UNDO UNDO Ltd, Nicosia, ISSN: 1450-4928 The urge to formulate a cultural journal that records and questions issues within and without the cultural domain was born out of the dominant local cultural passivity. Stepping out of this circuit became a possibility, and this gesture was the commencement of UNDO. A step, that directed the project towards engaging and conducting close epistemological examinations of cultural narratives via inventing and employing coherent methods of analysis. UNDO aims to combine text and artists projects to form a space of exploration that introduces the other and the elsewhere while it simultaneously investigates and excavates the local terrain. By responding to existing phenomena, it intents to perceive and articulate them under a new light, and expose previously unseen dimensions of its subjects of investigation by systematically undoing them. It aims to infect the mute side of cultural affairs and provide them with the voice of the absurd. UNDO surpasses trends and forced dialogues and its reason of existence is passion for a forward action; to undo obsessions and insecurities and to reveal new aspirations.
While Cyprus is only just being introduced to the ‘idea’ of recycling, with the average Cypriot still using at least 365 plastic bags a year, in other parts of Europe people are questioning the seemingly ineffectual recycling of domestic waste which accounts for just a tiny percentage of emissions. ‘Recycling’ for many has become a PC fashion statement, offering a painless way to show they are ‘doing their bit’ without having to make any significant lifestyle changes, like quitting driving, flying less, and most effective - boycotting the industries who produce the waste in the first place. What we are presented with is not an environmental problem but more urgently a social and psychological one, a distorted sense of priorities and denial of the bigger picture through trivial distraction. As we face an increasingly uncertain future, in which money and conflicts become meaningless, artists more than ever have a responsibility to communicate health issues, using environmentally friendly methods and materıals in the process. Now is an opportunity for us all, not only ‘artists’, to access our inherent creativity and start improvising in our daily lives. Our health and the state of the environment are inextricably linked so by looking out for our health - not relying on machines or harmful chemicals and not always opting for the quicker, easier solution, but taking the time to do things for ourselves - we instantly win back a sense of self worth, the respect we have lost for our environment and our children, and ultimately regain the will to effect change...

Issue 5 - Summer 2007 brings interesting articles about poetry, literature, exhibitions, theatre, film and music. Published by Roxana P. Nikolaou. CYŁ4.00 per issue Το ΨΙΧΑΔΙ είναι ένα έγχρωμο πολυθεματικό περιοδικό πολιτισμού. Τα θέματα του αγκαλιάζουν τέχνες όπως ο Κινηματογράφος, το Θέατρο, η Λογοτεχνία, τα Εικαστικά, ο Χορός, η Μουσική. Μέσα από άρθρα καταξιωμένων και νέων δημιουργών, συνεντεύξεις, αφιερώματα και ανταποκρίσεις, το ΨΙΧΑΔΙ είναι το μόνο περιοδικό τέτοιας εμβέλειας και αισθητικής στην Κύπρο. «Η ύπαρξη ενός περιοδικού που διαφοροποιείται από τη μάζα έχοντας ως υλικό του τον πνευματικό πολιτισμό, αποτελεί (αντί)δραση κι ένα βήμα αντίστασης στη βιομηχανοποίηση της σκέψης και τρόπου ζωής κατά συνέπεια. Μπορεί να συμβάλει στην αποκατάσταση πραγμάτων που μας απογοητεύουνε και μας θίγουν. Να αποτελέσει βήμα γι' ανθρώπους που ποιούν «μυστικά» το έργο τους, να δώσει τον παλμό αυτής της «υπόγειας» δημιουργίας, σχίζοντας την κρούστα της επιφάνειας.»

Issue examining conflict within Islamic civilization, religion, secularism and democracy in the Moslem world, human rights, impact of economic growth, media development and many other important topic covering various areas of relationship of Islam and democracy.
This issue examines the momentous events of the year 2002-3 in Europe, namely the agreement for its most ambitious enlargement yet, the presentation of a draft constitution, and the divisions within Europe and between Europe and the US during the build-up to the Iraq war. July 1999 saw the launch of the Centre's journal, Global
Dialogue, a quarterly publication dedicated to promoting the exchange of ideas
on a broad range of international issues, social, political, economic and
cultural. As the name suggests, Global Dialogue aims to encourage debate. The
journal reflects the belief that engagement and discussion are better means of
resolving conflict than the threat or use of force.

Orient Express brings together some of the most important and exciting writing today. From the Baltic States to the Balkans, Central Europe to Turkey: in fiction, poetry, prose and photo-essays. A response to the changing face of Europe, this book-length publication is the only periodical in English specializing in the literatures of the entire E.U. Enlargement region.
The most famous European rail-route, the Orient Express, tracks a spinal cord across the continent: Paris - Vienna - Budapest - Bucharest - Istanbul. Istanbul - Bucharest - Budapest - Vienna - Paris, with connections to every European capital en route. And Orient Express names a kind of history too. In the Anglophone world it's a metonym for an early-twentieth century glamour of Central European culture, conspicuous consumption, illicit elegance. (Fiona Sampson, Editor)

This issue of this bi-annual journal on social, economic and political issues reflects recent but pre-referendum developments in Cyprus. However, much of the scholarly debate featured in these articles is still valid in the post-referendum and post-EU entry environment. It includes contributions from Panteion University Professor Alexis Heraclides on ‘The 55-Year Cyprus Debacle: A Bird’s Eye View’, Katerina Yennari on the role of the EU in building bridges inside Cyprus, and Peter Loizos on what it means to think historically. The Cyprus Review is an international bi-annual refereed journal which publishes articles on a range of areas in the social sciences including primarily Anthropology, Business Administration, Economics, History, International Relations, Politics, Psychology, Public Administration and Sociology, and secondarily, Geography, Demography, Law and Social Welfare, pertinent to Cyprus. As such it aims to provide a forum for discussion on salient issues relating to the latter. The journal was first published in 1989 and has since received the support of many scholars internationally. The Cyprus Review is published by Intercollege – Research & Development Centre, Nicosia, Cyprus. ISSN: 1015-2881. Paperback. Price: CYŁ5.25. Back copies available upon request.
