Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Prize winner for literature, is the first excellent Indian author whose creative efforts-poetry, prose, drama-present a superb Triveni of, mysticism, humanism and philosophy. His significant dance play Chandalika reveals the theme of marginal(Dalit) voice and role of Buddhism in the play. The play displays a chandal girl's realization that she's a human being like any other and it's wrong for her to believe under the notice of people from the upper castes. This play is about awakening a feeling of her identity in a Chandal-woman, and its awakened realization that she was born as a chandal-woman does not imply she is a non-entity. Prakriti finds that she is as human as anyone else, and that she has the right to give water to anyone high or low who requests that. Chandal girl in this play realizes that she isn't just someone with a personal identity but also causes her to love a Buddhist monk who is accountable for this new awakening.

Christianity is in trouble in Africa, in large part because of problems with the role of the missionary. Missionaries too often disdain African culture or show respect for ulterior motives. For effective communication, identification is essential. This is not simply a physical outward conformity, but a full and sympathetic entering into the life of others in an act meaningful in itself. Barriers include ethnocentrism, fear of the loss of personal identity, withdrawal into a segregated “missionary culture,” and the dominant role of the missionary in too many relationships. Personal qualities required for identification include health, intelligence, empathy, autonomy, judgment, and creativity. The author concludes by exploring motivation and the practical implications for an effective approach. He stresses that the right attitudes must be established from the start of the missionary's career while the situation is still fluid enough to be guided.

The paper deals with redistribution of energetic and plastic resources in the organism during stress, acute phase response and diabetes mellitus. Assuming metabolic regulation is based upon balanced contradictory influences of diverse chemical signals (substrates, ions, autacoids, hormones, neurotransmitters, physiological autoantibodies) the peculiarities of insulin- and counter-insulin effects during acute and chronic adaptation under stress, acute phase response and diabetes mellitus have been discussed. The role of chronic stress and accompanying metabolic disorders has been accentuated as a basis for stress-associated diseases’ development. The role of outstanding Argentinean pathophysiologist Bernardo Alberto Houssay (1887-1971) is discussed. He had devoted himself to studies of pituitary bioregulators’ influence on insulin effects immediately after insulin discovery and had established in 1924 that pituitary removal is able to increase sensitivity to insulin in dogs, and developed “secondary diabetes mellitus” concept as a result of counter-insulin hormones’ excess (especially hormones of adenohypophysis and the adrenal glands (“steroid diabetes”). Bernardo Alberto Houssay was really the first to experimentally prove pituitary and adrenal bioregulators to oppose the insulin effects. Bernardo Alberto Houssay has been 46 times nominated for the Nobel prize for 17 years (1931 through 1947), and finally was awarded the Nobel prize in 1947 for achievements in Physiology and Medicine for disclosing the role of pituitary in carbohydrate metabolism (he was the first ever Nobel prize winner from Latin America). The paper discusses publications by B. A. Houssay, current development of his ideas, as well as historical and biographical information on his research and his scientific school of endocrinologists-pathophysiologists in the context of his epoch, on the background of history of Argentina [3 figs, bibliography: 34 refs].

The paper discusses the reception of Olga Tokarczuk’s works after the author received the Nobel Prize in Literature. It addresses the issue of politicisation of literature – the Nobel Prize winner’s novels are read through the angle of her left-wing views, with less importance attributed to the quality of the works as such. The paper answers the question as to what the Nobel Prize winner enchanted the Swedish Academy with, explains how Tokarczuk structures her novels and what makes them stand out (the psychological approach), and also discusses the author’s view on the role of literature in today’s world.

Historical Issues

Works of literature are not often given much credence in terms of their value or use in the writing and interpreting of history. However, it is important to realize the potential for novels to illuminate and give new meaning to particular historical issues and events. Rabindranath Tagore, renowned Indian author, Nobel Prize winner, and independence activist, in his novel, The Home and the World provides us with a good case and point. This influential work of fiction, published in 1916, offers an intriguing look at the way that the nationalist identity of India became highly gendered and sexualized as various nationalist groups attempted to confront the building conflict between tradition and modernity. My presentation will discuss the idea of the woman as the mother goddess of the nation, as well as the role of masculine insecurity in the unfolding of nationalist political action, through Tagore’s fictional depiction of the Swadeshi movement in early twentieth century India. Along with this artistic depiction, I will discuss a number of important historians of Indian nationalism to expose the numerous contradictions within these nationalist programs and how those contradictions manifest themselves in increasingly gendered trends such as a greater push for masculine aggression and a redefinition of the ‘ideal woman’. What The Home and the World exposes is that, despite the efforts of nationalists to keep the inner domain of the home unaffected by modernity, their tactic of placing women at the symbolic head of the nationalist movement had broken down the traditional boundaries of the home.

This discussion of why the Polish poet and Nobel Prize winner Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004) translated the Book of Job distinguishes two meanings of translation in reference to the poet’s work: fi rst as a process, which relates to Miłosz’s life and personal experience, and second as an outcome, which relates to his poetry. The investigation of this problem makes use of some work by Father Joseph Sadzik as well as of Clive Scott’s concept of rediscovery of reading. The article contributes to an understanding of how Miłosz reconciled the roles of poet and translator, of humble servant and rebellious yet fragile human being, of innocent yet disturbing witness. The author argues that the translation of the Book of Job, as a process and as an outcome, reveals the complexity of Miłosz’s craft and its effectiveness in defi ning the scope of the translator’s duties, of which the most important is to come alongside Job and learn how he coped with his experience of being an innocent victim.

AbstractThis rejoinder is part of the round table discussion on the book The Making of a Periphery: How Island Southeast Asia Became a Mass Exporter of Labor. It pays tribute to the development economist and Nobel Prize winner Arthur W. Lewis, who studied the predicaments of plantation societies. The rejoinder addresses critical observations made about the above-mentioned book by Elise van Nederveen Meerkerk, Pim de Zwart, Corey Ross, and Alberto Alonso-Fradejas. It underscores the importance of the role of demography and long histories of labour coercion to explain processes of peripheralization and mass emigration. It also points out the limits of classical development economics, namely a relative neglect of the ecological damage attending plantation exploitation. The commodity frontier approach is suggested as a way to address this shortcoming.

Dance Imagery

This chapter argues that dance imagery and screen choreography arising from postcolonial regions, such as India, hold the potential to intervene in the binary way in which modern nations and empires regulate physicality through the technologies of vision. For in these regional cultures of visibility, nonmodern practices of personhood, embodied performance, and sensuous community overlap with modern approaches to and critiques of gendered movement arts. The claim is illustrated through a genealogical study of selected Indian practices of physicality and visibility: new liberal Bollywood cinema; present-day avant-garde screendance; made-for-television video; colonial Indian photography; and modern and premodern dance and painting. The disrupted choreographies to be found on Bollywood screens are discussed hand in hand with the critical approaches of the feminist choreographer Manjusri Chaki-Sircar, the transgender filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, and the anti-imperialist dance philosopher and Nobel Prize winner, Rabindranath Tagore.
