  Hyun-Sook Song. Where at home - Paint or Die. An account of life and work of the painter Song Hyun-Sook and the cultural background of her emigration.

  In Where at Home - Paint or Die, Jochen Hiltmann provides an intimate portrait of the life and work of Song Hyun-Sook, the internationally-celebrated painter represented by Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp. Describing Song Hyun-Sook's youth in a preindustrial farming village in the mountains of South Korea, her experiences as a migrant worker in West Germany in the 1970s, her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg, her accomplishments as a political activist, and her embodied practice of painting, Hiltmann considers how home, belonging, and cultural and national identity relate to fine art. Hiltmann shows how Song Hyun-Sook's paintings bridge the traditions of East Asian calligraphy and European modernism, joining the art and culture of the East and the West, to reveal complexes of sensibilities one single brushstroke at a time. Richly illustrated with 17 color reproductions of some of Song Hyun-Sook's recent paintings and 51 black-and-white images, this book offers unparalleled insight into the work of a profound and significant contemporary artist.

  Human Prehistory and the First Civilizations, Hörbuch, Digital, 1090min

  Where do we come from? How did our ancestors settle this planet? How did the great historic civilizations of the world develop? How does a past so shadowy that it has to be painstakingly reconstructed from fragmentary, largely unwritten records nonetheless make us who and what we are? These 36 lectures bring you the answers that the latest scientific and archaeological research and theorizing suggest about human origins, how populations developed, and the ways in which civilizations spread throughout the globe. It's a narrative of the story of human origins and the many ties that still bind us deeply to the world before writing. And it's a world tour of prehistory with profound links to who we are and how we live today. Woven through this narrative is a set of pervasive themes: emerging human biological and cultural diversity (as well as our remarkable similarities across surprising expanses of time and space); the impact of human adaptations to climatic and environmental change; and the importance of seeing prehistory not merely as a chronicle of archaeological sites and artifacts, but of people behaving with the extraordinary intellectual, spiritual, and emotional dynamism that distinguish the human. Among the corners of our mysterious past you'll explore: human prehistory from Australopithecus africanus through Homo habilis and Homo erectus; the beginnings of agriculture and animal domestication; theories behind the appearance of urban civilization and overall attributes of preindustrial civilizations; the maritime trading revolutions in Africa, India, and Southeast Asia; and much more. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Brian M. Fagan.

  On Constitutional Disobedience , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 347min

  What would the Framers of the Constitution make of multinational corporations? Nuclear weapons? Gay marriage? They led a preindustrial country, much of it dependent on slave labor, huddled on the Atlantic seaboard. The Founders saw society as essentially hierarchical, led naturally by landed gentry like themselves. Yet we still obey their commands, two centuries and one civil war later. According to Louis Michael Seidman, it's time to stop. In On Constitutional Disobedience, Seidman argues that, in order to bring our basic law up to date, it needs benign neglect. This is a highly controversial assertion. The doctrine of "original intent" may be found on the far right, but the entire political spectrum - left and right - shares a deep reverence for the Constitution. And yet, Seidman reminds us, disobedience is the original intent of the Constitution. The Philadelphia convention had gathered to amend the Articles of Confederation, not toss them out and start afresh. The "living Constitution" school tries to bridge the gap between the framers and ourselves by reinterpreting the text in light of modern society's demands. But this attempt is doomed, Seidman argues. One might stretch "due process of law" to protect an act of same-sex sodomy, yet a loyal-but-contemporary reading cannot erase the fact that the Constitution allows a candidate who lost the popular election to be seated as president. And that is only one of the gross violations of popular will enshrined in the document. Seidman systematically addresses and refutes the arguments in favor of Constitutional fealty, proposing instead that it be treated as inspiration, not a set of commands. The Constitution is, at its best, a piece of poetry to liberty and self-government. If we treat it as such, the author argues, we will make better progress in achieving both. ungekürzt.
