        Von Beziehungskünstlern und ihrer Liebe

        by Barbara Bechtolsheim

        Marilyn Monroe und Arthur Miller, Yoko Ono und John Lennon, Ingeborg Bachmann und Paul Celan, Susan Sontag und Annie Leibowitz, John Cage und Merce Cunningham … -- zwanzig Paare aus Musik, Kunst und Literatur stellt die Autorin vor und erzählt, wie Kreativität das Miteinander und umgekehrt die Liebe das künstlerische Schaffen beflügeln. Die Lebenswege vieler dieser Paare sind untrennbar miteinander verwoben. Wie gestaltet sich ihr Alltag, gehen sie mit Rivalität und Stress und Verlust um? Wie bewahren sie ihre Liebe und Leidenschaft? Auch bei diesen Künstlerpaaren ist nicht alles perfekt, und darum geht es auch gar nicht. Vielmehr inspirieren Offenheit und Sensibilität, Stetigkeit und Bereitschaft zu Neuem in der Kunst und in der Liebe.

        Empty Mind

        by John Cage, Marie Luise Knott, Walter Zimmermann

        »In welchem Käfig man sich auch befindet, man muß ihn verlassen«, lautete das Credo von John Cage (1912 bis 1992), dem international bekanntesten experimentellen Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Weniger bekannt ist sein literarisches Werk, das gleichberechtigt neben dem musikalischen steht. Cage ließ sich von Erik Satie, Robert Rauschenberg, James Joyce, Merce Cunningham und Marcel Duchamp inspirieren − verwandten Geistern, mit denen er Zeit seines Lebens täglich umging. Indem er seine poetisch-philosphischen Versuche musikalischen Verfahren unterwarf, verwandelte er Vorträge über das Komponieren, über den Zufall oder die Kategorie der Unbestimmtheit in Ereignisse, schwebend, der Festlegung entzogen – nicht anders als die Musik der Absichtslosigkeit, von der er träumte. John Cage als Wortkünstler harrt hierzulande noch der Entdeckung. »Empty Mind« versammelt eine Auswahl poetischer Schlüsseltexte, an denen sich die unerschöpfliche Freude, neue Wege zu gehen, Grenzen zu überschreiten, ablesen läßt. Eine Freude, die ansteckend wirkt − auch auf all jene, die sich noch nie mit seinem Werk beschäftigt haben.

        Unter Freundinnen

        Ein New-York-Roman

        by Laura Shaine Cunningham, Juliane Zaubitzer

        Sechs beste Freundinnen treffen sich in der kältesten Nacht in einem Loft in Downtown, während der "Sturm des Jahrhunderts" über Manhatten hinwegfegt. Die Frauen wollen feiern, denn Claire, sechsunddreißig und Single, ist nun doch noch schwanger geworden. Doch während der australische Rotwein fließt, Handys klingeln und biologische Uhren zurückgestellt werden, kommen Themen auf den Tisch, die keine der Anwesenden unberührt lassen. Die Stimmung kippt. Was fröhlich begann, endet mit Geständnissen und Abrechnungen mit Männern, falschen Freundschaften und verlogenen Lebensentwürfen. Die eine freut sich über einen neuen Liebhaber, die andere verläßt ihren untreuen Ehemann, die dritte beschließt ein Kind zu kriegen. "Six in the City" – beim gemeinsamen Abendessen fliegen Spitzen und Sticheleien über den Tisch. Wer gewinnt – die Romantikerinnen oder die Pragmatikerinnen?

        States of apology

        by Michael Cunningham

        This book offers a critical consideration of the apology in politics. It provides a detailed overview of all aspects of the phenomenon of the apology made by states, which has increased significantly since the mid-1980s. It is the product of a decade's research and reflection on the subject and thus provides a complete coverage of all the key debates and features. States of apology evaluates the relationship between the personal apology and the apology in politics, the political and cultural factors behind its emergence and the philosophical problems generated by the state apologising and in particular the question of responsibility across generations. The book also considers the dynamics of domestic apologies and the relationship of the apology to the field of international relations. It is written in a clear and jargon-free style which will make it accessible to both students and non-students alike. ;

        Making home

        Orphanhood, kinship and cultural memory in contemporary American novels

        by Maria Holmgren Troy, Elizabeth Kella, Helena Wahlström

        Making home explores the figure of the orphan child in a broad selection of contemporary US novels by popular and critically acclaimed authors Barbara Kingsolver, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Marilynne Robinson, Michael Cunningham, Jonathan Safran Foer, John Irving, Kaye Gibbons, Octavia Butler, Jewelle Gomez and Toni Morrison. The orphan child is a continuous presence in US literature, not only in children's books and nineteenth-century texts, but also in a variety of genres of contemporary fiction for adults. Making home examines the meanings of this figure in the contexts of American literary history, social history and ideologies of family, race and nation. It argues that contemporary orphan characters function as links to literary history and national mythologies, even as they may also serve to critique the limits of literary history, as well as the limits of familial and national belonging.
