Caliban’s Voice

In Shakespeare’s Tempest, Caliban says to Miranda and Prospero: “… you taught me language, and my profit on’t Is, I know how to curse.” With this statement, he gives voice to an issue that lies at the centre of post-colonial studies. Can Caliban own Prospero’s language? Can he use it to do more than curse? Caliban’s Voice examines the ways in which post-colonial literatures have transformed English to redefine what we understand to be ‘English literature’. It investigates the importance of language learning in the imperial mission, the function of language in ideas of race and place, the link between language and identity, the move from orature to literature and the significance of translation. By demonstrating the dialogue that occurs between writers and readers in literature, Bill Ashcroft argues that cultural identity is not locked up in language, but that language, even a dominant colonial language, can be transformed to convey the realities of many different cultures. Using the figure of Caliban, Ashcroft weaves a consistent and resonant thread through his discussion of the post-colonial experience of life in the English language, and the power of its transformation into new and creative forms. Bill Ashcroft is a founding exponent of post-colonial theory, co-author of The Empire Writes Back, the first text to examine systematically the field of post-colonial studies. He is author and co-autho

Chaos, The Minerva Conduct And Others

Local food movements, organic fruits and vegetables at supermarkets as well as increased reports of GMO produce have collectively succeeded in stirring up awareness about the source and quality of our produce. The ingredients that go into our daily meals can’t be substandard, and fuelled by the added environmental benefits, we’ve noticed a trend of many urban dwellers maintaining both small and large kitchen gardens. An open garden space isn’t a luxury for most of us though, but you don’t need to be denied the benefits. Here’s our handy guide on how grow a vertical garden of your own. WHAT IS IT If you’re tied down for space, vertical gardening is the way ahead for you. The concept stems from using a vertical structure, such as a wall, to grow various plants. While a full-fledged green wall requires detailed planning and sophisticated irrigation structures, there are several hacks that are easy, inexpensive, and give great results. Like any living organism, a garden too requires tremendous care and time, so make sure you’re well prepared to put in a few hours. Identify a wall you can use as a support for this DIY project – it could be in your balcony, on the terrace, or even a window-sill. The only pre-condition is that this wall needs to receive ample sunlight. HOW TO GET STARTED Bearing the wall as a support, you need to put together a structure that will hold the soil and plants in place. Depending on the size of your wall and the amount you are willing to spend, you can create various structures. No matter what structure you use, make sure it has sufficient holes to drain out excess water. See the pictures below for step-by-step reference.

Alternatively, you could also inlay the frame with horizontal wooden planks and attach large pockets made out of recycled plastic

Architecte manuelle gautrand biography

Architecture should provoke unexpected emotion says Manuelle Gautrand, as we sit chatting in her light-filled office in Paris’ La Bastille. “It is very important to surprise people when you welcome them into a building.”

Gautrand – who won the European Prize for Architecture in 2017 – has made a name for herself by celebrating ordinary urban life with bold, striking buildings that often feature an element of the unexpected.

At the Gaite Lyrique theatre in Paris, for example, a grand, conservative 19th century facade contains an något som är extremt eller ytterst contemporary museum of digital culture, with factory-like walls, pulsing lights and splashes of vibrant colour. Gautrand’s ability to surprise can also be seen in her green pixellated Hipark Hotel, the blocky, rust coloured Forum sports and events complex in Saint Louis, France and in her radical extension to Lille’s Museum of Modern Art, where perforerad concrete ‘fingers’ seem to reach around the eastern edge of Roland Simounet’s
