November 2023Envy
The secret feeling
by Bettina Schulte
Envy is a relationship drama. The other is the thorn in the flesh. The first murder in the Bible is when Cain killed Abel: out of envy. And today, influencers dazzle their followers with their enviable lives. Bettina Schulte's essay spans an arc from the gruelling agony of subjective envy to the question of its legitimate social role. And of course, it's also about jealousy as a form of envy ...

December 2016Unter Menschen
Roman
by Bettina Balàka
Berti heißt auch Fekete, Robert Pattinson, Ricky, Zorro und Bagheera. Er ist das Ergebnis der Liaison eines Jack-Russell-Terriers mit einem Straßenköter. Der übermütige Welpe ruiniert die Geschäfte eines ungarischen Hundehändlers, bricht einer Zwölfjährigen das Herz, weckt die Lebensgeister eines neurotischen Physikers und landet auf der Müllhalde eines Haustiermessies. Überall, wo er hinkommt, hinterlässt er seine Spuren in den Herzen und in den Leben seiner Menschen, die er als kleiner Schatten ihres Glücks und Unglücks begleitet. Bettina Balàka erzählt in ihrem Roman nicht nur die Geschichte eines Hundelebens: Unter Menschen ist zugleich ein Reigen zwischenmenschlicher Tragödien und Komödien – grandios komponiert, ironisch und unterhaltsam, voll überraschendem Witz und geistreicher Erkenntnis.

SEX CULTURE
What is sex? Or: why don't we just let it be?
by Bettina Stangneth
Above all else, and despite all the enlightenment of the age, sex in the 21st century seems to be a problem. Abuse, MeToo, human trafficking, circumcision, role-playing, body cult... But if sex is a mere abyss for modern humans, then why not just let it be? We are the first generation that could actually do it without endangering the survival of the species. And voices are getting louder that once again call for abstinence in a supposedly over-sexualised society. Artificial insemination and artificially intelligent technology for the safe removal of instincts should finally pacify what humans cannot control: instinctive nature. Sex is not the epitome of our animal nature. Every attempt to control the animal in us, either by taming it or by freeing it from tamers in a sexual revolution, inevitably misses the point. Bettina Stangneth asks the quite simple question: what is sex? If every culture of prohibition has failed so far, clearer ideas are obviously needed. Even if we prefer to ignore it, attempts to establish a culture through desire instead of the cultivation of desire have been around for a long time. After all, if you don't want to learn to talk positively about sex, you can't talk meaningfully about coercion and violence.

The ArtsSeptember 2024Cases of citation
On literature in art
by Chloe Julius, Michael Green, Matthew Holman
Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards. Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular 'case of citation', the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists - including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski - whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can 'read' textual citations in art.
