LINGERING WITH INTENT

Issue 46: INTENTION

Issue 46 goes in search of the prime movers, the string pullers and the eminence gris of our times. Whatever Barthes might say, the way and means by which we enforce our will upon the universe still matters, and the author ain't dead yet...

And to underline our sense of purpose, here's Owen Dudley Edwards on 'fascist Scotland', and the far darker purposes that lie behind recent revisionist histories.

We also feature Peter Geoghagan's report on the unlikely return of Marshall Tito... to the former Yugoslavia, contend with Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's chaos magick (and surprising separation at birth from Alasdair Gray) and concrete wordplay. Past collaborators return: Pauline Goldsmith presents her Gaelic/Gaidhlig version of Bright Colours Only (first published in Drouth Issue 4 - all of 10 years ago!) while artist Chris Dooks supplies a free download of his latest album, a hybrid of music, art and spoken word, to everyone who buys this issue. We visit ghost cities in Greek cyprus and the questionable rallying points of German architectural history. Our cover artist, Tara Beall, provides testimony from an ecelctic series of socially engaged, grass roots  art practices that helpfully amends an old slogan to the more timely 'Nothing About Us, Without Us, is For Us.' Guest Editor James Clegg of Edinburgh's Talbot Rice gallery interrogates the intentions of the contemporary artist, and provides a useful overview of the issue as a whole.
