        Das Sams 1. Eine Woche voller Samstage

        by Paul Maar, Monty Arnold, Nina Dulleck, Janis Grossmann, Alexander Rieß, Frank Gustavus

        IWie aus dem Nichts taucht an einem Samstag ein eigenartiges Wesen mit roten Haaren, Trommelbauch und blauen Punkten im Gesicht bei Herrn Taschenbier auf: das Sams. Es ist laut, frech, singt Lieder und reimt von früh bis spät. Lauter Dinge, die Herr Taschenbier eigentlich gar nicht mag. Deswegen versucht er das Sams auch wieder loszuwerden. Doch, seltsam, je länger es bei Herrn Taschenbier bleibt, desto lieber gewinnt er es und wird sogar selber einmal ein bisschen frech zu seiner strengen Vermieterin Frau Rotkohl. Mag Herr Taschenbier sich am Ende gar nicht mehr vom Sams trennen? Der große Kinderklassiker vom großartigen Paul Maar, mit neuem Cover von Nina Dulleck, erstmals ungekürzt gelesen von Monty Arnold.

        Das Sams 2. Am Samstag kam das Sams zurück

        by Paul Maar, Monty Arnold, Alexander Rieß, Janis Grossmann, Nina Dulleck, Frank Gustavus

        Herr Taschenbier tut wirklich alles, damit das Sams zu ihm zurück kommt! Er trifft am Montag Herrn Mon, am Dienstag geht er brav zum Dienst. Am Mittwoch ist zum Glück ganz von alleine Mitte der Woche und am Donnerstag sorgt Herr Taschenbier höchstpersönlich mit Blech und Nudelholz für Donner. Und tatsächlich: Am Samstag kommt das Sams zurück! Und mit ihm viele neue Wunschpunkt. Papa Taschenbier legt sofort mit dem Wünschen los, doch obwohl das Sams ihm schon oft erklärt hat, wie man richtig wünscht, geht auch dieses Mal wieder einiges schief … Ungekürzte Lesung von Monty Arnold - insbesondere seine hingebungsvoll gesungenen Lieder, die das Sams so vor sich hin reimt, sind schreiend komisch!

        Das Sams 3. Neue Punkte für das Sams

        by Paul Maar, Monty Arnold, Nina Dulleck, Alexander Rieß, Janis Grossmann, Frank Gustavus

        Manchmal ist Herr Taschenbier sich nicht sicher, ob es wirklich der beste aller Wünsche war, dass das Sams für immer bei ihm bleibt. Schließlich hat es keine Punkte mehr im Gesicht und kann keine Wünsche mehr erfüllen, es ist nur noch vorlaut und gefräßig! Noch schlimmer aber ist, dass Herr Taschenbier sich verliebt hat und sich nicht traut seine Angebetete anzusprechen ... Wenn das Sams doch nur wieder Wunschpunkte hätte! Urkomisch gelesen von Monty Arnold.

        Ich schreibe Geschichten über Liebe und Tod, über die Existenz Gottes und über die Seele, sagt Jani Virk, der für eine Schriftstellergeneration steht, für die nicht mehr die Verteidigung einer slowenischen Minderheit und ihrer Sprache im Zentrum ihres Schreibens steht. Sie bewegen sich in der lesbischen Subkultur (Suzana Tratnik), haben Erfahrungen als Musiker in einer Punkband (Andrej Blatnik), schreiben in der Tradition der Street Poetry (Dužan ?ater) und beschreiben ein kosmopolitisches Leben, in dem der Diskurs zwischen den Geschlechtern, Liebe, Sexualität und Frauen in der Männerwelt die größte Rolle spielen.

        The Circular Economy and Green Jobs in the EU and Beyond

        by Brizga, Janis

        The circular economy is a model of production and consumption that is underpinned by a transition to renewable energy and materials. It is a resilient system that is good for business, people and the environment. "The Circular Economy and Green Jobs in the EU and Beyond" examines what the circular economy means, why the transition from a linear economy to a circular one is important, and how we can achieve it. The book offers clarification on the meaning and the implications of the circular economy across different contexts – economic, social, cultural, legal and international. In doing so, it goes beyond simply arguing in favour of a circular economy and critically assesses the political and distributional choices that are made during this transition. Particular emphasis is placed on the implications for jobs and different business models as well as on questions of equity.

        Rocket Girls

        Storie di ragazze che hanno alzato la voce

        by Laura Gramuglia

        Women in the history of rock are not few; but few are the ones remembered. However, armies of other female musicians fought with them, though their stories never gained the spotlight. But the moment to tell them has arrived. That’s why Rocket Girls is first of all a request for attention. A reading that encourages us to look beyond labels and consider female music not a genre in itself, but a world as rich and multi-faceted as the male one. You will meet fifty women who have fought the patriarchy of rock. One song for every artist, from the ’50s to this day.Nina Simone, M.I.A., Lauryn Hill, Saint Vincent, Madonna, Fiona Apple, Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell, Björk, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, Siouxie, Courtney Love, Janis Joplin, Marianne Faithfull, Nico, Sinead O’Connor, Whitney Houston, Cat Power, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Cher, and many more.

        An Essay for the English Profession on Potentiality and Singularity

        by Janis Haswell, Richard Haswell

        This is a very smart monograph, and a provocative one, with a powerful essay quality as it weaves back and forth between composition and literature perspectives. Surely there will be contention—highly productive contention. But I was just delighted to be pushed around by this book. —Christiane Donahue, Dartmouth The postmodern conviction that meaning is indeterminate and self is an illusion, though fascinating and defensible in theory, leaves a number of scholarly and pedagogical questions unsatisfied. Authoring—the phenomenological act or felt sense of creating a text—is "a remarkably black box," say Haswell and Haswell, yet it should be one of the central preoccupations of scholars in English studies. Not only can the study of authoring accommodate the "social turn" since postmodernism, they argue, but it accommodates as well conceptions of, and the lived experience of, personal potentiality and singularity. Without abandoning the value of postmodern perspectives, Haswell and Haswell use their own perspective of authorial potentiality and singularity to reconsider staple English-studies concerns such as gender, evaluation, voice, character, literacy, feminism, self, interpretation, assessment, signature, and taste. The essay is unique as well in the way that its authors embrace often competing realms of English studies, drawing examples and arguments equally from literary and compositionist research. In the process, the Haswells have created a Big Idea book, and a critique of the field. Their point is clear: the singular person/mysterious-black-box/author merits deeper consideration than we have given it, and the book's crafted and woven explorations provide the intellectual tools to move beyond both political divisions and theoretical impasses.
