        Geronnene Lava

        Texte zu politischem Totenkult und Erinnerung

        by Reinhart Koselleck, Manfred Hettling, Hubert Locher, Adriana Markantonatos

        »Gestorben wird alleine, zum Töten des Anderen gehören zwei. Die Fähigkeit des Menschen, seinesgleichen umzubringen, konstituiert vielleicht mehr noch menschliche Geschichte als seine Grundbestimmung, sterben zu müssen.« Der »gewaltsam Umgebrachten« zu gedenken, gehört zum Kern der politischen Kultur. Reinhart Koselleck hat mit seinen wegweisenden Arbeiten zum »Totenkult« ein neues Forschungsfeld erschlossen: die europäischen Denkmalslandschaften in ihrer ganzen historischen, ästhetischen und politischen Komplexität. Ob es sich um Opfer für das Vaterland oder um solche von Kriegen und Gewaltherrschaft handelt, ob Menschen in Bürgerkriegen und Revolutionen oder durch Staatsverbrechen, politischen oder religiösen Terror umgebracht wurden – alle sind »getötete Tote«. Ohne ihrer zu gedenken, so der Humanist Koselleck, ist ein Weiterleben nicht möglich. Der Band versammelt Kosellecks Aufsätze zum politischen Totenkult, publizistische Beiträge zu den Debatten über die »Neue Wache« und das Holocaustmahnmal in Berlin, theoretische Überlegungen zum Erinnerungsbegriff und unveröffentlichte autobiografische Notizen über seine Erfahrungen in Krieg und russischer Gefangenschaft. In Distanz zur populären »Erinnerungskultur« betonen sie die Unhintergehbarkeit der Differenz zwischen individueller Erfahrung und kollektiven Erinnerungskonstruktionen. Die Historie soll solche kollektiven Identitäten nicht stiften, sondern kritisch analysieren. Darin liegt für Koselleck die Aufgabe der Geschichtswissenschaft.

        The Gospel of Prosperity

        Literary and critical perspectives about the science of getting right quick

        by Luis Miguel Estrada

        In 2020, amidst the whirlwind of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ideas from books about the science of becoming a millionaire returned to Luis Miguel Estrada whom, since he left a financial job, has dedicated himself fully to literature. In this book, he thinks  some of the key questions raised by bestsellers from Napoleon Hill to Kiyosaki. Do we stop seeking money just because we pursue art? More importantly: regardless of what we do, how do we seek money? Why have narratives like positive thinking and the law of attraction become a universal language that gains strength during each economic crisis? Is there a link between bestsellers about the science of getting rich and great universal literature? This book attempts to answer these questions, beginning with the origins of books on becoming a millionaire, which delve into the agile 19th-century United States, transition through the fast-paced turn of the century, and explode in the years after the Great Depression. The journey continues with examples of wild successes (real-life fraudsters like Elizabeth Holmes or fictional criminals like Walter White from Breaking Bad) that prompt us to question the influence of success-at-any-cost ideas on popular culture, as well as their ethical limits. How can one reconcile readings, cultural products, and experiences that seem so distant? The broader reading audience responds more to "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill than to "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Is there a way to read them alongside each other and emerge renewed from the experience? This book invites you on that adventure.

        Lyme Disease

        An Evidence-based Approach

        by John J Halperin

        This new edition of Lyme Disease provides up-to-date evidence-based research and covers the significant advances in our understanding of the disorders referred to as Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis. This book explores the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, the role of host immunity on pathogenesis and long term prognosis. The authors provide balanced perspectives on all aspects of Lyme disease and explicitly review both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects. This new edition: Includes new borrelial pathogens that have been identified (B. miyamotoi, B. mayonii and B. bavariensis among others). Provides updated information on the molecular biology of the organism, neuroborreliosis, and the role of the C6 peptide in diagnosis. Discusses the controversies about 'chronic Lyme disease', post Lyme disease syndrome and other ongoing but non-specific symptoms that have been attributed to this infection. As the endemic footprint of Lyme disease continues to grow, this book provides a broad and detailed guide for clinicians and researchers involved with the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics, it is also essential reading for students of global health and infectious disease.

        The Salt

        by Adriana Riva

        “The silence stretches. We have come this far. Mom is that unreachable inch of skin between my shoulder blades, that bit that itches and I can’t scratch”.Beginning with a childhood accident, Ema digs into the bond with her mother and, pregnant with her second child, sets on a journey for answers: who is Elena, really? Does she know her well enough? Her mother is distant and there’s an area she can’t reach, no matter how hard she tries; that hasn’t changed over the years.With an appearance of simple prose, but charged with truthful images, Adriana Riva examines family relationships with an admirable precision, humor and rawness that turn The Salt into an intimate and touching novel. “This is the age of women, and argentinian literature is being renewed by many writers. Adriana Riva writes with verbal brilliance, creates wonderful images and shoots at the heart of empathy. With this book she asserts herself, without a doubt, as a truly unique voice in this literary scene”.Santiago Llach

        Angst

        by Adriana Riva

        Angst is a novel filled with sensitive and sophisticated images that are the result of the singular gaze of the author, skillful in the sewing together of metaphors and esthetic associations of rare originality. When literature grants us the privilege of witnessing these findings, the reading experience transforms into pure emotion; we find ourselves vulnerable in front of weird and valuable pieces that we graze with our fingertips just to test if they’re real. Beautiful and real. Her stories go beyond the dramatic experience; the proposal is to elevate them through the aesthetics of a refined and silky prose that will remain within the reader's sensibility and memory as a luminous work of art. Margarita García Robayo

        El menor (The Younger Brother)

        by Alicia Plante

        In her new novel, Alicia Plante confronts us again with atmospheres full of tension and expectations, along with a search for meaning, embodied in a brother who may hold the secret to our own identity. The writer -who seems to know the soul of each place she describes- plays with ever-changing and surprising backdrops, and now turns to a provincial town, which is a blend of charm and evil that seems to erupt in this “small town” scene. This offers a sharp contrast with the world of industry and finance, where the struggle for power and profit cannot hide its protagonists’ voracious greed, irrepressible passion, the danger of misplaced erotism, doubt, and loneliness.
