        "Chantal Akerman: Der UmzugWenn eine Person umzieht, wird möglicherweise auch eine Liebe verlassen oder eine neue gefunden. Chantal Akerman hat einen Monolog über die Topographie der Liebe geschrieben.Oliver Bukowski: Inszenierung eines KussesDie Personen: A Der Professor, B Ein Schöngeist und Philosoph und C einfach nur der ›Trieb‹, oder sagen wir es gerade heraus, die drei sind Stadtstreicher, Penner; und da ist Lisa, die 33jährige, attraktive Erfolgsfrau, wie geht das zusammen?Dirk Dobbrow: DivaNäherte man sich diesem Stück allein thematisch — Aids, Prostitution, Mord —, man würde ihm nicht gerecht, denn auch die Verzweiflung hat noch ihre Poesie: »Die Menschen sind Engel und leben im Himmel.«Tankred Dorst: Die Geschichte der PfeileIst im Theater Authentizität möglich, inwieweit ist es Täuschung und Lüge?

        Development, architecture, and the formation of heritage in late twentieth-century Iran

        A vital past

        by Ali Mozaffari, Nigel Westbrook

        This book analyses the use of the past and the production of heritage through architectural design in the developmental context of Iran, a country that has endured radical cultural and political shifts in the past five decades. Offering a trans-disciplinary approach toward complex relationship between architecture, development, and heritage, Mozaffari and Westbrook suggest that transformations in developmental contexts like Iran must be seen in relation to global political and historical exchanges, as well as the specificities of localities. The premise of the book is that development has been a globalizing project that originated in the West. Transposed into other contexts, this project instigates a renewed historical consciousness and imagination of the past. The authors explore the rise of this consciousness in architecture, examining the theoretical context to the debates, international exchanges made in architectural congresses in the 1970s, the use of housing as the vehicle for everyday heritage, and forms of symbolic public architecture that reflect monumental time.

        Der brennende Geschmack der Freiheit

        Mein Leben als junger Mullah im Iran

        by Reza Hajatpour

        In eindringlicher und zugleich poetischer Sprache beschreibt Hajatpour die Konflikte, die ihn als jungen Mullah mit fast unlösbaren Fragen an den Islam konfrontieren und sein Vertrauen gegenüber Familie und Freunden erschüttern. Seine Autobiographie eröffnet einen faszinierenden Einblick in das Leben und den Alltag eines Geistlichen unter der absolutistischen Herrschaft Khomeinis – in eine Gesellschaft, in der Religiosität unentwegt mit Politik verbunden ist.

        Hatless

        by Lateefa Buti / Illustrated by Doha Al Khteeb

        Kuwaiti children’s book author Lateefa Buti’s well-crafted and beautifully illustrated children’s book, Hatless, encourages children (ages 6-9) to think independently and challenge rigid traditions and fixed rituals with innovation and creativity.   The main character is a young girl named Hatless who lives in the City of Hats. Here, all of the people are born with hats that cover their heads and faces. The world inside of their hats is dark, silent, and odorless.   Hatless feels trapped underneath her own hat. She wants to take off her hat, but she is afraid, until she realizes that whatever frightening things exist in the world around her are there whether or not she takes off her hat to see them.   So Hatless removes her hat.    As Hatless takes in the beauty of her surroundings, she cannot help but talk about what she sees, hears, and smells. The other inhabitants of the city ostracize her because she has become different from them. It is not long before they ask her to leave the City of Hats.   Rather than giving up or getting angry, Hatless feels sad for her friends and neighbors who are afraid to experience the world outside of their hats. She comes up with an ingenious solution: if given another chance, she will wear a hat as long it is one she makes herself. The people of the City of Hats agree, so Hatless weaves a hat that covers her head and face but does not prevent her from seeing the outside world. She offers to loan the hat to the other inhabitants of the city. One by one, they try it on and are enchanted by the beautiful world around them. Since then, no child has been born wearing a hat. The people celebrate by tossing their old hats in the air.   By bravely embracing these values, Hatless improves her own life and the lives of her fellow citizens.     Buti’s language is eloquent and clear. She strikes a skilled narrative balance between revealing Hatless’s inner thoughts and letting the story unfold through her interactions with other characters. Careful descriptions are accompanied by beautiful illustrations that reward multiple readings of the book.
