        Kibla – Reisen in die Welt des Islams

        by Juan Goytisolo, Christian Hansen, Thomas Brovot

        Juan Goytisolo ist ein Reisender zwischen den Welten. Der Umstand, daß der gebürtige Spanier abwechselnd in Paris und in Marrakesch lebt, prädestiniert ihn zum Mittler zwischen Orient und Okzident. Seine ebenso sachkundigen wie einfühlsamen Essays und Reportagen tragen dazu bei, die Stereotypen und Klischees zu korrigieren, die bis heute das Bild des Islam im Westen prägen, und beleuchten eine Wirklichkeit jenseits der Legenden, die seit Jahrhunderten den Blick des Abendlands auf das Morgenland verstellen. Goytisolo, der die Welt des Islams zwischen Tanger, Timbuktu und Samarkand bereist hat, fordert uns auf, eine faszinierend vielseitige und lebendige Kultur zu entdecken, deren reiches Erbe vielerorts Gefahr läuft, von der wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Globalisierung überrollt zu werden. Seine Themen reichen von der Geschichte der Muslime in der sich auflösenden Sowjetunion über türkische Busbahnhöfe, die jemenitische Architektur und den Islam in Schwarzafrika bis hin zum Treiben der Gaukler auf dem Djemaa el-Fna in Marrakesch. Dabei versäumt es Goytisolo nicht, auf eine gefährliche Alternative hinzuweisen, die heute für viele muslimische Länder zu einem Teufelskreis zu werden droht: die Alternative, sich zwischen einer die Identität verbürgenden Tradition und Notwendigkeit des Wandels entscheiden zu müssen.

        Lob der Zärtlichkeit

        Eine Stilistik der Liebe

        by Otto F. Best

        Als »Eigenliebe zu zweit«, wie spitzzüngig Madame de Staël sie nennt, gehört Liebe zu den sublimiertesten und fruchtbarsten Formen kosmischer Selbstbejahung. Ein Weltereignis, von dem sich paradoxerweise behaupten läßt, daß es privater nicht sein könnte. Wenn Hegel das »wahrhafte Wesen« der Liebe darin bestehen läßt, »das Bewußtsein seiner selbst zu vergessen, doch in diesem Vergehen und Vergessen sich erst selber zu haben und zu besitzen«, so trifft dieses Wort gewiß aufs schönste die Sach- oder, besser: Gefühlslage. Unerwähnt bleibt indessen, was der intimen, absolut zweigliedrigen Bindung zwischen Mensch und Mensch die »Menschlichkeit« sichert: das reziproke »Volo blande de tangere« in Gedanke, Wort und Gebärde – die Zärtlichkeit.

        Les particuliers de Tanger

        by Santiago de Luca

        Il existe différents mythes sur la fondation de Tanger. L’auteur de ce libre vient les briser et le réinventer, se risquant une nouvelle légende qui découvre que, à diverses époques de notre passé, pas toujours très inclusives, ceux qu’on appelle ici ‘particuliers’ ont été mis dans un bateau et relâchés vers leur sort dans les eaux de la mer. Il n’est pas difficile d’imaginer qu’un de ces bateaux qui transportaient tant de singularités ait fait naufrage et ait réussi à rejoindre Tanger, établissant ainsi une lignée et une sorte d’attraction magnétique de la Ville Blanche pour tous ceux qui vivent en dehors des tendances les plus courants.    De la rigueur du style qui ne manque pas d’ironie, Santiago De Luca, sans rechercher la vérité absolue mais plutôt la partie la plus profonde de l’être humain, a créé son propre genre, où chaque histoire racontée est un personnage et le décor dans lequel une singularité se déroule. Avec toute la complicité qu’il éprouve pour les ‘particuliers’, puisqu’il se sent comme l’un d’entre eux, il invite le lecteur à se plonger dans cette mer de personnages: le paresseux, le faux espión, le proche, le porteur de gilet…, sachant qu’ils seront eux.mêmes les personnages, ceux qui placeront finalment le lecteur devant un miroir. Santiago De Luca (Santa Fe, Argentine) est le directeur de la publication littéraire SureS et le responsable de l’espace argentino-maghrébin Jorge Luis Borges, chargé des représentations diplomatiques de la région. Docteur en philologie de l’Université Complutense de Madrid, il a enseigné la littérature dans des universités du Moyen-Orient, d’Afrique, d’Europe et d’Amérique latine. Au cours de sa carrière d’écrivain, il a publié des romans, des essais, des nouvelles et de la poésie.

        Lee

        by Williamson, Beth

        When anger and tenacity collide, sparks are inevitable. Devils on Horseback SeriesBook 4 The Civil War took more than Lee Blackwood’s arm. It took his confidence, his pride…and hope that any woman will see him as more than half a man. His friendships helped keep the demons at bay—until now. As each Devil has found happiness, Lee is left alone to cope with the darkness that claws at his soul. Genevieve Blanchard has only one thing going for her: her no-good late husband’s run-down farm. That, and a fancy name no one can spell might get her a cup full of dirt in Tanger. Room, board and seamstress skills aren’t much, but it’s all she can offer any man willing to help her bring in her wheat crop. Reluctantly Lee takes on the job, the widow’s smart-mouthed daughter and his growing attraction to a woman who stubbornly refuses to see him as anything less than whole. Slowly, his bitterness begins to fade under the light of their blooming love.

        Pro Bernal Anti Bio

        by Ishmael Bernal, Jorge Arago, Angela Stuart-Santiago

        Four years before his death in 1996, National Artist for Film Ishmael Bernal started writing a journal for what he envisioned is a unique biography that would tell all. The goal was an anti-biography that refused to be hagiography or tribute, and instead would be Bernal unexpurgated and uncensored. His biographer was his closest friend and constant collaborator, Jorge Arago, who worked on Pro Bernal Anti Bio until his death in 2011. He then passed the task of completing the book to his friend, Angela Stuart-Santiago. Working towards the goal of a tell-all, and with new research and additional interviews, the final product is a memoir unlike any other in the Philippines. Pro Bernal Anti Bio brings in a cast of actors, scholars, colleagues, and peers who speak from the margins of the book, while Bernal and Arago tell this personal-political history in their own words, sometimes gay, often irreverent, but always revealing an intellect and spirit that was ahead of its time.

        Precision Farming in Horticulture

        by Jitendar Singh,S.K.Jain, L.K.Dashora & B.S. Chundawat:

        Climatic variations often tend to have adverse effect on the yield and production of crops. Efforts have, therefore, been on for harnessing this natural resource through artificial means for increasing crop productivity. One such technology is protected cultivation. This technique is well adopted in Europe and USA and now China and Japan are leading in controlled sphere production of horticultural crops. In India, the technology is making breakthrough in Karnataka and Maharashtra in protected cultivation of pepper, tomato, cucumber, muskmelon, baby corn etc. Precision farming is defined as the cultivation by adopting technologies which give maximum precision in production of a superior crop with a desired yield levels and quality at competitive production. These include use of genetically modified crop varieties, micropropagation, integrated nutrient, water and pest managements, protected cultivation, organic farming, hi-tech horticulture, and post harvest technology. Post-harvest sector needs lot of precision. Peels, rags, etc. go waste. Many times, peels being rich in polyphenols, colouring pigment, nutrients etc are richer in antioxidant than what we actually eat. Here, we need precision. Precision in management, precision in product diversification, precision in value addition are much sought after aspect.
