigris ; the date of its foundation is not known, but Seleucus I was regarded as the founder and it must have been about 300 B.C.

On The Road

This paper starts from the premise that a species or society must adapt itself to, and live within, its ecosystem, or else perish. In the event of an ecological accident, the species must rapidly adapt itself to survive. In the event of ecological misbehaviour of a society – i.e. destabilizing the ecosystem beyond the ecosystem's recuperative capacity (e.g. by nuclear poisoning), or so changing itself that it becomes incompatible with the ecosystem (e.g. by genetic engineering), the society puts itself on the road to extinction. The paper then outlines the tests for judging the ecological viability of a culture. It goes on to show how, by its homo-centric world-view, by its social philosophy, by its value system, by its culture forms, by its economic system, by its folk wisdom, by the example and precept of the culture's high priests, the Western culture makes a resource demand far beyond the earth's finite yielding capacity, and discharges a waste load far beyond the biosphere's absorptive capacity. This is a warning clear enough to those non-Western societies which, under duress or blandishment or both, set out to imitate the West, ‘catch up’ with the West, ‘beat the West at its own game’ – all in the tantalizing name of ‘modernization’. It is a game not worth playing, because in such a game even victory will be total defeat.
