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.

Humanities & Social Sciences8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS
The Defining Issue of the 21st Century
by Valorie M. Allen
The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840
by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.
