October 2006Jesus Christus Erlöser und Fieber – Tagebuch eines Aussätzigen
by Klaus Kinski, Peter Geyer
Was als Auftakt zu einer weltweiten Tournee geplant war, geriet zum legendären Skandalauftritt: Als Klaus Kinski, Schauspieler und Weltstar, am 20. November 1971 in der Berliner Deutschlandhalle als Rezitator seines eigenen Textes Jesus Christus Erlöser auf die Bühne trat, war den meisten der 4000 Besucher weniger nach Kinskis kluger persönlicher Auseinandersetzung mit dem Neuen Testament zumute als vielmehr nach Provokation und Tumult in der Halle. Am Ende des Abends lauschte ihm nur noch eine Handvoll Menschen, als er – nun ohne Mikrophon – seine ganz eigene Version von Jesus’ Leben vortrug. Zum 80. Geburtstag von Klaus Kinski am 18. Oktober 2006 wird Jesus Christus Erlöser erstmals veröffentlicht, gemeinsam mit den Gedichten Fieber – Tagebuch eines Aussätzigen, die Kinski in den fünfziger Jahren schrieb und die bei ihrem Erscheinen 2001 vom Focus als »literarische Entdeckung des Jahres« bezeichnet wurden.

Figs have been associated with health and prosperity since ancient times.

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2024Capitalism in contemporary Iran
Capital accumulation, state formation and geopolitics
by Kayhan Valadbaygi
By situating Iran within the neoliberal global capitalism and resulting geopolitics, this book traces the patterns of capital accumulation and transformations in class and state formation emanating from it. It shows that Iranian neoliberalisation has brought about two capital fractions, namely the internationally-oriented capital fraction and the military-bonyad complex. It substantiates that the co-existence of these competing class fractions with different accumulation strategies has generated hybrid neoliberalism. The book further demonstrates how this new class formation has reorganised the function and operation of state institutions and transformed state ideology. By documenting the ways in which Iranian neoliberalisation has reshaped the subaltern classes and formed Iran's volatile foreign policy, it also provides a novel account of major events and processes in contemporary Iran, such as the post-2017 wave of uprisings, the nuclear programme and international sanctions.
