Bart van der Heide plädiert mit dieser Publikation dafür, dass Techno-Musik nicht nur als ekstatisches sowie kollektives Erlebnis fungieren, sondern auch als Plattform für gesellschaftskritische Diskurse dienen kann. Welche kulturellen Phänomene und sozialen Veränderungen lassen sich anhand der Techno-Szene ablesen? Wie lassen sich Identitäten erleben bzw. wie greifen diese ineinander? Die Autor*innen dieser Anthologie untersuchen Techno-Musik und ihre Szene anhand aktueller gesellschaftlicher Fragestellungen. Sie arbeiten dabei Tools und Diskursstrategien heraus, wie subkulturelle Plattformen politisch genutzt werden können. Die Publikation TECHNO ist eine Art Call-to-Action zur Infragestellung des Status quo und zum Streben nach sozialer Veränderung. BART VAN DER HEIDE (*1974) ist seit Juni 2020 Direktor des Museion in Bozen. Zuvor war er Leiter des Kunstvereins München und Chefkurator und Head of Research am Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

The loss of a loved one is a devastating and soul-destroying experience. The loss of a dearly beloved parent for a child not yet old enough to reason why, leaves an abyss of pain and confusion and a world that seems unchanged, yet isn't at all the same. Black emptiness and the need to continue as normal, despite the very foundation of life being ripped out from under you, becomes a daily challenge. Attendance at routine events, household chores, school projects, dealing with friends and their inability to deal with your loss any more than you can don't stop, and despite the emptiness and anguish, life goes on. Somehow the pieces have to be picked up, woven into the anguish and meaning restored. Ella's Story evolved out of a school visit to Samson House in Fremantle. Frederick Samson was a third-generation descendant of one of Western Australia's earliest pioneering families and also one of the longest serving mayors of the city of Fremantle in Western Australia. Students at Orana Primary School in Willetton, Western Australia, on a school visit to Samson House, were assigned to write a story about the visit to Samson House. Rather than embark on an account of the visit, the poignancy of the author's pain at the loss of her beloved father has been skillfully woven into Ella's Story, simultaneously delivering a sense of a child's anguish and inexplicable pain in the search for meaning into life's tragedies, the reaching out for a parent, and the agony of not knowing what the future holds. Ella's Story is a child's book, but it opens up a world of insights into the development of a child's anguish in combating one of the real and inevitable challenges likely to be faced by young and old alike as they traverse along life's journey. Excellent reading for both children and adults.
When I realized that I was the last of my siblings, I decided to put pen to paper and began writing the story of my family history all the way back to the late 1800s. This is the story of a husband and wife who emigrated from Mexico to the United States, who became citizens, and then started a family with hopes of educating their children and becoming prosperous and living the American dream. There were many struggles along the way, especially during the depression years. My family had a strong dedication to the patriotism of the United States and volunteered to enter the military and support the cause during World War II. Through my fathers hard work, the family owned a thriving Mexican food products business. Although I faced many obstacles, I was able to overcome them and pursue my dream of a formal education. I obtained my masters degree at age seventy. I have been married to three different husbands, which presented many opportunities for travel, and I have visited many places around the country and around the world. I have two wonderful sons who have been very supportive in my endeavors.

If you have ever gone away to camp, private school, or college, you will relate to some of these experiences. Even if you haven’t, you will enjoy this book and chuckle, as it takes you back 50 years to a somewhat simpler time. Yes, a lot has changed in all that time, but yet, some people and experiences you can still witness today.

“Transfixing…[Wayne’s] prison diary is, above all, a testament to the irrepressibility of his charisma—his is a force that can never go dormant, even when it’s not plainly on display.” –The New Yorker From rap superstar Lil Wayne comes Gone ’Til November, a deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010. In 2010, recording artist Lil Wayne was at the height of his career. A fixture in the rap game for more than a decade, Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) had established himself as both a prolific musician and a savvy businessman, smashing long-held industry records, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and signing up-and-coming talent like Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money label. All of this momentum came to a halt when he was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to a yearlong stay at Rikers Island. Suddenly, the artist at the top of his game was now an inmate at the mercy of the American penal system. At long last, Gone ’Til November reveals the true story of what really happened while Wayne was behind bars, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful. Taken directly from Wayne’s own journal, this intimate, personal account of his incarceration is an utterly humane look at the man behind the artist.
