Neue Erzählungen aus Slowenien
by Mitja Cander, Mitja Cander, Unda Hörner, Aleš Šteger, Aleš Šteger, Ludwig Hartinger, Erwin Koestler, Andrej Leben, Klaus Detlef Olof, Astrid Phillipssen, Peter Scherber, Miha Vrbinc, Jože Suhadolnik
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.

Storie di ragazze che hanno alzato la voce

But the moment to tell them has arrived. That’s why Rocket Girls is first of all a request for attention. A reading that encourages us to look beyond labels and consider female music not a genre in itself, but a world as rich and multi-faceted as the male one. You will meet fifty women who have fought the patriarchy of rock. One song for every artist, from the ’50s to this day.Nina Simone, M.I.A., Lauryn Hill, Saint Vincent, Madonna, Fiona Apple, Patti Smith, Joni Mitchell, Björk, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, Siouxie, Courtney Love, Janis Joplin, Marianne Faithfull, Nico, Sinead O’Connor, Whitney Houston, Cat Power, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Cher, and many more.

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.

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.

The Arts: General IssuesNovember 2020The Seekers
Meetings with Remarkable Musicians
by John Densmore
The iconic drummer of The Doors investigates his own relationship with creativity and explores the meaning of artistry with other artists and performers in this compelling and spellbinding memoir. Whether it's the curiosity that blossoms after we listen to our favorite band's newest record, or the sheer admiration we feel after watching a knockout performance, many of us have experienced art so pure-so innovative-that we can't help but wonder afterwards: "How did they do that?" And yet, few of us are in a position to be able to ask those memorable legends where their inspiration comes from and how they translated it into something fresh and new. Fortunately for us, this book is here to offer us a bridge. In The Seekers, John Densmore-the iconic drummer of The Doors and author of the New York Times bestseller Riders on the Storm-digs deep into his own process and draws upon his privileged access to his fellow artists and performers in order to explore the origins of creativity itself. Weaving together anecdotes from the author's personal notebooks and experiences over the past fifty years, this book takes readers on a rich, thought-provoking journey into the soul of the artist. By understanding creativity's roots, Densmore ultimately introduces us to the realm of everyday inspirations that imbue our lives with meaning. Inspired by the classic spiritual memoir Meetings with Remarkable Men, this book is fueled by Densmore's abundant collection of transformative experiences-both personal and professional-with everyone from Ravi Shankar to Patti Smith, Jim Morrison to Janis Joplin, Bob Marley to Gustavo Dudamel, Lou Reed to Van Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis to his own dear, late Doors bandmate Ray Manzarek. Ultimately, the result is not only a look into the hearts and minds of some of the most important artists of the past century-but a way for readers to identify and ignite their own creative spark, and light their own fire.
