March 2012Florenz
Ein Reisebegleiter
by Birgit Haustedt
Divina Comedia, Domkuppel und Davidstatue: Keine andere Stadt Italiens beherbergt auf engstem Raum so viele bedeutende Kunstwerke wie Florenz. Dante und Boccaccio erfanden hier die italienische Literatur, Brunelleschi wagte den Bau der riesigen Kuppel, Michelangelo schuf für die Piazza della Signoria seine berühmteste Skulptur. Zehn Spaziergänge führen durch die Geschichte der Stadt von Mittelalter und Renaissance bis heute. Masaccios Fresken, Medici-Palast und Machiavellis Arbeitszimmer gehören ebenso dazu wie die Lieblingsorte bekannter Reisender oder die Krimischauplätze bei Magdalen Nabb. Die Wege führen auch in unbekannte Stadtteile wie das alte Marktviertel, Vorbild für Pinocchio – und Inspiration für ein anderes Werk, das so nur in Florenz entstehen konnte: Artusis Kochbuchklassiker Von der Wissenschaft des Kochens und der Kunst des Genießens.

Vier moderne Theaterstücke
by Martin Heckmanns, Lutz Hübner, Yasmina Reza, Peter Weiss, Frank Heibert, Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel, Wilhelm Schmid, Thomas Laue
Inhalt: Martin Heckmanns. Kommt ein Mann zur Welt Das Stück erzählt Brunos Lebensgeschichte von der Geburt bis zum Friedhof. Es ist die Geschichte eines Performancekünstlers, der ins Gefängnis kommt, eines Sängers mit einem einzigen Hit und einem Comeback, es ist die Geschichte seines Kampfes um Individualität und um das Lebensglück und sie endet mit einem letzten Satz auf dem Sterbebett »Ich hätte vielleicht …«. Das hat ein Dramatiker lange nicht gewagt: ein ganzes Leben, die menschliche Tragikomödie voller Witz und leisem Weh. Lutz Hübner. Ehrensache Eigentlich hatte der Samstag so gut angefangen. Zwei Jungen lernen zwei Mädchen kennen, man verabredet einen Ausflug in die Großstadt, Shoppen usw., doch nichts läuft so wie geplant. Am Abend liegt die junge Ellena tot auf einem Rastplatz. Die Fakten sind eindeutig: die beiden Jungen Cem und Sinan sind die Täter. Ein Gerichtsgutachter sucht nach den Motiven, war es gekränkte Ehre, Männerfreundschaft oder Rache? Lutz Hübner greift mit diesem authentischen Fall das Thema traditioneller Geschlechterbilder auf, bei dem unterschiedliche Wertvorstellungen scheinbar unversöhnlich aufeinanderprallen. Yasmina Reza. Der Gott des Gemetzels.Aus dem Französischen von Frank Heibert und Hinrich Schmidt-Henkel Veronique und Michel haben Annette und Alain zu einem Nachmittagskaffee eingeladen, weil die beiden Söhne der Ehepaare sich auf dem Schulhof geprügelt haben. Was als versöhnungsambitionierter Nachmittag beginnt, entwickelt sich schnell zu einer Reise durch die Abgründe der Be- und Erziehungshöllen aller Beteiligten. Mit erbarmungslosem Humor führt Yasmina Reza die moderne bürgerliche Gesellschaft vor, die sich nach außen so verbindlich zeigt, in der am Ende nur eines die Oberhand behält: das Gesetz des Gemetzels. Peter Weiss. Inferno In Anlehnung an Dantes Divina Commedia plant Peter Weiss in den sechziger Jahren eine Trilogie, von der uns der dritte Teil Die Ermittlung lange bekannt ist. Erst 2003 wurde der e

Christian spirituality & religious experienceFebruary 2015Lectio Divina
by Enzo Bianchi
The Bible is an ancient, enigmatic text from a culture vastly different from our own and most of us find it hard to read: how then can we understand its importance in the church, and how can it enrich our lives? Central to Lectio Divina is the conviction that to read the Bible faithfully and prayerfully is to learn an art. It is also to be in community, and to enter into dialogue with the God who speaks to each of us through the biblical page. Enzo Bianchi touches on some of the key insights in the history of Christian biblical interpretation - from the brilliant thinker Origen in the third century, to the development and refinement of historical criticism and related approaches in the modern era. He explains how to do lectio divina and understand its four 'moments' - lectio, meditatio, oratio, contemplatio. This is not simply a book about how to approach to the Bible, because Scripture ultimately wants to lead us beyond itself - to the truth and mystery of Christ that can never be captured fully in the written word.

Again facing his reflection on the mirror, and again the same idea coming to his mind, putting an end to his life. Inside his clenched fist, mum's sleeping pills, his only hope for escaping the hell esecially designed for him by his schoolmates. His little sister's love being his only reason to endure a life of hardship, Santiago has become, after years suffering the cruellest of bullyings at school, a mere shadow of himself. Otra vez frente al espejo, y otra vez con la misma idea, quitarse la vida. En el interior de su mano cerrada, las pastillas de dormir de mamá, su única esperanza para escapar del infierno que han fabricado para él sus propios compañeros de colegio. Sin más aliciente para seguir viviendo que el amor por su hermanita Teresa, Santiago se ha convertido, tras años de estar sufriendo acoso en su colegio, en una sombra de sí mismo. La llegada de Lucía, una niña nueva, extraña y diferente, logrará rescatarlo del universo frío e inhóspito en el que vive, y hará renacer en él la esperanza de volver a sonreír. Pero en el colegio, la persecución continúa y Nacho, su principal acosador, no ceja en su empeño de doblegar su espíritu de un forma u otra. Y Santiago, decidido a no dejarse derrotar, acabará transformándose en aquello que más odia. The arrival of Lucia, a new classmate, different and awkward, will strike some degree of balance in his life, successfully rescuing him from the cold and barren universe he inhabits and triggering a new desire to smile again. But nothing changes at school: the bullying goes on relentlessly and Nacho, the worst bully, won't give up on his whim to break Santiago's spirit one way or the other. But Santiago, firmly determined not to be defeated, will inevitably turn into the thing he hates the most.

PhilosophyAnthropology of Christian Vocation
From Person to Person
by Juan Manuel Cabiedas
The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

The ArtsA Bible in Ivory
Mediterranean art in 11th century Salerno
by Valentino Pace
In the late 11th century, one of the greatest historical and artistical times in Campania, in the South of Italy, a significant role was played in this sense by Alfano, the Archbishop of Salerno. He personally committed the episcopal throne inside the Cathedral, with the intention to catch the eye of anyone who entered as a symbol of the ultimate devotion. Of this work, with scenes from the Old and New Testament, only 67 ivory plaques still remain. The throne was realized in ivory, a precious material which can be considered inferior only to gold. Working with ivory required advanced skills from the artists, who had to know how to extract the thin layers from an elephant tusk before being able to delicately carve a scene. Possibly planned and executed for the Cathedral of Amalfi, it is the most extensive series of ivory panels to an artifact that predates the Gothic Era. They prove to be an artistic production that, due to the valuable nature of its material and the quality of its execution – not to mention the inherent interest of its narrative sequence –, is without comparison.

April 2020Reificación mediática
by German Duarte
En los años 60 del siglo pasado, las posiciones existencialistas y fenomenológicas plantearon un problema importante y controvertido, que produjo divisiones en el seno del mismísimo campo del pensamiento marxista. ¿Está el efecto de reificación sujeto inextricablemente al modo de producción capitalista? ¿Está por ello destinado a desaparecer con la liberación de la esfera social del dominio del capital, o bien tenemos que pensar que el carácter de reificación es más profundo que el mismo capitalismo y que está arraigado en la dimensión antropológica fundacional, anterior a la relación capitalista social ?.
