Isabel Waidner is a writer and critical theorist who has published two works of fiction with Manchester-based independent publisher Dostoyevsky Wannabe, edited an anthology of exploratory queer literature entitled Liberating the Canon, and who - with artist Richard Porter of Pilot Press (https://pilotpress.tumblr.com) - curates the Queers Read This series at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. This week, new Suite (212) co-host Lara Alonso Corona asks Isabel about queer and working-class representation in 'experimental' writing, how useful such labels are, and what queer authors can take from a modernist canon that is largely white, male, cisgender, heterosexual and middle-class.

Ryan Makhani and Shaida Adatia, Sufi meditation Wedensday, June 7, 2017 Ryan Makhani and Shaida Adatia discussed and led participants through a diverse range of Sufi meditative traditions with an emphasis on spiritual and mystical practices from around the world, highlighting the ideas of compassion and prayer. Participants were exposed to Islamic traditions from countries as far ranging as Turkey, Tajikistan, India, Indonesia, Iran and Morocco. The meditation was in three parts: -An introduction and brief on the richness of poetry and the oral tradition in Mecca in the 7th century. -Islamic Music as sung and played in public places or private devotions. Due to Islam being a multi-ethnic religion, the musical expression of its adherents is vastly diverse. The indigenous musical styles of these areas have shaped the devotional music enjoyed by contemporary Muslims. -The esoteric form of prayer known as Dikr, which is a Quranic term used for remembrance of Allah or repeating His name.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the role history and heritage have played in the formation of the British national identity. Historians have often maintained a guarded relationship with the so-called ¨heritage industry¨, believing that it presents a distorted version of national life: a Merrie England that is politically acceptable and economically rewarding. History, in contrast, is held to reveal the truth about the past - objectively and scientifically. Our understanding of history changed since the 19th century and, as historians interpret our time and our society, so will our ideas of heritage and history.With David Cannadine, Director of the University of London's Institute of Historical Research; Miri Rubin, Professor of European History at Queen Mary, University of London; Peter Mandler, Fellow in History, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
