Topic: Draeger


In the News (Fri 10 Jul 09)

  
  Christoph Draeger
Draeger is interested in how people deal with catastrophes, disasters of natural or man-made origin, and in the meaninglessness of this distinction when the disaster actually occurs.
For Draeger, a disaster is primarily a situation in which people and their actions can change radically.
Draeger’s "Apocalypso Place"  consists of a hurricane-ravaged living room, in which a television is playing American broadcaster SNBC’s "24-Hour Disaster and Survival Channel." Three "survivors" of the disaster talk exclusively in advertising slogans and media one-liners, trying to keep afloat with old patterns, illusions, and false truths.

 Amazon.com: Japanese Swordsmanship : Technique And Practice: Books: Donn F. Draeger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Draeger comments that, especially since WWII, as a result of various changes in the teaching curriculum of Iaido it has become a more formalized, aesthetic art and has lost touch with the original combative, samurai aspect of the art.
So although I respect Draeger and understand that his concern is genuine and arises from that fact that he's a sincere, hard-nosed traditionalist on this issue, I would point out that it's not really practical to do this anymore.
The samurai of old practiced and trained in the discipline of Iaido in the dojo because their lives depended on it, and then their skills were ultimately tested and forged on the crucible of the battlefield and in individual duels and combat.

Draeger sets the triviality of the picture puzzle against images of dreadful events to evoke the pull between cold curiosity and instinctive recoil that such events trigger.
