Editor's Note:
Europas & bullsThe EditorsA logo might start as a designer’s whim. Only then does one look for meanings to fill it with. On Europas: mythic, artistic, fictional, political, psychological, satirical, and finally unfinished.ESSAYУкраїна вчора і завтраOksana ForostynaУкраїна не стала епіцентром світової історії раптово. Україна стала епіцентром світової історії знову.Ukraine yesterday & tomorrowOksana ForostynaUkraine didn’t become an epicenter of world history all of a sudden; it became an epicenter again.REVIEWBeyond thalassophobiaWalter GrünzweigGerman vice-chancellor Robert Habeck has more than twenty books to his name: fiction, drama, literary criticism, and non-fiction. It is tempting to read his fiction for glimpses of Green political futures, and his literary criticism for similar clues. How experimental can a literary politician be?ESSAYThe prodigal half-roosterLinda KinstlerWhen they were first released, Maggie Nelson’s On Freedom and Lea Ypi’s Free spoke past one another from half a world away. But both ask whether the many freedoms we enjoy mean anything if they are not practiced in public, and if they are not passed on—and whether the word « freedom » means anything at all.REVIEWPlace, non-place, placeYamandu Roos« What happened was that we were driving on the highway from Izola towards Koper when we saw a drummer on the side of the road. So I immediately drove to the side of the road and reversed my car and asked if I could take some pictures. »PEARLOptimize this headline for Google*Alexander FantaGoogle’s rise to dominance can seem inevitable, and its power over publishers monolithic. Yet Google’s wanton disruption of publishing resembles evolution more than intelligent design. Journalists, publishers, regulators, and scholars are left grappling with our new, random god.Optimiere diese Schlagzeile für Google*Alexander FantaGoogles Dominanz erscheint heute unausweichlich. Googles mutwillige Störung des Verlagswesens ähnelt eher der Evolution als intelligentem Design. Journalisten, Verleger, Regulierungsbehörden und Wissenschaftler müssen mit ihrer neuen, chaotischen Gottheit zu Recht kommen.ESSAYBee Gees FAQAnne DiestelkampFragen, Antworten, Quintessenzen.PEARLAll is not vanityNoga ArikhaLose, delete, restore. What to remember when everything is always, forever, in a digital now?ESSAY« When I was silent… »— Interview with Sulaiman AddoniaSander PleijStop! I am doing what they all do: presenting writer Sulaiman Addonia as one-who-has-suffered, because he grew up as a refugee. The problem is, in part, a problem of genre. Suffering has become an interviewer’s crutch.INTERVIEWOn learning to write againAdania ShibliRamallah, downtown, fifth floor. The phone rings and the caller's number appears on the screen. It's an unknown number. And yet a call that comes at this hour must be answered.تعلُّم الكتابة من جديدAdania Shibliرام الله، وسط البلد، الطابق الخامس. يرن الهاتف ويظهر رقم المتّصل على الشاشة. إنه ليس لأحد معارفنا، فالرقم غير معروف. مع ذلك، يتطلّبُ اتصال هاتفي في ساعة مبكِّرةٍ كهذه الردَّ عليه.ESSAYHow to write; or, how to insultClaire WeedaShoulders were slapped, fingers pointed, hearts fired up. Perhaps a little scuffle broke out after class, a boisterous wrestling over insults exchanged. Nothing to be concerned about. Acquiring knowledge was, after all, a combative affair.PEARLWhy we writeAli SmithA letter to George Orwell. « All narrative is hypnotic. Some narratives are more hypnotic than others. Because of you, we can be conscious of the kinds and the workings of the narratives that set out to deaden us, lessen us, make us lie, make us part of the lie. »ESSAYThe void that fills the voidIrina DumitrescuRelics, and the places devoted to their worship, dotted the map of Europe and the Middle East. Saints, like today’s celebrities, were both omnipresent and faraway, once-vulnerable people who became something more than human.PEARLBallad of a Homburg hatPeter L'OfficialOn racial metonymy and the art of misidentification. (Meanwhile: has a glass of beer ever been more crisply and deliciously depicted? Has the froth of a European pilsner ever looked so delectable?)ESSAYA breast is a breast is a breastAlide CagidemetrioTo contemplate Pompeii is to contemplate archeology in its most extreme form, framed by the wish not only for discovery, but for resurrection.ESSAYOn paths not takenUğur Ümit ÜngörAs an academic field, « Genocide Studies » is a house with many rooms. It accommodates and even encourages a broadening of its central concept. And like all academic fields, it presumes its object of study will always be there.PEARLWhat is a pillar?Rem KoolhaasIn 2010, OMA was invited to take part in a competition for the Damascus National Museum. It was part of a concerted effort to establish connections with Bashar al-Assad, toward a political « rapprochement ». Three months later, the entire effort was cancelled. Civil war was about to break out.ESSAYTo see a cityAlexander Wells« What if all fictional characters from novels continue to dwell somewhere, just like the dead? » Daniela Hodrová’s City of Torment (Trýznivé město) is a magical-realist trilogy set in Prague. Her fragmented narratives, sewn together, make something deeply European.REVIEWInto the muckNoam MaggorTime? For? Socialism? What happened when Thomas Piketty descended from the elegant mathematical Olympus of economic theory into the muck of political and economic crises, public debates, social confrontations, and competing visions of progress?REVIEWBy misadventureDavid MitchellA short story about vertigo from the author of Utopia Avenue, Cloud Atlas and Black Swan Green. « Possibly a dare, or a rite of passage, hung in the air.

Оксана Васякина переделывает русское пространство—и русский роман—для женских миров.Woman is spaceCaroline Tracey« Space », or prostranstvo, is a key word for understanding the literary and philosophical history of Russia. Oksana Vasyakina’s Rana (Wound), a Siberian road novel, remakes the Russian landscape and the Russian novel for women’s worlds. It renders prostranstvo unruly, polysemous, queer.REVIEWFirsts in spaceArtemy M. KalinovskyA friend of mine likes to say that the moon landing was real, but dumb. On astronautical tokenism.PEARLCretan Europa’s second comingKalypso NicolaïdisCitizen’s day in Fiesole, December 2021.
