This short speculative text explores the relationship between the corporeality of a screenwriter and the materiality of a physical space, including its imaginary losses and effects on women’s creative collaborations. In this text, I draw from the information that Begum Para and Protima Dasgupta were spending a lot of time together in Bombay, living under the same roof, when their creative partnership blossomed and gave the industry a production house, a director-producer, a screen star and more than a few films. Although this text takes the form of creative writing, it is based on historical and archival research.

By studying the logic that unites play, the rules of games and the body of players, this article intends to highlight a spatial mimesis through play and games. It consists of carrying out a Ricœurian anthropology of play and game, taking Ricœur's analysis of the relationship between time and narrative as a model. The article then shows that play prefigures the physical space as a lived space, that game configures a space of rules and that the player's body is refigured by the spatiality of the rules of the game. This application of the ternary model of Ricœurian mimesis thus allows a unified understanding of play and games by space, and of space by play and games.

Novelist Pip Adam reflects on the processes involved in three of her recent projects: a novel, The New Animals (2017); a community newspaper and art project; and her educational work in creative writing classes in prisons. Drawing on Raymond Williams and Kenneth Goldsmith, Adam considers the relationship between the work of art and the work involved in producing art, and consider some of the ways in which the language of creativity and inspiration may undermine democratic energies.

This study uses the material transmission history of Dante’s innovative first book, the Vita nuova (New Life), to intervene in recent debates about literary history, reconceiving the relationship between the work and its reception, and investigating how different material manifestations and transformations in manuscripts, printed books, translations, and adaptations participate in the work. Just as Dante frames his collection of thirty-one poems surrounded by prose narrative and commentary as an attempt to understand his own experiences through the experimental form of the book, so later scribes, editors, and translators use different material forms to embody their own interpretations of it. Traveling from Boccaccio’s Florence to contemporary Hollywood with stops in Emerson’s Cambridge, Rossetti’s London, Nerval’s Paris, Mandelstam’s Russia, De Campos’s Brazil, and Pamuk’s Istanbul, this study builds on extensive archival research to show how Dante’s strange poetic forms continue to challenge readers. In contrast to a conventional reception history’s chronological march, each chapter analyzes how one of these distinctive features has been treated over time, offering new perspectives on topics such as Dante’s love of Beatrice, his relationship with Guido Cavalcanti, and his attraction to another woman, while highlighting Dante’s concern with the future, as he experiments with new ways to keep Beatrice alive for later readers. Deploying numerous illustrations to show the entanglement of the work’s poetic form and its material survival, Dante’s New Life of the Book offers a fresh reading of Dante’s innovations, demonstrating the value of this philological analysis of the work’s survival in the world.

This chapter outlines the main research findings in relation to lone actor terrorism from the past decade of work. The results are clustered across seven core themes. The authors explore (1) the heterogeneity of lone actors in terms of their sociodemographic characteristics; (2) the degree to which people within the lone actor’s social or physical space were aware of a plot developing; (3) the prevalence and forms of mental disorders within lone actor samples and how they differ from what you would expect in the general population; (4) the relationship between offline and online forms of radicalization; (5) their similarity with other forms of violent lone offenders who conduct violence in public spaces; (6) what attack planning looks like; and (7) the key role protective factors might play.

ABSTRACTArchaeology as a field is experiencing a curation crisis—our professional paper trail is extensive, and we are not properly trained to adequately catalogue and curate these records. For decades, a handful of archaeologists have pushed for our discipline to confront this crisis—we need better methods for creating records and maintaining archives, as well as stronger training in how to effectively conduct archival research. This issue of Advances in Archaeological Practice echoes these earlier calls to action, adding new voices and perspectives. In addition to the theme of a curation crisis, our authors discuss access to archival records and the relationship between archives and power. The authors and guest editors of this issue hope the contributions presented here will inspire more sustained engagement with archival training, theory, and praxis.

Resumo: O texto discute a relação entre realidade e ficção, bem como o trânsito entre uma e outra, a partir do trauma como elemento desestabilizador no discurso literário. Essa reflexão toma como base a instância autoral em processo de criação – escritura e leitura – nas oficinas de escrita criativa, analisando como a irrupção dos estilhaços de trauma convocam o corpo a ser com o corpus em performance coreográfica, o que hiperexcita os corpos tornando-os espaços de agenciamento. Nos momentos de escuta e partilha, favorecidos pela mediação atenta ao arquivo insubmisso do real, pode se observar o processo autopoiético sobre o qual se estruturam as múltiplas aprendizagens – especialmente de si – deflagrando as potencialidades provocativas, educativas e terapêuticas das oficinas, que as tornam suportes indispensáveis à educação não-formal.Palavras-Chave: ficção, trauma, afeto, autopoiesis, oficinas de escrita criativa Abstract: The paper discusses the relationship between reality and fiction, as well as the intersections between one and another, from trauma as a destabilizing element in literary discourse.

Architecture is the use of proportions in the mass of space, music is the use of proportions in the length of time. Music like architecture is a multi-layered art that under the influence of the material characteristic, both artists need to be aware about each layer criteria to have a final artistic prominent product, though the whole product always seems to be perceivable.
