The article deals with the concepts of the “Great Eastern Idea” (“the idea of the Great East”) and “posteconomism” in the prognostics of A.S. Panarin. The article shows the actualization of these concepts in the modern historical context and the need for their further theoretical development. Some theoretical justifications of these concepts are proposed. The Western project of a “unipolar” world presupposes the inadmissibility of recreating an independent civilizational space of Eurasia, which would somehow stand out from the common swamp of the “third world”. The main problem of global development, according to the author, is whether non-Western civilizations will be able to use their enormous human resources through the mobilization of their cultural traditions.

The years since independence have seen a remarkable range of work in experimental forms of theatre in the nations of Africa – ‘experimental’, that is, in their shared rejection of the imposed colonial heritage of westernized forms, and the common attempt to revitalize indigenous cultural traditions while making them relevant to present and future development priorities. Ross Kidd, who has worked and written widely in this field, here provides a case study of just one ‘Theatre for Development’ workshop, held in a small Zimbabwe village in August 1983. A member of the secretariat of the International Popular Theatre Alliance. Ross Kidd is also an advisory editor of NTQ, and will be contributing a full survey of the range of popular theatre activity in the Third World to a forthcoming issue.

Although France is one of the most centralized countries in Europe, its apparent unity must not conceal that it is made up of many linguistic groups, and that French has only in recent years succeeded in becoming the common language of all the French. The situation of each one of the seven non-official languages of France is at first examined. The problem is then situated in its historical context, with the emphasis falling on why and how the French state tried to destroy them. Although the monarchy did not go much further than to impose French as the language of the administration, the revolutionary period was the beginning of a deliberate attempt to substitute French for the regional languages even in informal and oral usage. This was really made possible when education became compulsory: the school system was then the means of spreading French throughout the country. Nowadays the unity of France is no longer at stake, but its very identity is being threatened by the demographic weight, on French soil, of the immigrants from the Third-World.

ON 11 MAY 1974 FATHER MUGICA, A LEADING SPOKESMAN OF THE Movement of Priests for the Third World (MPTW) and a pro- Peronist, was machine-gunned to death as he left his church in a working-class neighbourhood after celebrating mass. Once again the Catholic Church in Argentina called for peace and understanding as the proper path for Argentines, and the MPTW issued a long statement condemning the use of violence. Nevertheless, the common pleas by the two factions of the Church in Argentina have had little visible effect in stopping the violence through which Argentina is now suffering. In order to understand how the political and doctrinal differences from within the Church in Argentina have influenced in the past and will continue to influence the political developments in Argentina it is first necessary to look at the background of the problem.

Modernization, contrary to the common assumption of most writings in the field, does not follow a uniform path. The diversity of the historical experiences in the Third World countries imposes a severe revision of the theory. The case of India is taken as a good example. It helps the author to declare that there are two theorical lines which must be at the same time divided and connected. The first is functionalist, the second sequentiel, including contradictions and break thoughts. A last section is devoted to the necessity of reflexivity.

The Third World being bound together by the experience of oppression rather than by common cultural traditions, its utopia must recognize oppression - and liberation from oppression in its widest sense - as the central problem in envisioning an alternative human future. Such a vision must recognize the continuity between the oppressed and the oppressor and see the institutional and psychological liberation from outer oppression as a matter of self-realization. At one time, such a perspective smacked of defeatist, life-denying spiritualism, but the present civilizational predicament of the West has concretized the Marxist, Freudian and the Gandhian visions that oppression and freedom from oppression are indivisible. The criteria by which the Third World cultures were once judged deficient - e.g. the absence of a commitment to the ideas of productivity and work; a ‘non-masculine orientation to nature and society; an unwillingness to see the winners and losers in a power game as discontinuous entities; and a historicity - are exactly the criteria by which by Western civilization today is being found decadent. Dominance is never cost-free; victory is rarely safe for the victors. And the defences and techniques of survival the subjugated cultures of the world have developed in response to their shared experience of oppression are exactly the ones which must be explored as possible paths of liberation, not only for the oppressed, but also for those caught in the hinges of the traditional concepts of success, privilege and progress.

The Third World

It is regularly argued that human rights are not a Western discovery and that non-Western societies have long emphasized the protection of human rights. Such claims, however, are based on a confusion of human rights and human dignity. A concern for human dignity is central to non-Western cultural traditions, whereas human rights, in the sense in which Westerners understand that term—namely, rights (entitlements) held simply by virtue of being a human being—are quite foreign to, for example, Islamic, African, Chinese, and Indian approaches to human dignity. Human rights are but one way that has been devised to realize and to protect human dignity. Although the idea of human rights was first articulated in the West in modern times, it would appear to be an approach particularly suited to contemporary social, political, and economic conditions, and thus of widespread contemporary relevance both in the West and the Third World.
