June 2005Schattenhochzeit
Roman
by Ioanna Karystiani, Michaela Prinzinger
Kreta – das ist die Heimat Alexis Sorbas‘, die Insel der Männer in ihren schwarzen Hemden und den weißen Stiefeln, aber auch die Insel der Frauen, die ihre Familien zusammenhalten. An diesen Ort seiner Kindheit kehrt Kyriakos Roussias, angesehener Wissenschaftler in den USA, nach fast 30 Jahren zurück und sieht sich mit dem Gesetz der Blutrache konfrontiert: Die Reihe ist nun an ihm, den Tod seines Vaters zu rächen. Kann er sich diesem archaischen Ritual entziehen? Mit jedem Tag seines Aufenthalts wird ihm das ungeschriebene Gesetz der Vendetta vertrauter, und als es zur Begegnung mit dem Mörder seines Vaters kommt, muss er handeln. »Ioanna Karystiani ist ein fesselnder Roman gelungen, der alle Klischees mit Leichtigkeit vermeidet …« Tilman Spreckelsen, »Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung« »Schattenhochzeit ist ein Sozial-Epos und zugleich ein psychologischer Roman über die Suche nach Identität – mit einer leisen Liebesgeschichte.« »Der Spiegel«

2024My Italy with Berlusconi
And what has become of it. Essays, conversations, reports
by Michaela Namuth
The political era of media entrepreneur and multi-billionaire Silvio Berlusconi began in 1994. German journalist Michaela Namuth also arrived in Rome at that time. He became prime minister, she became a freelance correspondent for various newspapers. She spent the long period of his government with him. During this time, the populist Berlusconi not only paved the way for a far-right government, he was also an ice-breaker for other right-wing populists in Europe and elsewhere. What else happened during and after Berlusconi's time in power is told in 20 chapters of articles, reports and interviews. The result is a colourful mosaic of contemporary Italy. It is about publishing, design, crime fiction, the mafia, a women's factory, the south and Nutella. Under Berlusconi, the country has changed. Many speak of “Berlusconisation”, by which they mean the gradual weakening of democracy. It is a critical book, but also a declaration of love to a contradictory country whose name still has a special ring to many ears.

Migration, immigration & emigrationApril 2014The British in rural France
Lifestyle migration and the ongoing quest for a better way of life
by Michaela Benson
The British in rural France, available at last in paperback, is a study of how lifestyle choices intersect with migration, and how this relationship frames and shapes post-migration lives. It presents a conceptual framework for understanding post-migration lives that incorporates culturally-specific imaginings, lived experiences, individual life histories and personal circumstances. Through an ethnographic lens incorporating in-depth interviews, participant observation, life and migration histories, this monograph reveals the complex process by which migrants negotiate and make meaningful their lives following migration. By promoting their own ideologies and lifestyle choices relative to those of others, British migrants in rural France reinforce their position as members of the British middle-class, but also take authorship of their lives in a way not possible before migration. This is evident in the pursuit of a better way of life that initially motivated migration and continues to characterise post-migration lives. As the book argues, this ongoing quest is both reflective of wider ideologies about living, particularly the desire for authentic living, and subtle processes of social distinction. In these respects The British in rural France provides a unique empirical example of the relationship between the pursuit of authenticity and middle-class identification practices. The book will be of interest to lifestyle migration and migration specialists, sociologists, social anthropologists, human geographers, scholars of tourism, as well as being accessible to individuals with a broader interest in this social phenomenon.
