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.
Deutsche und italienische Autoren und Autorinnen haben Tandems gebildet und ihre Kurzgeschichten gegenseitig in die eigene Landessprache übertragen. So unterschiedlich die Schreibstile sind, so verschieden ist auch die Art, wie die Geschichten übertragen wurden: übersetzt, frei übersetzt oder kreativ nacherzählt.
"We recognize that we have moved into a new globalism: that the world is one, economically and geopolitically; and that futurists extol the possibilities opened up by the new complex of silicon-based electronic interactive networks. Yet, at the same time, our thinking about who we are and what we are capable of as human beings remains pitifully inadequate and largely determined by nineteenth-century models. Thus, all talk of 'family values,' of 'virtues,' of new forms of collaboration and cooperation tends either to miss the point for to reinforce the most regressive aspects of our technology." ("Spirituality and Social Renewal series introduction) How can we foster the development of initia...

Composition in the University examines the required introductory course in composition within American colleges and universities. According to Sharon Crowley, the required composition course has never been conceived in the way that other introductory courses have been—as an introduction to the principles and practices of a field of study. Rather it has been constructed throughout much of its history as a site from which larger educational and ideological agendas could be advanced, and such agendas have not always served the interests of students or teachers, even though they are usually touted as programs of study that students "need." If there is a master narrative of the history of compo...
A gentle guide for helping readers “over a certain age” discover their best life by finding the right-sized home in the best location. Moving is no fun. Neither is getting rid of stuff. And both jobs get harder as we get older. So, when those over a certain age — say, in the last third of life — are looking to downsize and move all at the same time, many will conclude, “I’ll just stay put, thank you very much.” It’s not just the acquired possessions holding them back, but also the intangibles. Their memories, their family history, their identities are all in jeopardy, they think. And yet, that reluctance to lighten up, let go, and move on is commonly all that stands between t...
