        Oden

        by David Van Reybrouck, Waltraud Hüsmert

        Dass ein international berühmter und preisgekrönter Sachbuchautor und Romancier wie David Van Reybrouck sich der jahrtausendealten Form der Ode zuwendet, mag auf den ersten Blick erstaunen. Van Reybrouck verwandelt sich diese seit jeher für die rühmende Hinwendung zu Menschen und Dingen bestimmte Form auf seine eigene, sehr persönliche Weise an: Seit 2015 schreibt er in dem unabhängigen niederländischen online-Magazin The Correspondent regelmäßig emphatische Würdigungen von Menschen, Dingen, aber auch ganz alltäglichen Vorgängen: der Ex, der nächtlichen Autofahrt, dem Offline-Sein, David Bowie, Kunstwerken, Menschen, denen er auf seinen Reisen begegnet ist oder die ihn geprägt haben. Hier werden sie erstmals in Buchform veröffentlicht. Offen und neugierig auf das Leben in all seinen Erscheinungsformen zeigt David Van Reybrouck hier mehr noch als in seinen anderen Büchern seine sinnliche, verletzliche, dichterische Seite. Er tritt auf als Abenteurer, Liebhaber, Freund, als engagierter Europäer und Streiter für Demokratie, Solidarität und Menschlichkeit. Und als leidenschaftlicher Bewunderer und genauer Beobachter. Nicht nur in der Van-Reybrouck-Gemeinde sind diese Oden Kult. »Oden schreiben – ich kann es nur empfehlen: Es macht einen aufmerksamer, begeisterungsfähiger, neugieriger, dankbarer.«

        These "arts" aren't too cold!

        by Shen Si

        "How to appreciate a painting", "How to understand art", "this painting can also be seen here", "XX Art History"... Similar books are emerging on the Internet, and homogenization is too serious. How to break out of this phenomenon, and not only talk about art history, but also blindly follow the trend and make a topic that no one else has? Cold knowledge of art seems to be "cold", but in fact it is not cold. Although it contains a lot of background knowledge of art history, it can make them "hot", so that readers who are interested in understanding art history can explore the more inner way of art history under the clues of large art history in a relaxed and pleasant reading experience. "These" Arts "Are Not Too Cold! ", aimed at breaking the general cognition and misunderstanding of the public on the art of the cold knowledge, to express a writer's attitude. Let's see what Shen says about art!

        Sprachengerechtigkeit

        für Europa und die Welt

        by Michael Adrian, Nikolaus Gramm, Philippe Van Parijs

        »Do you speak English?« Nicht nur in Europa erhält man als Antwort darauf immer häufiger ein »Yes«. Und in der Tat: Quasi unter der Hand scheint sich Englisch zu einer neuen »lingua franca« zu entwickeln, wie auch empirische Daten belegen. Aber ist das gerecht? Oder vielmehr ein Menetekel der »Amerikanisierung« der Welt, respektlos und »unfair« – der Anfang vom Ende der kulturellen Vielfalt, die gerade Europa so besonders macht? Philippe Van Parijs vertritt in seinem Buch die provokante These, dass wir diese Entwicklung nicht nur begrüßen, sondern auch aktiv beschleunigen sollten. Eine gemeinsame Sprache, so seine Überzeugung, ermögliche mehr Bürgern die Teilhabe an politischen und wirtschaftlichen Prozessen und sei eine effektive Waffe im Kampf um mehr Gerechtigkeit. Seine Devise lautet daher: »Go English!« Aber ist das wirklich gerecht? Schließlich wären englische Muttersprachler im Vorteil, und es spricht viel dafür, die Sprachenvielfalt gerade aus Gründen der Gerechtigkeit zu schützen. Van Parijs stellt sich diesen und weiteren Einwänden in gehaltvoller Auseinandersetzung mit den maßgeblichen Paradigmen der Gerechtigkeitstheorie und diskutiert dann praktische Maßnahmen zur Durchsetzung der Sprachengerechtigkeit – etwa eine Sprachsteuer für anglophone Länder oder ein Verbot der Synchronisierung englischsprachiger Filme. »Sprachengerechtigkeit für Europa und die Welt« ist kein Buch gegen die Vielfalt der Sprachen und Kulturen. Aber es behauptet, dass Sprachenvielfalt kein Wert an sich ist, anders als Gerechtigkeit. Ein außergewöhnlicher Beitrag zur Debatte um die Zukunft Europas.
