Performing the jumbled city is a complex artefact beyond its own materiality. Linked to a dedicated website hosting additional audio-visual materials, the book acts as a connecting device allowing an exchange between texts, audio-visual materials, and original artworks, situating it in the emerging field of multi-modal ethnography. From this stance, and as an edited collection co-authored with urban indigenous artists and activists, it interrogates the ways in which knowledge is built and shared. The book is constructed as a particular kind of edited collection, shifting between different authorships. The resulting interaction between individual and collective essays draws together scholars' and activists' perspectives in a rich exchange between textual, visual and dramatic sections, for the book is organised around the original script of the site-specific performance Santiago Waria, and the related exhibition MapsUrbe.Making a claim for creation, rather than recuperation, the essays contained in the book put forward alternative imaginations that disrupt the social and material landscape of the (post)colonial city, defying the spatialities usually assigned to colonised bodies and subjects. As such, and actively engaging with current debates through collective writing by indigenous people raising questions in terms of decolonisation, the book stands as both an academic and a political project, interrogating the relationship between activism and academia, and issues of representation, authorship, and knowledge production.

Another launch of the Propg Digital Collection, through the Academic Culture seal, Recipient Women is configured as a work of great sensitivity when performing the intersection between art and feminine feelings. to emphasize that this book is not restricted to the generalities of “gender studies”. The proposal here extrapolates this concept. The author makes a multiple analysis: how does the woman see life and how does she express herself? How does the feminine appear in art? From these fundamental questions, it goes to the ancestral peoples, unveiling the first votive sculptures evoking fertility. Then, she makes a study of contemporary women artists, showing how each one expresses her anxieties and experiences through her works, highlighting Frida Khalo, Louise Bourgeois, Celeida Tostes, among others. Finally, Flavia Leme makes a self-assessment of her own work as an artist, expressing her creative process. Recipient women carry out a courageous study, which does not hesitate to reveal to the reader the afflictions, thoughts and projections of the feminine. In analysing art, this book touches the hearts of many women and discovers experiences that could not be known otherwise.

Numerous studies on Syria and Jordan are carried out by doctoral students from French (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Lyon, Aix-Marseille, Strasbourg), Syrian (Universities of Damascus, Aleppo, Latakia) and foreign (Barcelona, ​​Rome) universities, (London, Girona) within the framework of international collaborations. The dynamism of research on Southern Syria organized by the French Archaeological Mission in Southern Syria (MAFSS) and the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums of Syria (DGAMS) is reflected among other things by the number of doctoral students involved. Fieldwork, archaeological operations, architectural surveys and studies, thematic surveys, epigraphic inventories occupy a central place in these studies, allowing the production of original data which renews the issues and interpretations. These studies are carried out in close collaboration with the DGAMS and the support of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MAEE). The round table organized by the French Archaeological Mission in Southern Syria (MAFSS) in December 2011 was an opportunity to bring together these young researchers working on Southern Syria, to which several others working in other regions of Syria and Jordan. They were able to present their subjects, show the progress of their research and their results, and discuss with all the researchers working in the region. The articles report on this innovative work.

How can Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopias be transposed into a concept that describes medial and, more specifically, virtual spaces? What could such virtualized heterotopias look like? Can we find traces of utopian thinking within them? Zones*Virtopiques answers these questions in two ways: first by constructing a conceptual framework using notions of utopia and heterotopia, as well as reality and virtuality; and second, by applying theoretical findings to Zone*Interdite, a media art project on military areas authored by Mathias Jud and Christoph Wachter. Therefore, a micro-analysis of medial dispositifs has been developed. Wie kann Michel Foucaults Konzept der Heterotopien, der Anderen Orte, auf mediale und im Speziellen auf virtuelle Räume übertragen werden und wie könnten virtuelle oder virtualisierte Heterotopien aussehen? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Heterotopien zur Tradition utopischen Denkens? Und lassen sich insbesondere in virtualisierten Heterotopien Restbestände eines utopischen Impulses aufspüren? Diese Fragen nach dem common ground dieser speziellen (Nicht-)Orte (zones hétérotopiques, utopiques et virtuelles) sucht Zones Virtopiques auf zweifache Weise zu beantworten: Unter Bezugnahme auf kultur- und medienwissenschaftliche sowie auf sozial- und raumwissenschaftliche Theorien nähert sich der erste Teil des Buches entlang der Kategorien Realität/Virtualität und Utopie/Heterotopie dem frag-würdigen Gegenstand auf einer konzeptionellen Ebene. Der zweite Teil wendet die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse im Rahmen einer Mikroanalyse medialer Dispositive auf das Medienkunstprojekt Zone*Interdite von Mathias Jud und Christoph Wachter an.

From the 16th century to the 18th century skin colours have been stereotyped and stylised as essential characteristics of race. Colour is of vital importance for artistic constructions of the body. This publication examines to what extent art has prepared the racist discourse by visual means and thus exercises structural violence. It is shown that the materialisation of imaginary images contributes to the construction of difference in artworks.
