January 2021Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern
Roman
by Camila Sosa Villada
Hass verjagt Camila von zu Hause. Sie geht in die Stadt, auf der Suche nach einem Ort, an dem sie feiern kann, was sie ist: trans. Sie trifft ihresgleichen, wird Teil einer Wahlfamilie aus Prostituierten und Marginalisierten. Und gemeinsam feiern sie: die Liebe, den Rausch, im Widerstand gegen eine Gesellschaft, die sie verachtet. Lebensgeschichte, Roman, Märchen, Manifest – Im Park der prächtigen Schwestern erzählt von der Freude am Leben gegen alle Widerstände, von Zugehörigkeit, von Befreiung und der alles entscheidenden Macht der Fantasie. Tief in der argentinischen Provinz ist es gefährlich, anders zu sein. Wer sich nicht einordnet, bekommt schnell Gewalt zu spüren, zuallererst vom eigenen Vater. Bei Camila war das nicht anders und es blieb nur die Flucht, nach Córdoba in die Anonymität der Stadt. Doch Camila will kein Opfer sein, sich nicht vorschreiben lassen, wo ihr Platz in der Gesellschaft ist. Im Park Sarmiento begegnet sie eines Nachts einer Schar Gleichgesinnter, schillernde Paradiesvögel, mit denen Camila fortan alles teilt: den Schnaps, die Träume, die Freier, Drogen und Demütigungen. Sie werden zu Schwestern in einem Märchen, zu Verbündeten im scheinbar aussichtslosen Kampf um Selbstbestimmung und Lebensfreude als Transsexuelle in Lateinamerika.

Bearing Witness
by Vinita Ramani, Griselda Gabriele
Suffering from postpartum depression after the birth of her first child, a 42-year old musters up the courage to try for another baby. Struggling through two trimesters of nausea, exhaustion and recurrent, intense dreams, she hopes to hit the 20-week milestone and see light at the end of the tunnel, only to discover during the routine ultrasound scan, that her baby has passed away. She is hospitalised to induce labour, and give birth to her little 20-week old son. And so begins a surreal life on the other side of loss, where grief and ecstasy are often bedfellows, tears come from nowhere, other people’s babies become the objects of intense affection and where the baby that never came to be, shows up in stars, stones, seeds and her toddler’s imagination.

History of Art / Art & Design StylesJuly 2015Porous boundaries
Art and essays
by Edited by David Peters Corbett, Cyril Reade
This innovative and exciting volume celebrates the career of Janet Wolff: a highly influential voice in the literature of sociology, cultural studies, visual studies and art history, as well as dance and modernism for several decades. Her work has significantly contributed to the way we view issues as diverse as modernism, the flâneur, British and American art in the early twentieth century, and the gendered literature of modernity. The volume contains contributions from a number of Janet Wolff's collaborators and others who are associated with the fields in which she has worked, including Zygmunt Bauman, Walid Raad and Griselda Pollock. The book includes original artworks, memoir and essays inspired by her example and which deal with questions she has discussed. The book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in any of these disciplines, as well as those interested by the form of a transatlantic academic career.
