> In which

> the ways in which activists and artists try to break into 
> particles the

> technology of the myths from a consistently political point of view.

> Various contributions include:
> 1. Theoretical texts and critical reflection.
> 2. Presentation of art works from videos and films, photography,

> 3. Displaying political, cultural, forensic manifestos along

> 
> How do such phenomena, including a universal nomadization of all who 
> participate in these new cultural dynamics (artists, curators, 
> architects,...), reflect on design, architecture, urban iconography, 
> and a generic appearance of cities?
> 
> What defines the new glocalities and what are the cohesive factors in 
> shaping the complex glocal/transnational configuration?
> 
> Finally, we are interested in the possibility of creating a dynamic 
> glocal forum and a regional network based on dialogue (glocalogue), 
> intercity network of cultural nomads, leading to a new balance of the 
> local and the global.
> 
> The call for contributions is open to various modes of

> 1. theoretical texts and critical reflections
> 2. short statements by artists, activists, critics
> 3. artworks, e.g. short video and film inserts, photography, internet 
> or web projects
> 4. political and economic manifestos, or simply a list of suggested 
> links to interesting projects on the internet, dedicated to this
