        Auftritt: Die Neue Frau

        by Brigitte Landes

        Ihr Auftreten in der jungen Millionenstadt Berlin mit Smoking, Zigarette, Bubikopf und Auto, als Flapper, Garçonne oder Girl, macht sie zur Ikone der Zwanziger Jahre. Sie spielt selbstbewusst, sachlich, frivol, provozierend und kämpferisch ihre neu errungene Rolle. In Essays, Reportagen und Kolumnen, in Erzählungen, Romanen und in Lebenserinnerungen wirbt und kämpft sie für die Idee von der ›Neuen Frau‹. Für Helen Hessel ist die »Mode eine Waffe im Kampf der Geschlechter«, Fritzi Massary, die »Frau, die weiß, was sie will«, schreibt vom »Glück des Autofahrens«, Marieluise Fleißer denkt nach über »Sportgeist und Zeitkunst«, Vicky Baum boxt und hat keine »Angst vor Kitsch«, Mascha Kaléko erzählt von den »Mädchen an der Schreibmaschine«, Pola Negri will den Männern missfallen, Gabriele Tergit und Else Lasker-Schüler protestieren gegen den §218, Blandine Ebinger und Claire Waldoff erkunden die Nachtseite Berlins, Josefine Baker tut, was ihr passt, und Valeska Gert platzt wie eine Bombe auf die Wilde Bühne, die Trude Hesterberg gegründet hat ... In den aus den unterschiedlichsten Quellen zusammengestellten Texten zeigt sich die neu gewonnene Freiheit mit ihren Licht- und Schattenseiten.

        Der Fall Rivière herausgegeben von Michel Foucault

        Materialien zum Verhältnis von Psychiatrie und Strafjustiz

        by Michel Foucault, Wolf Heinrich Leube

        Michel Foucault und seine Mitarbeiter sind im Zusammenhang von Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der Beziehungen zwischen Psychiatrie und Strafjustiz auf den Fall Rivière gestoßen, über den 1836 eine ungewöhnlich umfangreiche Dokumentation publiziert worden war, u. a. ein Memoire Pierre Rivières über die Beweggründe zu seiner Tat: der Ermordung seiner Mutter, seiner Schwester und seines Bruders. Warum hat sich über diese Dokumentation – und insbesondere über das Memoire Pierre Rivières –, nachdem sie einmal das lebhafte Interesse der Ärzte erregt hatte, alsbald wieder absolutes Schweigen gebreitet? Die Autoren der »Anmerkungen« zu den im ersten Teil des vorliegenden Bandes abgedruckten Dokumenten analysieren einige auf den ersten Blick verdeckte Funktionen der vielfach sich überlagernden, sich kreuzenden und gegeneinander gerichteten Diskurse, die scheinbar alle von derselben Sache sprechen – einem Fall von Verwandtenmord –, gleichzeitig aber Gefechte sind. So kämpfen die Ärzte gegeneinander, gegen die Justiz und gegen Rivière; so kämpft die Justiz u. a. um die Anerkennung medizinischer Gutachten und die Zuerkennung mildernder Umstände; so sind die Zeugenaussagen von Dorfbewohnern auch Versuche, mit dem in ihrer Mitte begangenen Verbrechen fertig zu werden … Das Dossier wurde zusammengestellt, bearbeitet und mit Anmerkungen versehen im Rahmen einer Kollektivarbeit am Collège de France von: Blandine Berret-Kriegel, Gilbert Burlet-Torvic, Robert Castel, Jeanne Favret, Alexandre Fontana, Michel Foucault, Georgette Legée, Patricia Moulin, Jean-Pierre Peter, Philippe Riot, Maryvonne Saison.

        Respiration

        Anatomie - geste respiratoire

        by Blandine Calais-Germa

        There are at least a hundred ways to breathe... and even more... Why are some ways of breathing active while others are passive? How can apnea be at the same time a period of rest and one of intense activity? Breathing is an extremely diversified action. Most of the time, we are not aware of our breathing, because we are so intimate with it, and because it becomes a part of something we are doing – a body movement that entails more than breathing alone. All forms of breathing rely, in the beginning, on two fundamental mechanisms and their variants, which can differ in degree, and combine in any number of ways. This book proposes to explore breathing gestures: by describing the process, explaining the anatomic systems, and identifying the forces at play through the practice of numerous exercises. The reader will learn that there are no bad ways of breathing, that each, in its own way, is important: each will accompany our movement in certain situations, and be appropriate for achieving specific goals. Throughout the book, the reader is called upon to go against the flow and against generally accepted ideas that have been going around about breathing in body-work circles. This manual is written for all professionals who use breathing in their work. - physical therapists, midwives, psychomotor specialists, etc. - P.E. teachers, water-gym instructors, sport techniques, yoga, body consciousness, etc. - professionals in the living arts: music, singing, theatre, dance, mime, circus, etc. - teachers, journalists, lawyers, etc. - phoniatricians, speech therapists, etc. - relaxologists, sophrologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, etc.

        Tita

        by Marie Houzelle

        This book is a delight! - Anne Korkeakivi Like Louise Fitzhugh's classic Harriet the Spy, the story is powered by a precocious and independent loner whose observations and reports are both charming and moving. Tita is a remarkable debut. .- Katharine Weber ...Witty, wry, and clever...I cannot recommend it enough! - Janet Skeslien Charles   This book has a charm so unique and powerful, it pulls you in simply, effortlessly...I loved it.-Nicola Keegan,   There’s nothing simplistic about this novel. Tita is not an exercise in blind nostalgia for a lost past. It is a rich and warm, yet open-eyed portrait of a place and time just beyond our current reach. It’s a book worth savoring.– Judith Starkson – New York Journal of Books Tita is seven, and she wonders what’s wrong with her. She has perfect parents. She puts on plays with her friends, spies on adults, challenges her teacher, even manages to read forbidden books. She should be happy. But she dreams of a time without meals, and keeps worrying about her mother’s whereabouts, spoiling her own life for no reason at all. Tita wants to be good – but how? As her beloved small town vibrates to age-old Latin rituals on the verge of slipping away, Tita finds refuge - and a liberation - in books.
