        Dialektischer Negativismus

        Michael Theunissen zum 60. Geburtstag

        by Georg Lohmann, Emil Angehrn, Hinrich Fink-Eitel, Christian Iber

        Unter dem Titel »Am Ende des Baconschen Zeitalters« legt Gernot Böhme Studien vor, die von seiner zwanzigjährigen Bemühung, »mit der Wissenschaft fertig zu werden«, zeugen. Die neuzeitliche Wissenschaft, wie sie von Francis Bacon propagiert wurde, insbesondere die Naturwissenschaft, ist heute als herrschender Denktyp nicht nur für fast alle Problemlösungen, sondern bereits für die Formulierung von Problemen maßgeblich; sie bestimmt über die mit ihr verbundenen Technik das Leben in den fortgeschrittenen Industrienationen bis hinein in den Alltag. Bacons Programm, Wissenschaft zu einer bedeutenden gesellschaftlichen Instanz zu machen und als kollektiven Prozeß der Erzeugung nützlichen Wissens zu organisieren, ist im 20. Jahrhundert endgültig realisiert worden – die von Bacon damit verbundenen Hoffnungen haben sich jedoch nicht erfüllt. Wir sind heute weit entfernt von dem Glauben, daß wissenschaftlich-technischer Fortschritt eo ipso gesellschaftlicher und humaner Fortschritt sei. Am Ende des Baconschen Zeitalters, das ist Böhmes These, kann Wissenschaft und Technik nicht mehr als ein Instrument humanen Fortschritts betrachtet werden, sondern muß als Bedingung gesellschaftlichen Lebens angesehen werden, unter der neu zu bestimmen ist, was heute Humanität heißt: das ist die Situation der technischen Zivilisation.

        Puglia

        Tra Cielo e Mare - Between sea and sky

        by William Dello Russo, Giovanni Simeone, Johanna Huber

        The seafaring heart of the Puglia sends its beat like a tom tom from port to port. And it is a heart made up of small and lively fishing villages that stretch out into the Adriatic and are embraced by it, of whitewashed whitewashed villages, of worn and shiny stone streets. And each one smells of salt and fish. The beach is near the house, the sea almost at home. At dawn, the light imbues the perfect geometric interlocking of houses, churches and castles overlooking the water and illuminates the fishermen who set sail on colorful boats.

        Immanuel

        A Graphic Illustrated Story of the Life of Jesus

        by Jonathan Chong

        Extrect from the Preface:   It has always been my desire to tell and illustrate the Life of Jesus Christ in comic book format ever since I accepted Him as my Savior in my high school years. I read His life and ministry in the four gospels and came to believe that He is indeed the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but through Him. I want to proclaim this truth to all people.   My desire in this book is to tell the wonderful life of Christ as true to the gospels as possible and with fun and lively illustrations. Most of the wordings in this book are taken directly from the gospels of the NET Bible. I only added extra text to help the flow of the story. I also used Johnston M. Cheney’s book, The Life of Christ in Stereo, as a guide to chronicle the life of Christ in the four gospels. One of the great advantages of a comic book is that its visual pictures and images can be understood by any race and age anywhere in the world. With proper translations, these comic book stories can reach many people in many different cultures and countries. My hope and prayer is that this comic book of the life of Christ will be read and enjoyed by children and adults in many parts of the world, and many will come to believe that Jesus is the Christ-Messiah indeed.

        Sombras tras los cristales

        by Mario J. Les

        Late in the summer of 2002, Alex Astrain and Maialen Galdeano, beset by circumstance, decide to get married, reuniting some of their loved ones in a hilarious ceremony marked by an unjustifiable absence. After the wedding, the bride and groom and their closest friends, Fran Dalmau and Lynette Kosgei, depart for their honeymoon trip to the southern cone of Africa, while Simeon and David, the millionaire veteran patrons of their audiovisual society, will take advantage to visit the former Flossenbürg concentration camp in search of answers about Eyal Bérkowitz. There they will bear witness of the confidences of the Krauss brothers, a couple of survivors of the Nazi horror, who long, behind the barbed wire of Flossenbürg, for the last hopes of finding a family treasure that disappeared in November 1938, during the ill-fated Night of the Broken Glass. Together with the Krauss we will live the bitterness and pain of a nightmarish childhood, but we will also witness their fortitude and their desires, in an ambitious staging full of sensitivity and mystery in large doses, where history and fiction meet in a plot of unappealable addictive effects. * * * Avanzado el verano de 2002, Alex Astrain y Maialen Galdeano, acuciados por las circunstancias, deciden casarse, reuniendo a algunos de sus seres queridos en una ceremonia hilarante y marcada por una injustificable ausencia. Tras la boda, los novios y sus amigos más íntimos, Fran Dalmau y Lynette Kosgei, emprenden viaje de luna de miel hacia el cono sur de África, en tanto que Simeón y David, los veteranos millonarios mecenas de su sociedad audiovisual, aprovecharán la semana entrante para visitar el antiguo campo de concentración de Flossenbürg en busca de respuestas sobre Eyal Bérkowitz. Allí serán testigos de las confidencias de los hermanos Krauss, una pareja de supervivientes del horror nazi que alimenta entre las alambradas de Flossenbürg las últimas esperanzas de encontrar un tesoro familiar desaparecido en noviembre de 1938, durante la infausta Noche de Los Cristales Rotos. Viviremos junto a los Krauss la amargura y el dolor de una infancia de pesadilla, pero también seremos testigos de su entereza y de sus anhelos, en una ambiciosa puesta en escena que supura sensibilidad y misterio en grandes dosis, y en la que personajes históricos y ficticios se dan cita en una trama de inapelables efectos adictivos.

        Dobrudja

        German Settlers between the Danube and the Black Sea

        by Josef Sallanz

        The historical region between the Danube delta and the mountainous landscape Ludogorie today is structured as a result of the demarcation of 1940 which divided the region into the North Dobrudja in Romania and the South Dobrudja in Bulgaria. Since ancient times, people have roamed the steppes at the Black Sea towards the south and left a mixture of languages, denominations and everyday culture. From the 7th century BC Greek sailors founded trading colonies on the coast such as Tomis, the present day Constanta, Romanian Constanţa. After 500 years under Ottoman rule in the middle of the 19th century the first Germans came from Bessarabia, bordering the Danube to the north, from the governorate Kherson, from Poland, Volhynia, Galicia and the Caucasus. Reasons were land scarcity, loss of privileges and a intensified russification policy. Today in the Dobrudja live Tatars, Bulgarians, Turks, Lipovans, Ukrainians, Greeks, Germans and Roma next to more than ninety percent Romanians. The historian Josef Sallanz shows which cultural traditions still today shape the region.
