        »Als ich nachher von dir ging«

        Erotische Gedichte

        by Bertolt Brecht, Pablo Picasso

        „Er (Walter Benjamin) sagte mir, Brecht habe viele obszöne Gedichte geschrieben, von denen er mehrere unter seine besten rechne“, erzählt Gershom Scholem in seinem Erinnerungsband „Walter Benjamin – Die Geschichte einer Freundschaft“. Die vorliegende Auswahl bietet Beispiele dieser „drastischen“ Gedichte Brechts wie „Über die Verführung von Engeln“, die zu seinen Lebzeiten bestenfalls als Privatdrucke kursierten, aber auch bekannte Liebesgedichte wie „Das Lied von Surabaya-Jonny“ oder „Erinnerung an Marie A.“.

        Beef, Bible and bullets

        Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro

        by Richard Lapper, Leighton Pugh

        Backed by Brazil's wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019. Driven by the former army captain's brand of controversial, aggressive rhetoric, the divisive presidential campaign saw fake news and misinformation shared with Bolsonaro's tens of millions of social media followers. Bolsonaro promised simple solutions to Brazil's rising violent crime, falling living standards and widespread corruption, but what has emerged is Latin America's most right-wing president since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Famous for his racist, homophobic and sexist beliefs and his disregard for human rights, the so-called 'Trump of the Tropics' has established a reputation based on his polemical, sensationalist statements. Written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field, Beef, Bible and bullets is a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's unique brand of right-wing populism. Lapper offers the first major assessment of the Bolsonaro government and the growing tensions between extremist and moderate conservatives.

        Der Kellerby-Code

        Thriller | Er hat ein Leben gefunden, für das es zu töten lohnt

        by Jonny Sweet, Thomas Wörtche, Andrea Stumpf

        Ein raffinierter Psychothriller über Klassismus und eine toxische Freundschaftsbeziehung Edward lebt in einer Welt, die er sich nicht leisten kann und zu der er nicht gehört. Um sich beliebt zu machen, kümmert er sich um die Bedürfnisse seiner beiden reichen Freunde aus der Upper Class: Er holt ihre Wäsche aus der Reinigung, putzt und kocht für sie. Er tut alles, um seine absolut schrecklichen »besten Freunde«, Robert und Stanza, bei Laune zu halten, aber auch um seine »niedere Herkunft« und seine Gewaltgeschichte vergessen zu machen. Edward will einfach dazugehören. Allerdings ist Edward seit ihrer gemeinsamen Zeit in Cambridge heimlich in Stanza verliebt. Die erschütternde Entdeckung, dass sie und Robert ein Paar sind und er dann auch noch deren Hochzeit organisieren soll, erregt seinen glühenden Zorn. Seine kleinen Nettigkeiten nehmen eine unheimliche Wendung. Auf dem schicken Landsitz von Stanzas Familie, dem Kellerby House, eskaliert die Situation …

        The politics of identity and civil society in Britain and Germany

        Miners in the Ruhr and South Wales 1890–1926

        by Leighton James, Steven Fielding, John Callaghan, Steve Ludlam

        This study compares the making and remaking of the political identities of the miners' movements in Britain and Germany. Taking the south Wales and Ruhr coalfields as case studies, it focuses on the public discourse of the trade unions and political parties as it was disseminated in local newspapers, trade union publications, pamphlets and election leaflets. It reveals how the miners' movements used ideas such as class, religion, the 'people' or Volk, socialization and nationalization to construct organizational identities during the turbulent period between 1890 and 1926. These concepts were crucial not only in the formation and self-identity of the miners' trade unions, but also in the way they interacted with employers and the state. They adapted and changed over time as the miners' movements reacted to war, economic depression and increasing industrial conflict. The book contends that these identities were not simply the result of structural factors, but were formed at the juncture where cultural, political and sociological forces intersect. Examining this intersection through discourse analysis and the concept of the 'lifeworld', the book brings together the social world of the miners and the realm of organized politics to advance historical understanding of two of the most important elements in the most powerful labour movements in Europe. ;
