Out now: Descant 156 Bosnia and Herzegovina
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: BETWEEN LOSS AND RECOVERY
With the aid of eclectic photography, prose, memoirs, essays and poetry we give you a glimpse of a country in transition, whose sanguine steps into the future are inevitably haunted by the vagaries of its past.
The Bosnian war of the 1990s brought this small Balkan region to the attention of the international community while forcing thousands of Bosnian and Herzegovinian citizens to seek refuge in places that were often distant from their homeland, both geographically and culturally. It is unsurprising that the pieces included in this issue of Descant have been contributed by artists and writers from all around the world: by those who visited Bosnia and Herzegovina as travellers, soldiers or journalists; by the members of the Bosnian diaspora; and by those who still reside in the country. The result is a stimulating and multifaceted dialogue of perspectives that testifies to the complexity of Bosnia’s long and dramatic history.

The Hidden City
Many years ago, Descant discussed an issue centred on Toronto’s buried waterways. We began with Taddle Creek, and then Garrison Creek, a 12,000-year-old stream that was “buried” beneath the city’s downtown streets nearly a century ago, but which can still be glimpsed, whether trickling beneath a sewer grate or rushing through the city’s imagination. Toronto’s creeks are the progenitors of The Hidden City, an issue dedicated to that which escapes first notice in the world’s myriad urban landscapes. From buried rivers to underground habitats to the city’s silent/silenced citizens to the city transformed by darkness, we want your best creative work on the creatures, geographies, and societies that elude our surface experience. What do we cover over? What escapes us? What have we forgotten or missed? The Hidden City wants you to show us the unexamined corners of the world’s living cities.
Submission deadline for this issue: June 15th 2012 |

Masala
In Indian cooking, masala is a delicate and savoury fusion of spices that changes from region to region. So the peoples of India, scattered throughout the world today, display a fusion of cultures and histories. Descant is looking for the stories of the Indian Diaspora, its triumphs and its tragedies. Essays, poems, fictions, memoirs, and art work which show the ways in which the Indian peoples connect with one another worldwide and also differentiate themselves from and yet are still linked to modern India.
