April 2013Die Gute Gesellschaft
Soziale und demokratische Politik im 21. Jahrhundert
by Christian Kellermann, Henning Meyer
Als Ferdinand Lassalle im Mai 1863 den Allgemeinen Deutschen Arbeiterverein gründete, tat er dies noch in einer anderen Welt. 150 Jahre später kann die deutsche Sozialdemokratie große Erfolge vorweisen. Angesichts der Globalisierung, Individualisierung und des Wandels der Arbeitswelt steht sie jedoch vor komplexen Herausforderungen, für die sie überzeugende Antworten entwickeln muss. In diesem Band denken kluge Köpfe aus Wissenschaft und Politik darüber nach, wie eine »Gute Gesellschaft« heute aussehen könnte und auf welchen Wegen sie sich realisieren lässt. Mit Beiträgen von Sebastian Dullien, Colin Crouch, Andrea Nahles, Julian Nida-Rümelin, Gesine Schwan u. v. a.

Picture booksThe Lilac Girl
by Ibtisam Barakat (author), Sinan Hallak (illustrator)
Inspired by the life story of Palestinian artist, Tamam Al-Akhal, The Lilac Girl is the sixth book for younger readers by award-winning author, Ibtisam Barakat. The Lilac Girl is a beautifully illustrated short story relating the departure of Palestinian artist and educator, Tamam Al-Akhal, from her homeland, Jaffa. It portrays Tamam as a young girl who dreams about returning to her home, which she has been away from for 70 years, since the Palestinian exodus. Tamam discovers that she is talented in drawing, so she uses her imagination to draw her house in her mind. She decides one night to visit it, only to find another girl there, who won’t allow her inside and shuts the door in her face. Engulfed in sadness, Tamam sits outside and starts drawing her house on a piece of paper. As she does so, she notices that the colors of her house have escaped and followed her; the girl attempts to return the colors but in vain. Soon the house becomes pale and dull, like the nondescript hues of bare trees in the winter. Upon Tamam’s departure, she leaves the entire place drenched in the color of lilac. As a children’s story, The Lilac Girl works on multiple levels, educating with its heart-rending narrative but without preaching, accurately expressing the way Palestinians must have felt by not being allowed to return to their homeland. As the story’s central character, Tamam succeeds on certain levels in defeating the occupying forces and intruders through her yearning, which is made manifest through the power of imaginary artistic expression. In her mind she draws and paints a picture of hope, with colors escaping the physical realm of her former family abode, showing that they belong, not to the invaders, but the rightful occupiers of that dwelling. Far from being the only person to have lost their home and endured tremendous suffering, Tamam’s plight is representative of millions of people both then and now, emphasizing the notion that memories of our homeland live with us for eternity, no matter how far we are from them in a physical sense. The yearning to return home never subsides, never lessens with the passing of time but, with artistic expression, it is possible to find freedom and create beauty out of pain.

November 2000Yann Andréa Steiner
by Marguerite Duras, Andrea Spingler
Sommer 1980. Die Geschichte »zwischen dem sehr jungen Yann Andréa Steiner und dieser Frau, die Bücher machte und die alt war und allein wie er« beginnt in Trouville. Behutsam skizziert Duras die aufkeimende Liebe, die den Tod von Anfang an in sich birgt. Parallel dazu erzählt sie von der unmöglichen Liebe zwischen dem kleinen Samuel Steiner und seiner Betreuerin Johanna Goldberg. Samuels Schwester wurde von den Nazis ermordet, seine Eltern deportiert. Yann Andréa wird zu Yann Andréa Steiner, und nicht allein der gemeinsame Name drückt die mythische Verwandtschaft zu Samuel, dem ebenfalls viel jüngeren Geliebten, aus. Duras' Erzählung von ihrer Liebe und der Angst darum schreitet mit dem Rhythmus der Wellen, des Windes und des Regens fort. Die Gespräche mit Yann führen zu einer weiteren Figur: Theodora Kats, eine in den Konzentrationslagern umgekommene junge Frau, deren Geschichte Duras nie hat aufschreiben können. Mir unbeschreiblicher Sogwirkung verknüpft die Duras Fiktion und Realität und macht aus »Yann Andréa Steiner« eine literarische Liebeserklärung an den langjährigen Gefährten.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2010Photography and memory in Mexico
Icons of Revolution
by Andrea Noble
Photography and memory in Mexico traces the 'life stories' of some of the famous photographic images made during the 1910 revolution, which have been repeatedly reproduced across a range of media in its aftermath. Which photographs have become icons of the revolution and why these particular images and not others? What is the relationship between photography and memory of the conflict? How do we construct a critical framework for addressing the issues raised by iconic photographs? Placing an emphasis on the life, afterlife and also the pre-life of those iconic photographs that haunt the post-revolutionary landscape, Andrea Noble approaches them as dynamic objects, where their rhetorical power is derived from a combination of their visual eloquence and their ability to coordinate patterns of identification with the memory of the revolution as a foundational event in Mexican history. Richly-illustrated, this book will be of interest to all those interested in photography, memory studies, and Mexican cultural history. ;

Über das Warten
by Andrea Köhler
In unendlich vielen Formen sind wir dem Warten ausgeliefert: Man wartet auf andere, auf eine Antwort, auf den Richtigen, auf den Befund, auf eine Nachricht, auf das Ende der Schmerzen, auf die Sportergebnisse, auf das Ende des Regens, auf den nächsten Tag, auf die Geburt des Kindes ... Andrea Köhler beobachtet und beschreibt, welche Tücken, Glücksmomente oder Überraschungen in Situationen des Wartens, der Pause und der Langsamkeit stecken. Sie verschafft dem Warten einen Raum, der so viel reicher und weiter ist als der, den ihm die Notwendigkeit beimißt.

The roots of lights
by Andrea Beaudoin Valenzuela
A grandfather and his granddaughter start a road trip to participate in a collector's contest. It is the time in Colombia when electricity rationing and miraculous fishing reign. With fantasy and humor, the grandfather defends his granddaughter from precariousness and abandonment. When the roles of care are reversed, the granddaughter must create new ways of sustaining the house, the body and the memory. Andrea Beaudoin constructs a two-part story to imagine with overwhelming prose the unconventional ways in which we build family. // “People, like the stars, have different forces of gravity. Ana thinks about whether hers will still be growing or will have reached its final size. Leo, over the years, has become magnetic. Around him things float and collapse like everyday meteorites. A limitless force grows in concentric circles, absorbing everything in its path”.

Zum Begriff vernünftiger Erkenntnisfähigkeiten
by Andrea Kern
Wie soll man verstehen, daß jemand, der sich irren kann, gleichwohl etwas wissen kann? Dieses Problem, so die zentrale These dieses Buches, läßt sich nicht lösen, solange man an dem Dogma der Erkenntnistheorie festhält, wonach der Wissensbegriff eine analytische Einheit von Elementen bedeutet, deren Begriffe grundlegender sind als der Begriff des Wissens selbst. Andrea Kern entwirft einen alternativen Wissensbegriff, in dessen Zentrum ein anhand von Aristoteles, Kant und Wittgenstein systematisch entwickelter Begriff der vernünftigen Fähigkeit steht. Wird Wissen als ein Akt vernünftiger Erkenntnisfähigkeit in diesem Sinne verstanden, die ein denkendes Subjekt als solches besitzt, läßt sich auch erklären, wie man sich irren und doch etwas wissen kann.

Naermyth
by Karen Francisco (author and illustrator)
Set in a post-apocalyptic Philippines, Naermyth tells of a world plagued by the monsters of myth and legends who have stepped out of their storybook shadows to assume world dominion. They are the Naermyth (a word play on “never myth”) and have forced the human race close to extinction and fodder for the growing supremacy of these creatures. Among the survivors is Aegis, a seasoned soldier, and her story takes a dark turn when she rescues a stranger with mysterious abilities. Clearly, he is not human, and saving him triggers a series of revelations that challenges the meanings of monstrosity, heroism and family.
