Pride-Poesie
Beim Lyrikvideo-Wettbewerb "Pride-Poesie" sind über zwei Dutzend wortgewaltige Kurzfilme mit sehr vielseitigen Gedichten über die Liebe und Lebensweisen von homo-, bi-, trans-, inter-, asexuell und genderqueeren Menschen entstanden. Das Buch vereint auf 186 Seiten die humorvollen, nachdenklichen sowie emotionalen Beiträge von 25 deutschsprachigen Autor*innen. Einige von ihnen sind bereits etabliert, manche bei deutschsprachigen Poetry-Slams unterwegs, andere wiederum Neuentdeckungen, doch viele von ihnen selbst queer, was den Eindruck, den "Pride-Poesie" hinterlässt, zutiefst authentisch macht. "Pride-Poesie" ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt von zwei gemeinnützigen Vereinen, die seit vielen Jahren queere Kunst und Kultur fördern: Neue Medien in Kooperation mit homochrom.
Hoffnungsschimmer - Im Dunkel ein Licht
Das Leben hält für jeden von uns wundervolle Momente bereit. Doch jeder Lebensweg führt auch über steinige Pfade. Wir verlieren Menschen, die für uns die Welt bedeuten. Treffen falsche Entscheidungen oder haben Träume, die in so weite Ferne gerückt sind, dass wir das Gefühl bekommen, sie nicht erreichen zu können. In der ersten Hoffnungsschimmer-Anthologie finden Sie Geschichten, Gedichte und Illustrationen über Menschen, denen es ebenso ergeht. Über Kinder, die ihre Ängste überwinden müssen, um ihre Träume leben zu können. Über Kinder, die sich selbst aus einer Hölle befreien, in die sie hineingedrängt wurden. Über Mädchen und Jungen, die schwer krank sind, aber jeden e...
Weathering
Weathering is atmospheric, geological, temporal, transformative. It implies exposure to the elements and processes of wearing down, disintegration, or accrued patina. Weathering can also denote the ways in which subjects and objects resist and pass through storms and adversity. This volume contemplates weathering across many fields and disciplines; its contributions examine various surfaces, environments, scales, temporalities, and vulnerabilities. What does it mean to weather or withstand? Who or what is able to pass through safely? What is lost or gained in the process?
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Edhina Ekogidho – Names as Links
What are the most popular names of the Ambo people in Namibia? Why do so many Ambos have Finnish first names? What do the African names of these people mean? Why is the namesake so important in Ambo culture? How did the long independence struggle affect personal naming, and what are the latest name-giving trends in Namibia? This study analyses the changes in the personal naming system of the Ambo people in Namibia over the last 120 years, starting from the year 1883 when the first Ambos received biblical and European names at baptism. The central factors in this process were the German and South African colonisation and European missionary work on the one hand, and the rise of African nationalism on the other hand. Eventually, this clash between African and European naming practices led to a new and dynamic naming system which includes elements of both African and European origin.

O movimento criativo e pedagógico de Frida Kahlo
Em Frida Kahlo, as relações entre a criação artística e a vida, ou seja, entre o processo criativo e a experiência corporal, são intercambiáveis, traduzidas uma na outra, são sistemas de um mesmo processo. Nessa relação íntima entre o gesto criador e o grito de dor do corpo, as imagens de dentro e as de fora traduzem sua criadora, como se suas experiências tomassem conta de suas imagens, ou suas imagens tomassem conta de suas experiências, tanto no sentido de cuidado como de apoderamento. Imagem da existência da criadora, nós de significações, eixo, centro e mestre do espaço, receptáculo de toda a visibilidade é o corpo nos processos criativos de Frida Kahlo. Poeticamente, partido, ironicamente, nu, vestido, metaforicamente, lastimado, ironicamente, como possibilidade, fantasia, ficção ou realidade, o corpo é, na obra de Frida Kahlo, uma fonte inesgotável a jorrar imagens.

Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
