Martini Maria Cristina | MMC Edizioni
MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

September 2001Hellblau
Roman
by Thomas Meinecke
Tillmann verbringt den Sommer in North Carolina. Ein Hurrikan zieht auf. Ein Leuchtturm wird verschoben. Auf dem Meeresboden ruhende Kriegsschiffe bilden die Kulisse für Tauchgänge. Ein hellblauer Badeanzug, ein westafrikanisches Gewand, in Form gebrachte Augenbrauen. Reagan besucht Bitburg. Jüdische Jungen, die den Blues singen, der Antisemitismus der Black-Power-Bewegung und die »Frauen fremder Völker«. Abschiebungen von Asylbewerbern, Streit um die Entschädigung von NS-Zwangsarbeitern, schwarze Aliens. Chicago, Detroit, Mannheim, Berlin, Krakau. Das ist der Kosmos des neuen Meinecke.Nachdem der Autor in The Church of John F. Kennedy Konzepte nationaler Identität in Frage gestellt und seine Figuren im Roman Tomboy in »gender trouble« gebracht hat, kreiselt Hellblau um die Konstruktion ethnischer Identität. Was ist ein Europäer, Afrikaner, Amerikaner, der jüdische Mann? Welche Folgen hat der transatlantische Sklavenhandel für die heutige Technomusik? Was – überhaupt – kann eine Technoplatte erzählen? Und wie politisch ist das? Inwiefern kann die Sängerin Dana International als ehemaliger Junge den Staat Israel beim Grand Prix de la Chanson repräsentieren? Und welche Farbe hat eigentlich Mariah Carey? Tillmann und seine Freundinnen Yolanda und Cordula tauschen E-Mails, Faxe, Platten und Bücher aus. Meinecke vernetzt die Perspektiven seiner Denk-Figuren zu einem polyphonen Textgeflecht.

The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.
