October 2017Kindheit
by Nathalie Sarraute, Elmar Tophoven
Natalja wächst unmittelbar vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg in Russland auf. Nach der frühen Trennung ihrer Eltern zieht sie mit der Mutter nach Paris – aus Natalja wird Nathalie. Als sie später die Ferien bei ihrem Vater und der eifersüchtigen Stiefmutter in der Schweiz, dem Ort seines politischen Asyls, verbringt, wird das Mädchen schlagartig reifen: Heimatlos und ohne feste Bezugsperson wird Nathalie Sarraute zur feinen Beobachterin menschlicher Gemütszustände und Obsessionen. Ihre autobiographisch motivierte Erzählung der Kindheit inmitten russischer Emigranten in Paris nimmt Vieles vorweg, was die große Schriftstellerin Sarraute zeitlebens bewegt hat: die von Ablehnung geprägte Beziehung zur Mutter, die ständige Suche nach Heimat, aber auch das tiefe Vertrauen in die Kraft der Sprache. Eine unnachgiebige Doppelgängerin entlockt ihr im Gespräch bereits vergessen geglaubte Erinnerungen, lässt keine Beschönigungen des mühsam gepflegten Selbstbildes gelten und beschwört so Momente von großer Leidenschaft und Sensibilität. Spätestens mit dem 1959 erschienenen Roman Das Planetarium galt Sarraute als eine der bekanntesten Schriftstellerinnen ihrer Generation. Sie wurde in mehr als 30 Sprachen übersetzt und erhielt zahlreiche Preise. Gemeinsam mit Marguerite Duras, Alain Robbe-Grillet und Claude Simon war sie eine der zentralen Figuren des Nouveau Roman und nahm eine herausragende Stellung in der französischen Literatur der Nachkriegszeit ein.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureNovember 2023Farmer Innovations and Best Practices by Shifting Cultivators in Asia-Pacific
by Malcolm Cairns
This book, the third of a series, shows how shifting cultivators, from the Himalayan foothills to the Pacific Islands, have devised ways to improve their farming systems. Using case studies collected over many years, it considers the importance of swidden agriculture to food security and livelihoods, and its environmental significance, across multiple cultures, forest and cropping systems. There is a particular focus on soil fertility and climate change challenges. It is a 'must read' for those who realize that if the lives of shifting cultivators are to be improved, then far more attention needs to be directed to the indigenous and often ingenious innovations that shifting cultivators have themselves been able to develop. Many of these innovations and best practices will have strong potential for extrapolation to shifting cultivators elsewhere and to farming systems in general. This book: - Highlights innovations of shifting cultivators. - Combines solid science with accessible language and outstanding artwork. - Provides a collection of case studies unprecedented in its scope. This book will be suitable for students and researchers of agriculture, anthropology, sociology, agricultural economics, human ecology, ethnobotany, forestry, agroforestry, agronomy, soil science, farming systems, geography, environmental science and natural resource management.
