Zur Evolution und Funktion des Spektakels
by Thomas Raab
Thomas Raab analysiert die Entertainmentindustrie aus ungewohnter Perspektive: nicht als Verfallsform früherer Hochkultur, sondern als notwendige Folge der biologischen Ausstattung des Menschen einerseits sowie der ökonomischen Entwicklung andererseits. Seine empirische Suche nach der evolutionären "Basis der Massenästhetik" führt ihn von der literarischen Bestandsaufnahme einer Casting-Show über zahlreiche Selbst- und Kleinkindbeobachtungen bis zu den Reaktionen seiner Katze auf Hundegeheul.

June 2022Die Kunst, unserer Sehnsucht zu folgen
Spiritualität in Zeiten des Umbruchs
by Michael Bordt SJ
Viren, Klima- und Strukturwandel – wir leben in Zeiten des Umbruchs. Das spüren wir im Alltag und es fällt uns schwer, dem etwas entgegenzusetzen. Etwas, das uns Ruhe, Halt und Tiefe gibt. Auch in Religionen finden viele Menschen keine Antworten mehr. Aber die Sehnsucht nach Sinn und Spiritualität, die gehört zu uns Menschen dazu. Viele lenken sich davon ab, andere sind ihr auf der Spur: Sie wandern durch den Wald, machen etwas Künstlerisches, verreisen an einen einsamen Ort, besuchen ein Yogaretreat oder einen Meditationskurs. Das Interesse an spirituellen Praktiken wächst – auch wissenschaftlich. Philosoph und Bestsellerautor Michael Bordt SJ schöpft aus der über Jahrhunderte gewachsenen spirituellen Praxis des Jesuitenordens und zeigt Wege, wie wir unserer Sehnsucht folgen können. Dabei nimmt er auch die anderen Religionen in den Blick. Raus aus dem alltäglichen Hamsterrad, hin zu einer neuen Geistesgegenwart und einer Heimat in uns selbst – und die ist für jede und jeden erreichbar.

Children's & YAA oficina do Cambeva (Cambeva's workshop)
by Lido Loschi
Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Children's & YAOikoá
by Felipe Valério
The name of this book is Oikoá, which means life in the language of the Guarani Mbya people.
