minibombo
Minibombo makes picture books characterized by clear images and solid colours, telling stories with a short text or no text at all. The books aim to create a participated reading process between adults and children and require a bit of creativity and cooperation on their part. Minibombo loves to explore different types of communication. This is why some of its paper stories have become the starting point for creating digital applications. The apps refer to the original stories in the books and develop them further by exploiting a different code. All the minibombo apps are available worldwide on the App Store and Google Play. Minibombo started in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 2013. Since its beginnings, it has been highly appreciated both by readers and operators in the sector and has been awarded several prizes which have helped make its books known among a wide public.

Business, Economics & LawJuly 2024Undermining resistance
The governance of participation by multinational mining corporations
by Lian Sinclair
Why do multinational mining corporations use participation to undermine resistance? Do the struggles of local communities, activists and NGOs matter on a global scale? Why are there so many different global standards in mining? This book develops a new critical political economy approach to studying extractive accumulation, drawing on three detailed Indonesian cases to explain how participatory mechanisms continuously reshape and are reshaped by community-corporate conflict. Findings highlight feedback between local social relations, conflict, transnational activism, crises of legitimacy and global governance. The author argues that corporate social responsibility, community development, 'gender-mainstreaming' and environmental monitoring are neither simple outcomes of corporate ethics nor mere greenwashing strategies. Rather, participation is a mechanism to undermine resistance and create social relations amenable to extractive accumulation.

June 2008Johnny Cash
by Martin Schäfer
»Because you're mine, I walk the line.« Allzu geradlinig hat Johnny Cash nie gelebt. Aber wie kein anderer wurde er zur Stimme Amerikas mit seinen Songs, in denen Gott, Liebe und Mord so nahe beieinander sind. In die Country Hall of Fame wurde er ebenso aufgenommen wie in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Und auf seinen letzten CDs mischt er die Genres mit der Souveränität eines Meisters, dem Gattungsgrenzen längst nichts mehr bedeuten.

The ArtsJuly 2024Lifework
On the autobiographical impulse in contemporary art, writing, and theory
by Moran Sheleg
Following the critical scepticism surrounding the notion of the 'self' as a singular entity during the 1960s, many artists and writers sought to test the apparent problem posed by autobiography as both a traditional genre and as a way of working. Considering the consequent emergence of autotheory, Lifework traces this shift in artistic and literary production during the late twentieth century and beyond, examining a set of diverse practices that mine the line between what it is to make art and what it is to live life. The book's chapters connect a variety of artistic strategies that cut across medium, geography and time, uncovering how the historical marginalisation of first-person experience has taken on larger social, cultural and political implications in the contemporary moment and how the work of living might still relate to the work of art.

The ArtsAugust 2014David Lean
by Melanie Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard
'A rule of mine is this', said William Goldman in 1983, 'there are always three hot directors and one of them is always David Lean.' One of the best known and most admired of British film makers, David Lean had a directorial career that spanned five decades and encompassed everything from the intimate black-and-white romance of Brief Encounter (1945) to the spectacular Technicolor epic of Lawrence of Arabia (1962). This book offers comprehensive coverage of every feature film directed by Lean, yielding new insights on the established classics of his career as well as its lesser-known treasures. Its analysis prioritises questions of gender and emphasises the often-overlooked but highly significant recurrence of female-centred narratives throughout Lean's career. Drawing extensively on archival historical materials while also presenting nuanced close readings of individual films, David Lean offers a fascinating and original account of the work of a remarkable British film maker. ;

Short stories2022After the 24th
by Vladyslav Ivchenko
“Excuse me, but the war has begun.” These words of the writer Vladyslav Ivchenko marked the beginning of February 24th. It was the day when life changed forever. Standing in line at the draft board, he realized that he had his own war story now. “My granny had one, my parents had none, and I was always sure that I’d never have mine own.” After the 24th is a collection of short stories and poetry about war, a record of what Ukrainians have experienced and are experiencing now. The book is about those who are ready to die for freedom and those who are ready to survive at any cost; it is about lovers and beloved; it is about losses that make one howl in pain, and laughter that helps preserve sanity. It is about betrayal and fear; it is about those at the frontlines and those away from them. Something is true to life and something is fictional. Be careful as the texts are deceptive, and often the ones you will believe to be true, will turn out to be fictional and vice versa.

Oder Über die körperliche Erziehung der jungen Mädchen. Mit "Nu au miroir" von Balthus
by Frank Wedekind, Balthus
Frank Benjamin Franklin Wedekind wurde am 24. Juli 1864 in Hannover geboren und starb am 9. März 1918 in München. Im Jahr 1884 begann Wedekind zu studieren. Er versuchte sich an der Literatur, der bildenden Kunst, der Musik und auf Wunsch seines Vaters an der Rechtswissenschaft. 1887 entstand Kontakt zur Gruppe ›Das junge Deutschland‹, über die er Gerhart Hauptmann kennenlernte. Von 1891 bis 1895 lebte Frank Wedekind in Paris. 1896 kehrte Wedekind zurück nach München und war dort Mitgründer und ständiger Mitarbeiter der Zeitschrift ›Simplicissimus‹, in der er auch Hieronymos veröffentlichte. Von 1899 bis 1900 verbüßte er eine sechsmonatige Haftstrafe wegen Beleidigung der kaiserlichen Majestät. In den Jahren 1902 bis 1908 war Wedekind Kabarettist und Schauspieler. 1906 heiratet er Tilly Newes. Er war ein Bohemien, das Antibürgerliche war sein Element. In allen seinen Werken hat er die Gesellschaft seiner Zeit entlarvt, verspottet und angeklagt. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Dramen stehen Menschen, die versuchen, sich der Verlogenheit und Heuchelei ihrer Epoche zu widersetzen, und sich meist als deren Opfer erweisen. Er hatte einen untrüglichen Instinkt für die Möglichkeiten und die Wirkungen der Bühne. Vom Naturalismus wandte er sich ab, dem Expressionismus bahnte er den Weg und wurde so eine der zentralen Figuren des modernen Dramas. Marcel Reich-Ranicki
