        STREETS OF YOUTH

        by André Kubiczek

        René, the protagonist from Kubiczek’s successful novel A Sketch of Summer, whom we meet again in this story, is sent to a boarding school in Halle an der Saale at the end of summer 1985. The school offers a few select students the opportunity to attend university in Moscow after graduation. Despite the chance to swap the provinces for the sister state, René remains unimpressed: "Who jumps for joy at the chance to study the communist system?" Or perhaps not unimpressed, but captivated by other things, as boarding school means being away from your parents. Having girls close by. Lots of prohibitions. Prohibitions are really fun. And: "280 German marks bursary, just like that, for doing nothing. Whichever way you look at it, it’s a win."

        by Peter-René Becker

        From insects to fish as well as birds and primates: the use of tools is amazingly widespread in the animal kingdom. It’s a misnomer to presume that humans are distinguished by tool use and conscious capacity. So where is culture initiated? The biologist Peter-René Becker has evaluated numerous studies and cites plenty of evidence for the use of the hammer and anvil, lances, bait or sponges. Animals also use “tools as social implements”. Ultimately, the depth of man’s conscience singles him out from other animals.

        René Magritte

        Beyond painting

        by Patricia Allmer

        René Magritte: Beyond painting offers a rethinking of Magritte's art from a position informed by contemporary developments in art theory. The book employs a wide range of literary and philosophical/cultural theoretical frameworks to analyse Magritte's art. It offers close readings of specific images, paying attention to neglected aspects of Magritte's work, discussing the significance of cabinets of curiosities and encyclopaedias, trompe l'oeil, framing and forgeries. It addresses a range of intertextual relations between Magritte's work and that of other Surrealist artists and the art-historical tradition. This book explores how Magritte's art challenges conventional notions of originality, canonicity and coherence, revealing his work as being shaped by co-operations and co-options. It demonstrates that uncertainty, incoherence and negation lie at the core of Magritte's oeuvre. ;
