Out now: The latest issue of the springerin: »Middle East«

For decades, the Middle East has been a test case for international relations and global, strategic coexistence within a restricted space. It forms a geographical focal point with a strong influence on the relations and clashes between extremely different cultures. This springerin issue on the Middle East focuses on the diverse cultural reflections and facets of a conflict that seems less and less likely to be resolved.

»Middle East« provides an overview ranging from media analyses of Israeli newspapers by Ariella Azoulay to personal accounts about everyday life and activists in Tel Aviv.

In addition to articles by Elia Shohat and Noah Chasin, the »Middle East« issue also features contributions by and about some of people participating in this year's documenta exhibition: Fareed Armaly, Rashid Masharawi, Walid Ra'ad, Andreas Siekmann and James Coleman.
