Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2024Reanimating grief
Waking the dead in literature, theatre and performance
by William McEvoy
Reanimating grief is a wide-ranging study of the poetics of bereavement in theatre, literature and song. It examines the way cultural works reanimate the dead in the form of ghosts, memories or scenes of mourning, and uses critical and creative writing to express grief's subjectivity and uniqueness. It cover classic texts from Greek tragedy and Shakespeare to works by Anton Chekhov, Samuel Beckett, Enda Walsh, Sally Rooney and Maggie O'Farrell. The book argues that the return of the dead in theatre and fiction is an act of memorial and an expression of love that illustrates the relationship between art, enchantment and impossibility.

Children's & YABoo! When My Sister Died
by Richa Jha and Gautam Benegal
When Noorie’s sister Zoya dies, everything in Noorie’s world becomes silent. She knows her sister has gone forever. But what’s with Mummy’s silly lies that Zoya will always be around, by their side? And what is she to do about Zoya’s best friend Dhara, who just won’t leave Noorie alone? Boo! When My Sister Died is a story about finding strength in love and loss. Gautam Benegal blends a playful watercolour and wash-style with a somber digital crosshatch to bring together warmth in the memories of the sisters’ togetherness and the intensity of Noorie’s grief. Richa Jha’s spare and simple text keeps the story poignant, believable, and full of hope.

The ArtsJune 2006Mourning becomes...
Post/memory and commemoration of the concentration camps of the South African War 1899–1902
by Elizabeth Stanley, Bertrand Taithe, Roger Cooter, Carolyn Steedman
This fascinating work challenges many of the accepted facts about the concentration camps run by the British during the South African War. The author demonstrates that much of what we have traditionally understood about these camps originates the testimony which was solicited, selected and published by key women activists within Boer proto-nationalist circles. Using detailed archival evidence, she shows that much of the history of the camps results from a deliberate imposition of 'post/memory' - a process by which what was 'remembered' was shaped and reshaped to support the development of a racialised nationalist framework. Many of the camps' occupants died from successive epidemics of measles, typhoid, enteritis and pneumonia rather than deliberate ill-treatment, yet the book shows how mourning for those who died was overridden by state commemorative activities concerned with promoting pan-Boer nationalist aspirations. The innovative and groundbreaking approach of the author invites the reader to step into and explore with her the commemorative sites passed by nationalist land acts, which still powerfully mark the South African landscape. ;

by Andrés López Martínez
What happens when a mother dies? Death affects us in many ways, because of the absence and the emptiness it provokes. Sometimes the sadness is such that it makes us wonder through life aimlessly. Then we settle in nostalgia.

Le mystérieux tunnel de la rue Basel
by Pnina Ophir
Le mystérieux tunnel de la rue Basel, par Pnina Ophir Cette fascinante histoire se déroule dans un vieux quartier typique du centre de Tel-Aviv. Il y avait depuis bien longtemps une station de pompiers, des ambulances de la croix rouge, ainsi qu’un marché coloré. Un jour, la nature de la rue changea complètement. Des bulldozers commencèrent à détruire les immeubles du quartier, pour les remplacer par deux tours modernes d’habitation et un jardin public. Des enfants de 6ème habitant le quartier découvrent alors, qu’un plus des excavations de la société de construction, d’autres excavations privées se préparent. Deux criminels décidèrent de profiter du bruit et du tumulte dans le quartier pour chercher le mystérieux trésor qui avait été enterré il y a bien longtemps sous la station de pompiers. La curiosité et le courage des enfants permirent finalement de prendre les criminels sur le fait, et d’éclaircir ainsi tout le mystère.

FictionAll That We Don´t Know
by María de Alva
Four children have to deal with the killing of their father in violent, 1970's Northern Mexico. Grief does not stop because nobody in the family wants to talk about the murder for fear of disrupting family unity. The story is written from the perspective of four narrators. The first is a woman who tries to find the truth using her own recollection, photographs and a USB. A second narrator is a police detective who was the lead investigator of the killing and keeps a detailed file and realizes something doesn´t quite add up. A third narrator is a middle-aged woman, facing a cancer diagnosis and who, in the middle of treatment, starts remembering things about her father. The novel takes us deep into the dark wolrd of the 23 September Communist guerrilla in Mexico, weaving elements of historical fact and fiction, and trying desperately to answer questions about the need to for the truth.

SELF REMEMBERING
The Path to Non-Judgmental Love
by Red Hawk
Self Remembering: The Path to Non-Judgmental Love is a companion piece to the author’s previous book Self Observation: The Awakening of Conscience, also from Hohm Press, which is fast becoming a classic. Taken together, they present the most detailed examination of the practice available in English. Red Hawk clearly points out that self remembering is only one half of a foundational spiritual practice called “self observation/self remembering.” Where other authors/teachers have gone wrong in the past is to take only one half of this practice and consider it the whole, entire unto itself. There has not been a book-length study on self remembering that examines the practice from the many angles that Red Hawk’s does. His chapters cover such diverse yet integrated topics as: the Removal of Self Importance; Kaya Sadhana or the wisdom of the body; and Separation Grief, i.e., addressing the terror of our current situation without denial or dramatics.

February 2018Rhythm of Heartbreak. Verdammte Liebe
by Schulz, Heike
***Wer bist du, wenn jeder deine Songs kennt, aber niemand weiß, wer hinter der Maske steckt?*** Alexander ist ein gefeierter Star und wird mit etwas Glück in wenigen Wochen mindestens einen Echo abräumen. Bekannt unter dem Künstlernamen Quidamned ist er Deutschlands erfolgreichster Rapper. Regelmäßig bricht er alle Rekorde - und das obwohl niemand weiß, wer sich hinter der Pestmaske verbirgt, die er bei all seinen Auftritten trägt. Nicht mal die vielen unverbindlichen Affären, die ständig in seinem Bett landen, kennen sein Gesicht. Aber als ein heftiger Skandal sein Image ins Wanken bringt, ist die Jagd auf seine Identität eröffnet. Ihm bleibt keine andere Wahl, als abzutauchen. Reporter, Fans … das ganze Land sucht den Mann hinter der Maske, der in ein kleines Eifeldorf flüchtet, wo die "Goldene Aussicht" zu seinem Versteck wird. Doch der Versuch, sich dort völlig abzuschotten, scheitert, als er auf die Tochter der Pensionsbesitzer trifft. Es passiert, was er nie für möglich gehalten hätte: Der sonst so unnahbare Rapper hat nur noch Augen für Eine. Maxime. Aber Maxime hat keine Ahnung, wer er wirklich ist. Wie auch, wenn er es selbst nicht weiß? Während Maximes Vertrauen in ihn zunehmend auf die Probe gestellt wird, muss Alexander sich entscheiden: Will er weitermachen wie bisher oder für sein wahres Ich und seine Liebe kämpfen? #Lovesong, #Herzschmerz, #dieganzgroßeLiebe, #wechselndePerspektiven, #Schmökeralarm, #Lesefieber, #MusicLove
