Book excerpt: The Maxim Mazumdar New Play Award-winning courtroom drama for college and high school actors. A Patch of Earth is part courtroom drama, part ghost story, part magical realism. It's the true story of Drazen Erdemovic, the "crybaby" - a 24 year old Bosnian Croat with a hip haircut and bad acne scars who fought for three different armies during the Bosnian war. He says he never killed anyone until the day he and his mates were sent to a cornfield near Srebrenica where he's ordered to shoot or be shot. If he refuses, his comrades say they'll also shoot his young wife and child. He is haunted by the ghosts of those he killed. It destroys his marriage. He tries to free himself from his demons by telling his story to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, confessing to shooting "no more than 70" of the 1200 people killed near Srebrenica. The play asks the audience to consider two questions: What would I do if I were in his shoes? And what is a just punishment for his actions? ★ "Playgoers yearning for serious, mind-absorbing theater, with dramatic power behind the conscience-reaming message, should avail themselves of A Patch of Earth. It is a shattering experience." The Daily Pilot ★ "Felde first heard about the tribunal in 1995. A veteran radio reporter, she had just finished covering the O.J. Simpson criminal trial when she began hearing the crowd of international reporters talking about going to The Hague for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and its sister tribunal for Rwanda. It was the first time since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials after World War II that the international community would hold people responsible for war crimes. 'I was too young for Nuremberg, ' Felde said. 'This was my chance for [viewing] international justice. I just knew I had to be there.'" Daily Journal ★ "The lack of "foreign" dialects--and the directive that the play be performed without an intermission--point toward the playwright's attempt to erase any barriers that might prohibit the English-speaking spectator from entering into what Argentinean playwright Eduardo Pavlovsky calls the 'shared subconscious of the victimizer and the victimized.'" Human Rights Quarterly ★ "Felde concentrates on issues of justice: the juridical process and the accountability of soldiers ordered to participate in acts of mass murder. Felde's drama is somewhat expressionistic as the action takes place in the mind and memory of the Drazen Erdemovic, the real-life Croat who participated in the killing of Bosnian Serbs. Felde fuses factual and theatrical (e.g., courtroom scenes utilize transcripts from tribunal proceedings and Erdemovic's personal/family life is fictionalized)." New England Theatre Journal "Felde intersplices actual courtroom testimony with information gathered from news reports -- including a scene where Erdomovic's former comrades shoot him to keep him quiet -- which she brings to life on stage by fleshing out scenes with on-point but imagined details."

Book Synopsis Earth, Life, and System by : Bruce Clarke
Download or read book Earth, Life, and System written by Bruce Clarke and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the broad implications of evolutionary theorist Lynn Margulis’s work, this collection brings together specialists across a range of disciplines, from paleontology, molecular biology, evolutionary theory, and geobiology to developmental systems theory, archaeology, history of science, cultural science studies, and literature and science. Addressing the multiple themes that animated Margulis’s science, the essays within take up, variously, astrobiology and the origin of life, ecology and symbiosis from the microbial to the planetary scale, the coupled interactions of earthly environments and evolving life in Gaia theory and earth system science, and the connections of these newer scientific ideas to cultural and creative productions. Dorion Sagan acquaints the reader with salient issues in Lynn Margulis’s scientific work, the controversies they raised, and the vocabulary necessary to follow the arguments. Sankar Chatterjee synthesizes several strands of current theory for the origin of life on earth. James Strick tells the intertwined origin stories of James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis and Margulis’s serial endosymbiosis theory. Jan Sapp explores the distinct phylogenetic visions of Margulis and Carl Woese. Susan Squier examines the epigenetics of embryologist and developmental biologist C. H. Waddington. Bruce Clarke studies the convergence of ecosystem ecology, systems theory, and science fiction between the 1960s and the 1980s. James Shapiro discusses the genome evolution that results not from random changes but rather from active cell processes. Susan Oyama shows how the concept of development balances an over-emphasis on genetic coding and other deterministic schemas. Christopher Witmore studies the ways in which a concentrated animal feeding operation, or CAFO, mixes up natural resources, animal lives, and human appetites. And Peter Westbroek brings the insights of earth system science toward a new worldview essential for a proper response to global change.

Book Synopsis Inheritors of the Earth by : Chris D. Thomas
Download or read book Inheritors of the Earth written by Chris D. Thomas and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human activity has irreversibly changed the natural environment. But the news isn't all bad. It's accepted wisdom today that human beings have permanently damaged the natural world, causing extinction, deforestation, pollution, and of course climate change. But in Inheritors of the Earth, biologist Chris Thomas shows that this obscures a more hopeful truth -- we're also helping nature grow and change. Human cities and mass agriculture have created new places for enterprising animals and plants to live, and our activities have stimulated evolutionary change in virtually every population of living species. Most remarkably, Thomas shows, humans may well have raised the rate at which new species are formed to the highest level in the history of our planet. Drawing on the success stories of diverse species, from the ochre-colored comma butterfly to the New Zealand pukeko, Thomas overturns the accepted story of declining biodiversity on Earth. In so doing, he questions why we resist new forms of life, and why we see ourselves as unnatural. Ultimately, he suggests that if life on Earth can recover from the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs, it can survive the onslaughts of the technological age. This eye-opening book is a profound reexamination of the relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Book Synopsis An Audience of Artists by : Catherine Craft
Download or read book An Audience of Artists written by Catherine Craft and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Audience of Artists turns this time line for the postwar New York art world on its head, presenting a new pedigree for these artistic movements. Drawing on an array of previously unpublished material, Catherine Craft reveals that Neo-Dada, far from being a reaction to Abstract Expressionism, actually originated at the heart of that movement's concerns about viewers, originality, and artists' debts to the past and one another. Furthermore, she argues, the original Dada movement was not incompatible with Abstract Expressionism. In fact, Dada provided a vital historical reference for artists and critics seeking to come to terms with the radical departure from tradition that Abstract Expressionism seemed to represent. Tracing the activities of artists such as Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, and Jackson Pollock alongside Marcel Duchamp's renewed embrace of Dada in the late 1940s, Craft explores the challenges facing artists trying to work in the wake of a destructive world war and the paintings, objects, writings, and installations that resulted from their efforts."--Jacket.
