Videobeschreibung Wenn Sie sich auch nur ein bisschen auskennen in der deutschen Literatur, genügen Ihnen zwei, drei Sätze, um einen Text von Thomas Mann, von Franz Kafka, von Thomas Bernhard oder von Peter Stamm zu erkennen. Obwohl alle vier in derselben Sprache schreiben, drücken sie sich völlig unterschiedlich darin aus. Anders gesagt: Ihr Sprachstil unterscheidet sich. Auf Englisch spricht man von der eigenen Stimme, «his own voice». Das ist ein schöner Ausdruck: Mein eigener Sprachstil ist tatsächlich meine eigene Stimme. Diese individuelle sprachliche Stimme ist keine Einbildung: Der Sprachstil lässt sich mathematisch vermessen. Wie gut das funktioniert, zeigte 2013 der Fall um den Roman «The Cuckoo's Calling», also: Der Ruf des Kuckucks, von einem Autor namens Robert Galbraith. Bald wurde gemunkelt, es handle sich dabei um ein Pseudonym von J.K. Rowling. Ein amerikanischer Computerlinguist analysierte die Sprache des Romans und verglich ihn mit J.K. Rowlings Büchern und mit Werken anderer Krimiautorinnen. Die sprachstatistische Analyse zeigte, dass der Roman stilistisch deutlich näher bei J.K. Rowling lag als bei jeder der Vergleichsautorinnen. Wir alle erzeugen beim Schreiben offenbar einen eindeutigen sprachlichen Fingerabdruck, eine Sprachsignatur, die unseren Stil oder eben: unsere sprachliche Stimme ausmacht. Doch diese eigene Stimme ist in Gefahr: Die redigierende und korrigierende KI mittet Sprache ein und bügelt Eigenheiten weg. Wir hinterlassen sprachlich keine Fingerabdrücke mehr – es ist, als würden wir alle Plastikhandschuhe tragen beim Schreiben. Ich zeige Ihnen deshalb diese Woche, welche Elemente den eigenen Sprachstil ausmachen und ich biete Ihnen mit meinem Stil-O-Meter ein digitales Werkzeug, mit dem Sie Ihren eigenen Sprachstil vermessen und verbessern können.woko2624Matthias Zehnder ist Autor und Medienwissenschaftler in Basel.

Join - Boy to Man: https://www.gandhiuniversity.com/manIn this episode, we go over one of the most common problem us men face i.e. being ambitious but lazy. We dream so dream and even find pride in having so much potential and thinking differently, yet we also feel insecure because we have nothing to back this attitude up. Most men think they have a motivation problem. They don't. They have a comfort addiction problem.You dream about success, money, status, discipline, a better body, a powerful mindset, and becoming the man everyone respects. But every day your actions are training you to choose convenience over growth. The harsh reality: ambition without discipline creates frustration. You know what you want, but you don't become the person capable of achieving it.In this video, you'll learn:- Why ambitious men stay stuck and inconsistent- The psychology of laziness and procrastination- How dopamine addiction destroys focus and discipline- Why motivation is overrated- How successful men build self-discipline- The mindset shift that turns boys into men- Practical habits for productivity, consistency, and self-improvementThe gap between where you are and where you want to be is not talent. It's daily standards.Watch until the end if you're serious about success, masculine growth, productivity, discipline, confidence, and becoming the strongest version of yourself.Join Boy to Man: https://www.gandhiuniversity.com/man0:00 Franz Kafka's self doubt0:52 How a thought becomes action3:00 Ambitious but lazy people's problem3:58 This is not about discipline 5:00 Don't enter hard work directly7:03 Rome's worst emperor8:40 Build power10:00 Breakthrough boredom10:50 Boy to Man's mindset11:46 Self doubt creates Self sabotage15:00 DetachmentJoin Boy to Man: https://www.gandhiuniversity.com/manSaurabh Gandhi is a Men's Psychology expert & well known self-help content creator.

260603PC Ein schwarzer TagMensch Mahler am 03.06.2026Am 3. Juni ist viel passiert. Leider viel Negatives. Das schwerste Zugunglück in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland geschah am 3. Juni 1998: Die Zugkatastrophe bei Eschede. Während der Fahrt des ICE 884 «Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen» bricht kurz vor 11.00 Uhr bei Eschede in Niedersachsen ein Radreifen wegen Materialübermüdung. Der Zug, der sich auf dem Weg von Hannover nach Hamburg befindet und mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 200 Kilometern pro Stunde fährt, entgleist und prallt gegen die Pfeiler einer 200 Tonnen schweren Brücke, die einstürzt. 101 Menschen sterben, 88 werden schwer verletzt. Am 3. Juni 1924 stirbt Franz Kafka im Sanatorium Kierling bei Klosterneuburg im Alter von 40 Jahren. Als offizielle Todesursache wird Herzversagen festgestellt. Begraben wird er auf dem Neuen Jüdischen Friedhof in Prag. Franz Kafka war ein deutschsprachiger jüdischer Schriftsteller aus Prag, dessen visionäre Romane und Erzählungen zu den bedeutendsten Werken der Weltliteratur gehören. Kafka war – wie so viele expressive Menschen – körperlich und seelisch nicht gesund. Am 3. Juni 1963 starb der Lächelnde Papst Johannes der 23. Er saß vom 28. Oktober 1958 bis zu seinem Tod vier Jahre und sieben Monate auf dem Papststuhl. Er galt als bescheiden und verbündete sich immer wieder mit einfachen Leuten. Im Volksmund wird er Il Papa buono genannt: der gute Papst. 3. Juni 1989: Tod von Ajatollah Chomeini, politischer und religiöser Führer der Islamischen Revolution von 1979, danach bis zu seinem Tod iranisches Staatsoberhaupt.Und schließlich 3.6. 2016: Tod von Muhammad AliAli war dreifacher Schwergewichtsboxweltmeister. Das Internationale Olympische Komitee wählte Ali 1999 zum «Sportler des Jahrhunderts». Der 1.91 Meter grosse Muhammad Ali, als Cassius Clay geboren, litt ab 1984 an Parkinson. Hosted on Acast.

Work is full of communication. Slack messages. Zoom calls. Meetings stacked on meetings. But many teams still struggle to do the one thing that matters most: connect in ways that build trust, insight, and better thinking together. It's like we're starving at a buffet.rnrnAnn Kowal Smith, founder and CEO of Reflection Point, will argue that a successful future (at work and beyond) depends not only on new technology, but on enduring human capacities: listening, empathy, curiosity, challenging assumptions, and disagreeing respectfully. Reflection Point helps organizations develop these five skills through shared discussions about literature, using stories as a practical tool for culture building and stronger collaboration.rnrnJoining Ann is Randell McShepard, Vice President of Public Affairs and Chief Talent Officer at RPM, who will discuss why his company sees these critical capacities as essential to leadership, culture, and performance.rnrnJoin us at the City Club for a unique forum featuring a live Reflection Point demonstration using a provocative short story. Together, the conversation will show how stories can help teams think more deeply, relate more honestly, and work better together.

Hoy hablamos de la obra de Franz Kafka, los sueños y pesadillas recurrentes en sus relatos y novelas, mundos en los que las leyes racionales se transforman de forma surrealista y laberíntica y el individuo experimenta una sensación constante de extrañamiento. Esa atmósfera onírica no fue un mero recurso estético; contribuyó a modificar la manera en que la cultura moderna comprendió la subjetividad, el inconsciente y la fragilidad psicológica del individuo contemporáneo. También leemos su breve relato: "Un sueño", como ejemplo de la relación de su literatura con el mundo onírico. Aquí podéis encontrarlo para su lectura: https://ciudadseva.com/texto/un-sueno-kafka/Esperamos que disfruteis del programa tanto como nosotros, buenas noches Navegantes...

Diese Quellen bieten einen tiefgehenden Einblick in das klassische Weimar und das Leben bedeutender literarischer Wegbereiter wie Goethe, Schiller und Kafka. Während ein Reiseführer die architektonischen Denkmäler und den kulturellen Status Weimars als UNESCO-Welterbe hervorhebt, konzentrieren sich die Transkripte auf die biografischen Analysen des Philosophen Rüdiger Safranski. Besonders im Fokus steht dabei Friedrich Schiller, dessen unbändiger schöpferischer Enthusiasmus und Freiheitsbegriff als Gegenentwurf zum modernen Ideal der „Coolness“ interpretiert werden. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf Franz Kafka, dessen Existenz sich laut Safranski fast ausschließlich im „Absolutismus der Literatur“ vollzog. Die Texte verdeutlichen eindrucksvoll, wie diese Autoren durch die Kraft des Geistes ihre körperlichen Gebrechen oder sozialen Krisen überwanden. Letztlich zeigen die Quellen die Literatur als ein wirkungsvolles Mittel, um Ordnung in die Welt zu bringen und individuelle Freiheit zu behaupten.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Reality is too heavy for most people to carry. So they borrow illusions, soft dreams, sweet lies, and call it happiness.”~Franz Kafka (1883-1924), Jewish Czech writer of German literature, known for his works marked by surreal and bizarre storylines “The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books, but that we should engrave them upon our hearts.”~John Chrysostom (died 407 AD), church leader in ancient Constantinople The Letter to the Romans “is the principal and most excellent part of the New Testament. It is the light and way into the whole Scripture. No man can read it too often or study too well.”~William Tyndale (c.1494-1536), scholar and linguist, considered the father of the English Bible “This epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest gospel and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word by heart, but occupy himself with it every day as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much.”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), German reformer, in his commentary on Romans “Because faith alone justifies… publicans and prostitutes will be first in the kingdom of heaven”~Hilary of Poitiers (c.310-c.367), Gallic-Roman church leader “God justifies the believer—not because of the worthiness of his belief, but because of his [Christ's] worthiness who is believed.”~Richard Hooker (1554-1600) in his Ecclesiastical Polity (1593) “Of whatever virtue you may declare that the ancient righteous people were possessed, nothing saved them but the belief in the Mediator who shed his blood for the remission of their sins.”~Augustine (354-430), North African theologian in Against Two Letters of the Pelagians “God's righteousness compels him...to have to judge the guilty. But then he offers forgiveness and says ‘I will not judge you according to your works.' So...he sends his Son...so that now when he calls you his own...he has not compromised his righteousness.”~Jackie Hill Perry, poet, writer, and hip-hop artistSERMON PASSAGE Romans 1:16-17 & 3:21-26 (Dr. Robert Gagnon's translation of the original Greek)Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for effecting salvation to everyone who is believing it, both to the Jew first and to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is being revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written, “And the righteous one from faith will live.” Romans 3:21-26 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been manifested, though it is attested by the law and the prophets; that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all sinned and are lacking in the glory of God, with the result that they are being justified as a gift by his grace through the redemption that is available in Christ Jesus, whom God set before himself as an amends-making offering by means of his blood, through that faith, for an indicator of his righteousness, because of the letting go of the sins that occurred previously in the time of God's holding back his wrath, with a view toward that indicator of his righteousness in the ‘now' time, in order that he himself might be righteous and justifier of the person whose identity is derived from faith in Jesus.

Arianna Marelli"Tabù. Egon Schiele"https://www.nexostudios.it/movie/tabu-egon-schiele/“Nexo Studios La Grande Arte al Cinema” torna nelle sale italiane. Si parte il 20, 21, 22 aprile con Tabù. Egon Schiele, prodotto da 3D Produzioni e Nexo Studios, diretto da Michele Mally, autore del soggetto che firma anche la sceneggiatura assieme ad Arianna Marelli. Ad accompagnare gli spettatori sulle tracce dell'artista c'è Erika Carletto, attrice esordiente capace di rievocare con il suo canto le atmosfere di Vienna e Praga di allora. A cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, queste città, mostrate attraverso filmati d'archivio, furono i centri propulsori delle rivoluzioni e delle contraddizioni che caratterizzano ancora la nostra contemporaneità. La colonna sonora, d'impatto fortemente emotivo, è caratterizzata dalle musiche originali composte ed interpretate dalla violinista Laura Masotto e sarà disponibile in digitale su etichetta Nexo Studios Soundtracks. Nella “corsa folle” della vita di Schiele (1890-1918), costellata da centinaia di quadri e migliaia di opere su carta, c'è un eterno ritorno: quello al paese di nascita della madre dell'artista, Krumau, Český Krumlov oggi, in Repubblica Ceca. Tabù. Egon Schiele si snoda a partire da qui: dall'Atelier Egon Schiele – la casa con giardino dove il pittore abitò con la compagna e modella Wally Neuzil. Proprio nella cittadina della Boemia, che ai tempi di Schiele faceva parte dell'Impero austro-ungarico, affonda la radice di un'arte capace di sovvertire le regole estetiche, morali e psicologiche del tempo e di condurci – ancora oggi – all'essenza dell'essere umano. È infatti dall'architettura di Krumau che Egon Schiele, ancora ragazzo, impara a osservare da una prospettiva inedita, destinata a diventare il marchio della sua visione e a tradursi nei suoi disegni: lo sguardo dall'alto. Una prospettiva capace di farci riflettere sulle dinamiche stesse del guardare, sulla sua “violenza” e sulla sua forza erosiva. Krumau è una città che alterna curve morbide – il fiume Moldava che abbraccia e allo stesso tempo stringe il centro storico – ed elementi angolari e spigolosi: le case medievali, le strade tortuose. Una figura per certi versi materna, come quella così presente nella produzione di Schiele, pronta a interrogarci sul desiderio inconscio di ritorno all'origine, sul tentativo di riconnettersi alla dimensione da cui dipende l'immagine che tutti abbiamo di noi stessi. Il rapporto di Schiele con la madre Marie, del resto, era segnato dalla mancanza di affetto e dal conflitto, così come solitudine e senso di estraneità segnarono la relazione con Edith Harms, sposata nel 1915 dopo l'abbandono del grande amore Wally. L'affinità elettiva più profonda restò sempre quella con la sorella Gerti, di cui solo oggi emergono nuovi dati biografici.L'esplorazione di tutte queste connessioni visive e interiori è possibile grazie agli interventi di esperti e studiosi: Jane Kallir, curatrice del catalogo completo delle opere; Ralph Gleis e Elisabeth Dutz, rispettivamente Direttore e Curatrice capo dell'Albertina di Vienna; Kerstin Jesse, curatrice del Leopold Museum di Vienna; Verena Gamper, Curatrice del Belvedere di Vienna; Klára Sváčková del Museum Fotoatelier Seidel, Český Krumlov; Elio Grazioli e Otto M. Urban, storici dell'arte; Maddalena Mazzocut-Mis, filosofa; Micaela Riboldi, psicanalista; Amelia Valtolina, germanista; gli scrittori Romina Casagrande e Alessandro Banda; la regista Gerda Leopold.Guarda il trailer:https://www.nexostudios.it/movie/tabu-egon-schiele/Snodo cruciale del film è il 1910, anno in cui si afferma lo stile unico di Schiele. È proprio nel 1910 che la Cometa di Halley attraversa il cielo, lasciando una scia luminosa che unisce le latitudini e ridisegna le cronologie. Sotto quel cielo possiamo immaginare Egon che cammina per le strade di Praga insieme a Franz Kafka (1883-1924), altra figura ricorrente nel docufilm. Non vi è prova che i due si siano mai conosciuti o incontrati, ma il loro destino e la loro arte si incrociano allora come oggi, offrendoci nuove chiavi per penetrare anche l'universo kafkiano: il suo tempo onirico, il disturbo che continua a provocare, esattamente come spesso “disturbano” i corpi contorti di Schiele. Del resto, in quella Vienna fu proprio la percezione del tempo a cambiare: un tempo non più lineare e causale, ma condensato, affettivo, “fatale”, come le “ore stellari” di cui parlava Stefan Zweig, in cui nascita e morte sono legate in modo indissolubile. Tutti respiravano il senso di una fine. Nel 1918, anno in cui muoiono Schiele ma anche Gustav Klimt e molti altri protagonisti della Vienna d'oro, crolla l'Impero austro-ungarico, mentre nasce la Cecoslovacchia.La storia di Egon Schiele finisce qui, mentre quella di Kafka continua. Ma è soprattutto il nostro mondo che, ormai, ha cominciato la propria storia: l'eterno ritorno, l'ossessione per la morte, l'autoanalisi istintiva e ossessiva, il sentirsi sbagliati e insieme sfacciatamente presenti al mondo rivelano uno Schiele talmente contemporaneo da dare ancora, violentemente, fastidio. Schiele ci costringe a pensare ai nostri tabù. Quelli di allora come quelli di oggi. Cerca la sala più vicina a te:https://www.nexostudios.it/movie/tabu-egon-schiele/#cercacinemaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

"Welcome to Harshaneeyam!"Can a work of art ever truly be washed clean of the hands that funded it? Is it possible to create a masterpiece in the shadow of a monster? Today, we are exploring these haunting questions through the lens of The Director—the latest novel by the brilliant German author Daniel Kehlmann. Set against the harrowing backdrop of the late 1930s and 1940s, the story follows the legendary film director G.W. Pabst as he returns to Nazi-occupied Austria.Pabst finds himself ensnared by the propaganda machine of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Enlightenment and Propaganda, who wielded absolute control over the German press and arts to serve the regime's twisted ideology. Pabst believes his creative genius can transcend such a system, but at what cost?Upon its original release in Germany under the title Lichtspiel, the novel became an immediate sensation, sparking intense literary debates about the moral compromises of artists during the Third Reich. This buzz has only grown as the book enters the global stage, with the English edition published in the year 2025. Now, having been shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026, the novel stands as one of the most anticipated and discussed works of contemporary fiction."Joining me today is the man who brought this intricate, tonal masterpiece into English: the award-winning translator Ross Benjamin. We discuss the 'moral acrobatics' of the artist and the 'tonal agility' required to translate one of the most important voices in contemporary German literature. This is a conversation about light, shadow, and the high cost of staying silent."We believe that every great book is an invitation to a new world. Harshaneeyam serves as your gateway to these contemporary global masterpieces, connecting you with the authors and translators who shape our literary landscape.If you enjoy Harshaneeyam please follow the show on Apple, Spotify, or your favourite podcasting platform and leave a review for us.

Your feedback is the secret ingredient that helps us improve and create content tailored to your interests!The Versatility of Kehlmann's VoiceOne of the most striking aspects of Daniel Kehlmann's writing is his ability to shift registers with surgical precision. Ross Benjamin notes that as a translator, the greatest challenge—and thrill—is capturing Kehlmann's "tonal range and agility." In The Director, the narrative moves seamlessly from the slapstick humor of a film set to the chilling, quiet terror of a propaganda ministry.Kehlmann's work is characterized by a "light touch." He avoids the heavy-handedness often found in historical fiction, opting instead for a style that is "sly and inventive." Whether he is writing about the magical realism of Tyll or the cinematic obsession in 'The Director' Kehlmann manages to be intellectually serious without ever losing his propulsive, vivid storytelling.Cinema and the Shadow of PropagandaThe Director follows the life of the legendary film director G.W. Pabst. After a failed stint in Hollywood, Pabst finds himself back in Nazi-occupied Austria. The novel explores the "adventure of not-knowing"—the tragic delusion that an artist can separate their craft from the political machine surrounding them.Ross Benjamin explains that the novel is not just a biography; it is a meditation on the "moral issues" of creation. Pabst believes he can make a masterpiece even under the watchful eye of Joseph Goebbels. The Original German Title Licht Speil - "light play" refers not just to the flicker of the film projector, but to the deceptive game the artist plays with a monstrous regime.The Challenge for the TranslatorTranslating a work of this magnitude requires more than just bilingual fluency; it requires a deep understanding of historical subtext. Ross Benjamin discusses the difficulty of translating the "Propaganda Deutsch" of the era—a language designed to obfuscate and control."There's a specific humor in Kehlmann," Ross shares. "It's often found in the absurdity of the situations." In one scene discussed during the podcast, a group of officials descends on a film set, and the dialogue shifts into a terrifyingly polite, yet deadly, exchange. Capturing that "mask of civility" in English while maintaining the underlying threat is the "invisible labor" of the translator.Why ‘The Director' Matters TodayAs ‘The Director' makes its way to the International Booker Prize shortlist, its relevance is undeniable. It asks a question that resonates in every era: What is the cost of staying silent? Through the lens of 1940s cinema, Kehlmann and Benjamin provide a mirror to our own world, exploring how easily "art for art's sake" can be weaponized by those in power.For listeners of Harshaneeyam, this interview is a deep dive into the "Philosophy of Translation" and the meticulous craft required to bring a German masterpiece into the global literary consciousness.About the Author & TranslatorDaniel Kehlmann Daniel Kehlmann is one of the most successful contemporary German-language authors. Born in Munich in 1975, he rose to international fame with his 2005 novel Measuring the World (Die Vermessung der Welt), which became one of the biggest-selling German novels since WWII. His works frequently blend historical fact with magical realism and philosophical inquiry. He has received numerous awards, including the Kleist Prize and the Thomas Mann Prize. His previous collaboration with Ross Benjamin on the novel Tyll was also a global sensation and a finalist for the International Booker Prize.Ross Benjamin Ross Benjamin is an award-winning translator of German literature based in the United States. His translations include works by Franz Kafka, Friedrich Hölderlin, and Joseph Roth. He is perhaps best known for his definitive translation of The Diaries of Franz Kafka, which was hailed for its faithfulness to Kafka's original, unedited prose. Benjamin's work is noted for its linguistic sensitivity and his ability to capture the specific "musicality" of German authors. He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator's Prize.The Director' in press -A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2025A New York Times Notable Book of 2025A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025A Guardian Book of the Year 2025An Observer Book of the year 2025* Please complete Harshaneeyam Listener Survey using the link below.

Doug Lowell spent nearly 40 years in the world of advertising, from co-owning an ad agency to teaching the subject at Portland State University. But it was only in retirement that he was able to achieve his dream job of opening his own bookstore. As a third-generation Portlander, the business also allows him to play a part in the revitalization of Portland’s downtown, which he recalls once being the envy of other cities.    Lowell began welcoming customers to the store, Kid Hermes the Trickster, about a month ago. Oregon ArtsWatch recently profiled Lowell and his new venture. The 830-square-foot space in downtown Portland is packed with roughly 1,700 books that come mostly from Lowell’s personal library. In addition to literary classics from Jane Austen and Franz Kafka, visitors might find rare first editions and signed copies of titles spanning photography, science fiction or even a 16-volume collection of the Oxford English Dictionary. There’s also a gallery inside the store where Lowell hosts art exhibitions featuring local and international artists.    Lowell joins us to share his vision and hopes for Kid Hermes the Trickster.  

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's essay "Kafka And His Precursors", in which he first examines the idea of literary precursors, and then identifies and briefly discusses six precursors to the works of Franz Kafka, in his view. These are: Zeno's paradoxes of motion an apologue by Han Yu the writings of Kierkegaard Browning's poem "Fears and Scruples" a short story by Léon Bloy Lord Dunsany's short story "Carcassonne" To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 4000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get Borges' Other Inquisitions here - https://amzn.to/4br9pul

El miembro fantasma es la amputación  que permanece como dolor y como presencia. Desde hoy es también el título de un libro de relatos de Fernanda Trías , editado por Páginas de Espuma.  El dolor del miembro fantasma no es imaginario y a través de diez relatos existen perdidas de sus protagonistas que lo muestra. Pérdidas que tienen que ver con la memoria histórica y colectiva , pero también con la personal y afectiva. Además de hablarnos de su nuevo, Fernanda Trías nos donó 'La transformación (la metamorfosis)' de Franz Kafka (De Bolsillo) . Antes nuestra biblioteca abrió sus puertas con Antonio Martínez Asensio contando en tres minutos 'El gran Gatsby' de Francis Scott Fitzgerald (Austral) y nos avanzó para su programa 'Un libro, una hora' , 'Los cuentos' de Emilia Pardo Bazán (Penguin clásicos). Las novedades las trajo Pepe Rubio que se focalizaron en dos libros 'Donde termina el verano' de Elma Correa (Seix Barral) y 'Qué es la poesía' de Manuel Rico (Siles).  Pascual Donate rescató un Premio Pulitzer entre los libros abandonados en la redacción, se trataba de 'Entre este y oeste: un vieje por las fronteras de Europa' de Anna Applebaum (Debate) . Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes que fueron 'El viento de la luna' de Antonio Muñoz Molina (Seix Barral), 'Aventuras de un niño irlandés' de Julio Verne (RBA) y  'El círculo de los días' de Ken Follet (Plaza y Janés). 

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Christine Estima about her novel, Letters to Kafka (House of Anansi, 2025).  A sweeping, tragic romance and feminist adventure about translator and resistance fighter Milena Jesenská's torrid love affair with Franz Kafka. In 1919, Milena Jesenská, a clever and spirited twenty-three-year-old, is trapped in an unhappy marriage to literary critic Ernst Pollak. Since Pollak is unable to support the pair in Vienna's post-war economy, Jesenská must supplement their income by working as a translator. Having previously met her compatriot Franz Kafka in the literary salons of Prague, she writes to him to ask for permission to translate his story “The Stoker” from German to Czech, becoming Kafka's first translator. The letter launches an intense and increasingly passionate correspondence. Jesenská is captivated by Kafka's energy, intensity, and burning ambition to write. Kafka is fascinated by Jesenská's wit, rebellious spirit, and intelligence. Jesenská and Kafka meet twice for lovers' trysts, but can such an intense connection endure beyond a fleeting affair? In her remarkable debut novel, Christine Estima weaves little-known facts and fiction into a rich tapestry, powerfully portraying the struggles of a woman forced to choose between the roles of wife, lover, and intellectual. CHRISTINE ESTIMA is an Arab woman of mixed ethnicity (Lebanese, Syrian, and Portuguese) and the author of the short story collection The Syrian Ladies Benevolent Society. She has written for the New York Times, The Walrus, VICE, the Globe and Mail, Chatelaine, Maisonneuve, the Toronto Star, and the CBC. Her story “Your Hands Are Blessed” was included in Best Canadian Stories 2023. She was shortlisted for the 2018 Allan Slaight Prize for Journalism and a finalist for the 2023 Lee Smith Novel Prize.

Snímek Franz režisérky Agnieszky Holland má 15 nominací na Českého lva. Mimochodem, víte, co má společného spisovatel Franz Kafka a komiksový hrdina Batman? Na první pohled vůbec nic, přesto se oba potkali při výrobě mučicího stroje pro film Franz. Malou postavu superhrdiny použili scénografové jako maketu, aby viděli, jak bude aparát fungovat. „Ten stroj má vyrývací jehlice, opakovaně napíše na záda odsouzence samotný rozsudek,“ popisuje scénograf Herny Boraros.

In the mid-60s his mind turned to science fiction and the result was a visually striking, choatic film about a dystopian world in which logic rules and love is punished. If you find the film confusing you are not alone and I have two brilliant academic brains to help us out. Roger Luckhurst is a Professor at Birkbeck, University of London. He has written/edited numerous articles and books on cultural history and film. Douglas Morrey is an associate professor of French at the University of Warwick. He has a special interest in the French new Wave on which he has written extensively, including the 2005 book Jean-Luc Godard. CORRECTION: In the podcast I mention Roger citing Alphaville having an image from Chris Marker's La Jetée but the image is actually Marker's photograph which is in the credit sequence but doesn not feature in La Jetée. The book of poetry in the film Capitale de la douleur (Capital of Pain) is written by Paul Elouard.

Next episode we will be talking about Planet of the Vampires, the low budget 1965 dubbed delight by Mario Bava. The film is campy (and for me quite hilarious) as well as being famed for inspiring Alien (1979). (Perhaps a little overstated in this regard?) You can find the film to rent on Amazon, Apple, Flixfling and may find it on free platforms with ads in your region. You can check the JustWatch website for more details.

The Nevada County Sheriff's Office said the avalanche was reported around 11:30 a.m. amid a heavy snowstorm that has closed both Interstate 80 and Highway 50 at the summit.

It is also a symptom of a veneration of the imperial presidency that is un-republican and would have horrified the Founding Fathers. Feel like you don’t belong? Crave emotional independence?

Wie is de literaire fuckboy aan wie we het woord 'kafkaësk' te danken hebben en die een heel boek in één nacht schreef? Waarom werd hij ooit door een vuurpeloton van vrouwen opgewacht? Had het hele oeuvre van Kafka toch verbrand moeten worden, zoals hij zelf wilde? Hoe doorgronden we het ondoorgrondelijke werk van deze onthechte zonderling?

How much of your existence is shrouded in resistance? Something a lot of us gifted autistics feel resistance towards is the needs of the human body. Food, water, sleep, bathroom… Every bodily demand feels like an interruption, a violation of autonomy. As Kathi shared in today's group podcast, her father literally says “I want to decide when I want to eat. I don't want my body to tell me when to eat!” If you have PDA (officially “Pathological Demand Avoidance” but I prefer the term “Pervasive Drive for Autonomy”), rejecting bodily needs is an attempt to preserve autonomy. Through this lens, the eating disorder – the ultimate rejection of bodily needs – can almost be seen as an extreme manifestation of PDA. Of course, the paradox is that the ED itself is a violation of autonomy…because when your every next move is decided by the ED force, well you ain't so much “in control” anymore, eh? In today's episode of the Liv Label Free Podcast, we dive DEEP into eating disorders and PDA, as well as: How diagnoses help validate our struggles Intergenerational patterns of resisting bodily needs Why mental hunger is a legitimate hunger signal (Kathi shares a great metaphor!) Franz Kafka's “A Hunger Artist” and existential loneliness Why recovery requires surrender before proof I know how “claustrophobic” it can feel to be an infinite soul contained in a human body costume. But as I've been reminding myself lately, suffering is amplified by resisting what is. XO Liv P.S.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder hosts a discussion on schizoid personality dynamics through the lens of Franz Kafka's life and writings. Discover why the DSM-5's surface-level criteria for schizoid personality disorder falls short, often missing the intense inner conflict between a profound yearning for connection and a paralyzing fear of engulfment. Drawing on the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM), Nancy McWilliams' insightful perspectives, and Kafka's unsent "Letter to His Father" plus classics like "The Metamorphosis," the group explores how schizoid traits differ from autism, involve hypersensitivity rather than social cue deficits, and manifest in creative, introspective individuals.

What a mess.I mean America's corporatized, bureaucratic, profiteering medical system. It's as though the Marx Brothers and Franz Kafka conspired to create it.Yet, in the midst of that mess, there is one saving grace – namely the everyday workforce of dedicated nurses, therapists, hygienists, and other skilled, hands-on professionals who are the true heart of health care.Astonishingly, though, when Trump & Co. bellowed this year that they intended to reform the medical system and slash costs, guess who they targeted for cuts? Certainly not the lavishly-paid CEOs and corporate price gougers who donate billions to Trump. Instead, they're going after our frontline caregivers, the one segment of the system that prioritizes patient health over corporate profits.Yet, channeling Kafka's surrealism and Groucho's slapstick, Trump and his GOP Congress are not only downgrading this vital workforce, but denigrating it. They've directed the US Education Department to decree that nurses are no longer “professionals.”One immediate impact is that many young people who want to pursue careers in patient care will no longer be eligible for the government's student loans for advanced medical courses. This means that non-rich students will effectively be blocked from earning specialized degrees … and higher salaries. In the bigger picture, Trump's insult to these essential medical professionals amounts to government-enforced plutocracy, mandating inequality, as well as inferior health care.Moreover, three-fourths of the health-provider jobs Trump wants to degrade are filled by women. Apparently, it's part of his increasing attempts to belittle and bully women. As one nurse says of his attack on her profession: “It's just a smack in the face.” For information and action, go to NationalNursesUnited.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

This is the second episode in a series called THE SPIRIT-ERA & ITS AFTERMATHS in which I look at the way spiritual, technological, and occult flourishings at the turn of the 19th into 20th century are still with us today.In the second installment in the series, I talk with ALLAN JOHNSON Professor of English Literature at University of Surrey, meditation coach, and author of the excellent book, The Sacred Life of Modernist Literature: Immanence, Occultism, and the Making of the Modern WorldIn that book, Allan states: “The occult has always walked the perilous line between desiring a textual form while resisting the possibility that this form can ever be completely achieved.”One of my big frustrations with spiritual influencers is that most of them don't seem to have a good grasp of art, but particularly literature. They do something like this: they read literature that has magical CONTENT and create metaphors and analogies that - all-too conveniently - mirror the lessons of their own esoteric view. And they generally reach for the usual suspects: Tolkien, Le Guin, Coehlo, etc.But the location of esoteric strength in literature is less in the content and much more in its FORMS and STYLES. These forms were brought to us most prominently in modernist fiction - in James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and more. But also by poets like TS Elliot, Ezra Pound, and WB Yeats.In the works of modernist writers, the reader's involvement is demanded to complete the text. These are writers who initiate us as we read their works.This conversation with Allan offered the chance to explore ideas I'd been longing to talk about for years, I'm so excited to share them with you here.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREONBuy Allan's book
