Mute Vol 1, No. 29 – The Precarious Issue
The conundrum of 'negotiating the other as other' recurs throughout this issue of Mute in various ways. The way out of this dilemma is seen not through the subsumption of the one in the other, but a negotiation of the one as a 'horizontal transcendence' - the unbridgable gap that exists between such distinct identities. By exploring questions of precariousness - from the immigrant to the urban poor - as well as the relationship between culture-led urban regeneration and public art, it attempts to fundamentally destablise and deterritorialise them from fixed national and cultural contexts.
