        Tausend Geschichten sind nicht genug

        Leipziger Poetikvorlesung 2007

        by Ingo Schulze, Josef Haslinger, Michael Lentz

        Geschichte ist uns nur in Form von Geschichten zugänglich, der Autor vermittelt zwischen den Ereignissen und der Erfahrung der Leser. Das scheint insbesondere für den großen Erzähler Ingo Schulze zu gelten: Simple Storys (1998) wurde als "erstes großes Buch der deutschen Einheit" bezeichnet, Neue Leben (2005) als Wenderoman schlechthin. Doch wie funktioniert dieses geheimnisvolle Medium, der Autor? Einen Einblick in diese black box gab Ingo Schulze in seiner Leipziger Poetikvorlesung "Tausend Geschichten sind nicht genug" (2007). Diese wird hier zusammen mit seiner aufsehenerregenden Rede "Was wollen wir?" aus Anlaß der Verleihung des Thüringer Literaturpreises dokumentiert. Ingo Schulze, geboren 1962 in Dresden, lebt in Berlin. Zuletzt erhielt er für Handy – Dreizehn Geschichten in alter Manier den "Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse" 2007.

        Pasts at play

        Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914

        by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling

        This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.

        Umbauland

        Zehn deutsche Visionen

        by Ingo Niermann

        Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs tat man in der Bundesrepublik alles, um einen nationalen Sonderweg zu vermeiden. Selbst wenn ein neuer Patriotismus gefordert wurde, geschah das in der Absicht, Deutschland als westliche Demokratie endlich restlos zu normalisieren. Doch damit sich Deutschland gegen die wachsende internationale Konkurrenz behaupten kann, braucht es Standortvorteile, die einmalig und möglichst schwer nachzuahmen sind. So zwingt gerade die Globalisierung zur Suche nach spezifisch deutschen Visionen. In seinem Buch »Umbauland« formuliert Ingo Niermann zehn provozierend einfache Vorhaben, wie es mit Deutschland doch noch klappen kann, unter anderem eine neue Grammatik, eine Bodenreform, eine neue Partei und das größte Bauwerk der Welt.

        Loose Connection

        by Fe Strack, Xiaying Lin, Martina Schlegl

        Jojo and his best friend Charly’s class often do silly things, and then something goes wrong. But nobody would have thought that things could also go wrong in someone’s head. However, everything suddenly changes when Jojo falls over in phys ed and has to go to the hospital. Jojo seems to be afraid of school and then the others make fun of him. Jojo explains to Charly that he has an illness called epilepsy. This means that lots of nerve cells in the brain are silly in the same way all at once – so that, for a short time, some things don’t work for him like they should. Their classmates must be able to understand that, Charly thinks. And then Charly and Jojo have a brilliant idea. This story aims to help children affected by epilepsy to understand their condition better, and should help accompanying adults to explain the different forms of epilepsy in a way that is appropriate for children. For:• children of elementary school age(between 6 and 12 years) who sufferfrom epilepsy• parents and relatives• therapists

        Internationale Gerichte in Zeiten globalen Regierens

        by Armin Bogdandy, Ingo Venzke

        Internationale Gerichte sind zu multifunktionalen Akteuren des globalen Regierens erstarkt. Das überlieferte Verständnis der internationalen Gerichtsbarkeit, welches diese allein als Instrument der Streitbeilegung in den Händen der Staaten ansieht, ist dieser Entwicklung gegenüber allerdings blind. Armin von Bogdandy und Ingo Venzke legen einen neuen Ansatz vor, der den Funktionen internationaler Rechtsprechung jenseits der Streitbeilegung nachspürt, die internationale Spruchpraxis als Ausübung öffentlicher Gewalt konzipiert und ihre demokratische Rechtfertigung prüft. Dadurch erschließen sie die legitimatorische Problematik und eröffnen zugleich bislang ungesehene Möglichkeiten der Weiterentwicklung internationaler Gerichtsbarkeit.

        May the Loveforce Be With You

        Kali-Ki Reiki: Healing Through Divine Mother & Yogic Wisdom

        by Rajashree Maa

        May the Loveforce Be With introduces a new lineage in energy healing, Kali-Ki ReikiTM, that was revealed to the author, Joni Dittrich, Ph.D. (Rajashree Maa), in a series of mystical encounters with the Divine Mother appearing as the goddess Kali Maa. The book brilliantly tells the stories of these encounters and presents the healing symbols that She revealed, explaining how these symbols can be used both for mind-body healing and spiritual awakening, or what Rajashree Maa calls "wisening." While traditional reiki systems also use symbols to transmit healing energy, the symbols introduced in Kali-Ki Reiki are seen as unique, three-dimensional, active, intelligent forms of light that tap into certain universal energy frequencies that are particularly attuned to the evolving conscious awareness as well as the personal and societal dilemmas of our current times. The fact that these symbols were revealed by Divine Mother to a woman in this era points to a need in today's world to re-establish our connection with the feminine forces of nature and spirit. The healing energy transmitted through these symbols is called Loveforce, which is considered to be the manifesting, creative, and healing power of the Limitless Love that is the Source of all that is.

        Die Erste

        Mutige Frauen verändern die Welt

        by Barbara Sichtermann, Ingo Rose

        Die Erste zu sein war für Frauen eine schwierige Angelegenheit, mussten sie doch lange Zeit den Männern den Vortritt lassen. Ob als Studentin, Juristin, Physikerin oder Hochleistungssportlerin – es bedurfte eines großen Durchhaltevermögens und vieler hartnäckiger Versuche, um sich durchzusetzen und schließlich die Erste zu sein. Barbara Sichtermann und Ingo Rose erzählen von Frauen, die den Mut hatten, Widerständen zu trotzen und ihren Traum zu verwirklichen – und somit als erste Nachrichtensprecherin, als erste Landesbischöfin oder als erste Gondelfahrerin in Venedig in die Geschichte der Ersten einzugehen.

        The Spiritual Lives of Scientists

        by Paul J. Mills, Ph.D.

        Spirituality is the Final Frontier for ScienceContrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. Science, Being, & Becoming is about the spiritual lives of scientists, their actual transpersonal, metaphysical and mystical experiences. The book's material is derived from intimate interviews with over 30 scientists as they describe the circumstances under which they had the experiences and how those experiences changed their consciousness, transformed their belief systems about the nature of the world, and changed their scientific work.

        Liberal realism

        A realist theory of liberal politics

        by Matt Sleat

        Political realism has recently moved to the centre of debates in contemporary political theory. In this monograph, Matt Sleat presents the first comprehensive overview of the resurgence of interest in realist political theory and develops a unique and original defence of liberal politics in realist terms. Through explorations of the work of a diverse range of thinkers, including Bernard Williams, John Rawls, Raymond Geuss, Judith Shklar, John Gray, Carl Schmitt and Max Weber, the author advances a theory of liberal realism that is consistent with the realist emphasis on disagreement and conflict yet still recognisably liberal in its concern with respecting individuals' freedom and constraining political power. The result is a unique contribution to the ongoing debates surrounding realism and an original and timely re-imagining of liberal theory for the twenty-first century. This provocative work will be of interest to students and all concerned with the possibility of realising liberalism and its moral aspirations in today's world. ;
