| Title: English in Berlin |
| By (author): Sinthujan Varatharajah |
| ISBN10-13: 3948200149 : 9783948200145 |
| In Kreuzberg cafe?s or Neuko?lln vintage shops, cosmopolitan Berlin speaks English as a matter of course. But how did the English language take hold in these places? Who speaks English in Berlin and who is excluded in doing so? Isnâ t it just a short while ago that groups who conversed in a language other than German were stigmatised as parallel societies by the German media? Political geographer Sinthujan Varatharajah and artist Moshtari Hilal explore these questions in an Instagram live conversation, available in this volume in an extended version in German and English translation. They uncover the underlying double standards and capital interests of the German mainstream society, trace the links with gentrification and asylum policy, and search for forms of equitable cultural work. Moshtari Hilal is an artist living in Hamburg. Sinthujan Varatharajah is a researcher and essayist living in Berlin. In a live Instagram conversation in 2021, they triggered an intense debate about Nazi traditions after 1945. |

| Title: Rejected. Designs for the European Flag |
| By (author): Jonas Lenthe |
| ISBN10-13: 3948200033 : 9783948200039 |
| The flag bearing twelve yellow stars on a blue background has become Europeâ s most recognisable symbol. Since its introduction by the Council of Europe in 1955, it has stood for the unification of Europeâ s nation states. It was precisely this yellow circle of stars that prevailed over more than 150 flag ideas sent to the Council of Europe by a host of diverse private individuals. These colourful designs are being now published in Rejected for the first time. They document the continentâ s zeitgeist at a decisive period in the development of European unity. Alongside the flag proposals, the trilingual book (English, German, French) features a written contribution by the German-French poet and writer Marie Rotkopf, who tackles the EUâ s neoliberal political cynicism and Germanyâ s expansion of power with biting irony. Design: We Became Aware Text: Marie Rotkopf |

| Title: The Decolonization of America |
| By (author): Steffen Zillig |
| ISBN10-13: 3948200076 : 9783948200077 |
| In the not too distant future, having completed the genetic decoding of its population, the government of the United States of America decides to send those from elsewhere back out into the world. This is a remarkable attempt to re-establish society as it was before the devastating conquest of the American continent by European immigrants. Soon, convoys of â Euro-Americansâ are migrating back to Europe, even though it has been decades since they had any contact with the cranky landmass beyond the Atlantic. Because Europe has long since cut itself off, wanting nothing more to do with the rest of the world. And then, all of a sudden, American refugee boats appear off the French coast. In The Decolonization of America, Steffen Zillig creates a fictional future by collaging fragments of popular culture, combining excerpts from old and new adventure comics with washed-out photographs from the Internet. The result is a social fantasy whose bizarre fault lines and conflicts bear an uncanny resemblance to those of the present day. Steffen Zillig makes art. He is part of Briefing Room, an artist-run space in Brussels, and he edits the underground magazine Intercity. He works in Hamburg and is a member of a union. |

| Title: 5 CUTS |
| By (author): Stephanie Oursler |
| ISBN10-13: 394820005X : 9783948200053 |
| Stephanie Ourslerâ s 5 Cuts, an artist book originally self-published in 1975 in Rome, comprises a series of black and white images accompanied by a handwritten text. The artist had found the displayed images â stills from unidentified silent films â and combined them with her autobiographical writing, creating both an intimate recollection and a literary construction of her own life. Stephanie Ourslerâ s artistic vocabulary tells of her active participation in womenâ s groups and networks in Rome, in which political issues were addressed via a distinctive articulation between memory, history and fiction. 5 Cuts weaves together the personal and the political to speak about something that lays beyond language and image. Stephanie Oursler (*1938, Baltimore, USA, â 2018, Milan, Italy) arrived in Rome in the early 1970s from New York, where she had been an activist in the civil rights and in the womenâ s liberation movements. In 1976, together with Carla Arcadi, Suzanne Santoro and others, she co-founded the Cooperativa del Beato Angelico, an all-women exhibition space in Rome. 5 Cuts is here reprinted in its original form and expanded by a text by the art historian Giovanna Zapperi. 5 Cuts is the first title from Re:Re. This series of reprints aims to make available historical material that we consider relevant today in both political and artistic terms. Re:Re is co-edited by Verena Buttmann, Johanna Klingler, Jonas von Lenthe and Max Stocklosa. |
