Dieser Band ist der Versuch, zwei Richtungen experimenteller Literatur dazu zu bringen, sich gegenseitig ihre Verbundenheit einzugestehen. Ihre Mittel und Methoden ähneln sich häufig, ihre Referenzgrößen und ihre Überzeugungen, was den Status von Text, Autor und Performance in der Literatur der Gegenwart angeht, sind oft dieselben. Und doch werden diese Richtungen, obwohl viele ihrer Vertreter*innen sich in beiden Traditionen zuhause fühlen und auf sie Bezug nehmen, selten zusammen gedacht. Die Rede ist vom konzeptuellen Schreiben einerseits und digitaler Literatur andererseits. Mit Beiträgen von René Bauer, Ranjit Bhatnagar, Andreas Bülhoff, Buffy Cain, J. R. Carpenter, Florian Cramer, Peter Gendolla, Zuzana Husárová, Swantje Lichtenstein, Nick Montfort, Allison Parrish, Vanessa Place, Jörg Piringer, Janja Rakus, Bertram Reinecke, Anna Seipenbusch, Holger Schulze, Daniel Scott Snelson, Beat Suter, Caitlin Quintero Weaver und Gregor Weichbrodt.
"Die Geschichtenerzähler machen weiter" – so bewies sich Anfang der 70er Jahre Rolf-Dieter Brinkmann das Morgen im Heute, "wie die Songs weitermachen"; und nicht nur die. Alles und alle machten weiter; dabei scheint der Grund weniger als die Art der Westwärtsbewegung verschieden. Weiter macht, wer muss. Nur wie? Macht, wer einfach weitermacht, zugleich Schluss mit dem Feuer des ersten Tages? Oder ist das Weiter einfach nur der zweite Schritt nach dem ersten beschwingten? Um's Weitersingen, resigniert oder notgedrungen, geht es in diesem Heft – und um die, die noch immer am Regler drehn, wenn die Party schon aus ist; die oft kaum merkliche Zuversicht, die im keep on des keep on keepin' on liegt.

In a racially polarized classroom in 1970 Alabama, Lu’s talent for running track makes her a new best friend — and tests her mettle as she navigates the school’s social cliques. Miss Garrett’s classroom is like every other at our school. White kids sit on one side and black kids on the other. I'm one of the few middle-rowers who split the difference. Sixth-grader Lu Olivera just wants to keep her head down and get along with everyone in her class. Trouble is, Lu’s old friends have been changing lately — acting boy crazy and making snide remarks about Lu’s newfound talent for running track. Lu’s secret hope for a new friend is fellow runner Belinda Gresham, but in 1970 Red Grove, Alabama, blacks and whites don’t mix. As segregationist ex-governor George Wallace ramps up his campaign against the current governor, Albert Brewer, growing tensions in the state — and in the classroom — mean that Lu can’t stay neutral about the racial divide at school. Will she find the gumption to stand up for what’s right and to choose friends who do the same?
La novela gráfico de Lila Quintero-Weaver que obtuvo amplio reconocimiento crítico. Por medio de impresionantes ilustraciones, la autora ofrece una memoria cautivante y conmovedora de la infancia, las relaciones raciales, la etnicidad y la identidad en el sur de los Estados Unidos. Sus dibujos de estilo sutil, pero efectivo, refuerzan dramáticament una sentida narración. En 1961, cuando la autora tenía cinco años, su familia salió de Buenos Aires, Argentina, para emigrar a los Estados Unidos y establecerse en Marion, un pueblo en el corazón del Black Belt de Alabama. En una región definida por la segregación racial, la familia Quintero, por su condición de clase media educada, se ...
Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes is the first comprehensive review of a field that has not yet received the attention it deserves. Affecting the brain as well as the circulating red cells, these multi-system disorders in the past had often been mistaken for Huntington's disease. Recent breakthroughs have now identified the molecular basis of several of these. This volume grew out of the first international scientific meeting ever devoted to neuroacanthocytosis and provides in-depth information about the state of the art. Its thirty chapters were written by the leading authorities in the field to cover the clinical as well as the basic science perspective, including not only molecular genetics but also experimental pharmacology and cell membrane biology, among others. The book vehemently poses the question of how the membrane deformation of circulating red blood cells relates to degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, the basal ganglia, in particular. It provides a wealth of data that will help to solve an intriguing puzzle and ease the suffering of those affected by one of the neuroacanthocytosis syndromes.
The first collection to explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics, and the nature of science together Thanks to breakthroughs in production and food science, agribusiness has been able to devise new ways to grow more food and get it more places more quickly. There is no shortage of news items on hundreds of thousands of hybrid poultry—each animal genetically identical to the next—packed together in megabarns, grown out in a matter of months, then slaughtered, processed and shipped to the other side of the globe. Less well known are the deadly pathogens mutating in, and emerging out of, these specialized agro-environments. In fact, many of the most dangerous new diseases in human...
