The ArtsMay 2021Development, architecture, and the formation of heritage in late twentieth-century Iran
A vital past
by Ali Mozaffari, Nigel Westbrook
This book analyses the use of the past and the production of heritage through architectural design in the developmental context of Iran, a country that has endured radical cultural and political shifts in the past five decades. Offering a trans-disciplinary approach toward complex relationship between architecture, development, and heritage, Mozaffari and Westbrook suggest that transformations in developmental contexts like Iran must be seen in relation to global political and historical exchanges, as well as the specificities of localities. The premise of the book is that development has been a globalizing project that originated in the West. Transposed into other contexts, this project instigates a renewed historical consciousness and imagination of the past. The authors explore the rise of this consciousness in architecture, examining the theoretical context to the debates, international exchanges made in architectural congresses in the 1970s, the use of housing as the vehicle for everyday heritage, and forms of symbolic public architecture that reflect monumental time.

March 2023“Witness to the Mutilations of the Sky”
Fiction and testimony in the work of Mohammed Dib
by Hervé Sanson
From his earliest writings, Algerian writer Mohammed Dib (1920-2003) never gave in to the use of didactic, transparent language, nor to the expectations of so-called “commissioned” literature. It's the work of the language in its syntactic cutting, the weighing of the letter, that's important. In fact, the Dibian witness is masked: he conceals within himself what I'd like to call a literary witness, i.e. a textual device, plural in its declensions, which, going against the expected, allows for other times, (re)plays the texts in their unspoken, questions the memory of the texts, renews the very conception of the witness and asks the following question: what witness when fiction gets involved? This essay, covering fifty years of uninterrupted creation, sets out to delineate the various passages of witness that Dib's work encourages, but cannot avoid questioning the very nature of exegesis and the position of the exegete: do I become, at the end of this relay, the ultimate witness who wishes, from the depths of his heart, to pass the baton to a new guarantor?

Vier moderne Theaterstücke
by Martin Heckmanns, Lutz Hübner, Yasmina Reza, Peter Weiss, Frank Heibert, Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel, Wilhelm Schmid, Thomas Laue
Inhalt: Martin Heckmanns. Kommt ein Mann zur Welt Das Stück erzählt Brunos Lebensgeschichte von der Geburt bis zum Friedhof. Es ist die Geschichte eines Performancekünstlers, der ins Gefängnis kommt, eines Sängers mit einem einzigen Hit und einem Comeback, es ist die Geschichte seines Kampfes um Individualität und um das Lebensglück und sie endet mit einem letzten Satz auf dem Sterbebett »Ich hätte vielleicht …«. Das hat ein Dramatiker lange nicht gewagt: ein ganzes Leben, die menschliche Tragikomödie voller Witz und leisem Weh. Lutz Hübner. Ehrensache Eigentlich hatte der Samstag so gut angefangen. Zwei Jungen lernen zwei Mädchen kennen, man verabredet einen Ausflug in die Großstadt, Shoppen usw., doch nichts läuft so wie geplant. Am Abend liegt die junge Ellena tot auf einem Rastplatz. Die Fakten sind eindeutig: die beiden Jungen Cem und Sinan sind die Täter. Ein Gerichtsgutachter sucht nach den Motiven, war es gekränkte Ehre, Männerfreundschaft oder Rache? Lutz Hübner greift mit diesem authentischen Fall das Thema traditioneller Geschlechterbilder auf, bei dem unterschiedliche Wertvorstellungen scheinbar unversöhnlich aufeinanderprallen. Yasmina Reza. Der Gott des Gemetzels.Aus dem Französischen von Frank Heibert und Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel Veronique und Michel haben Annette und Alain zu einem Nachmittagskaffee eingeladen, weil die beiden Söhne der Ehepaare sich auf dem Schulhof geprügelt haben. Was als versöhnungsambitionierter Nachmittag beginnt, entwickelt sich schnell zu einer Reise durch die Abgründe der Be- und Erziehungshöllen aller Beteiligten. Mit erbarmungslosem Humor führt Yasmina Reza die moderne bürgerliche Gesellschaft vor, die sich nach außen so verbindlich zeigt, in der am Ende nur eines die Oberhand behält: das Gesetz des Gemetzels. Peter Weiss. Inferno In Anlehnung an Dantes Divina Commedia plant Peter Weiss in den sechziger Jahren eine Trilogie, von der uns der dritte Teil Die Ermittlung lange bekannt ist. Erst 2003 wurde der e

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Brosmind, Svenja Becker
Als Muhammad klein war, wurde ihm sein Fahrrad gestohlen. Er wollte mit dem Dieb kämpfen, aber ein Polizist sagte ihm, er solle zuerst boxen lernen. Er trainierte unermüdlich und wurde ein eleganter und trickreicher Boxer. Sein großer Traum ging schließlich in Erfüllung: Er wurde Schwergewichtsweltmeister. Aber er konnte nicht nur gut mit seinen Fäusten umgehen, sondern zeigte auch außerhalb des Boxrings Zivilcourage. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Malerin, Tänzer oder Bürgerrechtsaktivistin, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen. Für welches Alter sind diese Bücher gedacht? Für Babys das perfekte Geschenk zur Begrüßung in eine Welt voller Träume! Und Eltern werden in schlaflosen Nächten von diesen Büchern dazu ermutigt, das Vorlesen zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil des Lebens zu machen. Kleinkinder werden von den Illustrationen verzaubert sein – sie werden zahlreiche Dinge entdecken. Auch sind die Bücher großartige „Vokabeltrainer“! 3- bis 5-Jährige werden alles, Illustrationen und Texte, geradezu in sich aufsaugen! 6-, 8- und 10-Jährige haben ein ausgeprägteres Verständnis für die Illustrationen und die Bedeutung der Geschichte – es geht nicht nur darum, sich selbst zu akzeptieren und die eigenen Zukunftsträume zu verwirklichen, sondern auch darum, andere so zu akzeptieren, wie sie sind. Später: Die Bücher sind gute Geschenke zu jedem Anlass, denn die Träume der Kindheit können das ganze Leben lang Wirklichkeit werden.

Sechs moderne Theaterstücke
by Chantal Akerman, Oliver Bukowski, Dirk Dobbrow, Tankred Dorst, Yasmina Reza, Martin Walser
"Chantal Akerman: Der UmzugWenn eine Person umzieht, wird möglicherweise auch eine Liebe verlassen oder eine neue gefunden.

February 2021The Wind has Said its Name
by Mohamed Abdallah
“A wise malice radiated from his features, and one always had the impression that he knew more than he was willing to say, that a shrewd reflection lurked behind his smiles. His quick wit and good humor were the delight of La Mauresque and its surroundings; a reminder through his quiet charm that the world could still harbor delicacy.” Mohamed Abdallah Oran, autumn 1954. At La Mauresque, a space symbolizing a whole country in turmoil, in the heart of the indigenous city of Oran, the doubts of its occupants multiply and questions abound. Journalists, politicians, novelists, poets and artists grapple with a pivotal moment in their countries' history. The old world is dying, while the new one is slow to emerge for them. Hesitations and initiatives abound. They are trying to navigate by sight in an ocean so vast that it merges with the horizon; a horizon they sometimes seem to forget, but which the author has tried to give readers a constant view of through his novel: Le Vent a dit son Nom (The Wind Has Said Its Name). Multiplying references to emblematic figures in the awakening of consciences to freedom, Mohamed Abdallah attempts to offer a fresh look at the role that men of letters, intellectuals and, more generally, people of culture can play, at a time when a Nation is preparing to face new trials. These are themes that still resonate today.

October 2023The Nile of the Living
by Mohamed Abdallah
“In the old days, passing on an inheritance was rarely an issue. Oh, there were always old men to complain about the folly of the new generations and cheeky brats ready to mock their elders, but, on the whole, the world of sons resembled that of fathers, and the lessons of the latter were passed on without much difficulty. Today, each era seems to create its own world, bringing its own new life into it. The challenge is not to lose sight of the aspects of continuity that reign from one era to the next.” Mohamed Abdallah Egypt, its neighbors. Cairo, a city that has created an arena for itself between the jaws of the desert. Its river emerges from elsewhere, the Nile, always there, meandering amiably between Cairo's buildings, sometimes disappearing behind a mosque or cinema, before reappearing for good, an ancient comrade in a procession backwards through the decades. Its nourishing trickles are laden with secrets, the destinies of men and women and the mysteries of millennia. One era? No, several. At the beginning, or rather at the end, two novelists, two cousins who don't know each other but remember the same universe. In their books, they recount its beauty, greatness and pettiness, successes and failings. The root of this painful poetics? A revived horizon, refracted from one era to the next. Revolutions wished for, sung about, mourned. A world, several continents believing themselves to be in the hollow of a valley where faces emerge, voices rise, psalms are declaimed, music dances, scents run through the streets... Oumm Koulthoum, Youcef Cha-hine, Tawfiq al-Hakim, Ahmad Shawqi, Cheikh Imam, Fouad Nagm, Soad Hosny and... take their place at Café Isfet in the El Gamaliyya district. Broken, twisted, surviving, magnificent friendships. Unspoken loves, over-thought, under-experienced. Good-natured, jovial, albeit frazzled, witnesses. And, in the midst of this field of superb ruins, life, its aspirations, the arts and their.

Children's & YADecember 2020The Soul
by Richa Jha and Ruchi Shah
The lonely writer Lekhan huffs and puffs every time the noisy street he lives in brings a new disturbance to interrupt his tales. Desperate to find a solution, Lekhan devises a plan which slowly leads him away from all the giggles and pitter-patter and chitter-chatter. The only problem remains is that his stories are silent, they do not cry anymore. Nor do they smile anymore. Richa Jha’s narrative sprinkles magic in the tedious effort to find and express into words, the soul of a story. Ruchi Shah’s vivid and curious illustrations bring to life an artist’s journey towards inspiration and drawing the best of their art from the world around them.
