        Klar, dass Mama Ole lieber hat / Klar, dass Mama Anna lieber hat

        by Kirsten Boie, Silke Brix

        "Klar, dass Mama Anna/Ole lieber hat" von Kirsten Boie beleuchtet humorvoll und einfühlsam die alltäglichen Streitigkeiten und Rivalitäten zwischen Geschwistern aus beiden Perspektiven. Anna, fast sieben Jahre alt und Erstklässlerin, ist genervt von ihrem kleinen Bruder Ole, der noch nicht einmal vier ist und gerade erst in den Kindergarten gekommen ist. Sie empfindet ihn als ständige Quelle der Irritation, sei es durch das Essen ihrer Schokolade aus dem Adventskalender oder sein Drängen, bei ihren Spielen mitmachen zu dürfen, wobei sie glaubt, dass ihre Mutter stets Oles Seite ergreift. Ole hingegen fühlt sich von Anna ausgeschlossen, bekommt nie etwas von ihren Süßigkeiten ab und wird von der Mutter geschimpft, wenn er aus Frustration handgreiflich wird, sodass er überzeugt ist, dass seine Mutter Anna bevorzugt. Trotz dieser Konflikte zeigt Boie, dass Geschwister in Momenten der Angst und Unsicherheit auch Trost und Sicherheit im Beisammensein finden können, etwa wenn in der Dunkelheit "gefährliche Räuber" lauern, was die komplexe und letztlich liebevolle Beziehung zwischen Geschwistern unterstreicht. Fängt die realistischen Spannungen und Rivalitäten zwischen Geschwistern ein, wodurch es sich besonders für Familien mit mehreren Kindern eignet. Kirsten Boie beschreibt mit Humor und Verständnis die täglichen Herausforderungen im Geschwisteralltag, was das Buch sowohl amüsant als auch lehrreich macht. Beleuchtet die Geschichte aus beiden Blickwinkeln der Geschwister, wodurch Kinder lernen, Empathie für die Gefühle und Sichtweisen anderer zu entwickeln. Ideal für Geschwisterkinder, um Eifersucht zu thematisieren und den Liebesverlust der Eltern aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu verstehen. Auch nach mehrmaligem Vorlesen bleibt die Geschichte interessant für Kinder und Erwachsene, dank der lebhaften Sprache und der detailreichen Handlungen. Für Kinder ab 4 Jahren ansprechend illustriert von Silke Brix.

        Unburied

        The true story of Hannah Beswick, the Manchester Mummy

        by Hannah Priest

        The macabre tale of an eighteenth-century woman immortalised in folklore as the 'Manchester Mummy'. In 1835, the Manchester Natural History Society opened the doors of its museum. Taking pride of place in its collection were three mummies: one was Egyptian, one was Peruvian and one was a woman from Cheetham Hill. This is the first time the true story of Hannah Beswick, the so-called 'Manchester Mummy', has been told. Over the years, explanations for the Manchester Mummy have ranged from the chilling - Hannah's fear of being buried alive - to the downright bizarre - the legend of her buried gold - but the truth is more complex. Exploring this fascinating episode from museum history, Unburied sheds light on the Victorian turn to the macabre and changing attitudes to the display of human remains. It debunks the legends and asks what Hannah Beswick can tell us about death and dying, mummies and museums.

        There is no soundtrack

        Rethinking art, media, and the audio-visual contract

        by Ming-Yuen S. Ma

        There is no soundtrack is a study of how sound and image produce meaning in contemporary experimental media art by artists ranging from Chantal Akerman to Nam June Paik to Tanya Tagaq. It contextualises these works and artists through key ideas in sound studies: voice, noise, listening, the soundscape and more. The book argues that experimental media art produces radical and new audio-visual relationships challenging the visually dominated discourses in art, media and the human sciences. In addition to directly addressing what Jonathan Sterne calls 'visual hegemony', it also explores the lack of diversity within sound studies by focusing on practitioners from transnational and diverse backgrounds. As such, it contributes to a growing interdisciplinary scholarship, building new, more complex and reverberating frameworks to collectively sonify the study of culture.
