Vol. 1, No. 4, Summer 2003 :: CONFLICT
Original works of poetry and theory, related to tensions between ideas, people, and competing strategies for sorting out such conflict, on the media, on a doctrinaire approach to being in the world, on 'heaven and earth' ('himmel och jord'), on the possibility of crafting something 'new', as if without roots, and the problem of knowing the natural environment, in order to live as part of it...

Poemas viejos
Carlos Trujillo

Escribir poemas viejos con palabras usadas
intentarlos de nuevo como se hace la planta de inéditos ropajes
las flores de color, el aire de estrellas

Viejos poemas que canten nuevas vidas
ilusiones y mares que entrecrucen sus aguas con el sol... [Siga leyendo...]

Silenciadas notas
Teresa Chamizo Vega

La esencia sin voz, los sentimientos sordos

El pulso de un huracán, la garganta de un volcán. [Siga leyendo...]

Remota y nubarrón
Joseph Robertson

Presiento el papel que jugará la historia en el desarrollo de lo venidero.
Presiento la música agridulce, terrible, improbable, que soltará el recuerdo tras derrota y renacimiento.
Este respiro del momento, súbito, hondo y entero, parece consumir... [Siga leyendo...]

MEDIA & ECOLOGY ESSAYS

Sound-bite Themepark TV-dinner:
Media Mischief & Language

A vibrant media culture, also known as a Free Press, is vital to the full and healthy functioning of a democracy. But in the zeal to push boundaries, much is being done to undermine both the value of the media and the value of language as the fundamental medium of free expression.

The same media slant that makes corporate slogans into household proverbs also has the effect of deadening the expressive capacity of both individuals and the press itself. [Keep reading]

Excerpts from Sustainable Development Update
Albaeco, of Sweden

In addition, there are other kinds of pollution due to oil spills and hazardous waste leaking from damaged industries, destruction of sewage treatment plants, and much more.
