Culture Codes Democracy draws on the experience of some of Europes leading cultural organisations to advocate for the role of artistic and cultural critique in reimagining the ways in which society produces and is produced by new technologies. Emphasising the importance of cultural infrastructures in navigating emerging societal and political landscapes shaped by AI, the publication presents contributions the sector already makes towards more considerate approaches to technological innovation and brings forth a future vision of how the sector can become a key actor shaping Europes path towards digital sovereignty. The three sections - Mediated Realities, Speculative Governance and Hybrid Entities - use concrete examples of artistic and cultural research and practice to reveal the sometimes-invisible technological threads that weave the fabric of the democratic process. The goal is to make the case for arts essential contribution to shaping policies and innovation models, thus rewriting the technological inscriptions left on modern democracies for the better.

When you hear of a devastating earthquake thousands of miles away, you might reach into your pockets to make a donation. Thats the fault of an itinerant Jewish preacher from Palestine, an obscure backwater of the Roman Empire, otherwise known as Jesus Christ. Kindness to strangers is not hardwired in our DNA. Nor was it esteemed by the great canon of ancient Western philosophy the Greeks and Romans prioritised generosity to your friends and family. When Jesus told his followers to give up everything they owned to the poor, he heralded a moral revolution. The needy, the sick, the outcast were to be cared for even if they were unknown to you. This was a tough pill to swallow for early Christians, and to this day, many insist Jesus didnt really mean it. Nonetheless Jesus most radical commandment transformed the moral conscience of the West: its legacy lives on in public hospitals, the billions given in charity each year and even government welfare.

'A remarkable story' - Arun Kundnani, author of The Muslims are Coming! In 2003, 23-year-old Uzair Paracha was arrested by the US government and branded a terrorist. A Pakistani man living in New York, he was accused of providing 'material support' to al-Qaeda - a vague, catch-all charge invented in the chaotic aftermath of 9/11. He was offered a plea deal but refused, knowing he was innocent. What followed was a nightmare: years in solitary confinement, a trial built on fear instead of facts, and a justice system determined to make an example of someone who they thought looked the part. Uzairs case wasnt an anomaly: it was the blueprint. The Man Who Refused to Plead Guilty is more than one mans story: its a stark reflection of the path the US chose after 9/11. A path that reached for demonisation before understanding, punishment before truth. Uzair Parachas experience lays bare the human cost of a vengeful nation, how a heart filled with principle can find some small semblance of justice. Autorid: Uzair S. Paracha, Denise LeBoeuf, Asim Qureshi

'A stunningly magical and sexy debut' - Rebecca Thorne Love grows in the most unimaginable of places . . . After a lonely childhood, Clara Thorne is finally living "happily ever after" as the magically-gifted gardener for the town of Moss. Sure, her closest companion is a surly hedgehog, and she's forever stuck on the first line of her novel, but she has a home. That is, until The Goddess chooses Clara for an important quest-travel to the cursed town of Dwindle and grow them a garden. In less than a month. Only Clara's hiding a terrible secret: her magic doesn't work outside Moss. Worse, The Goddess has assigned the absurdly sexy, annoyingly cheerful Hesper Altanfall to keep her safe. Clara would rather eat thorns than accept help-especially since Hesper insists that Clara's magic is bound to her heart, not her home. Nevertheless, the two can't help growing closer as they traverse enchanted woods and share tavern beds. But with an ancient evil threatening from the shadows, saving Dwindle will require more than enchanted crops. Clara will need to unearth a magic she's always believed impossible. Enchantment is in the air in this sweet, spicy queer fantasy romance for fans of The Spellshop and The Princess Bride.

A major new work from the world’s leading writer on artLandscapes, the companion volume to John Berger’s highly acclaimed Portraits, explores what art tells us about ourselves. “Berger’s work is an invitation to reimagine; to see in different ways,” writes Tom Overton in the introduction to this volume. As a master storyteller and thinker John Berger challenges readers to rethink their every assumption about the role of creativity in our lives. In this brilliant collection of diverse pieces—essays, short stories, poems, translations—which spans a lifetime’s engagement with art, John Berger reveals how he came to his own unique way of seeing. He pays homage to the writers and thinkers who infuenced him, such as Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht. His expansive perspective takes in artistic movements and individual artists—from the Renaissance to the present—while never neglecting the social and political context of their creation. Berger pushes at the limits of art writing, demonstrating beautifully how his artist’s eye makes him a storyteller in these essays, rather than a critic. With “landscape” as an animating, liberating metaphor rather than a rigid defnition, this collection surveys the aesthetic landscapes that have informed, challenged and nourished John Berger’s understanding of the world. Landscapes—alongside Portraits—completes a tour through the history of art that will be an intellectual benchmark for many years to come. Autorid: John Berger, Tom Overton, Tom Overton

Marc Haeberlin has a sublime culinary heritage: following in the footsteps of his father Paul, he is the fourth generation to cook at the Auberge de L'Ill in Illhaeusern, which has been in existence for over 150 years, and has held 3 stars in the Michelin guide for 50 years. He has also worked alongside Paul Bocuse, and Jean and Pierre Troisgros. According to the Michelin Guide: 'The Auberge de l'Ill is much more than just a restaurant. It embodies the Alsatian inn in all its glory - an inviting and friendly place, untouched by the passage of time, where every customer is welcomed like a member of the family... It is an institution in the region, but also renowned throughout France and beyond. Since it was established in 1882 the restaurant has made a name for itself thanks to its matelote with riesling and dishes based on local game. Marc Haeberlin, grandson of the founders, now serves the classical repertoire (foie gras terrine served by the spoonful, frog's leg mousseline, and salmon souffle) alongside more modern creations.' The legend lives on and has expanded with the creation of the Hotel des Berges and the opening of three Auberges de l'Ill in Japan. Laurent Dupont's magnificent photographs throughout the book capture not only the elegance of the plated recipes but the beauty of the countryside and especially the Ill, the placid river flowing under the willows past the family's inn.

For people drawn to a life of contemplation, the dawning of luminous awareness in a mind full of clutter is deeply liberating. In the third of his best-selling books on Christian contemplative life, Martin Laird turns his attention to those who are well settled in their contemplative practice.An Ocean of Light speaks both to those just entering the contemplative path and to those with a maturing practice of contemplation. Gradually, the practice of contemplation lifts the soul, freeing it from the blockages that introduce confusion into our identity and thus confusion about the mystery we call God. In the course of a lifetime of inner silencing, the flower of awareness emerges: a living realization that we have never been separate from God or from the rest of humanity while we each fully become what each of us is created to be. In contemplation we become so silent before God that the "before" drops away. Those whose lives have led them deeply into the silent land realize this, but not in the way that we realize that the square root of 144 is 12.Laird draws from a wide and diverse range of writers--from St. Augustine, Evagrius Ponticus, and St. Teresa of Avila to David Foster Wallace, Flannery O'Connor, Virginia Woolf, and Franz Wright--to ground his insight in an ancient practice and give it a voice in contemporary language. With his characteristic lyricism and gentleness, Laird guides readers through new challenges of contemplative life, such as making ourselves the focus of our own contemplative project; dealing with old pain; transforming the isolation of loneliness and depression into a liberating solidarity with all who suffer; and the danger of using a spiritual practice as a strategy to acquire and control. Autorid: Martin Laird

A history of the city of Seoul through the lens of architecture and urban life.Seoul Urban Architecture is a powerful and original study of Seoul’s urban and architectural evolution, told through the lens of an architect and educator who has lived and worked in the city for over four decades. In his book, which is part memoir, part cultural history, and part urban analysis, Sung Hong Kim traces how South Korea’s capital—once a walled city shaped by Confucian ideals—has become a sprawling, vertical metropolis marked by rapid modernization, deep structural contradictions, and a fierce, creative resilience. Organized into four parts, Kim surveys Seoul’s urban landscape from the late fourteenth century to the aftermath of the Korean War, illuminating the layers of occupation, destruction, and imposed planning that have shaped the city’s foundation. He guides the reader through periods of urban, legal, technological, and cultural constraints that eventually gave birth to new vitality, creativity, and innovation from an emerging generation of architects. His reflections on displacement, constraint, and ingenuity speak to a broader global condition faced by architects and urban designers alike: how to find meaning and agency within environments shaped by forces beyond their control. At once personal and panoramic, Seoul Urban Architecture offers a vital perspective on this city of paradoxes, where fragments of history coexist with radical new forms, and where the uneven fabric of urban life reveals the story of a nation that has risen, in several bursts, from the ruins of war and colonization to become a cultural and economic powerhouse. Autorid: Sung Hong Kim

During World War II, the United States earned the nickname "the Arsenal of Democracy" due to its sheer productive output. The hardware turned out in US factories included over 3 million trucks and jeeps, 86,000 tanks, 6,750 naval platforms, 300,000 aircraft of all types. It was also the Arsenal of Democracy in a second sense, as a large portion of that hardware was supplied to countries fighting fascism. When Franklin D. Roosevelt introduced the Lend-Lease Act, Allied countries of the anti-fascist coalition were supplied with aid, hardware, and food. Beyond material aid, the United States hosted and trained over 15,000 foreign pilots between 1941 and 1945. This book presents the history of one such training program, where 532 Dutch pilots, crew and other personnel were trained on United States soil over 21 months. A unique case, the Netherlands remained financially solvent while other Allied powers struggled with funds. With the Japanese army intent on invading the Netherlands East Indies, it was critical that the Dutch army strengthen their air power. When resistance fell on the NEI island of Java and Australia became the new front line, Dutch authorities were forced to relocate their training program to Jackson, Mississippi, where they would christen the Royal Netherlands Military Flying School. Here they would train on bases in over a dozen states, representing a high point for the Dutch air force during a grueling time. After their training, the RNMFS participated in the liberation of NEI from Japanese occupation. This history presents in full context the training of Dutch air personnel on U.S. soil under the Lend-Lease Act, their easy rapport with their American hosts, and their future efforts which would go on to establish the Netherlands as an integral part of the Allied cause.

Travelling to Italy on their honeymoon, Erszi and Mihaly are ready to take in all the beauties and pleasures of the country. But when they reach Venice, it is clear that Mihaly prefers to roam around the back alleys and the canals on his own, and as they continue their journey through the Bel Paese there is a growing sense of unrest between them, until Mihaly misses the train to Rome they were due to take together. Wandering alone from city to city, with his marriage rapidly falling apart, Mihaly must confront the ghosts of his past and try to find a sense of purpose.Originally written in 1937, and here presented in a brilliant new translation by Peter V. Czipott, Antal Szerb's gently humorous and psychologically subtle exploration into the workings of a budding bourgeois marriage has been hailed as one of the great rediscovered classics of the twentieth century.

• Designs for 56 Iron Age bands • Illustrations of original archaeological finds • Completely new tablet-weaving technique discovered • From tiny finishing bands to spectacular belt bands Finland has a unique tablet weaving culture dating back a thousand years to the Finnish Iron Age when weavers created incredibly elaborate bands. Thanks to new, thorough research by the authors, these bands and their weaving techniques are now revived for the modern people to admire and to weave. Tablet weaving has a simple basic principle. A square tablet has a hole in each corner and yarns going through the holes. The threading direction, the colour of the yarns, the direction of the tablets, and the way they are turned – all of them affect the outcome: will the band be beautiful in its simplicity, or impressive in its intricacy. All the bands in this book are based on archaeological finds from Finland. Tablet-woven treasures buried in the ground a thousand years ago have come alive again.
