This volume addresses the imperative need for recognizing, exploring, and developing the role of multilingual communication in crisis settings. It is recognized that 'communication is aid' and that access to communication is an undeniable human right in crises. Even where effective and accurate information is available to be distributed, circulated, and broadcast in different ways through an ever-growing array of technologies, too often the language barrier remains in place. From the Philippines to Lebanon via Spain, Italy, Columbia, and the UK, crisis situations occur worldwide, with different cultural reactions and needs everywhere. The contributors of this volume represent a geographical mixture of regions, language combinations, and disciplines, because crisis situations need to be studied in their locale with different methods. Drawing on disaster studies research, this book aims to stimulate a broad, multidisciplinary debate on how complex communication is in cascading crises and on the role translation can play to facilitate communication. Translation in Cascading Crises is a key resource for students and researchers of Translation and Interpreting Studies, Humanitarian Studies, and Disaster Studies.

Surveying industrial sites and military settlements, ghost buildings and woods haunted by shadows, bodies entangled in wires or surfacing barks and stripped walls, this book provides evidence of how things come to be abandoned. Alongside the images, the reader will find the fine narrative thread of texts in prose or poems, many of which have already appeared in international magazines and journals.

"Trees work in the woods like words do in the poetical text. Exploring a book like this goes beyond the pure reader's control and turns into a practice whose results are unpredictable." - Tim Wallington. The original of this book belongs to the Academy of Fine Arts Palermo artists' book collection.

To most human beings on Earth, the difference between Newton's theory and Einstein's is so infinitesimal that can only be expressed in scientific terms. In this long poem, Einstein's Relativity and other topics of modern Physics are addressed from an entirely new poetical perspective, accompanied by visual poetry and asemic tables.

The work is remarkable precisely because it works in a graceful, familiar space to do often stark and unfamiliar things. Like jazz that absorbs sound. This feels to me a faithful act towards listening and the intention towards possibility and inspiration. The roll, the smudge, the dead signature. The cut in the scrawl. The squig. The line, cards and bled ink. Sounds on paper. - SJ Fowler

""Requiem auf einer stele"" has been written over a few years stay by the woods. It's the water-sensitive song of a river stone, heard at intervals in the dark. Three main languages get combined into one wordscape, to give relief to the drowned voice of both the living and the dead, and meet the breath trapped in the world's finest gaps. As the author states: ""How unspeakable Physics is! How shall we carry the stone?"" (Anne Harket). If poems are supposed to be well-trimmed pieces of writing, ""Requiem auf einer Stele"" is a successful attempt to give a different outline to poetry itself. The use of a variety of well balanced languages simultaneously reminds the reader of Heaclitus: if we can't step in the same river twice, we can't speak the same word in two different languages (Michael Breton). As in a primal, untamed myth, the work of an unkown river has shaped this long poem, which is now consigned to the reader as the final revelation to a dying man (Dieter M ller).

[...] Aix , tot i la universalitat del tema, la veu po tica de "Dunkelwort" s molt singular, sobretot, per la relaci que s'estableix entre la paraula i el llenguatge f sic i matem tic, per tamb per la visi de la vida i de la mort, i del mateix m n. D'altra banda, personalment, sempre he concebut la poesia com a emoci cal que l'entreteixit de paraules em remogui profundament per dins, connecti amb quelcom interior que potser s indefinible o indescriptible. "Dunkelwort" extreu aquesta emocionalitat de l'oralitat i de la musicalitat inherent a les paraules que s'aguditza per la impot ncia, el dolor i la melancolia que hi ha present en els poemes. Dit d'una altra manera, el poeta s capa d'extreure bellesa del dolor o de fer bell el dolor. Es tracta d'una poesia molt sensorial: uns poemes que es veuen, s'escolten, es respiren i es palpen enmig d'un gran silenci. - Marta Vilardaga

"Scrivo perch la Poesia dona tutto il sentimento di cui si pu essere capaci e che, avendone coscienza, pu fare da solo qualsiasi cosa. Occorre capire che la propria vita non mai troppo e, se valutata, sar poi lunga e, se meritata, sar in eterno anche dopo morte." Nika Turbina
