        The Peeps

        Ancoats: the presence of absence

        by Dan Dubowitz

        Ancoats, in Manchester, was once unimaginably different. One of the world's earliest industrial suburbs, it was dark and dense, noisy, frenetic, violent and unhealthy. It was also vibrant and creative. It had a striking vapour, sound and feel. The area today has undergone a striking regeneration. New streets, pavements and civic spaces have been laid down. A series of installations, known as The Peeps, have been created for the area. Built into the fabric of the buildings, the brass peep holes offer a fleeting glimpse of a walled-in space, a tunnel, a disused toilet, a bell tower, a gauge. Dan Dubowitz, given the title of 'cultural masterplanner', records through photographs, interviews, commentary and contemporaneous texts, the recent past and the current regeneration of the suburb. It is a fascinating, beautifully illustrated and designed volume that eloquently depicts the common narrative of industrialisation, slow decay and rebirth.

        Citizen Manchester

        by Dan Dubowitz, Alan Ward

        In 2008, Manchester decided to embark on a counter-cyclical project, much as the city fathers had done in the last great recession, and invest significantly in two civic buildings, two buildings that were cornerstones of the making of the first modern industrialised city: Manchester Town Hall Extension and Manchester Central Library. Early on in this major redevelopment project, artists Dan Dubowitz and Alan Ward were given privileged and open access to witness this transformational period in the life of these two iconic buildings. Through large-format photographs and interviews taken and conducted over a period of eighteen months, they captured the moment when the city's citizens and workers had been locked out and the spaces were being stripped bare; revealing both a glimpse of what they had been and what they might become. The artwork provides insights on the reciprocal relationship between people and place, and reveals how the refurbishment of a building can go far beyond physical refurbishment, questioning the relationships between a city, its citizens and place.

        ENRIQUE MELAKA

        by Abdul Latip Talib, Nor Azmi

        Enrique from Malacca is a man of Malay descent who participated in Ferdinand Magellan's voyage around the world. Enrique became a slave of the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan in 1511 at the age of 14 when the Portuguese colonized Malacca. Enrique is documented to have traveled with Magellan from Malacca to Cebu in two segments, namely from Malacca to Portugal in 1511, and from Spain to Cebu from 1519 to 1521. Enrique's name is recorded in the list of names of the main crew in the voyage to the Moluccas led by Magellan, which is Trinidad.Some historians argue that it is possible that Enrique was the first person to circumnavigate the globe and return to his starting point. However, there are no records or sources to confirm this. Is it true that Enrique was the first Malay to circumnavigate the world?

        Ratu Isabella

        by Abdul Latip Talib, Nor Azmi

        Andalusia reached the peak of the glory of Islamic art civilization with the construction of the Alhambra palace in Granada during the reign of the Nasriyyah kingdom. The rulers of the Christian kingdom always attacked the Islamic kingdom in order to take back the colonies that were occupied by Islam and then eliminate Islam.   The Christian dream of seeing the Islamic rule wiped out in Andalusia was successfully fulfilled by Queen Isabella and her husband, King Ferdinand when they conquered Granada, the last stronghold of the Muslims.   Abu Abdullah became the last Muslim ruler in Andalusia when he was forced to surrender Granada to the hands of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. When leaving Granada, she shed tears until her mother said, "Don't cry like a woman for something you can't stand like a man.

        KEINDAHAN KAIN TENUN SONGKET MALAYSIA (THE BEAUTY OF MALAYSIAN SONGKET)

        by Norwani Md. Nawawi, Azhar Abd Jamil dan Elliza Hashim

        The Beauty of Malaysian Songket (Keindahan Kain Tenun Songket Malaysia) is one of the publications created by The National Department for Arts and Culture in 2022. This exclusive publication on Malaysian songket encompasses bilingual documented material in both Malay and English that will fulfill the needs of a diverse audience. It also incorporates augmented reality (AR) technology, which will be a pioneering feat and will set a new benchmark for future academic publications. Prof Norwani Md. Nawawi, the author of the book, conducted thorough research involving many of the main songket figures in Terengganu, Kelantan, Pahang, Melaka, Johor and Sarawak. It is hoped that the publication of this book will add to the references on artistic cultural heritage and at the same time provide a clear testament that songket is a treasure of national heritage that should remain as one of the catalysts for national civilisation.

        Die Haut der Träume

        Roman

        by Raymond Queneau, Eugen Helmlé

        Jacques l’Aumône wächst als Sohn eines Schuhfabrikanten in Rueil bei Paris auf. Aus dem ereignislosen Alltag flüchtet er sich ins Kino, in die Welt der Stummfilme und der unbegrenzten Vorstellungskraft. So glaubt er, dass in Wahrheit der exzentrische und verkannte Dichter Louis Philippe Des Cigales sein Vater sei, und beginnt, selbst Gedichte zu schreiben. Als Erwachsener strebt er eine Karriere als Profiboxer an, heiratet dann aber Suzanne, mit der er in die Provinz zieht. Dort hält man ihn für einen Chemiker und erlaubt ihm, waghalsige Experimente im Labor durchzuführen. Jahre später trifft er auf einen Freund aus der Kindheit. Eine Begegnung, die ihn dazu bringt, Suzanne und den gemeinsamen Sohn zu verlassen, nur um sich sogleich in das nächste Abenteuer zu stürzen. Die Haut der Träume ist eine Geschichte der Tagträume. Ihr Held versucht sich an hundert verschiedenen Lebensformen, alles scheint möglich. Vom König bis zum Cowboy stürzt er sich in glanzvolle Karrieren, erlebt manche Niederlage und steht am Ende vor dem großen Triumph. Queneau stellt sich die Frage nach der Beschaffenheit menschlicher Sehnsüchte. Ein mitreißender Roman über das Erwachsenwerden und die Kraft der Fantasie. In filmischen Szenen, mit beschwingtem, bisweilen bissigem Humor, zeichnet Queneau die Träumereien seines Helden auf. Der Erfindungsreichtum, der seine späteren Werke wie Stilübungen und Zazie in der Metro so charakterisiert, scheint erkennbar bereits in Die Haut der Träume auf. Queneau, Gründer des französischen Autorenkreises Oulipo, der »Werkstatt für potentielle Literatur«, gehört zu den interessantesten Stilisten des 20. Jahrhunderts.

        Heiße Küste

        Roman

        by Marguerite Duras, Georg Goyert

        Ja, sie ist sehr heiß, die Küste am Pazifik, unerträglich heiß. Die Ebene ist sumpfig, die Wüste unfruchtbar. Und die Menschen sind bitterarm. Alle drei, die Mutter, Suzanne und Joseph, hatten den Kauf eines Pferdes für eine gute Idee gehalten. Ein Pferd mit Wagen würde hinausführen aus der Gottverlassenheit ihres Lebens, würde sie nach Ram bringen, und beim Anblick von Menschen würden sie Trost und Zerstreuung finden. Das Pferd aber fraß nicht, es ließ den Kopf hängen und war nach acht Tagen krepiert.
