        Greenwichprosa

        by Ute-Christine Krupp

        »Orientierungspunkt Greenwich: Der Nullmeridian geht durch Greenwich, von dort zählt man 180 Grad nach Osten und 180 Grad nach Westen.« Ute-Christine Krupp leiht als »Augen- und Ohrenzeuge« ihre Stimme einer jungen Frau namens Lene Mertens. Die ist Bürokauffrau, in der Gegenwartsliteratur gewöhnlich keine tragende Rolle. Wir lesen ein poetisches 24-Stunden-Protokoll - einer in die helle und die dunkle Seite gespaltenen Zeit.In einer Sprache, in der das Klappern der Tastatur und der Stundentakt nachhallen, beschreibt Ute-Christine Krupp einen ritualisierten und beispielhaften Alltagszyklus, in dem das Leben nur noch tabellarisch vorkommt. Aber - Lene Mertens kündigt. Auf der Suche nach einer anderen als der mechanischen Zeit. Stilistisch glanzvoll und streng komponiert, gelingt es Ute-Christine Krupp, unsere Wahrnehmung von Zeit sprachlich abzubilden.

        Kelantan is rich in traditional art such as dikir barat, makyung, menora, shadow play, main peteri, bageh and a few others. These arts are among those that have been established for centuries in the state of Kelantan, growing and not only nationally but internationally, for example dikir barat, makyung and shadow play. Even Makyung in 2005, was named as UNESCO's World Intangible Cultural Heritage. The book attempts to explore the art of shadow play through the highlight of the involvement of a mastermind, the now-famous Tok Dalang Che Ann in Kelantan state. The art of ever- refreshing shadow play is a very unique performing art. Using beautifully carved statues, the use of curtains and the effects of shadows, shadow play has been presented for public viewing since time immemorial, as well as famous among local and foreign tourists. The book was produced in conjunction with the launch of the National Cultural Policy or DAKEN (2021) last October that emphasized the importance of art and heritage.

        Hildegard von Bingen

        Eine Lebensgeschichte

        by Christine Büchner

        Ihr Leben und reichhaltiges Schaffen üben bis heute eine ungebrochene Faszination aus: Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179). Sie war Verfasserin mystisch-visionärer Schriften, Heilpraktikerin und Naturwissenschaftlerin, Predigerin und Komponistin. Ihre Schriften über Medizin und Naturheilkunde machten sie weltberühmt. Gegen viele Widerstände gründete die Benediktiner-Äbtissin ihr eigenes Kloster und stand mit den wichtigsten kirchlichen Würdenträgern ihrer Zeit in Kontakt. Konsequenz im Glauben, Mut und persönliches Engagement kennzeichnen Leben und Werk der Hildegard von Bingen und machen sie über ihre Zeit hinaus zu einer Identifikationsfigur. Christine Büchner hat das Leben dieser außergewöhnlichen Frau porträtiert.

        Containing trauma

        Nursing work in the First World War

        by Christine Hallett, Bertrand Taithe, Penny Summerfield, Peter Gatrell, Max Jones, Ana Carden-Coyne

        In this lucid and cogently-argued book, Christine Hallett explores the nature of the practices developed by nurses and their volunteer-assistants during the First World War. She argues that nurses found meaning in their complex and stressful work by identifying it as a process of 'containing trauma'. Broad in its scope and detailed in its research, the book analyses the work of nurses from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and the United States of America. It draws on highly personal writings: letters and diaries drawn from archives and libraries throughout the world. This wide-ranging book explores a range of treatment scenarios, from the Western and Eastern Fronts to the Eastern Mediterranean, Mesopotamia and India. It considers both the efforts of nurses to provide physical, emotional and moral containment to their patients, and the work they did to maintain their own physical and emotional integrity. ;
