Friedrich Hölderlin is probably André Butzers favorite poet and ranks alongside Walt Disney and Henri Matisse among his favorite people ever. His identification with the poet goes even further, as Hölderlins day of death is Butzers own birthday. As Butzer moved to Los Angeles, the land of his youthful dreams, for the first time in 2001, he got homesick. The home he longed for lay neither in the old world nor in the new. In California, he read Hölderlins Hyperion and was shaken: As I read, I felt that I understood every word. I thought these words came from me. Butzer recognizes himself in Hölderlins fateful protagonist and invents the figure of the homeless Wanderer. His home is in painting, and so he sets off down Hyperion Avethe street on which The Walt Disney Studio opened in 1926. According to Butzer, Hölderlin, just like Disney, expresses longings. And these can be put to use. For Hölderlin, poetry is the place that makes human existence on earth possible. For Butzer, it is painting. In poetry, he finds succor to settle and reconcile the extreme contradictions of the world through his painting. In this artists book, Butzer has compiled 47 poems written by Hölderlin between 1793 and 1843 on the four seasons. These poems link the cycle of the seasons with mans path of life like a parable: the autumnal fulfillment of summers maturation, the blossoming of life in spring and the experienced barrenness of winter. The poems may sound simple, but in them Hölderlin gives shape to human endurance in seemingly hopeless conditions: hope, doubt, wonder, longing, love. Matters of the heart, simple, lucid and vulnerable. Just take Hölderlins beloved Diotima. In Untitled (Diotima), she gazes towards a place hidden from our view. Is she looking into her innermost self or into the inaccessible distance? Seeing her see, we recognize ourselves in her gaze. To accompany the poems, Butzer has created 40 watercolors. His iconic charactersthe Wanderer, the Woman, the Peace-Siemenscyclically fade and reappear in the delicate colors. Each figure, each thing, each stroke, each patch and each hue of color carries itself. Yet time and again, a fragile harmony emerges from their contrary bonding. The book does neither adhere to the chronological everyday time nor the factual succession of the seasons. Instead, Butzer has placed the poems and watercolors intuitively, forming open constellations. This corresponds to Hölderlins wackily fantastic dating, in which a poem from 1843, for instance, can be attributed to 1758, 1648 or 1940. In the persistent poetic time, the past and the future are one complete whole. In unison words and images ponder mans dwelling upon this earth, in the humblest and most poetic way. Autorid: Friedrich Hölderlin, André Butzer, Alta L. Price

The Day They Ate The Zoo is James Ellerys record of his senior military UN appointments in two of Africas most volatile and violent countries written with insight, honesty and a light touch. In 1999, after a successful career in the Army, Ellery was chosen to establish a new UN mission in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. With nations from across the continent fighting for a share in the countrys vast mineral wealth, it required all of Jamess diplomatic and military skills to ensure the mission was a success in spite of the machinations of the Congolese authorities. Less than two years later, Ellery was selected for another demanding appointment in Africa this time in Sierra Leone. His candid despatches document his time as Chief of Staff of the 17,500 strong UN peacekeeping force. As the country strove to right itself after a decade of civil war, James played a pivotal role in ensuring free and fair democratic elections and bringing the major players to book in the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

Blood may be thicker than water, but is family more important than the truth? London, August 1759. Lizzie Hardwicke, society harlot and occasional investigator for the magistrate, is shaken by an encounter with her estranged brother during a riotous evening hosted by the notorious Devil's Brotherhood. Beyond the opulence of this Mayfair party, a streetwalker is found strangled on the doorstep of a well-known moral campaigner, her cheek branded with the letter V. When more girls are discovered dead and similarly marked, Lizzie fears that someone stalks the streets with a violent hatred of women, and as the evidence begins to point to her own brother, any remaining family loyalty she has is severely tested. Her past catches up with her and her future becomes increasingly dangerous, yet Lizzie is still unaware of darker plots being hatched in the shadows by those who wish to silence her for good. This time, the consequences of her investigations will lead her to a place where even Will Davenport, the one man she trusts, won't be able to find her. The fourth instalment of the gripping and vividly imagined historical mystery series set in 18th-century London, from the author of acclaimed historical novel The Dazzle of the Light. Perfect for fans of The Household by Stacey Halls and Daughters of the Night by Laura Shepherd-Robinson, as well as readers of Laura Purcell, Sarah Waters and Diana Gabaldon.

Would you start another diet if you knew it would probably fail? Would you love your body if our culture didn't tell you it was wrong? Lotta Dann's journey with extreme dieting and drastic weight loss led to endless praise for her skinny body. But no one knew what she had to do to maintain it. When the weight came back on, Lotta started asking fundamental questions that she'd never considered before. Why do we believe that to be healthy you must be skinny? Why do we think any measure of fat on our body is bad? Why do so many of us hate our bodies? And why do we spend so much time, money and energy trying to shrink ourselves? The answers surprised her, angered her, and ultimately empowered her. She thinks they will do the same for you. Autorid: Lotta Dann

Travel is easier, more accessible, and more tempting than ever before in today's world. But what impact is our globetrotting having on local communities and the environment? From his own experiences spending time in countries from Spain to Argentina to Japan, travel writer Daniel Maurer has seen first-hand the impact of growing cultural homogenization and anger at the tourists driving it. Speaking to locals and immigrants, activists and protestors, he hears of the problems of rising living costs, overcrowding, anti-social behaviour and the erosion of local traditions and ways of life caused by overtourism. Some cities already have plans in place to combat it, including tourist taxes, carbon emission targets and Airbnb bans, and in the coming years, more will take drastic measures to tackle not only a flood of tourists but of a growing worldwide workforce of location-independent professionals." Technological advances are also changing the way we interact with the world, and the future promises amazing things from flying cars to VR headsets to AI travel influencers and chatbots. But theres a constant battle between technology making things more easily accessible, and the need to reduce human impact on the world. What choices might we make when it comes to travelling in the future, and can we become more impact-conscious, making more sustainable and thoughtful decisions? Autorid: Daniel Maurer

Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Alaïa, the photographer and the couturier, were united by their love of black, a love that they would cultivate alike in silver print and solid color garments. Lindbergh ceaselessly turned to black and white to signify his search for authenticity in the faces he brought to light. Alaïa drew on the monochrome of timeless clothes to create veritable sculptures for the body. In this book, the unique dialogue between the two artists is immortalized in print. Illustrating their community of spirit, its images are a celebration of their artistic partnership and testament to their history-making achievements in photography and fashion. Despite their geographically opposed origins, Lindbergh and Alaïa pursued similar horizons. At the same time as Lindberghs reputation in Germany was growing thanks to his work in Stern magazine, and he set up his studio in Paris in 1978, Alaïa was the couturier shrouded in discretion whose sophisticated techniques were a treasured secret amongst the most important clients of Haute Couture. Alaïa became the architect of bodies, revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by shining a light on their soul and personality. Step by step, they became the creators that dominated their respective disciplines. Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject, and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of powerful collaborations. Shared inspirations and aesthetic values are visible throughout their work. A beach in Le Touquet and the streets of old Paris reference a mutual love of black and white cinema and vast panoramas. The backdrop of an engine room illustrates the memory of an industrial German landscape for one and references the inordinate passion for functional design and architecture held by the other. Alaïas clothes act as pedestals for the smiles and eyes of the women who wear them: Nadja Auermann, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell, Anna Cleveland, Dilone, Lucy Dixon, Vanessa Duve, Helene Fischer, Pia Frithiof, Jade Jagger, Maria Johnson, Milla Jovovich, Lynne Koester, Ariane Koizumi, Yasmin Le Bon, Madonna, Kristen McMenamy, Tatjana Patitz, Linda Spierings, Tina Turner, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Lindsey Wixson. For Lindbergh, who built his notoriety on the images of these supermodels, the authenticity of their traits is all that matters. The result is a potent black and white catalogue that reverberates with truthfulness and beauty. With contritutions by Fabrice Hergott, director of the Musée dArt Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paolo Roversi, photographer, and Olivier Saillard, fashion historian and director of the Fondation Azzedine Alaïa, Paris.

A cross-disciplinary perspective of the medial, aesthetic, and material aspects of submerging, as well as its methodological qualities as a resistant practice and figure of thought. Whether it is the ocean, the ground, or soil, a metaphorical or symbolic underworld, or a political figure of thought, the subsurface intervenes in recent debates about ecological, social, and postcolonial conflicts and power inequalities in the humanities and beyond. However, turning to the unstable grounds of the subterranean always involves a conceptual or methodological movement and a practice of submersion, and thus a critical reflection on the conditions, technologies, aesthetics, and politics of knowledge production. It is precisely at this point that this volume picks up with approaches from the fields of artistic practice as well as media studies, art history, queer theory, and decolonial studies. From this transdisciplinary perspective, this anthology explores the medial, aesthetic, and material aspects of sub(e)merging, as well as its potential as a resistant practice and figure of thought: from submerging to emerging.

An astonishing new narrative of Mandu Yenu, a throne from the ancient Kingdom of Bamum. Most of the time, it is the power of men that we remember. With these words, which open Léonora Mianos text for Objects Talk Back, an astonishing new narrative unfurls around Mandu Yenu, a throne from the ancient Kingdom of Bamum (present day Cameroon). The Germans long claimed the object was a gift from King Njoya to Kaiser Wilhelm II. Miano reads between the lines of beads and cowrie shells to show the complex intricacies of colonial and gender relations. Dismissing all pretense of egalitarianism between colonizer and colonized, she hones in on the very nature of powerhow and by whom it is defined-wielded-subverted. King Njoya said he felt like a woman in his relationship with the Germans. Miano takes this as a prompt to examine contrasting cultural notions of femininity and thus reveals how central women are to the story of the throne. As the very name of the object suggests, it is the power of women we should remember. Autorid: Léonora Miano

A narrative of the early modern Indian sculpture known as the Mithuna couple. Meena Kandasamy writes about the Mithuna couple, a seventeenth-century ivory sculpture from Tamil Nadu, India, depicting lovers. Kandasamy unfurls a multi-layered, multi-directional narrative built from images, questions, and contradictions evoked by the sculpture. “How can we look at this work and not talk about who produced it?” Kandasamy asks and then examines how caste and class are carved into the object as indelibly as its physical details. Such knowledge complicates easy associations of love that may be evoked by the couple. Refusing any impulse to idealize or exoticize, Kandasamy connects the carving to personal and political stories that expose painful realities of who gets to love whom, and how. She sets the intimate alongside the institutional to interrogate terms such as decolonize, restitution, and preservation. Through an astonishing stylistic mix, including Twitter, academic discourse, poetry, and memoir, she talks back, forward, and sideways with the object. Autorid: Meena Kandasamy

A reflection on the reconstruction of the Berlin Palace and its contradictory use as an ethnological museum. Having recently accepted German citizenship, writer and activist Priya Basil explores the Humboldt Forum from a deeply personal perspective. She delves into the question of what such a building, such a project, means for an understanding of the past and for belonging in the present. This much disputed, contested, celebrated monument now exists—but what exactly does it monumentalize? Basil writes, “In German, the word Schloss means a palace, and also a lock. The central question: Can a lock also be a key?” Autorid: Priya Basil

A fascinating exploration of the Goddesses, and women of Greek mythology, in relation to the astrological signs. Offering a new and insightful discussion into the subjects of both Greek mythology and astrology, Elisabeth Brooke skilfully intertwines the two to create an original and captivating exploration of the female experience. It expresses a deep appreciation that womens lives are not all the same and should not be put into the same overused stereotypes; instead, it offers a refreshing perspective of female archetypes, illustrated by the lives of extraordinary women both alive and dead, which women everywhere will relate to. Each chapter of this book follows one of the twelve Astrological Signs, seven traditional planets, as well as the Houses and Aspects. The connection to a Goddess of Greek mythology is detailed for each of these, providing an illuminating and engrossing background to the Greek myths and Goddess lore. The chapters bridge the gap between ancient and modern, exploring more recent examples of brave, strong, and empowering women for each of the Astrological Signs. The book can be read straight through as an exploration of the Goddesses and Astrology, and as a reference book for both astrological studies and historical Goddess lore. Goddess Astrology also contains excerpts from classical texts, newly translated by the author Elisabeth Brooke. Autorid: Elisabeth Brooke

Gay culture has become a nightmare of consumerism, whether it's an endless quest for Absolut vodka, Diesel jeans, rainbow Hummers, pec implants, or Pottery Barn. Whatever happened to sexual flamboyance and gender liberation, an end to marriage, the military, and the nuclear family? As backrooms are shut down to make way for wedding vows, and gay sexual culture morphs into “straight-acting dudes hangin' out,” what are the possibilities for a defiant faggotry that challenges the assimilationist norms of a corporate-cozy lifestyle? Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots? challenges not just the violence of straight homophobia but the hypocrisy of mainstream gay norms that say the only way to stay safe is to act straight: get married, join the military, adopt kids! Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore reinvokes the anger, flamboyance, and subversion once thriving in gay subcultures in order to create something dangerous and lovely: an exploration of the perils of assimilation; a call for accountability; a vision for change. A sassy and splintering emergency intervention! Called "startlingly bold and provocative" by Howard Zinn, and described as "a cross between Tinkerbell and a honky Malcolm X with a queer agenda" by The Austin Chronicle, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore is undoubtedly one of America's most outspoken queer critics. She is the author of two novels, including, most recently, So Many Ways to Sleep Badly, and is the editor of four nonfiction anthologies, including Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity and That's Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation. America's most outrageous queer theorist offers up a juicy alternative to gay assimilationist culture! Autorid: Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore

Over the past three decades, only 31 middle-income countries have transitioned to high income. How can the 108 countries that are currently at the middle stage of development avoid the 'middle-income trap' and become highly developed? Building on 30 years of analysis, World Development Report 2024 sets out three guiding principles for policies that countries at the middle stage of development will need for growth (i) to become more sophisticated by making the most of knowledge diffusion and imitating at scale; (ii) to promote a contestable economy that facilitates greater economic and social mobility; and (iii) to effectively discipline incumbent firms and economic elites through market regulations that allow innovation to thrive.The report will analyze these principles through the forces of creative destruction that shape the transformation of enterprises, expectations of the middle class, and the portfolio of energy sources. The report's framework will propose how the forces of creation (from both entrants and incumbent firms), destruction (of outdated arrangements), and preservation (of existing norms and institutions) can be balanced to speed up progress.

In the fall of 1982, the Utah town of Orvop witnessed not just shocking crimes but an astonishing adventure beyond its borders, where the dead rose, a mountain fell, and a staggering act of courage forever marked the Katanogos massif and Pillars Meadow in legend. "A magisterial, page-turning epic about a young boy and girl and their journey through the icy mountains of Utah to lead two horses to freedom"-- Hard to figure how so much awful horror could've started out with just them two horses and not a one yet named...From the bestselling author of House of Leaves comes a magisterial novel about two friends determined to rescue a pair of horses set for slaughter.While folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of Orvop, Utah, back in the fall of 1982, not to mention the trials that followed, far more remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines.For sure no one expected the dead to rise, but they did. No one expected the mountain to fall either, but it did. No one expected an act of courage so great, and likewise so appalling, that it still staggers the heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif, to say nothing of Pillars Meadow. As one Orvop high school teacher described that extraordinary feat just days before she died, Fer sure no one expected Kalin March to look Old Porch in the eye and tell him: You get what you deserve when you ride with cowards.
