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.

''Recipe'' reveals the surprising lessons that recipes teach, in addition to the obvious instructions on how to prepare a dish or perform a process. These include lessons in hospitality, friendship, community, family and ethnic heritage, tradition, nutrition, precision and order, invention and improvisation, feasting and famine, survival and seduction and love. A recipe is a signature, as individual as the cook's fingerprint; a passport to travel the world without leaving the kitchen; a lifeline for people in hunger and in want; and always a means to expand one's worldview, if not waistline.

Le projet initial de la psychogéographie n'a pas résisté à la radicalité politique des situationnistes. Pourtant, en nous affranchissant de la définition précise et restrictive proposée par Debord, il devient possible de considérer que la psychogéographie est à la fois héritière d'une tradition, interlocutrice de ses contemporains et initiatrice d'une postérité. Réunissant des auteurs d'horizons disciplinaires variés (philosophie, géographie, urbanisme, psychanalyse, sinologie), ce volume incite à une réflexion théorique, historique et littéraire sur ce que nous apprend l'expérience de la dérive urbaine aujourd'hui.
