Ich schreibe Geschichten über Liebe und Tod, über die Existenz Gottes und über die Seele, sagt Jani Virk, der für eine Schriftstellergeneration steht, für die nicht mehr die Verteidigung einer slowenischen Minderheit und ihrer Sprache im Zentrum ihres Schreibens steht. Sie bewegen sich in der lesbischen Subkultur (Suzana Tratnik), haben Erfahrungen als Musiker in einer Punkband (Andrej Blatnik), schreiben in der Tradition der Street Poetry (Dužan ?ater) und beschreiben ein kosmopolitisches Leben, in dem der Diskurs zwischen den Geschlechtern, Liebe, Sexualität und Frauen in der Männerwelt die größte Rolle spielen.

March 2022The Circular Economy and Green Jobs in the EU and Beyond
by Brizga, Janis
The circular economy is a model of production and consumption that is underpinned by a transition to renewable energy and materials. It is a resilient system that is good for business, people and the environment. "The Circular Economy and Green Jobs in the EU and Beyond" examines what the circular economy means, why the transition from a linear economy to a circular one is important, and how we can achieve it. The book offers clarification on the meaning and the implications of the circular economy across different contexts – economic, social, cultural, legal and international. In doing so, it goes beyond simply arguing in favour of a circular economy and critically assesses the political and distributional choices that are made during this transition. Particular emphasis is placed on the implications for jobs and different business models as well as on questions of equity.

June 2021Listening Shift
Transform your organization by listening to your people and helping your people listen to you
by Janie van Hool
In organizations, it’s a miracle our conversations get us anywhere at all – we are constantly distracted by goals, consumed by the draw of emails, multi-tasking in everything that we do. We rush from meeting to meeting, from call to call. We don’t take breaks and we work on the move. Even our downtime is stimulated – videos, social media, noise. We spend about 80% of our day involved in communicating and at least half of that should be listening and yet only 2% of people have ever had any formal training in how to listen. This book supports leaders by showing them how to cut through the noise and listen expertly. It is a constructive toolkit for raising the game in communication with strategies, tools and techniques to implement with confidence. Discover: How to find out how people are feeling. How to set up different modalities of listening in your business How to determine what kind of listener you want to be. How to implement practical tools – using short, medium and longer-term strategies. How to help others listen to you more fully. In a world of remote working, where we need to acknowledge different and minority voices, and where leaders are juggling uncertainty with so many challenges to solve, expertise in listening and communicating in a way that supports listening are more important than ever. The Listening Shift provides the tools you need to create a listening environment where colleagues feel heard and acknowledged, and yet they understand clearly how to move forward.

An Essay for the English Profession on Potentiality and Singularity
by Janis Haswell, Richard Haswell
This is a very smart monograph, and a provocative one, with a powerful essay quality as it weaves back and forth between composition and literature perspectives. Surely there will be contention—highly productive contention. But I was just delighted to be pushed around by this book. —Christiane Donahue, Dartmouth The postmodern conviction that meaning is indeterminate and self is an illusion, though fascinating and defensible in theory, leaves a number of scholarly and pedagogical questions unsatisfied. Authoring—the phenomenological act or felt sense of creating a text—is "a remarkably black box," say Haswell and Haswell, yet it should be one of the central preoccupations of scholars in English studies. Not only can the study of authoring accommodate the "social turn" since postmodernism, they argue, but it accommodates as well conceptions of, and the lived experience of, personal potentiality and singularity. Without abandoning the value of postmodern perspectives, Haswell and Haswell use their own perspective of authorial potentiality and singularity to reconsider staple English-studies concerns such as gender, evaluation, voice, character, literacy, feminism, self, interpretation, assessment, signature, and taste. The essay is unique as well in the way that its authors embrace often competing realms of English studies, drawing examples and arguments equally from literary and compositionist research. In the process, the Haswells have created a Big Idea book, and a critique of the field. Their point is clear: the singular person/mysterious-black-box/author merits deeper consideration than we have given it, and the book's crafted and woven explorations provide the intellectual tools to move beyond both political divisions and theoretical impasses.
