i'm sure the party will have some rational explanations. so we should wait for the scientific comments from the CPI(M) official,quasi-official spokepersons. for the time being here is a bit of panacea i'd found:-)
Culture in the Era of Globalisation, Commercialisation and Communalisation -- Some Thoughts Sitaram Yechury
[...] Way back in 1986, I was asked to accompany Com. EMS to Berlin, to attend the Congress of the Socialist Unity Party (the then ruling party of the German Democratic Republic). During the free time we had, our hosts wanted to know what we would like to do. I suggested visiting Brecht's theatre in East Berlin which was (and is even now, I presume) called the `Berliner Ensemble'. EMS readily agreed and we went to see a theatrical production of one of Brecht's short poems, "In love of a revolutionary". The programme, it was stated would be for a duration of two hours. We were curious to see how the depiction of such a short poem could consume so much time! As the programme began, apart from the Brechtian practice of introducing characters through the audience, we were initiated to an exiting experiment. As the play was proceeding on the stage, in the background a film was being shown. The script of the film was not directly woven into that of the play. But, both put together created a powerful ambience which transcended beyond both a proscenium play and a film. EMS found this experiment very fascinating. Such a process of experimenting with new forms was echoed many years ago in India by that genius of a filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak. He spoke of the future forms of art as a fusion of some of the existing forms and specifically of a form that goes beyond the celluloid fusing theatre, choreography and cinema. As we shall see later, the creative emergence of such forms would be crucial to combat the onslaught of cultural imperialism under globalisation.Globalisation, commercialisation and communalisation are not unrelated aspects impacting culture in today's world. In the Indian context particularly, all these knot together to strengthen the grip of ruling class hegemony over our society[...] For the illuminating full text: http://www.cpim.org/ |
