June 2023Was ist Liberalismus?
by Elif Özmen
Wer über Demokratie spricht, darf über Liberalismus nicht schweigen. Liberale Prinzipien wie Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Gewaltenteilung, Menschenrechte und Toleranz gehören zum festen Bestand moderner Demokratien. Daher ist die gegenwärtig vielbeschworene Krise der Demokratie auch eine Krise des Liberalismus. Dieser könne, so meinen viele, seine Versprechen nicht mehr einlösen. Gegen die allzu geläufigen Gemeinplätze und Krisendiskurse über den Liberalismus positioniert sich das Buch Elif Özmens mit einer systematischen Darstellung seiner philosophischen Grundlagen, normativen Architekturen und aktuellen Kontroversen. Eine Verteidigung des Liberalismus als der am wenigsten schlechten unter den Regierungs- und Lebensformen.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2024Diaspora as translation and decolonisation
by Ipek Demir
This innovative study engages critically with existing conceptualisations of diaspora, arguing that if diaspora is to have analytical purchase, it should illuminate a specific angle of migration or migrancy. To reveal the much-needed transformative potential of the concept, the book looks specifically at how diasporas undertake translation and decolonisation. It offers various conceptual tools for investigating diaspora, with a specific focus on diasporas in the Global North and a detailed empirical study of the Kurdish diaspora in Europe. The book also considers the backlash diasporas of colour have faced in the Global North.

October 2021Lydian Painted Pottery Abroad
The Gordion Excavations 1950-1973
by R. Gul Gurtekin-Demir
This book is the first major study of Lydian material culture at Gordion and also the first published monograph on Lydian painted pottery from any site excavation. Richly illustrated, it provides a comprehensive definition and analysis of Lydian ceramics based on stylistic, archaeological, and textual evidence, while thoroughly documenting the material’s stratigraphic contexts. The book situates the ceramic corpus within its broader Anatolian cultural context and offers insights into the impact of Lydian cultural interfaces at Gordion. The Lydian pottery found at Gordion was largely produced at centers other than Sardis, the Lydian royal capital, although Sardian imports are also well attested and began to influence Gordion’s material culture as early as the 7th century BCE, if not before. Following the demise of the Lydian kingdom, a more limited repertoire of Lydian ceramics demonstrably continued in use at Gordion into the Achaemenid Persian period in the late 6th and 5th centuries BCE. The material was excavated by Professor Rodney Young’s team between 1950 and 1973 and is fully presented here for the first time. Ongoing research in the decades following Young’s excavations has led to a more refined understanding of Gordion’s archaeological contexts and chronology, and, consequently, we are now able to view the Lydian ceramic corpus within a more secure stratigraphic framework than would have been the case if the material had been published shortly after the excavations.

Ouchieee
by Author: Elif Seyrekbasan Illustrator: Nesibe Çelebi
The author draws attention to the effect of empowering the child when coping with difficult issues, and doing this by getting support from the child’s own life and “successes.” Cansu is in the emergency service at the hospital with her family. As the nurse approaches with a needle in her hand to take blood from her, Cansu starts shouting: “Ouchieee”. The other children in the hospital are nervous: “What are they doing to make this child shout so fiercely?” However, the tip of the needle has not even touched Cansu, but she screams out of breath: Ouchieee! And at the end of these shouts—maybe we should say calls—a girl appears at the speed of a jet and says, “Here I am with your call.” Cansu is confused. She is sure that she did not call anyone. Where did this girl come from? That moment is the meeting of Ouchie and Cansu. Ouchie is there to help her get through this “difficult” process in the hospital. Meet our pratogonists, who will add color to children’s rich imaginations and encourage them to deal with their fears.

FictionTwin Flame
by Nish Amarnath
TWIN FLAME is an inter-racial love story with literary overtones, multicultural stripes and strands of magical realism. A South Asian Math prodigy’s wish for a boy in a painting to come alive materializes in the form of an Austrian-Jewish writer. But a troubling secret wrenches them apart, forcing them to confront their worst fears, if life is to give them one final chance. Sherry Kasal, diagnosed with type-1 diabetes at the age of five, hopes to draw upon her passion for Math to discover a cure for conditions like her own. She stumbles upon a painting of a boy trapped in a snowstorm. She talks to the boy in this picture whenever she's sad, frustrated, angry and/or dejected. When writer Shaddy Haas enters her life, Sherry is motivated to resume work on a concentric model of electromagnetism that she had abandoned as a teen. Alas, circumstances wrench Sherry and Shaddy apart. Sherry, who reluctantly marries a lawyer, lands in Manhattan, where she scrambles to pick up the vestiges of her shelved research dream and realizes that she’s living a lie. Sherry must also unravel a flabbergasting secret that links Shaddy to the painting of the boy in the snowstorm as they try to find their way back to each other. Twin Flame, whose narrative is embedded with the alternating voices of its protagonists in both first-person and third-person points of view, combines the mystical ethos of Elif Shafak's 'Forty Rules of Love' with the futuristic cadence of Erich Segal's 'Prizes' and the exotic romanticism of Jan-Philipp Sendker's 'The Art of Hearing Heartbeats.'

FictionKreta the Time Traveler
by Gülşah Ozdemir Koryürek - Selin Saygili
"Time Traveler Kreta" is a science-fiction children's book that tells the effects of our consumption habits on the climate crisis to children aged 8 and above, through the adventures of two alien friends, Kreta and Shiva. While the text is based on the climate crisis, topics such as sustainability, how the world works, time and space, exploration, scientific and technological progress are also covered. The adventurous Earth journey of Kreta and Shiva progresses in a fictional reality that emerges with the narration of scientific data about the climate crisis and ends with proposals for solutions. Kreta, an inquisitive and excited time traveller, want to embark on every adventure without thinking about the end and thus become an experienced time traveller. Once Kreta gains enough experience, they will find their profession and acquire new skills. On the other hand, their friend Shiva is a mature, somewhat lazy, poet alien cat who tries to rein in Kreta in every adventure. Kreta and Shiva travel to the planet Earth to meet humans, but they encounter strange creatures that are not human-like: dinosaurs! Yes, they find the Earth, but they are at the wrong time to meet people. They don't get along well with the dinosaurs and leave Earth, but Kreta is determined to find humans. When they try their luck once again, this time, they go to the 2070s of the world. Despite technological progress, they encounter a dark and hot planet where oxygen and water are scarce. In the world of the 2070s, among robots and other strange creatures, they finally find a human being: Omer. What they learn from Omer, an engineer specializing in climate research, surprises Kreta and Shiva. In the 2070s, the world is struggling with the effects of a big problem called climate change, and this problem cannot be solved. In the light of this information, a brand new task comes before Kreta and Shiva. This mission is to go back to the 2010s, the deadline when the climate crisis can be averted, and deliver a video message to the people. When Kreta and Shiva reach the world of the 2010s, they accidentally land in the middle of Omer's birthday party. Their aim is to deliver the video message to Omer, but during the party, they fail to do so, and they start following Omer. Both at the birthday party and while they follow Omer, Kreta and Shiva witness the culture of waste in the World of the 2010s: huge vehicles designed for people's tiny bodies, aeroplanes, plastic packaging used to present gifts, decorations, single-use plastic serving plates and glasses and vast amounts of waste food... Kreta and Shiva understand why they have been teleported to this date when problems of the 2070s could have been prevented. Kreta and Shiva eventually find Omer in an enormous hotel where his Youtuber mother is visiting for a launching event. They have funny moments when they introduce themselves to Omer. Yet, they manage to deliver the video to Omer and tell him about the problems that will happen in the future. However, when he watched the video, Omer realizes that the problem cannot be solved immediately. He thinks that he cannot persuade other people, either alone or as a child; he cannot change their consumption habits. He tries to ask his mother for her support, but he can't make his mother, who is always busy, listen to him. Kreta and Shiva decide to stay a little longer and help Omer, and they achieve their goals in the launching meeting of Omer's mother. They manage to show the video to thousands of people. The fact that most of the viewers are children is a great advantage because they understand the climate change problem best. Children do not remain silent to the call of the message and take action for the Earths future. The book's pedagogical structure and the scientific data on which it is based were established with experts in these fields. The reading of scientific data was done by the engineer members of the Sustainability Steps Association. The reading in the pedagogical context was carried out by PCG Teachers. The video mentioned in the story is embedded in the book via QR code and can be watched with English subtitles on Youtube.

FictionOctober 2021Gott aus Stroh
by Frank Dommel
Gott aus Stroh Frank Dommel Kommissar Falk Sebastiani erschießt in der Not drei Attentäter und wird dafür mit fragwürdigem Ruhm und vie Applaus von der falschen Seite bedacht. Er nimmt sich in der norwegischen Finnmark eine Auszeit, doch die Ruhe ist trügerisch: Die Gegend ist Teil einer illegalen Flüchtlingsroute - mit teils daramtischen Folgen. Zudem verdichten sich die Hinweise, dass Falks Tochter Hannah aus Oslo in einen Mordfall involviert ist. Die Suche nach ihr bringt Falk ans Limit. In der unbarmherzigen Wildnis wird er mit einem Gegner konfrontiert, der für Hannahs Taten den ultimativen Preis verlangt: ein Leben für ein Leben. Frank Dommel schreibt mit dem Skalpell - messerscharf beobachtet und gnadenlos ehrlich. In Gott aus Stroh verknüpft er unbequeme gesellschaftspolitische Fakten, feinsinnigen Humor und Fragen nach individueller und politischer Schuld zu einem packenden Kriminalroman. Dreh- und Angelpunkt ist Kommissar Falk Sebastiani, der bei einem Einsatz drei Attentäter erschießt. Halb Held, halb Mörder, sucht er in der Abgeschiedenheit der norwegischen Finnmark Anschluss an sein verpasstes Leben und gerät in ein komplexes Gewirr aus Familiendrama, Flüchtlingsschleusen und organisierter Drogenkriminalität. Wie Dommel aus der Psychologie einer erstarrten, doch beidseitig um einen Neuanfang bemühten Vater-Tochter-Beziehung die Schattenseiten einer zutiefst verunsicherten globalisierten Welt zeigt, ist einzigartig. Zudem verankert er unaufdringlich starkes Lokalkolorit in seinem Plot, in dem sich die Einsamkeit und Kälte des Nordens sowohl in der Stimmung des Romans als auch in der Gemütsverfassung seiner Figuren widerspiegelt. Kopfkino par excellence, das begeistert und lange nachhallt.
