Nautilus Flugschrift
by Jacinta Nandi
How to Leave Your Man: Why it’s so hard for mothers to leave their partnersShe’s finally done it! The „World’s Worst Housewife" has left her partner and moved with her two childreninto her own apartment, or as she puts it: been gentrified away to the outskirts of Berlin. Jacinta Nandi hadalways expected that as a single mom, a whole other host of problems would be awaiting her. The mainproblems are financial: the truth is, it’s really hard for ordinary mothers - with ordinary incomes - to leavetheir partners and set up their own lives.Why does society make it so hard for women to leave men? Could it be that women in general, and mothersin particular, are not expected to be free? And if they do decide to fight for their freedom, they have to paya high price for it.Jacinta Nandi writes about slut-shaming and pity, the pressure to constantly justify yourself and society’spesky double standards. She shows us that it’s not only the violent relationships that are shitty, that beingtold what a great dad your ex is isn’t always helpful and why Isaac Newton was certainly not a single parent.She asks why married women show a lack of solidarity by baking ridiculously good cakes, and what it meansto be a single mom by choice. Why do mothers always have to be perfect while fathers are somehow alwaysgood enough? What has to change in order for mothers to no longer feel forced to stay in relationshipsthat are not serving them? Leave your husband – things can only get better!

Phantombilder. Die Polizei und der verdächtige Fremde (The Police And The Suspicious Stranger)
Nautilus Flugschrift
by Georgiana Banita
“Phantombilder“ (German for “facial composites” or “identikit sketches”, meaning literally “phantomimages“) is an analysis of police violence and institutional racism from a Cultural Studies viewpoint –and a plea for a constructive debateAfter the assassinations of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in the USA, the need for a durable change inthe mentality of the police hat become obvious – worldwide. For Europe, too, the question arises: How toexplain the extent of police violence and police discrimination against people of color? Where to start theurgently needed changes for a new police culture?In her essay, Georgiana Banita shows: The powerful image of the “stranger” has always been a target andeven the ideological foundation of Western police apparatus. The narrative of the suspicious, potentiallydangerous “stranger” was at he origin and still is the backdrop of a general police suspicion against peoplewith a migration background, black people and people of color.In the USA, for example, the police introduced lethal firearms only after the abolition of slavery in order todiscipline freed slaves, and Europe also militarized its police force as a result of migration from rural and colonialareas to the industrial centers. Banita‘s analysis on the use of firearms, racial profiling, computer searchesand AI-supported crime prognoses, on deportation, border protection and infection protectionshows: The logic and practices of police control architectures cannot be imagined without the idea of a necessarydefense from the (supposed) foreigner.“Phantombilder” unfolds a cultural history of police suspicion and creates the basis for a constructive debatethat we urgently need.
