        “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?

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Brosmind, Svenja Becker

        Als Muhammad klein war, wurde ihm sein Fahrrad gestohlen. Er wollte mit dem Dieb kämpfen, aber ein Polizist sagte ihm, er solle zuerst boxen lernen. Er trainierte unermüdlich und wurde ein eleganter und trickreicher Boxer. Sein großer Traum ging schließlich in Erfüllung: Er wurde Schwergewichtsweltmeister. Aber er konnte nicht nur gut mit seinen Fäusten umgehen, sondern zeigte auch außerhalb des Boxrings Zivilcourage. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Malerin, Tänzer oder Bürgerrechtsaktivistin, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen. Für welches Alter sind diese Bücher gedacht? Für Babys das perfekte Geschenk zur Begrüßung in eine Welt voller Träume! Und Eltern werden in schlaflosen Nächten von diesen Büchern dazu ermutigt, das Vorlesen zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil des Lebens zu machen. Kleinkinder werden von den Illustrationen verzaubert sein – sie werden zahlreiche Dinge entdecken. Auch sind die Bücher großartige „Vokabeltrainer“! 3- bis 5-Jährige werden alles, Illustrationen und Texte, geradezu in sich aufsaugen! 6-, 8- und 10-Jährige haben ein ausgeprägteres Verständnis für die Illustrationen und die Bedeutung der Geschichte – es geht nicht nur darum, sich selbst zu akzeptieren und die eigenen Zukunftsträume zu verwirklichen, sondern auch darum, andere so zu akzeptieren, wie sie sind. Später: Die Bücher sind gute Geschenke zu jedem Anlass, denn die Träume der Kindheit können das ganze Leben lang Wirklichkeit werden.

        Muhammad Ali

        by Peter Kemper

        »Ich werde das Boxen nicht vermissen, aber das Boxen wird mich vermissen.« Nicht zufällig hat man Cassius Clay alias Muhammand Ali als »fünften Beatle« bezeichnet. Zusammen mit den Liverpooler Musikern stellte er sich an die Spitze jener sozialen und kulturellen Umbruchbewegung, die alle westlichen Länder in den Sechzigern erschüttern sollte. Seine Kombination aus Trotz und Witz veränderte den Sound der Zeit. Gleichermaßen eloquent und unverfroren, immer angriffslustig und mit einem schier unerschöpflichen Repertoire an Ausdrucksformen, brachte sich Ali als erster Popstar des Sports auf die internationale Bühne, um dort ethnische, religiöse und politische Tabus leichthändig zu verhandeln. Sein beinahe schwereloser Stil veränderte den Boxsport, seine kompromisslose Haltung schockierte die Welt.
