October 2021Lost in Perfection
Zur Optimierung von Gesellschaft und Psyche
by Vera King, Benigna Gerisch, Hartmut Rosa
Das Streben nach Optimierung kann gegenwärtig als eine der bedeutsamsten Leitvorstellungen gelten. Wer nicht abgehängt werden will, hat kaum eine andere Wahl, als sich auf das rastlose Bemühen um Selbstverbesserung einzulassen – mit weitreichenden Folgen für Arbeit und Familie, für Beziehungen, Körper und Selbst. In diesem Buch werden die Bedingungen und die Auswirkungen sowie die Widersprüche und die Grenzen der Optimierung in Gesellschaft, Kultur und Psyche untersucht. Im Besonderen geht es um neue kulturelle Vorstellungen von Pathologie und Normalität. Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Heinz Bude, Ulrich Bröckling, Ève Chiapello, Alain Ehrenberg und Judy Wajcman.

Personal & social issues: self-awareness & self-esteem (Children's/YA)Picture Books about Emotion Management for Boys
by Le Fan, Duan Zhang Qu Yi
There is a pervading idea, both in the east and west, that "big boys don't cry". To reach some cultural ideal of a "real man", boys are too often pushed to be tough and stoic and suppress their emotions. The Picture Books about Emotion Management for Boys challenges this old tradition. Of course boys cry, and we should let them cry! The series contains five books. I Want to Cry encourages boys to express their vulnerable feelings in appropriate ways. I Don't Want to Hit Back encourages boys to follow their hearts and stick up for themselves in the way they like. I am a Coward talks about self-acceptance. I Don't Want to be a Big Brother is for boys experiencing issues with new siblings. I Didn't Hear You talks about protecting boys' own little worlds. All five stories came from author Le Fan's real experiences of raising two sons as a mother. While the books are certainly children's books, they could even be viewed as parent handbooks of sorts. The author has written their parents and other adults in little boys' eyes, and calls for parents and society to raise boys differently and understandingly so they can grow in positive, healthy ways.

Personal & social issues: self-awareness & self-esteem (Children's/YA)Picture Books about Emotion Management for Girls
by Le Fan, Liu Chanjuan, Liu Jiaxi
While growing up, girls are more likely than boys to receive contradictory expectations from different aspects of their lives: parents, teachers, peers, society, and themselves. They could be rebellious but at the same time remain "good girls". They could express anger against bullies at school while simultaneously meeting teachers' expectations of nonaggressive behavior. They could be powerful and competitive at the same time that they worry about being considered "unfeminine". Girls struggle with these conflicting messages in their everyday lives, trying to please all these other people and losing track of themselves. Writer Le Fan, who has experienced the same contradictions as growing up, hopes that girls could love themselves, put themselves first a little more. So here comes the Picture Books about Emotion Management for Girls. The series contains five stories of five courageous little girls who were experiencing confusion in their lives. Little Le Fan in I am not Just a Good Girl tried to find the balance between two sides of herself—a cool girl and a good girl. Xiaoxiao in I love myself learned to be more confident and accepted her new look after her baby teeth fell out. Jiang in I'm so Jealous learned to deal with jealousy towards her best friend. A timid girl Xiao in I can Say No strived to express herself and stop the little boy's bullies. Feng in I Really Want to Win embraced her inner "tomboy" with daddy's encouragement. All the five little girls, though struggling, broke out of cultural and societal stereotypes swirling around them and became their true selves.

August 2006Feldforschung
Erzählungen
by Thomas Meinecke
Wieso schaltete das Ehepaar Richard Gere und Cindy Crawford eine ganzseitige Anzeige in der Times, um klarzustellen, daß ihr gegenseitiges Verlangen heterosexueller Natur ist? War Patti Smith wirklich mit Robert Mapplethorpe verheiratet? Ist es Zufall, daß die Stonewall Riots 1969 nach der Beerdigung von Judy Garland begannen? War der erste AIDS-Tote, der sogenannte Patient Zero, tatsächlich ein Flugbegleiter? Warum eröffnete Ronald Gay im September 2000 das Feuer auf die Gäste einer Gay Bar in Roanoke, Virginia? Die Erzählungen von Thomas Meinecke speisen sich aus Gerüchten, Zeitungsmeldungen und Abhandlungen verschiedenster Provenienz und befassen sich mit historischen Kippmomenten der sexuellen Kulturen. Sie bilden, angeregt durch den Kurator Frank Wagner, den narrativen Beitrag zur im August 2006 eröffneten Ausstellung »Das achte Feld. Geschlechter, Leben und Begehren in der Kunst seit 1960« im Museum Ludwig, Köln.
