        Geschichten vom Herrn Keuner

        by Ulf K., Bertolt Brecht, Ulf K., Bertolt Brecht

        »›Woran arbeiten Sie?‹ wurde Herr K. gefragt. Herr K. antwortete: ›Ich habe viel Mühe, ich bereite meinen nächsten Irrtum vor.‹« Diese Situation ist typisch für die Geschichten vom Herrn Keuner: eine einfache, alltägliche Ausgangsfrage und die überraschende, unerwartete Antwort. Die dialogisch-dialektische Struktur dieser parabelhaften Prosaminiaturen und ihr subtiler Humor eignen sich eigentlich hervorragend für die Umsetzung als Comic. Dennoch kann es nicht verwundern, dass sich bislang noch niemand an sie herangetraut hat, denn: Wie lassen sich Denkbilder in gezeichnete Bilder umsetzen? Und wie lässt sich Bertolt Brechts Kunst- und Spielfigur Keuner, die durchaus autobiografische Züge trägt und dennoch als ein Mann ohne Eigenschaften gilt, überhaupt darstellen? Ulf K., einer der international renommiertesten deutschen ComicKünstler, hat es nun gewagt und überrascht mit einem Herrn K., der absolut zeitlos-modern ist und dennoch unser Zeitgenosse sein könnte. Diese schwungvoll-frische Adaption erweckt den Eindruck, Brecht habe die Geschichten soeben erst für unsere unmittelbare Gegenwart geschrieben und uns gemeinsam mit Ulf K. ein ebenso intellektuelles wie ästhetisches Vergnügen beschert.

        Passing into the present

        Contemporary American fiction of racial and gender passing

        by Sinead Moynihan

        This book is the first full-length study of contemporary American fiction of passing. Its takes as its point of departure the return of racial and gender passing in the 1990s in order to make claims about wider trends in contemporary American fiction. The book accounts for the return of tropes of passing in fiction by Phillip Roth, Percival Everett, Louise Erdrich, Danzy Senna, Jeffrey Eugenides and Paul Beatty, by arguing meta-critical and meta-fictional tool. These writers are attracted to the trope of passing because passing narratives have always foregrounded the notion of textuality in relation to the (il)legibility of "black" subjects passing as white. The central argument of this book, then, is that contemporary narratives of passing are concerned with articulating and unpacking an analogy between passing and authorship. The title promises to inaugurate dialogue on the relationships between passing, postmodernism and authorship in contemporary American fiction.

        What am I doing in New York City? fragt der jüngste und vielversprechendste Songwriter New Yorks, ein Aufnahmegerät in der Hand, ein Notizbuch griffbereit in der Hosentasche. Und was ihm einfällt, landet entweder als Song im Recorder und später auf CD oder im Heft und wird zum pulsierenden Text: Eine Zeitlang sammelte Adam Green seine Textproduktion jenseits der Musik in Fanzines, den sogenannten magazines. Jetzt sind diese, zusammen mit dem Langgedicht "Flowers of Capitalism" und anderen zwischen 2001 und 2004 entstandenen Texten, erstmals in Buchform erhältlich.

        The contemporary law of armed conflict

        by Leslie C. Green, Iain Scobbie, Jean D'Aspremont, Dominic McGoldrick

        Green's The contemporary law of armed conflict has been acclaimed as one of the most significant works on the law of armed conflict to appear in recent years. The first edition was adopted as a basic text by military institutions and educational establishments throughout the world and is among the most comprehensive and readable works on the subject. This new edition brings the work up to date, examining the significance of the World Court's Opinion on the legality of the nuclear weapon. It also considers the importance of such matters as the laser weapon agreement, the mines treaty and the jurisprudence of the two war crimes tribunals, that for the former Yugoslavia as well as for Rwanda, and assesses the role of the proposed International Criminal Court as it may affect the law of armed conflict. The book applies a practical as well as a theoretical approach, and draws on an extensive range of national and international practice. It is thus an indispensable reference for the armed forces and government defence organizations, as well as academics and students interested in the modern law of war. ;

        Lines Written with the Green Pen

        by Mei Zihan, Ma Xiaode

        Lines Written with the Green Pen is a poem for children written by the famous children's literature writer Mei Zihan. It is about a boy trying to write poems with his green pen. At first, he doubts whether he can write poems. Then he takes a walk and starts creating his own lines—he says hello to the sky; he wonders about the leaves, birds’ chirping, the gone clouds, the old lady and the yellow dress… He, the “little ant poet”, writes, “Those who are dreaming are awake. Hence, the night and the day meet on the pillow.” In the end, he drops down his green pen and decides to fly and be the child as he is.
