        Bericht. Herbst 2008

        by Rainald Goetz

        Beck wurde rausgeschmissen am Schwielowsee, in Cern wurde der Teilchenbeschleuniger angestellt, und nachdem Damien Hirst in London seine Sensationsauktion glücklich (111 Millionen Pfund Erlös) hinter sich gebracht hatte, kollabierten noch am selben Tag in New York die in die dortigen Feuchtbiotope und Felsen hinein errichteten Banken: Lehman, Goldman, Partners und Konsorten. Das Wort Rettungsschirm kam auf, die Dinger wurden aufgespannt, die Kredite trotzdem immer fauler. Kreditkrise, Staatskrise, Vertrauen weg, Derivate angeblich hochspekulativ usw. Frage an den Staat: Hast du mal ein paar Millliarden? Herr Ackermann, Herr Mehdorn, der Schwarze Schwan im Herbst 2008; September, Oktober, November. Ja: Wie war das gleich noch mal gewesen? Wie hat sich das angefühlt? Loslabern erzählt in drei Kapiteln (1. Reise; 2. Herbstempfang 2008; 3. Der Jüngling) verschiedene Geschichten aus dieser grandios durchgeknallten Zeit. Das Ende vom Anfang des neuen Jahrtausends war plötzlich da.

        "I am Jugoslovenka!"

        Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism

        by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon

        "I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

        Ritual

        An Essential Grimoire

        by Damien Echols & Lorri Davis

        Damien Echols and Lorri Davis share their most valuable magickal practices for invoking the support of divine energy in your life. We so often feel like our lives are beyond our control, so how can it be true that we somehow create our reality? The Western tradition of magick tells us that our thoughts and intentions do shape the world—and that ritual is one of the most effective tools for becoming conscious participants in our own destiny. “Ritual teaches us that we are never truly powerless,” says Damien Echols. With Ritual: An Essential Grimoire, he joins his wife and teaching partner Lorri Davis to bring you an invaluable collection of practices for daily use. Magickal ritual goes beyond creating good habits or routines. Each practice Damien and Lorri share is a grounding point that enables divine energy to enter the physical world—uniting earthly efforts with the unseen forces of creation. This grimoire (or book of spells) contains rituals and meditations for protection, joy, love, luck, prosperity, creativity, and spiritual insight— all presented in plain, accessible language that anyone can use.

        Redefining Genocide

        Settler Colonialism, Social Death and Ecocide

        by Damien Short

        In this highly controversial and original work, Damien Short systematically rethinks how genocide is and should be defined. Rather than focusing solely on a narrow conception of genocide as direct mass-killing, through close empirical analysis of a number of under-discussed case studies - including Palestine, Sri Lanka, Australia and Alberta, Canada - the book reveals the key role played by settler colonialism, capitalism, finite resources and the ecological crisis in driving genocidal social death on a global scale.

        The Estate of Barbara Pym

        Witty romantic comedies

        by Barbara Pym

        Barbara Pym's humorous romantic comedies are fabulously witty and clever. When in 1977 the TLS asked critics to name the most underrated authors of the past 75 years, only one was named twice (by Philip Larkin and Lord David Cecil): Barbara Pym. She has been described as a modern Jane Austen by both Philip Larkin and Alexander McCall Smith.

        Stray Home

        by Amy M. Clark

        With poems that combine the self-scrutiny of Philip Larkin with the measure of Elizabeth Bishop, Amy M. Clark burnishes her first collection, Stray Home, with exquisite understatement and formal control. Sweeter than Larkin and more intimate than Bishop, these poems address the suppressed pain and shame of living as a childless woman in a world of mothers, the dissociation attendant on depression and fraught family relationships, and the search for a sense of belonging in the face of dislocation.Stray Home cuts deeply to discover the buried emotions and insights universal to all suffering and compassionate human beings.
