        Títeres trashumantes (Transhumant puppets)

        by Mario Martín del Campo, Silvia Eugenia Castillero

        In the stretch of emptyness where no one dwells, changing beings are born as drops, as enigmas, as suspension points... They take a little bit of light and then steal shade from darkness. Thus these puppets grow strong, stealthy, and alive in the multiple sceneries of their theatre.

        A history of humanitarianism, 1755–1989

        In the name of others

        by Silvia Salvatici

        The book traces the history of international humanitarianism from the anti-slavery movement to the end of the cold war. It is based on an extensive survey of the international literature and is retold in an original narrative that relies on a close examination of the sources. The reconstruction of humanitarianism's long history unfolds around some crucial moments and events: the colonial expansion of European countries, the two world wars and their aftermaths, the emergence of a new postcolonial order. In terms of its contents, narrative style, interpretative approach the book is aimed at a large and diverse public including: scholars who are studying and teaching humanitarianism; students who need to learn about humanitarianism as part of their training or research; operators and volunteers who are engaged in the field; non-specialist readers who are interested in the topic because of its relevance to current events.

        Geschichten zum Gesundwerden

        by Matthias Reiner

        Ihren Arzt oder Apotheker brauchen Sie nicht zu fragen, wenn Sie dieses Buch im Krankenzimmer zu den Medikamenten und der Schale mit dem Obst legen: Die Dosierung ist nicht festgelegt, die Einnahme muss nicht regelmäßig erfolgen. Nebenwirkungen sind erwünscht, und den Beipackzettel mit den Genesungswünschen können Sie selbst verfassen. Die ausnahmslos natürlichen Heilmittel (Lebenserinnerungen, Gedichte, Geschichten) werden von Axel Hacke, Luis Buñuel, Theodor Fontane, Silvia Bovenschen und vielen anderen verabreicht: Placeboeffekte nicht ausgeschlossen. »Mein Körper rät mir: / Ruh dich aus! / Ich sage: Mach ich, / Altes Haus! / Denk aber: Ach, der / Sieht's ja nicht! / Und schreibe heimlich / Dies Gedicht.«
