Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefeller's Tragic Quest for Primitive Art , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min

The mysterious disappearance of Michael Rockefeller in remote New Guinea in 1961 has kept the world, and even Michael's powerful, influential family, guessing for years. Now, Carl Hoffman uncovers startling new evidence that finally tells the full, astonishing story. On November 21, 1961, Michael C. Rockefeller, the 23-year-old son of New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, vanished off the coast of southwest New Guinea when his catamaran capsized while crossing a turbulent river mouth. He was on an expedition to collect art for the Museum of Primitive Art, which his father had founded in 1957, and his expedition partner - who stayed with the boat and was later rescued - shared Michael's final words as he swam for help: "I think I can make it." Despite exhaustive searches, no trace of Rockefeller was ever found. Soon after his disappearance, rumors surfaced that he'd been killed and ceremonially eaten by the local Asmat - a native tribe of warriors whose complex culture was built around sacred, reciprocal violence, head hunting, and ritual cannibalism. The Dutch government and the Rockefeller family denied the story, and Michael's death was officially ruled a drowning. Yet doubts lingered. Sensational rumors and stories circulated, fueling speculation and intrigue for decades. The real story has long waited to be told - until now. Retracing Rockefeller's steps, award-winning journalist Carl Hoffman traveled to the jungles of New Guinea, immersing himself in a world of headhunters and cannibals, secret spirits and customs, and getting to know generations of Asmat. Through exhaustive archival research, he uncovered never-before-seen original documents and located witnesses willing to speak publically after 50 years. In Savage Harvest he finally solves this decades-old mystery and illuminates a culture transformed by years of colonial rule, whose people continue to be shaped by ancient customs and lore.

Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Travels with George . . . is quintessential Philbrick-a lively, courageous, and masterful achievement." -The Boston Globe Does George Washington still matter? Bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick argues for Washington's unique contribution to the forging of America by retracing his journey as a new president through all thirteen former colonies, which were now an unsure nation. Travels with George marks a new first-person voice for Philbrick, weaving history and personal reflection into a single narrative. When George Washington became president in 1789, the United States of America was still a loose and quarrelsome confederation and a tentative political experiment. Washington undertook a tour of the ex-colonies to talk to ordinary citizens about his new government, and to imbue in them the idea of being one thing-Americans. In the fall of 2018, Nathaniel Philbrick embarked on his own journey into what Washington called "the infant woody country" to see for himself what America had become in the 229 years since. Writing in a thoughtful first person about his own adventures with his wife, Melissa, and their dog, Dora, Philbrick follows Washington's presidential excursions: from Mount Vernon to the new capital in New York; a monthlong tour of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island; a venture onto Long Island and eventually across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The narrative moves smoothly between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries as we see the country through both Washington's and Philbrick's eyes. Written at a moment when America's founding figures are under increasing scrutiny, Travels with George grapples bluntly and honestly with Washington's legacy as a man of the people, a reluctant president, and a plantation owner who held people in slavery. At historic houses and landmarks, Philbrick reports on the reinterpretations at work as he meets reenactors, tour guides, and other keepers of history's flame. He paints a picture of eighteenth-century America as divided and fraught as it is today, and he comes to understand how Washington compelled, enticed, stood up to, and listened to the many different people he met along the way-and how his all-consuming belief in the union helped to forge a nation.

Every word was once an animal

Macht, Fürsorge, KontrolleYalda Afsah (geb. 1983 in Berlin, lebt und arbeitet ebenda) setzt sich in ihren Filmen mit der Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Tier auseinander und befragt Mechanismen von Macht, Fürsorge und Kontrolle in Bezug auf verschiedene Formen von Domestizierung. Sie nimmt die oftmals verschwommenen Grenzen zwischen Pflege, Zuwendung und Identifikation mit Tieren auf der einen und Disziplin, Unterwerfung und menschlicher Dominanz auf der anderen Seite in den Blick. Ihre Arbeiten konfrontieren die Betrachterinnen mit dem intimen Porträt der gegenseitigen Abhängigkeiten menschlicher und nichtmenschlicher Protagonistinnen. Afsah suggeriert dabei nie, dass ein "Zurück" in eine vermeintlich reine Natur möglich sei, sondern provoziert dazu, andere Konzepte des Mit- und Gegeneinanders zu verhandeln. Nach der Teilnahme der deutsch-iranischen Künstlerin an der Manifesta 13, dem New York Film Festival und dem Filmfestival von Locarno bringt die Ausstellung Every word was once an animal alte und neue Produktionen zusammen und beleuchtet die bröckelnde Grenze zwischen Natur und Kultur. Natur ist nicht bloß passiver Gegenstand politischer Einflussnahme, sondern eine widerspenstige Protagonistin des Politischen.Die begleitende Publikation bietet einen ersten Überblick zu Afsahs Werk. Neben umfassendem Bildmaterial ihrer Videoarbeiten umfasst das Buch Textbeiträge von Fahim Amir, Maurin Dietrich, Cathrin Mayer, Gina Merz und Filipa Ramos.Power, Care, ControlYalda Afsah's (b. Berlin, 1983; lives and works in Berlin) films probe the relationship between man and animal, scrutinizing mechanisms of power, care, and control with respect to various forms of domestication and retracing the often blurry boundaries between nurture, solicitousness, and identification with animals on the one hand and discipline, subjugation, and human dominance on the other. Her works confront viewers with an intimate portrait of the mutual dependencies between human and nonhuman protagonists. Never suggesting that a "return" to an ostensibly pristine nature is possible, Afsah instead prods us to negotiate new conceptions of coexistence and conflict. After the German-Iranian artist's work was featured at Manifesta 13, the New York Film Festival, and the Locarno Film Festival, the exhibition Every word was once an animal gathers older and more recent productions to shed light on the disintegrating boundary between nature and culture. Far from being a mere passive object of political influence, nature is a recalcitrant protagonist to the political.The accompanying publication provides a first survey of Afsah's growing oeuvre. In addition to extensive visuals from her videos, the book includes writings by Fahim Amir, Maurin Dietrich, Cathrin Mayer, Gina Merz, and Filipa Ramos.

Sue Barr, The Architecture of Transit

For english version please scroll down:Auf der Suche nach dem Erhabenen in der Autobahnarchitektur zwischen den Alpen und NeapelAutobahnen sind die größten von Menschen gebauten architektonischen Strukturen. Sie verbinden Länder, Kontinente und überwinden natürliche und politische Grenzen, erschließen abgelegene Gebiete für Handel, Wirtschaft und Tourismus. Zwischen den Alpen und Neapel verbinden Autobahnen hochkomplexe topographische Gegebenheiten mit urbanen Ballungsräumen. Sie folgen dabei antiken Handelswegen oder den Straßen der Grand Tour der Romantiker des 19. Jahrhunderts, die auf der Suche nach arkadischen, erhabenen Landschaften waren, wie sie von de Loutherbourg, Claude und Turner gemalt worden waren.Die Erfahrung des Erhabenen in unberührter Natur war einer der Höhepunkte der Grand Tour. Heute rasen wir auf Autobahnen, über Brücken und Auffahrten, durch Galerien und Tunnel - die mühsame, mehrtägige Reise früherer Zeiten schrumpft auf wenige Stunden. Diese Reiseform zeitigt eine neue Form des Sublimen, die der gleichförmigen sich vor dem Auge des Fahrers entfaltenden betonierten Struktur der Autobahn in der Landschaft. Sue Barr (Professorin für Fotografie, Architectural Association, London) ist eine von brutalistischer Architektur und Beton besessene Fotografin. Mit Ihrer Großformatkamera folgte Sie von den Alpen bis nach Neapel und fotografierte die bislang zumeist ignorierte Architektur der Autobahn.--Searching for the sublime in motorway architecture between the Alps and NaplesMotorways are architectural megastructures in the landscape, crossing nations, natural or political borders making previously remote places accessible to development, tourism and trade. Between the Alps and Naples motorways connect highly complex topographies and urban conditions, often retracing antique trade paths and routes taken by northern Romantics on the Grand Tour, searching for arcadian and sublime landscapes as painted by de Loutherbourg, Claude and Turner.The experience of the sublime in untamed nature became a highlight on the Grand Tour. Landscapes that once took days to cross, today we speed through via motorways over concrete bridges, ramps, through galleries and tunnels. But with this speed comes a new accelerated and simultaneously calm sublime of concrete motorway megastructures.Sue Barr (Head of Photography, Architectural Association, London) is a photographer obsessed by concrete and Brutalist architecture. Following historical 18th-century routes from the Swiss Alps to Naples, she used a large format camera to photograph these extraordinary and ignored architectural megastructures. The pictures in her first monographic publication, document the ominous beauty of motorway architecture, within landscapes and urban spaces through carefully constructed photographs
