Existentialism isnotoriously difficult to define, especially since itclaims a varied philosophical background, drawingfrom Rene Descartes, Soren Aabye Kietkegaard,Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, and Martin Heidegger.Moreover, as Gabriel Marcel and others anno ced, anexistentialist could believe in God as miglfM_ >aSartre embraced atheism. Sartre' s e x i s t e i j i j J l ,boldest outlines, came to rest on the asis free, and that in having the free oencounters anxiety and despair.

Sartre's philosophy, which hadbe n i ' ... one of those curious phenomenaV\ l )if properly examined, illuminate someuli of culture in America. Alas, Frechtrranto evelop this insight, although he did suggestpopular press in America had focused tooon Saltre' s personality and too little on his ideas.

x a r n i ration of the initial dissemination of Frenchexistentialism in American popular culture reveals anumber of intertwined themes. First, much of theAmerican tascination with French existentialism wasrooted in what French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu callscultural capital;' the power of certain culturalrepresentations to command prestige and respect.Thus, from the start, fashion and idea coexisted todefine the disserniration of French existentialism inAmerica. Second, American coverage of Frenchexistentialists such as Sartric, Simone de Beauvoir, andAlbert Camus exemplified what historian DanielBoorstin calls the predominance of the celebrity inmodern American culture. The popular reception ofexistentialism in America was as much about theimage of the intellectual as the content of existentialistideas. Third, Sartre and other existentialists wereportrayed in American popular culture as exemplary ofan erratic left-bank bohernianism, an irrage that fitpoorly Vlith post-war celebrations of the Americanintellectual as a sober minded, optimistic, andrespectable citizen. By popularising Frenchexistentialists as celebrities and associating theirpessimistic philosophy with the traurra France hadexperienced in World War 11 the popular pressundermined their reception by the Americanintellectual comnunity. Many consideredexistentialism a passing vogue, not centrally applicableto the life of the mind in America. Thus, the cultural

politics for the dissemination of existentialism inAmerica became complex. marked by tensions incontrol of the cuitwa capital associated with Frenchculture and the image of the intellectual. It was nearly20 years before existentialism was accepted as a viablephilosophy relevant to the modem Americanintellectual community.Americans in the 1940s highly valued French ideas,art, and Jashion, less for any essential quality than forthe prestige that came with their French label. Theseperceptions ~ r satirised in two cartoons that tan inthe late 1940s in the New Yorker, which apotheosiseda certain popular, middlebrow style in America. In onecartoon, a rather dishevelled street vendor selling tiesat 25 cents each looks askance at his well-dressedcompetitor who is able to sell the same items,elegantly called cravats, at one dollar apiece. Anothercartoon shows a doughty group of women, one ofwhom exclaims: I know what Let's play OldFashioned before we start talking French". The allureof France, of things French in American culture, mustnot be underestimated as a continuing theme inaccounts of the popularity of existentialism and ofexistential thinkers, and existential thinkersconsciously played on tllis fascination.Before the Second World War in Europe had ended,before the atomic bomb had forever scarred thephysical and mental landscape of modem men andwomen, the existential figure and ideas of Jean-PaulSartre had alighted on American shores. Sartredetennined to become an inftuential figure in bEurope and the United States. In Paristtanslated by Lincoln Kirstein, Sartre in ohimself to Americans. n a note to editors of the magazine c h a r a artie,incorrectly, as one of the m i l i ( '& theFrench resistance during the war IT artre didnot refer to himself as a leader, salised hisdiscussion of the psychoi,&gical of Genmnoccupation upon the F p n o u n c i n g Neverwere we freer than mn n occupation."With this strange, tradict01y observationabout the natur dom, Sartre began tocommunicate ideas-without namingthem fo1 o American audience. n theessay, S ouched upon themes that wouldlater associated with the essentials of an

l ~ ~ e r s p e c t i v e authenticity, choice, thepresen death, loneliness, responsibility, and thenotion that in his freedom in choosing himself, he[man) chose the freedom ofall.Major introductions to existentialism appeared inAmerican magazines between 1945 and 1948. Thedissemination of existentialist ideas and personalitiesin the popular press was more than a story beingnarrated upon the inert intellectual bodies of Sartre,Beauvoir, Camus, and existentialism. As AnnaBoschetti has noted, Sartre and his followers hadcarefully orchestrated their reception in order to

capture the French intellectual field, thus assuring,albeit briefly, that existentialism would dominate.Sartre and Beauvoir attempted to influence thereception of their philosophical perspective on theAmerican intellectual field as well.10 I Why does the author say that the termExistentialism is notoriously difficult to

PASSAGE 2Man errs, till he has ceased to strive." So sighs thefigur of God in the prologue to Goethe's greatpoetical drama, "Fausr'. Driven by his boundlessdesire for knowledge, the play's ening hero strivesmightily throughout to discover "what holds the worldtogether in its innermost self Genaations of directorsand theatregoers have asked themselves muchsame question when struggling to comprehendtheatrical Everest.For Peter Stein, one of Germany m o o : s t ~ ~ ~ ~directors, staging all 12 Ill lines of theGoethe spent nearly 60 years w r i ~ t i n ~1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Iong dream Its reputation forbegan with the writer h i n m ~ s : : e l ~ f d ~ ~"Fausr' to his fiiend and feSchiller as a "poetic ~ : ~ ; :its unique, unc:ate:gOiisalblo. e c : o n ~ ddirector IBs everBut though he hadnever abandoned ~ ~became the f1"Any fool one of"Fausr' , said r Steinm o c l e s ~ J y ~ ~ ~ ~ ; ~ he would agree that notfo part one well, its themes andenough.

The catch is that, in the next world, theywill switch roles. Faust takes the offer. Yet he ishungry also for power and pleasure. "Two souls dodwell, alas, 1Mthin my breastl", he says. He errs badly,and philosophical drama becomes human tragedy.Faust seduces Gretchen, an innocent girl, who is

t:executed for killing their illegitimate child. Faust alsocauses the death of her mother and brother.Yet the cause of all this suffering himself survives forpart two-Goethe needed no lesson fromHollywood-and it is here that the difficulties begin.Most directors, simply give up before the challenge ofthe second part, and i t is not hard to see why. Its rangeof subject matter, its mixture of genres and its varietiesof tone make it a challenge to read, let alone to pulltogether into a coherent piece of theatre. It t ok MrStein decades to understand, though now hereads it "like a newspaper".Maybe so, but Bild Zeitung it is not. is yno storyline, no unity of time or ae 0 h t tothe spiritual and intellectual co whichGoethe's luxuriant c fronts hisV ~ e n d e r i n g heir.

\ W four-opera "Ring'' cycle, which runs fromto 17 hours). At Hanover, audiences have a choiceof a two-day "Fausr ' marathon at weekends or sixsessions on consecutive nights. The play also needs ahuge perfonnance space and a conunitted group ofactors. r Stein's 35 actors have signed on to his"Fausf' project for the dwation.As guide ropes in scaling this peak, r Stein chose tostick to the text and to follow Goethe's own stagedirections. This refusal to impose an interpretation ofhis own provoked the critics, but made theatricalsense. When Mephistopheles first appears to Faust, heis disguised as a black poodle, and a real black dogtrots on stage, wagging his tail in a deceptivelyundevilish way. In part two, as Faust speaks the lines,I watch a mirror here of man's whole story", Goethecalled for a rainbow, and r Stein's designer artfullyobliges.

The production is a feast for the eye, even if FerdinandWogerbauer's part one set, as some IBve complained,is too safely conventional. The book-lined sb.ldy at thebeginning in which Faust glumly ponders his life is litby a single gothic window. When Faust andMephistopheles enter the witch's kitchen, she is a trulyugly Halloween witcll. Stefan Mayers design for thesecond part is, suitably enough, more abstract and doesnot follow to the last detail Goethe's instructions forleafy groves and rocky caverns.For theatregoers, it is all an e x h i l a ~ a t i n g experienceand not as wearing as it sounds.

Why did it rrake theatrical sense to followGoethe's our stage dissections?Most of them performed at a high level throughout, nastonishing display of expressive talent and stamina.r Stein split the roles of Faust and Mephistopheles intwo, Bruno Ganz and Christian Nickel were to shareplaying Faust. But Mr Ganz, one of the finest Germanspeakingactors, hurthimselfin rehearsal. For now, therelatively unknown r Nickel must handle the entirerole. Given that he is on stage for six of the play's 15hours, he can perhaps be forgiven for a somewtatuneven perfonmnce. The two actors playingMephistopheles IBve a different problem. One isbrilliant, funny and cynical the other is graver andmore eamest. DorotheeHartingeras Gretchen is a litUetoo sparkly and channing for the plain girl she issupposed to play.

strategies to be formed?A distinction IBs to be drawn between products andcompetencies. While a product is the resultant ofvarious inputs that are organised in an efficientrranner, competencies are grown from within. Theycannot be just organised but will have to be built overa period of time. While products prirrarily requireJacilities, competencies are a combination of peoplewith the requisite know-how acquisition. Thus,competitiveness born out of product superiority can

16/23

easily be eroded when competitors improve theirproducts. On the other hand, competitiveness born outof ingrained competencies can stay longer.The picture before the after the Second World War isproof of the above concept. Even though the physicalfacilities were all devastated, because of basiccompetencies, the people of ermany and Japan couldrebuild the economy in no time. The wheel has come afull circle by the end of the centwy when they are onthe top againl During the 80s, Canon and Honda grewenormous y compared to Xerox and Chrysler. Throughthe adoption of the improvement method competitorsquickly reach c o m p a ~ a b l e standards. What then canstill provide the competitive edge? This is where theadvantage is to be generated through management'sability to consolidate technologies and productionskills into competencies that enable individualbusinesses to seize quickly the changing opportunities.Core competencies, according to Prahiad, are thecollective learning in the o r g ~ n i s a t i o n especially howto co-ordinate diverse production skills and integratemultiple streams of technologies.Often, there is difficulty in identifying what is acompany's core competence. Of course, what it is notcan perhaps be more easily perceived. It is not merelyvertically integrating the business, thereby makingevf Ything under one roof It is not merely usingcommon plant or services facility or sales force.Hamel and Prahalad suggest 3 tests. (I) Corecompetence provides potential access to a wide v a r i of markets; (2) it should make a significcontribution to the perceived customer benefirend product and (3) it should be difficompetitors to imitate. It has been esl.la _companies can build Mrld leadership 5or fundamental competencies. In e, itis easy to see that companies steners,Reliance and Bajaj Auto which e d in theAsia's top 20 companies hav ed built theirfortunes based on the. e t e n c i e s . But thepicture is notal that cl r e g ~ f d to other.Is it the reason wh. e ~ c o m p e t i t i v e globally?The answer is no easy A criticism that islevelled is tha an usiness houses are far toodiversifie sed. The counter-point to. thePrahaladi 1Bs come from Prof Palepu ofthe Business School who says thatdi is not strategically inc01rect in tllis eraof co petence. He argues that core competence isa Western concept and that Asia's large businessgroups can nurture non-conventional competencies. Hesays that diversification in a group can be combinedwith focus in a company. His main contention is thatany organisation is a function of the markets around it.Since lllalkets always don't wotk in developingeconomies like in the Western world, institutionalmechanisms do not exist on their own and this isprecisely provided by large, diversified businessgroups. The five institutional elements identified are

16 t:(I) the market in which a company sells its goods andservices to its consumers; (2) the lllalket in which itgets talent into its companies; (3) the market where itraises its financial resources; (4) the lllalket forcontracts or the I ga system which binds contracts orthe legal system which binds contracts and (5) thedegree of government intervention. According toPalepu, the big business groups actually create theseinstitutions as their core competencies.More often these are intangible and are expensive tobuild and can on y be attempted by I a r g e y l a i ~houses. However, he also mentions that t l f ~ [ t ibuilding will take t least 2 or 3 decathe core competency conceptapplicable.When we consider the abov fits in verywell with the present d ne d e tremendousinfiasl.lucture problems whi the ernment by itselfis just unable to cope with. ea of large businesshouses entering infrasl.lucture area isconsidered to be e one, though it may runcompletely c o idea of core competencies.It Muld a ear ts not all that easy for Indiancompanies m y follow the concept of core ew formula has to be hammered intos a J t t core competencies to identify andvelo what institutional mechanisms are to beed. s will indeed be the turning point.

PASSAGE4While several discoveries in science ever since peoplestarted engaging in organised research activity haveled to a better life for the average human being. itcannot be gainsaid that some have been used to causeuntold misery to vast sections. The developments inscience and technology have proved to be a mixedblessing-marvellous medical discoveries like penicillinand antibiotics have cured diseases whereas theIabrication of the atom bomb has resulted in wipingout entire towns and populations.

Significantly emugh, aconference of geneticists meeting at Azilomar in theU.S. declared a mo.atorium on research for one year,providing a pause for understanding the possible risks

to human health and the environment as a result ofusing genetically-modified organisms. During the I960s, ethics panels were setup in several countries butFrance was the first country to establish a nationalconsultative committee for ethics in the life and healthsciences. A survey rnade three years ago by theUNESCO Bioethics Unit pointed to the functioning ofmore than 200 national ethics committees all over theworld. It is interesting to learn that there is row adiscernible movement from ethics to law with the aimof protecting human rights laced with the challenge ofscience and techmlogy. Again, it is rth mting thatthe Ubter parliamentary Union placed the issue of thelinks between bioethics and human rights on itsagenda.

PASSAGE6Hunger is about people. I is also about oppressionandinequalities. Hunger is about corrupt politicians andcorrupt bureaucracy; it is also about power andpowerlessness. Hunger is about borrowed ideas ofscience and technology and development which havenot IMlrked in local realities; it is also about thedisintegration of local communities; about loss ofvalues, traditions; culture and spirituality. Endinghunger is the important unfinished agenda of thiscentury and of independent India.The world as a whole has achieved dramatic increain food production, enough to cover the minimneeds of the global population Yet h ~ P i fmalnutrition persist in alarming measure inother third World countries.
