Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2017Turkey facing east
Islam, modernity and foreign policy
by Ayla Gol
Turkey facing east is about the importance of Turkey's relations with its Eastern neighbours - Azerbaijan, Armenia and the Soviet Union - during the emergence of the modern Turkish nation-state from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. The principal strength of this book is that it not only combines historical and theoretical arguments in order to provide a better understanding of the foreign relations of a predominantly Muslim country from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, but it also applies the new approach to the analysis of Turkish foreign policy towards the South Caucasus between 1918 and 1921. Hence, it stands out with its original interdisciplinary approach to the Turkish transition and foreign policy-making that offers perspectives on the extant possibilities for the particular transitional states resulting from the Arab spring uprisings.

Itzjak Rabin, el crecimiento de un líder
by Shaul Webber
Itzjak Rabin, el crecimiento de un líder por Shaul Webber «Incluso antes del asesinato de Itzjak Rabin, siempre lo consideré un héroe enigmático», escribe el autor, Dr. Shaul Weber.El enigma se profundizó aún más tras su asesinato.Las apariciones de Rabin en los medios de comunicación y los testimonios de sus allegados reflejan una complejidad que no se puede pasar por alto.Siempre rodeado de otros, se distinguió como una persona solitaria emocionalmente distante.Rabin, un político que proyectaba su malestar con las normas políticas y un hombre íntegro y con bases morales, estaba sin embargo dispuesto a desviarse de sus ideales en aras de la seguridad nacional.A pesar de su imagen poco diplomática, se convirtió en un distinguido diplomático y en líder nacional. Rabin, que durante todos sus años de formación era retraído del punto de vista emocional, vergonzoso y brusco, exigía una perfección sin compromisos de sí mismo y de otros.Dotado de una capacidad de análisis excepcional, demostró sus cualidades de liderazgo incluso al no estar listo del todo para asumir las pesadas responsabilidades de liderazgo militar cuando fue forzado a hacerlo por circunstancias ajenas a su voluntad. En sus comienzos en el Palmaj, Rabin causó una buena impresión como alguien que exaltaba la camaradería, pero que era a la vez solitario, vergonzoso e incapaz de comunicarse.Aun cuando solía hablar en términos de «nosotros», se apartaba de los demás mediante barreras de individualismo y fastidio.Paradójicamente, aun siendo frío y analítico, tenía un temperamento irascible y era conocido por su forma de hablar brusca e incluso ofensiva.Sin embargo, en los últimos años de su vida, aprendió a expresar mejor sus sentimientos y a proyectar más calidez. El doctor Webber, como educador e historiador, da por hecho que cada persona es el producto de su infancia y de su crianza, un supuesto que brinda solo soluciones parciales al enigma de la infancia de Rabin, de su adolescencia y de su traumática y dolorosa experiencia como comandante de la brigada Harel durante la guerra de independencia de Israel en 1948.Durante toda su vida y en particular después de su muerte, se solía decir de Rabin que era la «sal de la tierra».No obstante, parece que para ganarse este noble título, uno también debe pasarla muy mal.Este libro trata de esas dificultades. Shaul Webber nació en Tel Aviv.Una vez finalizado su servicio militar, se unió al kibutz Haón, junto al lago de Tiberíades, o mar de Galilea.Al terminar la Guerra de los Seis Días, se incorporó al kibutz Merom Golán, en las Alturas del Golán, donde trabajó como educador y maestro.El autor es licenciado en filosofía y educación de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, tiene una maestría en educación de la Universidad de Haifa y el correspondiente doctorado de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén.Actualmente vive en la ciudad de Ramat Gan y enseña educación e historia en la Universidad Abierta.Este es el tercer libro del doctor Webber.Su primer libro, Camisa azul sobre fondo negro, publicado en 1998, describe cómo los movimientos juveniles en Eretz Israel se vincularon con la Diáspora durante el Holocausto y después de él.Su segundo libro, La colina misteriosa, publicada en 2003, analiza la famosa batalla de la Colina de las Municiones desde su punto de vista personal como soldado que participó en esa sangrienta contienda, así como desde el punto de vista de un investigador e historiador.Su libro recientemente publicado, El espía olvidado, trata del Mayor Max Bennett, uno de los agentes secretos más controvertidos y trágicos de Israel, un brillante oficial de inteligencia involucrado imprudentemente por sus superiores en la notoriamente fracasada operación secreta en Egipto a comienzos de la década de 1950 y que terminó trágicamente sus días allí, en la celda de una prisión.

Temor y valor en seis días:
by Yehuda Reves
Temor y valor en seis días: El testimonio de un soldado isarelí en perspectiva por Yehuda Reves A través del visor de un bazuca, este libro ofrece una visión crítica de temor, valor y orgullo, muerte y amor, amistad y odio, realidad y sueños místicos, de la fe y de lo laico, así como del final y el comienzo. Se trata de una colección de manuscritos, relatos y pensamientos escritos de manera intermitente durante un período de más de cuarenta años en el diario de un combatiente, durante las batallas de la Guerra de los Seis Días y tras ellas. Aquí se pinta una amarga y cruel realidad: cómo soldados matan, son heridos y mueren en el campo de batalla. Aquí se describen hechos entremezclados con imaginación y sueños. Se trata de una descripción que ejemplifica la índole de la sociedad masculina en el ejército israelí, con su combinación de ingenio, tosquedad e inocencia. Este libro fue escrito en el frente de batalla en el norte de Samaria y en el norte de los Altos del Golán. El autor sirvió en el cuerpo de blindados, como comandante de una compañía formada por seis vehículos. Todos estos manuscritos estaban atascados como balas en el cañón de un arma desde el fin de la guerra antes de que estuvieran listos para su recopilación en un volumen que incluye ahora las vivencias y la perspectiva de otro período de más de cuarenta años. Yehuda Reves es un silvicultor que durante toda su vida ha observado a personas, árboles, arbustos, el suelo y rocas inanimadas con un asombro inalterado. Ha tenido a su cargo la recolección de semillas y la propagación y plantación de árboles por cuenta del Departamento de Silvicultura de Israel. Hoy día viaja y se ocupa de la reproducción de plantas silvestres del Mediterráneo. El autor sirvió durante 32 años como oficial subalterno de reserva en el ejército israelí y participó en cuatro guerras. Está casado y tiene dos hijas y nueve nietos.

FictionWHY I CAN'T WRITE
How to survive in a world where you can’t pay rent, can’t afford to focus, be healthy or to remain principled. Dijana Matković tells a powerful story of searching for a room of her own in the late stages of capitalism.
by DIJANA MATKOVIĆ
It is a coming-of-age story for Generation Z. How to grow up or even live in a world where no steady jobs are available, you can’t pay your rent and can’t afford medical or living expenses. Moreover, it touches on how to be a socially engaged artist in such a world, and more so, a woman in a post-me too world? Dijana, a daughter of working-class immigrants, tells the story of her difficult childhood and adolescence, how should became a journalist and later a writer in a society full of prejudices, glass ceilings and obstacles. How she gradually became a stereotypical ‘success story’, even though she still struggles with writing, because she can’t afford a ‘room of her own’. Dijana is a daughter of working-class immigrants, who came to Slovenia in the eighties in search of a better future. The family is building a house but is made redundant from the local factory when Yugoslavia is in the midst of an economic crisis. When her parents get divorced, Dijana, her older sister and mother struggle with basic needs. She is ashamed of their poverty, her classmates bully her because of her immigrant status, but mostly because of her being ‘white trash’. In the local school she meets teachers with prejudices against immigrants, but is helped by a librarian who spots her talent. When Dijana goes to secondary school, she moves in with her older sister who lives in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Her sister is into rave culture and Dijana starts to explore experimenting with drugs, music and dance. At the secondary school, she is again considered ‘the weird kid’, as she isn’t enough of a foreigner for other immigrant kids because she is from the country, yet she isn’t Slovenian enough for other native kids. She falls even deeper into drug addiction, fails the first year of school and has to move back to live with her mother. She takes on odd jobs to make ends meet. Whilst working as a waitress she encounters sexism and sexual violence from customers and abuse from the boss. She finishes night school and graduates. She meets many ‘lost’ people of her generation along the way, who tell her their stories about precarious, minimum wage jobs, lack of opportunities, expensive rent, etc. Dijana writes for numerous newspapers but loses or quits her job, because she isn’t allowed to write the stories she wants or because of the bad working conditions or the blatant sexual harassment. Due to the high rent in the capital, Dijana has to move to the countryside to live with her mother. She feels lonely there, struggles with anxiety and cannot write a second book, because she is constantly under pressure to make a living. She realises that she must persevere regardless of the obstacles, she must follow her inner truth and by writing about it, try to create a community of like-minded people, a community of people who support each other – all literature/art is social.

Wie ich es sah und erlebte
by Johann Nittnaus
Ein Blick auf frühere Zeiten, Sitten und Gebräuche einer burgenländischen Gemeinde am Neusiedlersee: Johann Nittnaus beschreibt die Entstehung und Entwicklung der Ortschaft Gols aus eigenen Erinnerungen und Erzählungen seiner Eltern. Es wird das Dorfleben „von früher“ beschrieben, beginnend mit 1900 spannt er den Bogen über die 30er-Jahre bis hin zu den 90ern.

Historische Fakten aus der Golser Geschichte werden durch Anekdoten lebendig und greifbar. Weltgeschichte wird nicht nur in der weiten Welt geschrieben, sondern spiegelt sich in den Ortschaften und Familien wieder – Johann Nittnaus zeigt uns, wie wir mit Erinnerungen umgehen können. Einzelne Geschichten eignen sich fürs Vorlesen.

by Alejandro Mancilla, Juan Carlos Hidalgo (coords.)
You don't have to be Simon Kuper to affirm that soccer is an atmospheric and seductive experience in which it is possible to test an anthropological theory for the benefit of all fields of knowledge: nothing like soccer to demonstrate that in the secular world there is still room for gospels.

March 2020Nicht systemkonform
Menschen und Schicksale. 1938–1945
by Friedrich Radlspäck
Nicht systemkonform – Menschen und Schicksale – 1938-1945Mikroforschung zu nicht systemkonformen Menschen und ihren Verwandten sowie deren Schicksalen unter dem NS-Regime, ausgehend von in der Marktgemeinde Gols im Burgenland gebürtigen und/oder wohnhaften Personen. Mit diesem Werk verschafft uns Hobbyhistoriker Friedrich Radlspäck einen Einblick in die schwierige Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in Österreich. Sein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Verfolgung, Ausbeutung und Ermordung von Roma, Juden und Menschen mit Behinderungen. Der Golser geht den Fluchtrouten der Familien nach und schreibt über ihre Schicksale während und nach der Flucht. Darüber hinaus berichtet er über die Helferinnen und Helfer, welche sowohl in der Umgebung als auch im Ausland bemüht waren, die Verfolgten zu retten, und damit ihr eigenes Leben in Gefahr brachten.Friedrich Radlspäck recherchierte fünf Jahre lang auf wissenschaftlicher Basis über die Schicksale der in Gols geborenen oder wohnhaften Personen. Er durchsuchte Zeitungsartikel, Geburten- und Sterberegister, Unterlagen aus den KZs sowie wissenschaftliche Werke und Erfahrungsberichte. Was er herausgefunden hat, dokumentierte er, nachvollziehbar mit unzähligen Quellenverweisen. So entstand ein Werk, das auch für Laien verständlich aufzeigt, wie mit nicht systemkonformen Menschen umgegangen wurde. „Am Ende werden die Leserinnen und Leser sehen, dass die Beweggründe für meine Recherchen rein subjektiver Natur sind, während die Ergebnisse wissenschaftlich fundiert sind und objektiv dargestellt werden.“ Friedrich Radlspäck

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureFebruary 2022Away Days
by Álvaro de Grado
There is no better journalism than the one that is done on the ground, there is no better literature than the one that takes us far from home and there is no better passion than the one that is breathed in the stands during a football match in England. Álvaro de Grado made a decision in 2013 that changed his life: moving to Manchester. This book is the journey of someone who, from that day on, always plays as a visitor. It is the x-ray of a unique way of feeling football that emerges in the Premier League stadiums but also in the most modest fields. This book does not give news, it narrates the adventures and misadventures of a correspondent. It tells stories about a land and a people to whom the ball owes everything.
