Summary:
The eighth issue of ‘Flaneur’ is devoted to the intersection of Kangding Road and Wanda Road in Taipei, a crossroads of layered colonial and urban histories. Taipei had always held a certain fascination for the editorial team, so when the opportunity arose to do a three-month artist residency at Taipei Art Village Treasure Hill, they seized the moment. In an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort, the axis is mapped out from different angles, revealing the layers, colonial implications, unvoiced stories, and contradictions of this place of displacements. With diverse contributions by more than fifteen local artists and writers, the magazine delves into the oldest part of the Taiwanese capital.

Summary:
What aesthetic practices have Palestinians been employing throughout their revolutionary anti-colonial tradition, both historically and in contemporary times? How can we read the performative gestures, image-making techniques, and singing replete inPalestine’s streets as ones embedded within a collective psychosocial and material experience and not as arbitrary isolated events? In An Echo in Search of its Shadow, Aesthetics of the Repressed Adam HajYahia and Haitham Haddad formulate an aesthetic theory of revolt by examining anti-colonial praxis. Unfolding through analysis, image-making, and poetics, HajYahia and Haddad assemble a new framework from which to understand dialectics between the visual and the audial, body and soul, form and content.

Summary:
This book names and wrestles with design and institutional design education’s pseudo-neutral relationship with colonial capitalist world orders and what it means to teach and design today. It slowly weaves together ideas on designing as a mechanism of maintenance and teaching against bureaucratic inertia. How does design give form to social fictions? How does design and the professionalization of design schooling maintain the priorities of nations and capital? Engaging in pedagogical expressions of rage, generosity, forgiveness, slowness, and chaos; contributions of lecture, essay and interview reflect on the weight of being, the possibilities and sometimes impossibilities towards un-doing and un-maintaining the enduring legacies of colonial powers.

Summary:
After an issue dedicated to the persistent structures of colonial domination and racialization in western and northern European societies, The Funambulist 55 (Sep-Oct 2024) Asian Imperialisms intends to decenter Europe, and examine historical and present processes of imperial and/or colonial domination by seven arguably ethnocratic Asian states, namely, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation (and the Soviet Union), India, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey (alongside Azerbaijan). This “Asian” denomination chosen for this issue’s title follows historic examples of solidarity at this massive continental scale, the most famous one being the 1955 Afro–Asian Conference in Bandung. The cover is an artwork by Korean artist Kyungmi Shin

Summary:
This book compiles for the first time a representative selection of his (partly unpublished) texts, along with a series of interviews. As in his artworks, Friedl’s writings quote from and rework multiple genres. He offers reviews and portraits of George Sand and Clarice Lispector, of Alighiero Boetti and Jean-Luc Godard; articles and documents contributing to theater and film history, which examine the work of, among others, Richard Foreman, Robert Wilson, or Glauber Rocha; as well as comments and reflections on his own projects. Alongside these are essays delving deep into the past, exploring mainly colonial history and its paradoxical traces in the present: narratives about Haiti, South Africa, and Italy’s repressed colonial rule in Africa.

Summary:
Emerging in the death throes of colonial rule, the story of ''Tropical Modernism'' is one of politics and power, decolonization and defiance. Its leading proponents, British architects Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry, adapted a utopian Bauhaus-derived Modernist aesthetic to hot and humid conditions. After Independence, ''Tropical Modernism'' was championed by leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru and Kwame Nkrumah as a symbol of freedom, progressiveness and internationalism in monumental projects such as Chandigarh in Punjab planned by Le Corbusier and Black Star Square in Accra designed by Victor Adegbite. Scrutinizing the colonial narratives surrounding ''Tropical Modernism'', and foregrounding the experience of African and Indian practitioners, this book reassesses an architectural style which has increasing relevance in today’s changing climate.
