The Redundant City

A Multi-Site Enquiry into Urban Narratives of Conflict and Change

By: Norbert Kling

Dynamic processes and conflicts are at the core of the urban condition. Against the background of continuous change in cities, concepts and assumptions about spatial transformations have to be constantly re-examined and revised. Norbert Kling explores the rich body of narrative knowledge in architecture and urbanism and confronts this knowledge with an empirically grounded situational analysis of a large housing estate. The outcome of this twofold research approach is the sensitising concept of the Redundant City. It describes a specific form of collectively negotiated urban change.

Bought and Bonded by Blood

By: Jean Norbert Augustin

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." That is what God's Word adamantly and peremptorily declares in Hebrews 9:22.If forgiveness of our sins and our eternal salvation depend exclusively upon the shedding of blood, it is of the utmost importance that we ask ourselves a number of questions: "The shedding of whose blood?" "Has that blood been shed?" "If yes, when was that?" "Where did it happen?" "What are the consequences of that blood shedding?" "How can we be sure that the blood that was shed is adequate and potent enough to guarantee us eternal salvation?" "What is implied by salvation, anyway?" And most of all, "How can we appropriate the benefits of that blood?" Dr. Jean Norbert Augustin answers all these questions and more in his book.

The Language of Birds

By: Norbert Scheuer

It is 2003, and Paul Arimond is serving as a paramedic in Afghanistan. The twenty-four-year-old has no illusions of becoming a hero. Rather, he has chosen the army to escape the tragedies of his past and his own feelings of guilt. As a result, he finds himself in the same land, now war-torn, where an ancestor of his, Ambrosius Arimond, a late eighteenth-century traveler and ornithologist, once explored and developed the theory of a universal language of birds. As visceral horrors and everyday banalities of the war threaten to engulf Paul, he, like his great-great-grandfather, finds his very own refuge in Afghanistan’s natural world. In a diary filled with exquisite drawings of birds and ruminations on the life he left behind, Paul describes his experiences living with two comrades who are fighting their own demons and his befriending of an Afghan man, Nassim, as well as his dreams of escaping the restrictive base camp and visiting the shores of a lake visible from the lookout tower. But when he finally reaches the lake one night, he finds himself in the midst of a chain of events that, with his increasingly fragile state of mind, has dramatic—and ultimately heartbreaking—consequences. A meditative novel that shows a new side to the conflict in Afghanistan, The Language of Birds takes a moving look at the all-too-human costs of war and questions what it truly means to fight for freedom.
