Something is Missing
Things We Don't Want to Know about Love, Sex and Life
by Bülent Somay
Something is Missing is a book trying to demystify the abundance of popular literature on love, sex and life, starting from a Lacanian / psychoanalytic point and eventually ending up in a Marxist / revolutionary one, traversing many areas of popular culture, especially cinema. It attempts to address the Lacanian concepts of lack, desire, the Real and jouissance, through the feminist critique of Lacanianism and the Foucauldian concept of the policies of Truth. And although it categorically denies the existence of a single, attainable, knowable Truth in itself, it endeavors to point out that the search for truth(s) is the only thing that lends any meaning to "Life, the Universe and Everything", apart, of course, from "42", which is Douglas Adams' answer to the same question.

October 2020Aufbruch am Ararat
Das neue Armenien
by Amalia Van Gent
The dream of a less corrupt, democratic Armenia drove hundreds of thousands onto the streets across the country in the spring of 2018. This peaceful mass movement actually succeeded in driving the corrupt government out of office. But what has become of the great promise in the meantime? Which changes are sustainable and how does the Karabach Conflict affect social developments? This book is a highly topical encounter with modern Armenia, a valuable continuation of the author's first book (Den Ararat in front of her eyes - with Christina Leumann), but also an excitingly written examination of the history of this fascinating, but largely unknown country.
