1. Exploring the Links Between International Business and Poverty Reduction: A case study of Unilever in Indonesia

Author

Abstract

The role of big business in poverty reduction cannot be overemphasized. This study looks at one of the corporate giants in Indonesia, Unilever, and examines its business activities for their impacts on the poor who along the line link with these activities either directly or indirectly.The study suggests the extent to which the wealth created by business can reduce poverty is determined by many factors, an industry's operating structure and the values and strategies of individual companies within it are critical factors. Likewise, the opportunities open to people living in poverty, and their negotiating power - as citizens, workers, producers, consumers, and community members - are key determinants in the local context. The paper attempts to improve understanding of the relationship between big business and poverty reduction. On signing a Statement of Intent and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Oxfam and Unilever, the two parties agreed to examine activities along Unilever Indonesia's entire value chain, from sourcing of raw materials to the impacts on consumers who purchase UI's products. This had the advantage of giving an overview of this fastmoving consumer-goods (FMCG) company within Indonesia.

39. Seneca's Agamemnon: A Literary Translation with Annotations

Author

Clay, Jason

Subjects
Classical Studies, Seneca, Agamemnon, Translation, Literature
Abstract

This project is a literary translation of Seneca the Younger’s Agamemnon. As the only extant Latin tragedian, Seneca’s work is invaluable to the history of drama. In the past, Seneca’s tragedies were understudied, yet they are now steadily gaining critical attention following a renewed interest in Silver Latin. This project aims to fill one of the gaps that previous inattention has caused: there are not many modern translations of Seneca’s tragedies, with the exception of Fitch’s Loeb, and A.J. Boyle’s translations and commentaries on Senecan tragedies. In my translation and annotation, I hope to underscore what makes Seneca’s tragedies so fascinating and worthy of study. With regards to translation, I tried to remain close to the original Latin, but I also recognize that Seneca’s style can be a bit clunky if one tries to adhere too closely. A major component of Seneca’s style is the influence of rhetoric and declamation, including frequent alliteration and wordplay that I tried to include in my translation. I wanted to highlight the intense emotion these characters feel. These are characters who are struggling to control their heightened emotions, and I hope to catch their struggle. Particular attention was paid to the messenger speech by Eurybates in Act III, which describes the destruction of the Greek fleet on their return from Troy. It is bizarre, otherworldly, and eerie, and I wanted the fear of the sailors to be palpable. With regards to annotation, I wanted to emphasize two primary elements: the ways in which Seneca develops his characters in relation to Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, which also details Agamemnon’s fatal return to Argos, and the use of Silver Latin motifs. While the plays share similarities in their casts of characters, the ways in which they act are remarkably different, especially the figures of Clytemnestra and Aegisthus. Additionally, Seneca highlights what differs Silver Latin from its Gold predecessor. Among these include a high degree of intertextuality, metatheatrical components, and awareness of one’s literary past. My annotations elaborate upon these motifs.

Abstract

This article presents the author's comment on the environmental problems caused by the Shrimp farming industry. According to the author, many businesspeople see natural resources as free for the taking. They count as costs only the labor and investment needed to extract them. There is no thought given to the cost of replacement or maintenance for the resources they use. Shrimp farmers must decide if they indeed want to address the environmental problems their industry has created. Shrimp farmers and others affected by this industry should agree that some practices are better than others and the industry as a whole would benefit from the swift adoption of these improved techniques.
