        The Malleus Maleficarum

        by Peter Maxwell-Stuart

        A shocking glimpse into the mind of a medieval witch hunter. In 1487, the zealous Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer wrote a treatise that would have a remarkable influence on European history. Blaming women for his own lust, and frustrated by official complacency before what he saw as a monstrous spiritual menace, Kramer penned a practical guide to aid law officers in the identification and prosecution of witches. Fusing theology, lurid anecdotes and advice for those engaged in combating sorcery, The Malleus Maleficarum transports the reader into the dark heart of medieval belief - where fear of the supernatural provokes a gripping struggle for understanding and control. Kramer's book led to the burning of numerous innocents and had a lasting impact on the popular image of witchcraft. It remains a sinister symbol of fanaticism and cruelty to this day.

        Reise zum Vogel Simurgh

        Reise zum Vogel Simurgh

        Roman

        by Juan Goytisolo, Thomas Brovot

        »… heiter, beschwingt, bereit, in die Höhe zu fliegen, feinstofflich, farblos, vollkommen, versank ich in der Betrachtung der Eigenschaften des einsamen Vogels…« »Reise zum Vogel Simurgh« ist Goytisolos Schlüsselwerk – der Roman, in dem der große Einzelne seine Lebensthemen Sexus, Politik und Mystik auf radikal literarische Weise zusammenführt. Geschlechtlichkeit ist für den bekennenden Außenseiter eine Art Subversion per se: Bestandteil einer Entgrenzungserfahrung, in der sich Eros und Heiliges durchdringen. Die politische Sphäre hat der Emigrant und unermüdliche Kritiker geschlossener Systeme von jeher auf die in ihr angelegten Ausgrenzungen befragt. Sufidichtung und spanische Mystik schließlich, in der prägnanten Ausformung des Juan de la Cruz, waren es, die ihn in seiner tiefsten existentiellen Krise aus Angst und Enge geführt haben. Raffend, in träumerischer Plötzlichkeit des Wechsels, nimmt uns der Roman zu Räumen der Inquisition und der Repression ebenso mit wie zu Bordellszenen, ideologischen Familienfeiern, dem heimlich-peinlichen Wirken des Zensors – in immer neuen Bildern gräbt Goytisolo sich in jenes Dunkelgebiet von gesellschaftlicher Unterdrückung und radikalindividuellem Ausbruch. Indem der vielgestaltige Erzähler des Romans sich dem geistigen Abenteuer des Sufismus und der Mystik hingibt, gelangt er – jenseits der »dunklen Nacht der Seele« – vom verlorenen Paradies bis hin zum wiedergefundenen Garten Eden. Juan Goytisolo hat nie ein indifferentes Buch geschrieben. Am wenigsten ist es dieses.

        The Little Honey Bee and Friends

        by Friederun Reichenstetter/ Hans-Günther Döring

        Bees, butterflies, ladybirds! So many insects are out and about in our native meadows. This puzzle book is full of little informative texts, animal stickers and pictures to colour in which not only educate but also promote early awareness about the environment and conservation. The pedagogical concept works through age-appropriate tasks and a clear structure: true-to-nature picture book illustrations on the left-hand side with a short factual text that can be read aloud or independently, plus a quiz question, then on the right-hand side are stickers and a puzzle to colour in. Testing knowledge is good. But this goes further: encouraging children to be inquisitive and imaginative about nature. At the end each animal sticker book with the little honey bee will look different. However you want it to be.

        Ponto de Ruptura

        by Olufunke Ogundimu

        Olufunke Ogundimu explora neste potente conto a sua escrita afrofuturista, num 2087 aterradoramente próximo, quando tudo muda, menos a barreira entre quem tem e quem não tem. Onde os pobres ficaram do lado fora de onde é fácil negar a realidade, num mundo distorcido de quem acredita que mudança climática é fake news. Até o planeta terra atingir o ponto de ruptura e mover as areias dos grandes desertos arrasando fronteiras nacionais, cidades, assoreando rios e oceanos impondo novas formas de viver aos humanos.

        “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?

        Evita (DE)

        Evita (DE)

        by Dvora Schechner

        Evita - von Dvora Schechner Die faszinierende Geschichte vom kurzen und intensiven Leben der Eva Perón (1919-1952). Das Buch handelt von den Leidenschaften, Ängsten, dem Hass, den sie umgebenden Menschen, den Momenten und Hintergründen, die Eva zu Evita machten. „Ich gestehe, daß ich eine Vision habe, eine große und persönliche Vision: Ich wünsche, daß Evita einmal einen Platz in der Geschichte meines Landes einnehmen wird“ schrieb sie wenige Monate vor ihrem Tod. Ihr Wunsch ging in Erfüllung. Aber wo ist dieser Platz ? Wer war Evita ? Evita ist die Hauptdarstellerin zahlloser Werke, von wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen bis hin zu Romanen und Gedichten, Theaterstücken, Musicals oder Filmen. Die meisten legen einen der widersprüchlichen Mythen über ihren Charakter zugrunde. Sie war zu ihrer Zeit die am meisten geliebte und gehaßte Frau. Für einige ist sie die Mutter der Armen und Ausgebeuteten, die heilige Evita. Für andere die Sünderin, die Frau mit der Peitsche, die autoritäre Nazi–Peronistin. Noch 20 Jahre später gab es eine Generation, die überzeugt war, daß Evita, wenn sie denn noch lebte, jetzt eine Guerillaführerin wäre. Dvora Schechner sieht sie unter ganz anderen Aspekten. Das Buch analysiert die Revolution der Peronisten und blickt zurück auf die Vorstellungen von Juan Perón. Sie legt sehr genau dar, wie Evita ihr eigenes Charisma gezielt geformt hat, um Teil eines populistischen und autoritären Regimes zu werden und schließlich ganz nach oben zu gelangen. Dvora Schechner wurde 1930 in Buenos Aires geboren. Ihre Jugend verbrachte sie in den Reihen der Opposition zum Regime der Peronisten, bis sie 1952 nach Israel kam, zwei Monate vor Evitas Tod. Sie studierte in Tel Aviv Philosophie, Kunst und Geschichte. Ein Dokumentarfilm über die Trauer und das Weinen von Millionen von Argentiniern um Evita regte sie an, deren Mythos zu entziffern. Sie hat unter anderem veröffentlicht: Der Spanische Bürgerkrieg (Tel Aviv, 1962-70) Die spanische Inquisition (Tel Aviv, 1972) Evita (Tel Aviv,1995) und Ein politisches Mädchen (2003). Die Autorin lebt, schreibt und lehrt heute in Israel. Rechte in deutscher und anderen Sprachen noch erhältlich!

        Dance of the Wild

        by Richa Jha and Ruchi Mhasane

        Little Shilu loves to dance around naked. She wants to be like the animals; like Pirate, her cat. When her grandmother Nannu says she can’t because she is now a big girl, Shilu gets down to understanding why she can’t. Peppered with Nannu’s loving chiding, intimate grandma-granddaughter bonding over conversations, and a heart-to-heart between the mother and this little inquisitive daughter, this book is a reflection of the wild and free nature of childhood.  Rhuchi Mhasane’s soft evocative illustrations rendered in pencil with watercolour, and put together digitally, create a dreamlike charm. Richa Jha’s gentle, affectionate and lyrical text takes the reader into the mind of the little girl who can’t wait to get the answers to her ‘Why can’t I?’

        Celtic Identity and the British Image
        Humanities & Social Sciences
        December 1999

        Celtic Identity and the British Image

        by Murray Pittock

        This work explores the idea of the Celt and the definition of the so-called "Celtic Fringe" over the last 300 years. It is an in-depth study of the literary and cultural representation of Ireland, Scotland and Wales over this period, and is based on a wide-ranging grasp of issues of national identity and state formation. The idea of the Celt and Celticism is once again highly fashionable. Is there such a common Celtic heritage? What is the place of the "Celtic Fringe" in British identity? Pittock begins by assessing the term "Celtic" itself, by questioning its validity, going on to examine its historic uses and heroic notions of Scotland's past. The Celtic Revival of the late 19th century is examined in detail together with its impact on Irish nationalism. Pittock asks how far the "Celtic" experience in Britain can be described as a colonial one, and examines the importance of the Celtic languages in preserving a sense of identity. Contemporary issues such as the literary language of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the growth of modern Scottish nationalism are also considered. ;

        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.

        When Miss Vee Noonie falls in love with garlic, there is pandemonium in the house. She is a vampire, after all. Her parents do their best to urge her to stay away from it. Garlic, they tell her, is fatal for vampires. Freethinker Vee’s research tells her that’s not true and she leaves no stone unturned in convincing her folks. Does she succeed? Richa Jha celebrates a young thinking mind’s spirit of inquisitiveness, questioning the given, persuasiveness and non-conformist free will in this pacey picture book that is packed with sharp dialogues, intense passion, and chic humour. The breathtaking sweep of Kunal Kundu’s detailed etching and dramatic artwork lingers on till long after the book has been put aside.

        Speculation by Commodity Index Funds

        Speculation by Commodity Index Funds

        The Impact on Food and Energy Prices

        by Scott H. Irwin, Dwight R. Sanders

        Commodity futures prices exploded in 2007-08 and concerns about a new type of participant in commodity futures markets began to emerge. Market participants, regulators, and civic organizations began raising concerns that inflows from new "commodity index" investments were driving the increases in commodity prices instead of economic fundamentals. The main argument was that unprecedented buying pressure from these speculative long-only futures traders created massive bubbles that resulted in prices substantially exceeding fundamental value. At the time, it was not uncommon to link concerns about speculation and high prices to world hunger, food crises, and civil unrest. Naturally, this outcry resulted in numerous regulatory proposals to restrict speculation in commodity futures markets through transaction taxes, speculative position limits, and even the bizarre idea of a "virtual reserve" whereby a public agency would take futures positions opposite speculators. At the core, these assertions raised major economic questions about the efficiency of price discovery in commodity futures markets. Moreover, these so-called remedies did not come without a potential cost. Burdensome regulations would increase compliance and risk sharing costs across the global food system-lowering prices for producers and increasing costs to consumers. To guide this debate, a rigorous approach was needed to understand the dynamics between prices and commodity index activity. This book documents a curated selection of papers on the impact of index investment on commodity futures prices. The chronology of the papers roughly follows the timeline of our involvement in the world-wide debate about commodity speculation as it evolved after 2007. The 10 papers follow the evolving speculation debate with new author forwards highlighting the contribution and impact. Policy-makers, researchers, and market participants will find this not only as useful documentation of the debate; but, also a natural starting point when high commodity prices inevitably create the next speculation backlash.
