Résumé:
"Speaking memory" evokes the complex "language-scapes" that form at the crossroads of culture and history in cities. While engaging with current debates on the nature and role of translation in globalized urban landscapes, the contributors offer a series of detailed and nuanced readings of “translational” cities - their histories, their construction and transformation in memory, and the artistic projects that tell their stories. Defining cities as fields of translational forces where languages are both in conversation and in tension, translation in "Speaking memory" is stretched beyond its usual confines, encompassing literary, artistic, and cultural practices that permeate everyday contemporary life.

Résumé:
''Layered Landscapes Lofoten, Understanding of Complexity, Otherness and Change'' aims to challenge internalized concepts about how landscapes are considered and investigated, to open for alternative research, and legitimize subjective, singular and experimental approaches as valid and appreciated as a foundation for an informed process. These approaches take into consideration both the landscape and the practices taking place in the landscape, that are consistently full of individual and collective stories and experiences - the complexity created in both time and space, which influences our societies not only as traces of historical events, but as present realities and even expectations and what is to become.

Résumé:
'Twin Mirror' is a publication of two new short stories: small parables in comics form. These dream sequences are in deliberate contrast to one another. The first story is set in the titular 'Hermetic Library', in which we stumble upon a seemingly ever-expanding room, the walls of which are completely covered with untitled books. The second story, 'Synopsis', deals with the elemental fear of the white page. The work in 'Twin Mirrors' is a minimalist affair: the comics herein are strictly handmade, using only traditional tools (i.e. nib pens, manga screentone foil, Letraset and Mecanorma lettering).

A self-described accumulation of design-related stories that would make good dinner discussions with friends, this second instalment of Works That Work follows a thread of interest that begins with Kester Freriks’ focus on the noise-reducing landscape surrounding Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, then sees Ed van Hinte recounting the remarkable story of the Boeing 747, which was designed around the specifications of the intermodal container, the complex global impact of which is described by Marc Levinson. Globalisation is further investigated by Suzanne Wales and Peter Bil’ak, through smuggling, trade and the portable lamp, and Hans Wilschut finds fake trees in Johannesburg.
