The life and lessons of a Black woman DJ
by DJ Paulette
In Welcome to the club, Manchester legend DJ Paulette shares the highs, lows and lessons of a thirty-year music career, with help from some famous friends. One of the Haçienda's first female DJs, Paulette has scaled the heights of the music industry, playing to crowds of thousands all around the world, and descended to the lows of being unceremoniously benched by COVID-19, with no chance of furlough and little support from the government. Here she tells her story, offering a remarkable view of the music industry from a Black woman's perspective. Behind the core values of peace, love, unity and respect, dance music is a world of exclusion, misogyny, racism and classism. But, as Paulette reveals, it is also a space bursting at the seams with powerful women. Part personal account, part call to arms, Welcome to the club exposes the exclusivity of the music industry while seeking to do justice to the often invisible women who keep the beat going.

September 2018Am Weltenrand sitzen die Menschen und lachen
Roman
by Philipp Weiss, Raffaela Schöbitz
1000 Seiten, fünf Bände – ein Roman. In Am Weltenrand sitzen die Menschen und lachen erzählt Philipp Weiss von der Verwandlung der Welt im Anthropozän – jener Epoche der Erdgeschichte, in welcher der Mensch zur zentralen gestaltenden Kraft geworden ist. Zwischen Frankreich und Japan, zwischen dem 19. und dem 21. Jahrhundert, in Form von Enzyklopädie, Erzählung, Notizheft, Audiotranskription und Comic entwirft dieser kühne Roman ein Panoptikum unserer fliehenden Wirklichkeit. Die siebzehnjährige Paulette erlebt im Jahr 1871 den Aufstand der Pariser Kommune, bereist als eine der ersten europäischen Frauen das Japan der Meiji-Ära und liegt über hundertdreißig Jahre im Eis der französischen Alpen geborgen. Die Klimaforscherin Chantal, ihre Ururenkelin, folgt ihren Spuren nach Fernost, entwirft eine zynische Geschichte des Universums und entflieht zugleich einer Liebe und deren umstülpender Kraft. Der von ihr zurückgelassene Künstler Jona begibt sich auf die Suche, findet in Japan aber nicht Chantal, sondern eine vielfache Katastrophe: ein Erdbeben, eine Welle, einen Atomunfall. Der neunjährige Akio läuft tagelang durch zerstörtes Gebiet. Trost findet er bei Satoshi, einem obdachlosen Tagelöhner und AKW-Nomaden, der langsam an den Folgen der Strahlung stirbt. Durch einen Phantomschmerz getrieben, irrt die junge Japanerin Abra durch Tokio und verliert sich in den einsamen Schleifen ihres virtualisierten Selbst.

His only companion is the ghost of Dieter Boehm, his Nazi torturer. He leaves behind a war-torn Egypt: a land as unhealthy as its king, Faruk, who is softened by a life of luxury; a country poisoned by the rise of the Muslim Brother, by former Nazis infiltrating its army, pogroms against the Jews and the rebellion lead by the powerful Nasser.Once in France, he shares his obsessions with Aaron, Lucien and Paulette, three people bound by their determination to break with an oppressive past. They treat their former tormentors to the same procedure: two bullets to the head, the first for revenge, the other as a signature.This is the story that Zohar’s son François uncovers. It will help him understand the mysterious promise his father made to the “Society of Fine Folks” – a promise François decides to honour.
