The Membranes
Author: Chi Ta-wei
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231551444
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
It is the late twenty-first century, and Momo is the most celebrated dermal care technician in all of T City. Humanity has migrated to domes at the bottom of the sea to escape devastating climate change. The world is dominated by powerful media conglomerates and runs on exploited cyborg labor. Momo prefers to keep to herself, and anyway she’s too busy for other relationships: her clients include some of the city’s best-known media personalities. But after meeting her estranged mother, she begins to explore her true identity, a journey that leads to questioning the bounds of gender, memory, self, and reality. First published in Taiwan in 1995, The Membranes is a classic of queer speculative fiction in Chinese. Chi Ta-wei weaves dystopian tropes—heirloom animals, radiation-proof combat drones, sinister surveillance technologies—into a sensitive portrait of one young woman’s quest for self-understanding. Predicting everything from fitness tracking to social media saturation, this visionary and sublime novel stands out for its queer and trans themes. The Membranes reveals the diversity and originality of contemporary speculative fiction in Chinese, exploring gender and sexuality, technological domination, and regimes of capital, all while applying an unflinching self-reflexivity to the reader’s own role. Ari Larissa Heinrich’s translation brings Chi’s hybrid punk sensibility to all readers interested in books that test the limits of where speculative fiction can go.

Provincials
Author: Sumana Roy
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300277644
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
An enchanting and joyous exploration of life and creativity at the geographical edges of the modern world Who is a provincial? In this subversive book, Sumana Roy assembles a striking cast of writers, artists, filmmakers, cricketers, tourist guides, English teachers, lovers and letter writers, private tutors and secret-keepers whose lives and work provide varied answers to that question. Combining memoir with the literary, sensory, and emotional history of an ignored people, she challenges the metropolitan’s dominance to reclaim the joyous dignity of provincial life, its tics and taunts, enthusiasms and tragicomedies. In a wide-ranging series of “postcards” from the peripheries of India, Europe, America, and the Middle East, Roy brings us deep into the imaginative world of those who have carried their provinciality like a birthmark. Ranging from Rabindranath Tagore to William Shakespeare, John Clare to the Bhakti poets, T. S. Eliot to J. M. Coetzee, V. S. Naipaul to the Brontës, and Kishore Kumar to Annie Ernaux, she celebrates the provincials’ humor and hilarity, playfulness and irony, belatedness and instinct for carefree accidents and freedom. Her unprecedented account of provincial life offers an alternative portrait of our modern world.

Book Description
Celebrating Craze For Cuisines From Home & Away Food is the elixir of life, literally. A culinary revolution is fermenting in the state with Bhubaneswar leading the trend. Our Cover Story takes a look at how foodies in the state capital are opening up to new dishes and exotic delicacies from other parts of the country and beyond. The growing demand has proved a boon for the hotel industry too with new restaurants, cafes and food malls coming up to rake in the moolah. What’s more, big national and international chains are also opening shop, adding spice to the food scene. Cuttack and Puri, on the other hand, still strike a traditional note with their servings of age-old favourites like Dahibara-Aloodum, Ghugni, Khaja, Cha, Chops and the ilk. Recently, however, they are also catching up with changing food tastes and adding new varieties to their menus for locals and tourists alike. Food streets have also witnessed a sea change with foreign entrants like Pizzas, Burgers and Lasagne jostling for space with traditional fares like Biryani, Chowmein and Dosa. And the catering is also changing with new concepts like food trucks and Khau Gallis making an appearance. But all said and done, Odisha continues its romance with cherished ‘home cooked’ food. This is most evident during Odia festivals and the unique dishes and savouries associated with each of them. In City Lights, we talk about the first Corporate Icon Awards organised by My City Links which was a grand success and witnessed Odia entrepreneurs come together to celebrate excelllence. The third edition of Bhubaneswar Runway Week was also organised on the occasion with Mr. World Rohit Khandelwal and Ollywood actress Anu Choudhary being the show stoppers. The section also throws light on India’s first sports and innovation festival organised in Bhubaneswar by Xavier Emlyon Business School and Sports Department, Government of Odisha which witnessed participation of 12 sports start-ups from all across India. In Transit Lounge, we catch up with veteran actor and filmmaker Amol Palekar who was in the city for his play, ‘Kasur’. Palekar, who is back on stage after 25 years, shares about his eventful journey. We also interact with eminent writer Kunal Basu and get an insight into his love for literature and future plans.

Multisensory Landscapes
Author: Lara Koegst
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3658404140
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This book provides a broad view on multisensory landscapes from multiple perspectives. It includes theoretical perspectives as well as case studies. Different theoretical perspectives on landscape emerging from research in the last decades also require a differentiated approach to landscape phenomena, going beyond the visual. For example, a social constructivist approach to the social world foregrounds the processes of negotiating social ‚realities‘. This is not limited to visual aspects, and is not based on a clear physical measurability with an accompanying (purely quantitative) recording. A phenomenological approach, for example, places the synesthetic experience of landscape at the core of interest. This approach to the topic of multisensory via ‚landscape‘ is obvious for several reasons. Firstly, landscape is created (from a constructivist perspective) through the synthesis of sensory impressions on the basis of social patterns of interpretation and evaluation. Secondly, communication about ‚landscape‘ is also accessible to people who do not have any ‚expertlike special knowledge‘ in this regard. Thirdly, landscape as a changing concept is not only a concept of landscape but also of landscape itself. Fourthly, landscape as a changeable concept is particularly suitable for conceptually framing the highly fleeting non-visual stimuli.
