The Travel Almanac #1: David Lynch

Issue 1 (Spring/Summer 2011) of The Travel Almanac explores the topics of traveling and temporary habitation from the personal perspectives of innovative figures in the fashion, music, art, and film worlds. Addressing an increasingly mobilized creative community, it is the first publication of its kind to speak to this sophisticated generation of travelers. The plurality of this community inspires the magazine to focus on individual’s personal experiences and the effects of travel on their lives and work.

The first issue features original interviews and conversations with director, David Lynch; Javier Peres, Los Angeles/Berlin-based gallerist, curator, and owner of Peres Projects; Andy McCluskey, lead signer of the legendary 80’s band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark; James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem; art-star Terence Koh, as well as many other cultural icons and innovators. The issue also contains a feature on Japanese Ryokans (ultra-traditional countryside hotels), as well as personal travel stories, and reviews of the most exceptional and interesting hotels worldwide.

Shifter17: Re___ing

Re___ing, exists both within Rethinking Marxism’s upcoming issue (Vol. 23 No. 2) as well as a new issue of Shifter. This folding of one identity into another, a re within a Re and the resultant destabilization of both frames of reference, is precisely the nature of Re___ing.

Here, contributors engage a variety of gestures tied to reproducing by deploying palimpsestic archives culled from historical documents, proposing morphological relations as historic fact and ultimately forcing procedures of mimicry, translation and interpretation to their limit. This limit or threshold in many instances is defined here through the body and its traces, actions, delusions and dreams which may often remain utterly irreproducible.

Editors: Sreshta Rit Premnath, Matthew Metzger

Contributors: Thom Donovan, Tamar Guimarães, Patricia Esquivias, Susan Jahoda, Erik Wenzel, Patrizio Di Massimo, Alicja Kwade, Adrian Williams, Mike Schuh, Lisa Zaher, Zachary Cahill, Arnold Kemp, Jean Marc Superville Sovak, Corinna Kirsch

Kultur & Gespenster – Ausgabe 12, Frühling 2011

Die 12. Ausgabe des Magazins Kultur & Gespenster ist fast ein bisschen zu schön geworden und widmet sich ausschließlich der Märchensammlung von Karl Müllenhoff, welche er 1845 veröffentlichte.

Kultur & Gespenster bringt einen Teil der Sagen, Märchen und Lieder der Herzogtümer Schleswig, Holstein und Lauenburg, ergänzt um ein Gespräch zwischen dem Mediävisten und Literaturwissenschaftler Hartmut Freytag und dem Künstler Alexander Rischer, welcher im Herbst vergangenen Jahres etliche Fahrradtouren durchs Holsteinische unternahm, um die Originalschauplätze der Märchen für dieses Heft zu fotografieren.

Wunderbarerweise waren fast alle Orte zu finden: Heidnische Kultstätten, Quellen, Bäume, Kirchen, Glocken, Plätze für Mirakel und Rechtshändel, auch versunkene Orte und solche, an denen der Teufel den Übermut strafte. Gespenster, Irrlichter, Zauberer, Werwölfe, Teufelspferde, Drachen, Zwerge und weiße Frauen gehörten zum Alltag. Nicht zu sprechen von den Seuchen, Vorzeichen und Weissagungen, den versunkenen Schlössern, Grabhügeln, schlafenden Helden und Heeren, verhängnisvollen Bäumen und natürlich den überall vergrabenen Schätzen.
