Jules Spinatsch's answer to the traditional distinction between applied & free photography can best be described as a cheerful "do-as-you-please" approach. His independent works express his personal artistic beliefs: they are keen-sighted & probingly experimental, capturing atmospheric moments of Spinatsch's immediate surroundings. His images are of an enthralling beauty, & in his close-ups Spinatsch conveys the relevance & charm of minute details. In his series We Will Never Be So Close Again he portrays motorists snoozing at the wheel--images that border on the ethereal. Brand New Animals deals with the artistic depiction of nature, which Spinatsch introduces to the reader as an alternative world.

Geld riecht eben doch: eine schwarzhumorige Gesellschaftskritik. Inmitten von Kaufrausch und Rabattschlacht wird in der Basler Innerstadt ein Toter gefunden – und zwar kein geringerer als der TV-Philosoph Wohlhauser-McLuhan. Kriminalkommissär Müller Benedikt und seine Equipe ermitteln unter Neidern, Feinden und Freunden des Opfers und stellen fest, dass sich womöglich alles anders verhält, als die ersten Indizien vermuten liessen.
In Prophet, Intermediary, King: The Dynamics of Mediation in the Biblical World and Old Babylonian Mari, Julie B. Deluty investigates the mediation of prophecy for kings in biblical narratives and the Old Babylonian corpus from Mari. In many cases, the prophet’s message is delivered through a third party—sometimes a royal official or family member—who may exercise a degree of autonomy in the transmission of the words. Drawing on social network theory, the book highlights the importance of third-party intermediaries in the process of communication that lies at the core of biblical and ancient Near Eastern prophecy. Recognition of the place of non-prophetic intermediaries in a monarchic system offers a new dimension to the study of prophecy in antiquity.
