        Oikoá

        by Felipe Valério

        The name of this book is Oikoá, which means life in the language of the Guarani Mbya people. This name was chosen because the indigenous peoples have been the guardians of life on planet Earth: it is in their territories that there are more types of trees and plants, animals, fish, birds, insects, and where the rivers and forests are best preserved.

        Ukiyo-e

        by Li Pan

        Ukiyo-e is a print art popular during the Edo period (1601-1867) in Japan. It is known as the "encyclopedia of Japanese folklore". It features oiran beauty, Kabuki actors, erotic charms, scenery, flowers, birds, and social customs, representing the lifestyles and fashions of all classes of society at that time. Pan Li, an authority on Ukiyo-e research, clearly described the 300-year history of the rise and fall of Ukiyo-e. The ins and outs of 7 major genres including Torii School and Utagawa School, the life stories and artistic achievements of 31 masters including Kitagawa Utamaro, Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, etc., more than 200 classic works such as "One Hundred Views of Edo" "Three Beauties of the Present Day" "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" are perfectly displayed and fully analyzed in the book. Every Ukiyo-e picture carries a wealth of Japanese folk culture codes. Only by unlocking this information in detail can we say that we truly understand Ukiyo-e and have a more accurate understanding of Japanese culture. ——Pan Li 浮世绘是流行于日本江户时代(1601-1867)、出自民间画工的版画艺术,被誉为“日本民俗的百科全书”,它以花魁美人、歌舞伎演员、春宫魅惑、民俗风景、花鸟虫鱼等社会风俗为主要题材,表现当时社会各阶层的生活百态和流行时尚。 中国浮世绘研究权威潘力清晰地讲述了浮世绘300年的兴衰史。鸟居派、歌川派等7大流派的来龙去脉,喜多川歌麿、葛饰北斋、歌川广重等31位大师的生平故事与艺术成就,《歌撰恋之部》《富岳三十六景》《名所江户百景》等200多幅经典作品的风格解析,都在书中得到了完美展现。 每一幅浮世绘都承载着丰富的日本民俗文化密码,只有巨细无遗地解锁这些信息,才能说是真正看懂浮世绘,也才能对日本文化有更准确的认识。——潘力

        Involução e outros contos para um mundo em crise

        Colectânea de contos traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária 2020

        by Sandra Tamele

        Neste terceiro volume da Colectânea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária, apresentamos seis contos publicados entre 2017 e 2019 no âmbito do Caine Prize for African Writing e da colectânea New Short Fiction from Africa: ‘Involução’ da autoria da sul-africana Stacy Hardy que aborda abertamente a sexualidade da mulher, também preocupações sociais e políticas, faz alusão a questões como a degradação ambiental, o colonialismo e direitos da mulher, ancorados numa teatralidade conceptual necessária para que o conto não se torne efémero e engaje o sentido de humor do leitor para o aproximar da mente aberta de Hardy. ‘A heroína misteriosa’ ou ‘Mavbanelo na mayi’ em Bitonga, é da autoria da Tanzaniana Lydia Kasese. Ela escreve sobre as expectativas e pressões sociais que levam as mulheres a desejarem concertar tudo. Neste conto Kasese traz destramente à luz questões sobre o abuso de menores e o seu impacto sobre as famílias na Tanzânia e, não só. Alinafe Malonje estreou-se nesta colectânea da Short Story Day com o conto ‘Manutenção de Rotina’, um registo metafísico de um hotel: parte alegoria, parte meditação com um subtil comentário sobre o que significa ser mulher no Malawi. Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda cria um fabuloso hotel de fantasia que contém realidades sinistras, construindo um persuasivo mundo alternativo. Tariro Ndoro em ‘A lenda das duas irmãs’, ou ‘Xihitana xa vamakwavu na makwavu’ em Changana, traz uma abordagem arrepiante dos perigos da saudade, onde a busca por uma irmã num hotel de luxo em Victoria Falls tem um fim fantasmagórico. Mampianina Randria nos apresenta em ‘O Gatilho’, ou ‘Niyódeké sê xidúvúlá’ em Changana, um conto com um ritmo cerrado e um desfecho totalmente inesperado onde uma mulher que lida com as frustrações de quem entra na vida adulta.

        Wiesengrund

        by Gisela von Wysocki

        Die Geschichte der Annäherung an ein Faszinosum. Und die skurrilen, vergeblichen Versuche, seiner Anziehung zu entkommen. Wie ein magisches Geschehen erscheint der Salzburger Schülerin Hanna Werbezirk die Stimme eines Autors, der im Nachtstudio von Radio Wien zu hören ist. Es ist die des in Frankfurt am Main lebenden Philosophen, Soziologen und Komponisten Th. W. Adorno. Das unausgeführte »W« seines Namens, das für »Wiesengrund« steht, wird zur poetischen Einstiegsstelle in einen Roman, der sich an die Fersen der jungen Hanna Werbezirk heftet. Um Wiesengrund in natura zu erleben, geht sie als Philosophiestudentin nach Frankfurt am Main, wo sie in gänzlich neue Sphären hineingerät. Nicht nur in die politischen Turbulenzen der Zeit, sondern vor allem in jenes magische Feld, das sie selbst um den hazardeurhaften Denker errichtet hat. Über die Begegnungen mit ihm erzählt das Buch in einer Vielzahl von emblematischen Miniaturen. Und vom Denken eines Musikers, eines Poeten der Moderne, der die europäische Aufklärung auf seine Weise weiterschreibt.

        Wiesengrund

        by Gisela Wysocki

        Sterne sind aus Plasma und Gas gemacht. Der Vater muss es wissen, ein weit über Salzburg hinaus bekannter Astrophysiker. Hanna Werbezirk hält sie trotzdem für ewig. Und hat wenig Lust, ihm als Assistentin in seinem astronomischen Labor zu dienen. Im Nachtstudio hört sie heimlich die Vortragsfolge eines Autors, dessen Name sie sich merken wird. Wiesengrund. Er könnte hilfreich sein, für sie die Frage nach der Beschaffenheit der Sterne zu klären. Seine Worte, wendig und wandlungsfähig, eröffnen ihr den Blick in eine Welt mit eigenen Gesetzen. Das Gefühl einer Komplizenschaft mit dem radiophonen Mitternachtsbesucher macht aus der Lektüre seiner Schriften ein von Herzklopfen begleitetes Ereignis. Als Studentin der Philosophie reist Hanna einige Jahre später nach Frankfurt am Main, um Wiesengrund in natura zu erleben – und gerät in gänzlich neue Sphären. Die politischen Turbulenzen der Zeit wirken auch in ihre neuen Lebensverhältnisse hinein. Vor allem aber steht sie jenem magischen Feld gegenüber, das sie selbst um den hazardeurhaften Denker errichtet hat. Wiesengrund ist der zweite Roman der Schriftstellerin, Essayistin und Theaterautorin Gisela von Wysocki nach ihrem gefeierten Romandebüt Wir machen Musik. Er handelt von der Annäherung an ein Faszinosum. Und beschreibt die komischen, skurrilen Versuche, aber auch die Vergeblichkeit, seinem beklemmenden Zauber zu entkommen.

        Sommer war es

        Roman

        by Iselin C. Hermann, Regine Elsässer

        Ein Sommertag in den sechziger Jahren, eine verschwundene Zeit. Die fünfjährige Zwetsche sitzt mit ihrer Großmutter im Auto, sie sind unterwegs zum großelterlichen Gutshof, wo Zwetsche bleiben soll, bis ihre Eltern von ihrer Urlaubsreise zurückkommen. Auf dem Hof warten der Großvater, ihre drei studierenden Onkel und die Haushälterin Nea. Der Hof ist ein großer Abenteuerspielplatz, ein Paradies mit Kühen, Pferden und kurzen Ausflügen in die Stadt. Aber werden die Eltern wiederkommen? Die Bornholmer Uhr in der Diele mißt die Zeit, sie ist merkwürdig elastisch, wenn man erst fünf Jahre alt ist. Ein Tag währt ein ganzes Leben und das Abenteuer wartet in einer sich blähenden Sommergardine und den Glasaugen der ausgestopften Eule auf dem Schrank. Sommer war es ist die Erinnerungsphantasie einer Frau aus dem Land der Kindheit. Aus einer Zeit, in der die Erwachsenen riesige Nasenlöcher haben und merkwürdige Dinge sagen, die man nur halb versteht. Vielleicht haben wir es vergessen, aber genau so war es.
