From Mythos to Logos

Vom Sosein und vom Anderssein
Andrea Brills Liebe zu Rhythmen und Reimen keimte im Kindesalter auf durch die Bilderbücher von Mira Lobe, und erblühte während der Pubertät dank der Poesie von Rilke bis Fried, von Jandl bis Neruda. Ein Lyrikseminar mit Konstantin Wecker, dessen Lieder und Texte sie nun über 35 Jahre durch sämtliche Lebensphasen begleiten, erweckte Andrea Brills Freude am Schreiben (wieder) zum Leben, was schliesslich zu der vorliegenden Gedicht-Sammlung führte. In ihren ebenso gesellschaftskritischen wie sehr persönlichen Texten setzt sich die Autorin häufig mit dem Gefühl des "Irgendwie-Anders-Seins" und "Nicht-Ganz-Dazugehörens" auseinander. Die Fotos sind zum Grossteil irgendwo in den Hügeln zwischen Florenz und Siena, der "Herzensheimat" der Autorin, entstanden.

Andrea del Sarto: Splendor and Renewal in the Renaissance Altarpiece

‘I didn’t want to float; I wanted to belong to something’
This volume fills an important gap in research on the refugees from Nazism who settled in Britain, by giving a full and wide-ranging account of the organizations that they established. The contributions cover these organizations chronologically, from those that did not outlast the war to those still active today, and in terms of their function, as cultural or religious institutions, as historical resources for the study of Nazism and the refugees, or as all-purpose representative refugee associations. Any scholar or student working in this field needs to have an understanding of the organizations that were and are so characteristic of the refugee community.
