March 2022Knecht, allein
by Gerbrand Bakker, Andreas Ecke
Der Schriftsteller Gerbrand Bakker leidet an Depressionen und wegen der verschriebenen Antidepressiva an Libidoverlust. Eine Sexologin rät ihm, eine love map zu erstellen. Er folgt ihrem Rat und verzeichnet in Knecht, allein, seiner persönlichen Liebeskarte, alle im weitesten Sinne zur Geschichte seines Liebens gehörenden Erinnerungen. Er schreibt von einem Roadtrip nach Griechenland, einer Wanderung in Wales, von Gesprächen mit Freunden und den Nachbarn in der Eifel – und sucht in diesen Erinnerungen nach einem möglichen Auslöser seines depressiven Weltverlusts. Knecht, allein liefert psychologische Einsichten in das Leben und Lieben eines Depressiven, wie man sie in dieser Ehrlichkeit und Klarheit selten liest. Der »Sprachhandwerker« Gerbrand Bakker umkreist sein Selbstverhältnis zu seiner Krankheit, sucht fast fiebrig nach den geeigneten Worten, um die Leere zu greifen, und begegnet ihr zugleich mit einer besonderen Lakonie, mit Humor und Freimut.

May 2011Tage im Juni
Roman
by Gerbrand Bakker, Andreas Ecke
Die Königin kommt. Und das Dorf im nördlichsten Zipfel der Niederlande steht kopf. Familie Kaan ist mittendrin im Trubel dieses Junitages 1969: Zwei der Söhne schwenken Fähnchen vor dem Gemeindehaus, und der kleinen Tochter auf dem Arm ihrer Mutter Anna streicht Königin Juliana höchstpersönlich über die Wange. Vierzig Jahre später ist es ruhig geworden auf dem Hof der Kaans. Vieh gibt es außer einem letzten Stier keines mehr. Und daß Altbäuerin Anna sich regelmäßig mit einer Flasche Eierlikör und ihrer Seelenlast auf den Heuboden zurückzieht, wird stillschweigend akzeptiert. Nur die fünfjährige Dieke wundert sich. Was vor vierzig Jahren dem Leben ihrer Familie eine völlig andere Richtung gegeben hat, offenbart sich erst nach und nach. Gerbrand Bakker erzählt so wortkarg wie wortstark von einem Dorf, einem Hof, einem tragischen Unfall, vor allem aber von einer Familie, in der jeder auf andere Weise mit Erinnerung und Verlust umgeht. Eine berührende Geschichte.

You can be scared, but not a coward
The exciting and fateful history of the Bakker family
by Toni Boumans
The epic story of an extraordinary Frisian family: from strict Reformist Northern notables to unyielding, gay resistance fighters. At the end of the Nineteenth Century, Popke Bakker, son of an innkeeper in Langweer, along with his wife Dieuwke decided to start a yarn-and-ribbon shop in Buitenpost. The company quickly became a household name. In the years that followed, P.S. Bakker grew into a well-known fashion house in the north, with branches in Leeuwarden and Groningen. The strictly Reformed Bakkers were also active administratively and politically. Some of Popke and Dieuwke's grandchildren were homosexual, an orientation that they tried not to show from their Reformed background. Couturier Sjoerd, his brothers Albert, Popke and Dirk, and their cousin, publisher Bert Bakker, played a prominent role in the artistic environment of the late 1930s in Amsterdam. After the invasion of the Germans they resisted. Sjoerd, who made the police uniforms for the attack on the Amsterdam Civil Registry Office in 1943, would eventually be executed along with his resistance comrades. A dramatic fate also awaited other Bakker family members. It is the first time that Bakker descendants have been interviewed about their ancestors. Toni Boumans was also given access to many personal documents. An unforgettable story of an exceptional family with an admirable moral compass

EducationOn the Edge: (Auto)biography and Pedagogical Theories on Religious Education
by Ter Avest, I.
For the first time, leading scholars in Religious Education and Citizenship Education reflect upon ‘the making of’ of their theoretical framework, in honour of Siebren Miedema. In this Liber Amicorum, in retrospect these scholars recognize, implicitly or more explicitly, ‘critical incidents’ and they honour ‘critical persons’ for the decisive voice each of them had in the articulation of the theoretical frame of reference the scholars developed in the field of pedagogy of religion(s) and citizenship education. Or, to use the words Siebren Miedema prefers, the field of religious citizenship education. The ‘eminence grise’ in the field of Pedagogy is brought together in this volume, like John Hull, Bob Jackson and Wolfram Weisse; scholars from the United States of America like Jack Seymour and Mary Elizabeth Moore; scholars from Latin America like Günther Dietz; scholars from the Netherlands like Cok Bakker, Chris Hermans, Henk Kuindersma, Alma Lanser, Wilna Meijer, Bram de Muynck and Doret de Ruyter; scholars from Western Europe like Hans-Günther Heimbrock and Friedrich Schweitzer; scholars from Eastern Europe like Fedor Kozyrev; scholars from up North like Geir Skeie; scholars from down South like Cornelia Roux and Marian De Souza. They all responded to the question of the editor, Ina ter Avest, to reflect upon the relationship between their biography and their developed theoretical framework. For everybody interested in the field of religious citizenship education, this volume offers a thorough introduction to their theories. We hope this comprehensive book will provoke readers to balance on the edge of different perspectives and to stimulate the development of their own line of thought on religious citizenship education.

Business, Economics & LawVitality Unleashed
8 principles for a new way of working in business, education and society
by Silke Luinstra
How quiet heroes can (calmly) achieve great things A clever business book about the future of work and organisational development: one that throws contradictions into sharp relief and facilitates genuine transformation. Today, new work, agility and digitalisation are the words on everyone’s lips. But rampant rules and regulations, inflexible processes and outmoded systems of incentives do not foster an environment of inspiration, creativity or collaboration. Instead, they programme us for rigid conformity, which blocks a spirit of vitality in the development of organisations. It is vitality that lays the groundwork for self-organisation, both in companies and in broader society. Where space is created for self-organisation, this also gives rise to development and progress – in the truly evolutionary sense of the word. With this in mind, Luinstra makes the case a new ‘New Work’: a way of working that makes space for freedom, autonomy and responsibility as well as for societal participation, solidarity and an awareness of social and ecological consequences. People want to feel that their contribution is relevant – both at work and in society as a whole. Luinstra has observed first-hand how infrequently vitality is felt in modern organisations - yet she also knows, from her work, that vitality often lies waiting to be unlocked. She presents numerous case studies from corporate practice, exploring how to find meaning, establish a culture of self-management, think and act autonomously and rethink the process of development. As she writes, Luinstra makes no bones about the fact that vitality also challenges us. It requires us to question our thoughts and actions and dare to initiate change. Thus, vitality is (also) always something of an imposition. 8 principles for injecting vitality back into organisations: finding meaning, establishing a culture of self-management, thinking and acting autonomously and rethinking development A range of case studies from everyday business An up-to-the-minute publication about the future of work and organisational development
