October 2013Letters from Alfonso
by Earl Kessler
Construction, development projects, slum improvement -- rewarding work for Peace Corps volunteer Earl Kessler. But when residents of a Colombian town wiped out by flood took the future into their own hands, his life intersected with that of Alfonso Perez Correa, and he learned lessons in local participation and empowerment that have helped bring success in meeting community needs all over the world.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The divorce of King Lothar and Queen Theutberga
Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio
by Rachel Stone, Charles West
In the mid-ninth century, Francia was rocked by the first royal divorce scandal of the Middle Ages: the attempt by King Lothar II of Lotharingia to rid himself of his queen, Theutberga and remarry. Even 'women in their weaving sheds' were allegedly gossiping about the lurid accusations made. Kings and bishops from neighbouring kingdoms, and several popes, were gradually drawn into a crisis affecting the fate of an entire kingdom. This is the first professionally published translation of a key source for this extraordinary episode: Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims's De divortio Lotharii regis et Theutbergae reginae. This text offers eye-opening insight both on the political wrangling of the time and on early medieval attitudes towards magic, penance, gender, the ordeal, marriage, sodomy, the role of bishops, and kingship.The translation includes a substantial introduction and annotations, putting the case into its early medieval context and explaining Hincmar's sometimes-dubious methods of argument.

September 2008Jungfrau
Roman
by Thomas Meinecke
Läßt sich erotische Annäherung auch im Sinn einer Asymptote vollziehen? Lothar erforscht das gemeinsame Werk des Theologen Hans Urs von Balthasar und seiner legendären Amica, der Ärztin und Mystikerin Adrienne von Speyr. Er glaubt sich einem unglaublichen Liebesdrama auf der Spur. Und Lothar selbst, ein von den Theaterwissenschaften zur katholischen Theologie sowie zu sexueller Enthaltsamkeit konvertierter Student, gerät zunehmend in Gewissenskonflikte mit seiner hoch und heilig gelobten Haltung: Das Charisma der Klavierspielerin Mary Lou stellt ihn vor Versuchung und Versagung. Wie in Tomboy entwickelt das Diskursnetz in Jungfrau ein burleskes Eigenleben. Hollywoods B-Film-Ikone Maria Montez sowie ihr Wiedergänger Mario Montez sind darin ebenso verstrickt wie Clemens Brentano, der jahrelang Visionen einer stigmatisierten Nonne protokollierte, Ronald Tavel, Begründer des Theatre of the Ridiculous, der Camp-Filmer Jack Smith oder die Jazzpianistin Jutta Hipp. Thomas Meinecke ist mit einem popistischen Zugang zum Katholischen gesegnet. In seinem neuen Roman begibt er sich auf extravagante Pfade des Glaubens: Polyphon geht es que(e)r durch die Jahrhunderte, campy und kinky.
