Short stories2021Sweets for the Medor
by Andriy Bondar
Sweets for the Medor is a collection of essays by Andriy Bondar written between 2017 and 2020. Essay writing here is a way to explore and rethink the world through one’s system of values and experience. Honesty here is intertwined with intellectual reflection. Deeper meanings and sometimes unexpected conclusions hide behind the form of short prose. Voids can be filled, and the definition of "falling from the height of one's own body" can refer not only to bodily injury, but also to a moral fall, which always occurs from the height of one's own ethical structures, and losses can later turn into gains, you just need to look at them from a different angle.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)2018Cerebro
by Andriy Bondar
Cerebro, a new collection of short prose by Andrii Bodnar, introduces readers to the strange world of small human adventures. Random meetings and everyday situations that can happen to anyone start you thinking, making decisions and acting. It is a peculiarity of these texts that some of them are copied from real life experience, while others, completely fictitious, are macabre and phantasmagorical. The collection is compiled to start with completely realistic texts, but with each subsequent text this realism is extinguishing or gains new features. There are biographical texts, and then the usual reality departs and the reality of parable appears. The book is a path from realism to phantasmagoria and the sphere of magic. Compositionally it is a path from the real to the unreal world, culminating in a parable about what awaits us at the end of life.

May 2007Die Gabe der Seele
Geschichte eines Kindsmords
by Adriano Prosperi, Joachim Schulte
Bologna, 5. Dezember 1709: Lucia Cremonini bringt in den frühen Morgenstunden ein Kind zur Welt, das kurz nach der Geburt unter zunächst ungeklärten Umständen stirbt. Die Behörden beginnen zu ermitteln, der Verdacht auf Kindsmord bestätigt sich. Ein typischer Justizfall der frühen Neuzeit nimmt seinen Lauf. Adriano Prosperi rekonstruiert anhand der originalen Prozeßakten den Fall der Lucia Cremonini als das Drama einer unverheirateten jungen Frau am Rande der Gesellschaft. Aber es geht in diesem spannenden Buch nicht nur um ein individuelles Schicksal, sondern auch um die Frage, wie sich der Umgang mit dem Delikt des Kindsmordes und seine Bewertung durch Juristen, Theologen und Mediziner im Laufe der Zeit verändert haben. Denn während in der Antike Kindstötung und Abtreibung als Instrument zur Bevölkerungsregulierung akzeptiert waren und noch im Mittelalter als läßliche Sünde behandelt wurden, kam es im 17. Jahrhundert zu einem Einstellungswandel, der bis heute fortwirkt. Von nun an, so Prosperi, geriet die Furcht vor dem Kindsmord zur Obsession, Abtreibung und Kindstötung wurden zunehmend genauer definiert und das ungeborene und neugeborene Leben zu einer Sache staatlicher Kontrolle. Mit detektivischem Spürsinn und großer erzählerischer Kraft erschließt Prosperi ein bisher kaum beachtetes Kapitel europäischer Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte. Er läßt uns an der Entwicklung eines Diskurses teilhaben, der bis heute von ungebrochener Aktualität ist und dessen zentrale Frage nach wie vor lautet: Wie definiert die westliche Tradition den Beginn des Lebens?

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2020Race talk
Languages of racism and resistance in Neapolitan street markets
by Antonia Lucia Dawes
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. Race talk is about language use as an anti-racist practice in multicultural city spaces. The book contends that attention to talk reveals the relations of domination and subordination in heterogeneous, ethnically diverse and multilingual contexts, while also helping us to understand how transcultural solidarity might be expressed. Drawing on original ethnographic research conducted on licensed and unlicensed market stalls in in heterogeneous, ethnically diverse and multilingual contexts, this book examines the centrality of multilingual talk to everyday struggles about difference, positionality and entitlement. In these street markets, Neapolitan street vendors work alongside documented and undocumented migrants from Bangladesh, China, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal as part of an ambivalent, cooperative and unequal quest to survive and prosper. As austerity, anti-immigration politics and urban regeneration projects encroached upon the possibilities of street vending, talk across linguistic, cultural, national and religious boundaries underpinned the collective action of street vendors struggling to keep their markets open. The edginess of their multilingual organisation offered useful insights into the kinds of imaginaries that will be needed to overcome the politics of borders, nationalism and radical incommunicability.
