Dear http://cats.tfinforma.com/PTS/in?t=rl&doi=10.1080/09076760802707918Gentzler,

Access the first ever issue of Asia Pacific Translation and Intercultural Studies for FREE today.

We are delighted to introduce the first issue of the journal. Featured articles include 'Under the shadow of three lingua francae: repositioning translation in East Asia' by Leo Tak-hung Chan, which argues that translation as a form of resistance to globalization can be studied in relation to the quest for a common language in East Asia.

Another article, 'Inside and outside the grand lineage: a study of early translations of Japanese nō plays' by Michael Watson explores the background behind what are sometimes referred to as the “Pound/Fenollosa” translations of nō drama, but are better described as translations by Hirata Kiichi and Ernest Fenollosa, revised by Ezra Pound for publication between 1914 and 1916.

Access the first issue for free today.

"Burma Brings Iron Curtain Down on Stage Shows" from The Independent

The Independent World

Burma brings iron curtain down on stage shows

By Andrew Buncombe, Asia Correspondent

Wednesday, 13 October 2010

REUTERS

Par Par Lay from the 'Moustache Brothers'

The Burmese authorities are poised to ban all stage and theatre performances – often scenes of dissidence and criticism – ahead of elections planned for early next month.

Reports in exiled media say the authorities are to use the excuse of security concerns to prohibit almost all performances during a period that is traditionally marked with festivals and events. Certain exceptions might be allowed for those able or willing to pay large sums for permits.

Par Par Lay, a well-known Burmese comedian and a member of the Moustache Brothers troupe which is based in the northern city of Mandalay, told the Irrawaddy website: "I heard that they will not allow anyone to perform on stage at festivals, but they have not said why and have not yet officially announced the ban."

The manager of another performing troupe in Mandalay said: "The authorities have told organisers to put up guarantees of about 1 million kyat (£630) if they want to have stage performances. They are making organisers responsible for security and will seize the deposit if there is any trouble."

Comedy and theatre has long had a tradition of quiet dissent in Burma, a country where the only media is strictly controlled by the government. One of the country's best-known comics, Zarganar, spent many years making barbed puns about the regime. Eventually, in 2008, the junta ran out of patience with him and seized on an interview he had given to the BBC criticising the authorities' response after Cyclone Nargis and jailed him for 35 years.

Members of the Moustache Brothers have been in and out of jail over the past two decades for their celebrated performances which sometimes poke fun at the junta.

October and November see many Buddhist festivals across the country and troupes of artists who sing, dance and perform sketches are usually a regular sight. With an election due to take place on 7 November, the country's first poll for two decades, the authorities are doing all they can to keep a lid on dissent or criticism.

More than 2,000 political prisoners remain behind bars, visas for tourists have been all but stopped and independent observers will not be invited to observe the poll, which many analysts believe will cement the position of the military.

tHE FOURTH ANNUAL

SOUTH ASIAN THEATER FESTIVAL

Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13, 2009

Includes Red Oleanders by Nobel Prize-Winning Author

NEWARK, NJ (November 1, 2009) – NJPAC’s Alternate Routes Series, in collaboration with Epic Actors’ Workshop, hosts the FOURTH annual South Asian Theater Festival, an exploration of the artistry and diversity of South Asia through theater. The festival, to be held in NJPAC’s Victoria Theater on Saturday, December 12 and Sunday, December 13, 2009, includes performances by Epic Actors’ Workshop and Choir and Bengal Foundation of America. Complete festival information is available at www.satf2009.com.

On December 12 at 7:30pm, Nobel Prize-winning author Rabindranath Tagore’s 1924 masterpiece, Red Oleanders, a reaction to Western capitalism and industrialization, comes to NJPAC’s Victoria Theater in a production by the Bengal Foundation of America, with English adaptation by Nupur Gangopadhyay Lahiri. The story focuses on a beautiful woman who liberates a soulless mining town ruled by an oppressive king. Prior to the production, there will be an opening ceremony directed by Sharmila Ghoshal of the Manjari School of Performing Arts in New Jersey and choreographed by Sanchita Chatterjee of Nriti Kala Kendra cultural organization in India and Barkha Kishnani of East Brunswick, New Jersey.

On December 13 at 3pm in the Victoria Theater, New Jersey’s own Epic Actors’ Workshop brings Chehre (Faces) by S.M. Azhar Aalam, to NJPAC. Chehre tells the story of three generations of women who react differently to being victims of circumstance and will be performed in Hindi with English supertitles. Following the production, there will be a post-performance reception and discussion with Farley Richmond, Director of the Center for Asian Studies at the University of Georgia, Usha Ganguli, one of India’s leading theater directors, Sanjana Kapoor, director of Prithvi Theater in India, Bina Sharif of New York, Ali Anwar of New York and moderated by Sameera Iyengar, Creative Director of Prithvi Theatre, India.

Tickets for each production are $28 and are available by telephone at 1-888-GO-NJPAC (1-888-466-5722), at the NJPAC Box Office at One Center Street in downtown Newark, or by visiting the NJPAC website at www.njpac.org. Alternate Routes is made possible, in part, by American Express, the Ford Foundation, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.

Originally formed in 1988 in New York, Epic Actors Workshop and Choir is a not-for profit company registered in New Jersey with a mission to showcase and underscore the importance of South Asian theater, performance and the arts within its community and in the larger context of mainstream American culture. The Company organized the first South Asian Theater Festival in 2006.

Bengal Foundation of America (BFA) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization promoting cross cultural exchange of literature, music and the arts.

The Alternate Routes/World Festival’s humanities and residency program was cited as a national model of “Humanists at Work in American Public Life” by the White House Millennium Council in 1999. Baraka Sele was also named the 2004 recipient of the William Dawson Award for Programmatic Excellence by the Association of Performing Arts Presenters. The Dawson Award is bestowed to an individual or organization for the quality, innovation and vision of program design, audience bui
lding and community involvement efforts.

New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), located in the heart of an emerging downtown Newark, New Jersey, is the sixth largest performing arts center in the United States. Home of the Grammy® Award-winning New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, NJPAC has been widely cited as a catalyst in the revitalization of New Jersey's largest city, attracting over 6 million visitors (including more than one million children) in its first twelve years of operation.

Programming has been made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.

NJPAC is a wheelchair accessible facility and provides assistive services such as TTY ticket purchase, designated seating, Sennheiser infrared listening devices and seat cushions.
