        Spanische Barmherzigkeit

        Roman

        by Abraham B. Jehoschua, Markus Lemke

        Abraham B. Jehoschua erzählt in seinem meisterhaft komponierten Roman von einem erfolgreichen Leben und von dem Preis, der dafür gezahlt werden muss. Als der Regisseur Jair Moses zu einer Retrospektive seiner Filme nach Santiago de Compostela eingeladen wird, will er die Reise nach Spanien in Begleitung von Ruth, seiner langjährigen Weggefährtin, genießen. Aber dann ruft ein verstörendes Bild in seinem Hotelzimmer vergessen geglaubte Erinnerungen wach: Eine Filmszene, in der Ruth als junge Frau einem Bettler am Straßenrand die Brust geben sollte, führte zum Zerwürfnis mit dem Drehbuchautor, seinem engsten Freund. Wie konnte es so weit kommen? Die Konfrontation mit seinen alten Filmen, noch dazu in der fremden Sprache, lässt Moses tief in seine Vergangenheit eintauchen und ihn die Ereignisse von damals in einem neuen Licht sehen. Der überwältigende Wunsch nach Versöhnung wird für ihn zum Auslöser für die Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Geschichte.

      • The doctor and the monster

        a reading of latin american progressivism and its opposites

        by Fabio Luis Barbosa dos Santos & Daniel Feldmann

        In Stevenson's classic novel, The Doctor and the Monster, the respectable Dr. Jekyll, after disastrous experiments, frees his cruel alter ego, Mr. Hyde, which makes the work a metaphor for the dual nature of individuals. Borrowing this analytical key from literature, Fabio Luis Barbosa dos Santos and Daniel Feldmann discuss the contradictions of progressivism in Latin America. Divided into two parts — the first focused on the general panorama of the continent, the second dedicated to the context of the Bolsonaro government — this book seeks to elucidate how progressive politics strengthened an economic logic incapable of definitively breaking with neoliberal practices and, in light of this, it deepened the “social fractures that its government techniques intended to mitigate”. In response, the rise of a conservative wave was encouraged, even more committed to the interests of those “above” and even more violent with the contesting response from the streets. In the end, the authors identify valuable points for a future of emancipated nations, committed to effective solutions to popular problems and that reject any form of “lesser evil”.

        Why I can't like him/her?

        by Anna Claudia Ramos, Antônio Schimeneck

        Adolescence is a time of many doubts, anxieties and uncertainties. In this phase, sexuality is unfolding, and we are going through — because everyone has gone, is going or will go through — self-questions about all conditions, all desires, including regarding sexuality. If on the one hand, we see in beautiful social networks beautiful movements of self-acceptance and discovery, on the other hand we live in a time of great obscurantism and attempt to cage the desires and contain the experiences of young people – whether at home or at school, and unfortunately, many times, with public authority initiative. This book asks this of young people, who often find themselves trapped by a cultural need (or family pressure) to create heteronormative bonds, when, in fact, they feel the desire for people of the same sex. But this book also understands that it is necessary to take this issue to the world, so that everyone reflects on otherness, sexuality and, mainly, the many possibilities of affection and desire. Por que não consigo gostar dele/dela? is a book with two sides, two covers, four stories and many testimonials.

        The work is the result of a call addressed to the community of the School of Plastic and Audiovisual Arts of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, in the year 2021, in which students and teachers were invited to share their experience since the beginning of the confinement within the framework of the sanitary contingency; this through a plastic work, a text, or both, so that different expressions about how life has been modified since the existence of the coronavirus were combined.
