  • Waste Not Want Not

    Robert AllenBOOKEnvironmentalism and Politics Set…2013

    No-one wants toxic waste dumped in their back yard. Dioxins and furans from incinerators, dangerous chemicals leaching from landfill sites and the apparently random dumping of nuclear waste are all clear threats to our health and lives. In fact any waste not properly dealt with can become dangerous - yet industry and state seem to collude recklessly in its production. Robert Allen describes the waste produced in Britain and Ireland and the woeful…

  • Impressions of Cuba

    Robert Chrisman, William Butler Yeats et al.ARTICLEThe Black Scholar2013

    wound our way back to Havana through the tangle of back roads that had taken us to Los Naranjos. Though our car was an old Ford Falcon, its engine was drum tight. (This model had been manufactured through the early '70's in Argentina. Cuba had picked up a batch of them after one of its bumper crops in the early 70's.) Los Naranjos had an almost idyllic quality as a little village; new, clean, wellconstructed, with the harmony that comes from the …

  • Media Commedia

    Antoinette Lafarge, Robert Allen et al.ARTICLELeonardo2005

    The authors discuss what they term “media commedia”: performance works melding comedic performance traditions with new media technologies. They focus on The Roman Forum Project, a series of mixed-reality performance projects they produced whose subject is contemporary American politics and media as seen through the eyes of ancient Romans.
