Translation, Adaptation, and Appropriation in Brook's <i>Mahabharata</i>
No full textIn this article So-Rim Lee closely investigates the Mahābhārata in relation to – but quite distinct from – The Mahabharata: a Play (1985) by Peter Brook and Jean-Claude Carrière. Since the ancient text of the Mahābhārata does not have a definitive author, version, or form, So-Rim Lee argues that Brook and Carrière's framing of their modern reading as an adaptation of the ancient text poses a series of questions regarding the politics of recontextualizing a South Asian text in Western terms, the methodological process involved in doing this, and the ethical stance espoused by the transcultural adapters. She then questions whether the audience actually finds Brook and Carrière's international, multi - racial production as cosmopolitan and multicultural as the authors claim it to be. If The Mahabharata: a Play is a matter of cultural appropriation rather than adaptation, what transgressions are involved in reframing the source text and how does it produce what Gayatri Spivak calls ‘epistemic violence’? Lee is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Theater and Performance Studies at Stanford University. She has previously reviewed for Theatre Survey and Performance Research.</jats:p

Performance Evaluation of Systolic DCNN Accelerators
No full textFor the given deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) models, in this work, we carefully evaluate systolic DNN accelerators associated with different array configurations. In order to find the optimal array structure in terms of the processing efficiency, the open-source evaluation framework is adopted for investigating the relationships between the network architecture and the hardware-level options. We also present the selection criteria of array structure that leads to the efficient accelerator designs.1
Oral History Interview with Darol Lee
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Darol Lee. Lee enlisted in the Marine Corps in June, 1942 and trained at San Diego. He was attached to the Third Marine Division and shipped overseas and landed on Guadalcanal in February, 1943 in time to complete mop-up operations. He also landed at Bougainville, and then later on Guam, where he was wounded by mortar fire and evacuated. He was ambulatory, so he rejoined his unit the next day without having received much treatment. Lee recalls a banzai charge in which his foxhole mate got killed. From there, Lee went to Iwo Jima and landed on the third day. Around the first of March, Lee was wounded and evacuated to Saipan via a hospital ship. He was transported back to the US and was discharged from a hospital in Illinois
