Kommando Johann Fatzer
In einer Zeit, in der eine anonym verfasste Kampfschrift über den 'kommenden Aufstand' zum Beststeller wird und die arabischen Länder durch Revolten und Revolutionen erschüttert werden, deren Funke sich weltweit verbreitet, wird es Zeit, sich auch hierzulande auf die Geschichte vergangener Erhebungen und gescheiterter Revolutionen zu besinnen. Oftmals markieren Meutereien, Befehlsverweigerungen, Ungehorsam den Beginn von Aufständen, die zu radikalen Umwälzungen führten. Bertolt Brechts Fatzer-Fragment handelt von einer Gruppe Deserteure, die im Jahre 1917 beschließen: "Ich mache keinen Krieg mehr." Sie verstecken sich in Mülheim an der Ruhr und warten auf einen "allgemeinen Aufstand ...
Collective Creativity
Collective Creativity combines complex and ambivalent concepts. While ‘creativity’ is currently experiencing an inflationary boom in popularity, the term ‘collective’ appeared, until recently, rather controversial due to its ideological implications in twentieth-century politics.

Bertolt Brecht's Me-ti
Bertolt Brecht's Me-ti, which remained unpublished in his own lifetime, now appears for the first time in English. Me-ti counselled against 'constructing too complete images of the world'. For this work of fragments and episodes, Brecht accumulated anecdotes, poems, personal stories and assessments of contemporary politics. Given its controversial nature, he sought a disguise, using the name of a Chinese contemporary of Socrates, known today as Mozi. Stimulated by his humorous aphoristic style and social focus, as well as an engrained Chinese awareness of the flow of things, Brecht developed a practical, philosophical, anti-systematic ethics, discussing Marxist dialectics, Lenin, Hitler, Sta...
