        Die Fiktion der wahrscheinlichen Realität

        by Elena Esposito, Nicole Reinhardt

        In ihrem neuen Buch geht die italienische Soziologin Elena Esposito von der Parallelität zwischen der modernen fiction und der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie aus, die sich beide Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts entwickelt haben. Grundthese des Buches ist, daß es sich in beiden Fällen um moderne Formen der Realitätsverdopplung handelt, die auf Veränderungen der Gesellschaft reagieren. Die fiction entwickelt sich als explizit erfundene, alternative Realität, die dennoch zum Verstehen und zur Erfahrung aller Mitglieder der Gesellschaft beiträgt. Wahrscheinlichkeit und Statistik hingegen sind auf die gegenwärtige Zukunft bezogene Fiktionen, die es erlauben, in der Gegenwart Entscheidungen zu treffen, aus denen künftige Gegenwarten entstehen – die dann andere sein werden, als man vorher dachte. Elena Esposito lehrt Soziologie an der Universität Modena e Reggio Emilia.

        I feel guilty when I throw away food. Grandma used to tell me about Holodomor (Famine of 1933)

        by Andrii Dostliev, Lia Dostlieva, introduction by Serhiy Zhadan

        Post-photographic research, which explores traces of a traumatic historical event in everyday practices and in contemporary landscape and tests the limits of photography as a medium in trauma representation. The starting point of this project was the personal sense of guilt which accompanies the acts of throwing food away. This feeling is common in contemporary Ukrainian culture and originates in our postmemory - it was imprinted into our generation’s behavioral patterns by the stories of our grandparents - survivors of the man-made famine of 1932-33 in Soviet Ukraine called the Holodomor, which killed millions. The ink prints document the thrown-away food while fragments of found black-and-white photographs of unrecognisable landscapes demonstrate the lack of the famine’s traces in the landscape – unlike many collective traumas which have exact geographic locations and present in the landscape in the form of ‘places of memory’.

        This series contains about 1,800 modern prints collected by Lu Xun at that time, which authored by nearly 200 domestic printmakers and currently in the Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shanghai and the Lu Xun Museum in Beijing. It is showcasing the glorious history of modern Chinese woodcut art: In the 1920s and 1930s, in order to guide the artistic direction of Chinese literary youth, smashed the KMT’s counter-revolutionary cultural " encirclement and suppression", Mr. Lu Xun held a "woodcut workshop" in Shanghai, and cultivated a group of emerging woodcut backbone. These backbones led young artists in various regions of the country to create a large number of realistic works reflecting the suffering and tragic fate of the people at the bottom of the society at that time. They cruelly lashed the dark reality of society and called for national salvation and survival. These young woodcutters sent their woodcut works to Lu Xun, who not only guided their creation personally, but also spared no effort to collect, publicize and promote them to the public. With the active advocacy and support of Mr. Lu Xun, the emerging woodcut movement in China has developed vigorously, driving the modernization of Chinese art and leaving an indelible glorious footprint in the history of Chinese modern culture and art. This complete collection is a companion to the The Complete Collection of Foreign Prints by Lu Xun published in 2014.

        Roman. Aus dem Italienischen von Burkhart Kroeber

        Roberto Cotroneo wurde 1961 in der norditalienischen Stadt Alessandria geboren. Er studierte Philosophie und einige Jahre Klavier.

        by Edited by Paul Van Mele, A Salahuddin, Noel P Magor

        During the past five years, the PETRRA (Poverty Elimination Through Rice Research Assistance) project has explored the development of innovative extension mechanisms through a learning-by-doing process with multiple service providers.
