Un pas de deux, un pas de dieu

Christine Jensen Hogan

'Un Pas de Deux, Un Pas de Dieu' is a play depicting a meeting of Thomas Merton, twentieth-century Catholic monk and author, and Anne Bradstreet, one of the first published Puritan poets in New England. The play is set at Gethsemani, the Abbey in Kentucky, where Merton lived for half his life. The time is six months after his death, the day of the publication of his novel, 'My Argument with the Gestapo'. Merton's abiding interest in the publication of this work, a profound statement against war, is a continuing theme throughout the play. Anne Bradstreet recites a portion of her poem «Contemplations» intruding on Merton's solitude, much to his dismay. She is lost and seeking her home and is frightened by this «popish» monastery she has encountered. Thus the dialogue begins and progresses from concern with outer appearances (Merton had no use for Puritans and Bradstreet had a fear of Catholics), which are so different, to their inner lives, which are very similar. There is a realization that they are possibly in Purgatory and an exchange of thoughts on Salvation and God, church, the role of women, of family, of war and, of course, of writing. The play ends with a scene in which the two share bread, wine, and Trappist cheese. The poetry of each writer is used at times in the play. Bradstreet and Merton were witty, erudite individuals and the dialogue throughout shows their humor.

The Slave's Little Friends

AAVV

The texts included in this anthology illustrate the wide range of possibilities that abolitionist writings offered to American children during the first half of the nineteenth century. Composing their works under the wings of the antislavery movement, authors responded to the unequal and controversial development of abolitionist politics during the decades that led up to the outbreak of the Civil War. These writers struggled to teach children «to feel right,» and attempted to instruct them to actively respond to the injustice of the slavery system as rendered visible by a harrowing visual archive of suffering bodies compiled by both English and American antislavery promoters. Reading was equated with knowledge and knowledge was equated with moral responsibility, and therefore reading about «the abominations of slavery» became an act of emotional personal transformation. Children were thus turned into powerful agents of political change and potential activists to spread the abolitionist message. Invited to comply with a higher law that entailed the breaking of their nation's edicts, they were morally rewarded by the Christian God and approvingly applauded by their elders for their violation of these same American regulations. These texts enclosed immeasurable value for young nineteenth-century Americans to fulfill a more democratic and egalitarian role in their future. Undoubtedly, abolitionist writings for children took away American children's innocence and transformed them into juvenile abolitionists and empowered compassionate citizens.

Truths Up His Sleeve: The Times of Michael Cacoyannis

John Howard

This first critical biography of radio broadcaster, stage director, and auteur filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis examines his prolific body of work within the socio-political context of his times. Best known as a bold modernist for triple-Oscar-winner 'Zorba the Greek', Michael likewise was hailed as an astute classicist for his inventive interpretations of Euripides. Working across several continents and languages, he forwarded feminist, humanist, and pacifist agendas, as he further innovated crafty LGBT narratives of unprecedented artistry and complexity. Despite intense persecution during the Cold War red scare and lavender scare, his casts and crews of frugal cosmopolitans critiqued racism, militarism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. Avoiding censorship, job loss, and jail, Michael thereby laid foundations for the 1990s new queer cinema and set the stage for empowering dramas of socio-economic justice in the third millennium. Over his long life and productive career, Michael exposed and espoused the vital truths up his sleeve.

Jürgen Prommersberger

ALLERWELT TITTEN – AMATEURFRAUEN ZEIGEN SICH NACKT
Dieser Bildband zeigt nackte Frauen. Na und, werden sich jetzt viele fragen. Nackte Frauen….. Das ist doch nichts Besonderes mehr. Falsch. Diese Frauen sind schon besonders. Das sind nämlich keine Hochglanzmodels mit Plastikbrüsten und aufgespritzten Lippen. Das sind ganz normale Frauen. Wie die eine aus dem Nachbarhaus. Oder die andere aus dem Stockwerk über Dir. Das sind zum Teil jüngere Mädels, dann wieder Ladies im besten Alter und dann auch reife Frauen. Da gibt es große und kleine Titten zu sehen. Brüste die mal straff sind und dann wieder Hängebrüste. Das sind Frauen bei, die auch schon den einen oder anderen Rettungsring um die Körpermitte haben. Keine von denen ist perfekt. Aber alle sind stolz auf sich und auf ihren Körper. So stolz, dass sie auch gar nichts dabei finden, sich zu entblättern und sich nackt zu zeigen. Neugierig geworden?

AMATEUR WOMEN GET NAKED
This illustrated book shows naked women. Well, many will ask themselves now. Naked women … .. That's nothing special anymore. Not correct. These women are special. These ladies are not high-gloss models with plastic breasts and Botox made lips. These are normal women. Like the one from the neighboring house. Or the other one from the floor above you. Some are younger girls, then others again are ladies in their prime and then you will see also mature women. There are big and small tits to see. Round breasts and hanging breasts. There are also some women, who are not slim like a model. None of them is perfect. But everyone is proud of themselves and their bodies. So proud that they find nothing to get undressed and show themselves naked. Curious?
