Responsibilities

  • Fact checking:  Fact-checker is an editor who combs through manuscripts line by line to identify facts in need of verification. The professional then researches the fact in order to verify it. 

  • Line editing:  The line editor will go through a manuscript line-by-line with a fine-toothed comb. The goal is to make the writing as polished as possible, such as by eliminating redundancies, suggesting word choice improvements, adjusting sentence structures and so on. That is why this type of editing is often referred to as “stylistic editing.”

  • Copy editor: The copy editor is to compare the copy and line editing, copy editing is technical, whereas line editing is stylistic. Copy editors focus on correcting inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization errors, shifts in tense and similar issues. A copy editor following the Associated Press (AP) style will ensure that numbers one through nine are written as words, and numbers 10 and above are written as numerals. A copy editor makes the writing more readable by eliminating distracting inconsistencies and mistakes. Remember that copy editors may also be called upon to serve as fact checkers.

  • Proofreader: After a manuscript has gone through developmental, line and copy editing, as well as fact checking, it is sent to the typesetter or designer to create the hard copy layout for the book. Then a galley proof is created. A galley proof is like a test copy of the book. This test copy is sent to a proofreader. It is the proofreader’s job to comb over every detail in search of mistakes that the copy editor may have missed or that the typesetter or designer may have inadvertently introduced to the text. The proofreader serves as the final checkpoint before the finalized version is completed and printed.

Iσμαήλ Project

Τέσσερις εικαστικοί: Ειρήνη Βλαβιανού, Λυδία Δεληκούρα, Γιώργος Μαραζιώτης, και ο Αλέξανδρος Ροκαδάκης συμμετέχουν στη πολιτιστική δράση «Ισμαήλ Project» με εφήμερα in-situ έργα, δηλαδή εικαστικά έργα τα οποία δημιουργούνται και προορίζονται για έναν συγκεκριμένο τόπο και διερευνούν τη σχέση τους με την τοπογραφία και ιστορικότητα της περιοχής, είτε σε εσωτερικούς είτε εξωτερικούς χώρους, σε αστικό, έρημο, θαλάσσιο ή άλλο τοπίο. Ο τόπος κατευθύνει το έργο το οποίο ενσωματώνεται σε αυτόν. Στο Ισμαήλ Project οι εικαστικοί καλούνται να δημιουργήσουν έργα τα οποία θα  αλληλοεπιδρούν με την ιστορικότητα του εγκαταλελειμμένου οικισμού, και την πολιτιστική κληρονομιά της ευρύτερης περιοχής.

 

Οι καλλιτέχνες εργάζονται με διάφορα μέσα, ωστόσο η επιλογή τους έγινε με κριτήριο την επιθυμία τους να δημιουργούν in-situ εφήμερα έργα στο Ισμαήλ καθώς τα έργα τους  θα δημιουργηθούν οργανικά σε πραγματικό χρόνο. Μέρος της εργασίας τους επίσης αφορά την ενεργοποίηση των κατοίκων της περιοχής και των τοπικών φορέων, την αξιοποίηση των εκθεσιακών χώρων όσο και του ίδιου του εγκαταλελειμμένου οικισμού. Οι χειρονομίες των in-situ εγκαταστάσεων έχουν εφήμερο χαρακτήρα καθώς θα απεγκατασταθούν από το χωριό Ισμαήλ μετά την λήξη της δράσης στις 12 Ιουνίου.

TELL ME

​Καλλιτεχνική έρευνα για τον μεταβιομηχανικό χαρακτήρα της Πάτρας από το 1960 έως σήμερα.

 

Η διατομεακή μελέτη TELL ME, το νέο έργο του καλλιτέχνη Γιώργου Μαραζιώτη, προσπαθεί να ανιχνεύσει ιστορικά και να μεταμορφώσει εικαστικά την δυναμική των μεταβιομηχανικών αρχιτεκτονημάτων και των συλλογικών κοινωνικών λειτουργιών που διαμορφώνουν το τώρα της Πάτρας. Εμπνεόμενος από την σύγχρονη δράση της εργατικής τάξης της πόλης, καταγράφει τον λόγο αυτής, επεξεργάζεται εικαστικά την ατομική μνήμη και αποσκοπεί στην δημιουργία ενός γλυπτικού περιβάλλοντος που θα προάγει τον δημόσιο διάλογο, θα αναπτύσσει τις αξίες του design και της αρχιτεκτονικής και τέλος, θα θεάται σαν ένα εν εξελίξει πορτρέτο της πόλης.

Fadma Kaddouri is a Franco-Marocaine artist. She was born in the Rif mountains in Morocco and now lives and works in France. The Rif is present in her poetic and visual practice. Like a path, a moving body that explores the notion of memory and reveals the social-historical changes traversed by the resilient and cathartic poetic aesthetics of "Izri", a sung oral poetry of the Rif tribes that her mother practiced. His work explores and underlines the metamorphosis of the forms of poetic orality and their common movements with plastic forms, from the "Tarifite"* language to Arabic and French, thus delivering an imagined contemporary grammar. Recognizing one's history in order to better know and transmit it, such is the meaning of his artistic narratives.

*"Tarifite" means oral language from the Rif in northern Morocco
