The Bastard - Global Edition. Arkzin (1999). The publishers (Arkzin) started as a platform for the anti ratna kampagna (anti-war movement, founded in Croatia in 1991-92) to promote independent political discussions. Since then it has grown to include cultural and intellectual contributions on media and "cyber theory". Produced in Zagreb, this first international edition of The Bastard compiles various discussions, texts and documents that have circulated on the internet and in magazines. It attempts to make sense of a violent disintegration of the Balkans, positioning its analysis within the "Europe after", the "EU-NATO regime". Contributions include commentaries and discussions by John Pilger, Maria Todorova, Noam Chomsky, George Soros and Geert Lovink amongst others. Publishers: Arkzin d.o.o., Ilica 176, HR-10000, Zagreb, Croatia. Tel: +3851 3777866 Fax: +3851 3777867, arkzin@zamir.net, link
