What is the difference between reality and fantasy? Lene Berg explores these seemingly mutually exclusive worlds in her films, including 2012s Kopfkino. The premise is simple-Eight women sit behind a long table, dressed as various female stereotypes, and exchange stories about the fulfillment of their sexual fantasies. Starting with a scripted conversation, the actors perform with no direction, changing and adding details and anecdotes from their own lives. Manifesta 9 curator Katerina Gregos writes Berg crafts short, witty, incisive, and often humorous filmic stories, using lo fi means to interrogate the question of history and historiography. This publication, accompanying the exhibition of Kopfkino and other films at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, features essays from Sabeth Buchmann, Katerina Gregos, and Dieter Roelstraete, among others.

Éros mène le monde. La Femme est pour l'homme un bien si précieux qu'il n'est pas d'entreprise qui le fasse reculer pour la trouver ou la retrouver. Orphée n'est pas seulement le Héros du premier opéra (Monteverdi, 1607), mais le modèle de tous les teneurs (ténors) de cette souveraine (soprano). Il dispose pour cette entreprise d'un talisman, lyre ou flûte (enchantée), et surtout de son chant, bien utile pour affronter le Pouvoir (Pluton, et d'autres) qui se dressent contre lui. Quand le Héros est infidèle à Eros, c'est qu'il a reconverti son désir en Volonté de puissance. Eros est subjugué par Kratos. Le héros d'opéra (Wotan de Wagner !), comme le quidam de tout temps, n'y gagne pas au change.Lorsque le héros est une héroïne, l'opéra change de sens. Il raconte alors le destin d'une séductrice, bientôt destructrice des Hommes qui la courtisent, et enfin détruite par le cours même de sa vie. Elle s'appelle Carmen, Traviata, ou Lulu. Ou Poppée. À Orfeo répond Wozzeck : héros infortuné, durée courte, personnel réduit, unité de ton. C'est le triomphe du classicisme. De même, Lulu répond à Poppée : destin de séductrice destructrice, durée longue, personnel nombreux, ruptures de ton, rebondissements multiples : l'émergence du modèle baroque. Monteverdi, Berg. L'alpha et l'omega d'une certaine histoire de l'opéra.Longtemps producteur à Radio France (France Culture, France Musique, 1972-2008), Dominique Jameux est spécialiste de la musique du XXe siècle, de l'école de Vienne (Schönberg, Berg, Webern) en particulier. Auteur de très nombreux textes et études sur la musique en France et à l'étranger, il donne des conférences en France, en Europe (Allemagne, Autriche, Suisse, Italie, Belgique, Luxembourg...) et dans le monde (États-Unis, Canada, Japon...). Auteur pour la télévision, il collabore à la radio de Suisse Romande (RSR) et assure la critique musicale de la revue Commentaire.

Mountains have always stirred the human imagination, playing a crucial role in the cultural evolution of peoples around the globe and becoming infused with meaning in the process. Beyond their geographical-geological significance, mountains affect the topography of the mind, whether as objects of peril or attraction, of spiritual enlightenment or existential fulfilment, of philosophical contemplation or aesthetic inspiration. This volume challenges the oversimplified assumption that human interaction with mountains is a distinctly modern development, one that began with the empowerment of the individual in the wake of Enlightenment rationalism and Romantic subjectivity. These essays by European and North American scholars examine the lure of mountains in German literature, philosophy, film, music, and culture from the Middle Ages to the present, with a focus on the interaction between humans and the alpine environment. The contributors consider mountains not as mere symbolic tropes or literary metaphors, but as constituting a tangible reality that informs the experiences and ideas of writers, naturalists, philosophers, filmmakers, and composers. Overall, this volume seeks to provide multiple answers to questions regarding the cultural significance of mountains as well as the physical practice of climbing them.

German-language thinkers such as Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud are central to modernity. Yet their reception in the English-speaking world has largely depended on translations, a situation that has often hampered full engagement with the rhetorical and philosophical complexity of the German history of ideas. The present volume, the first of its kind, is a response to this situation. After an introduction charting the remarkable flowering of German-language thought since the eighteenth century, it offers extracts -- in the original German -- from sixteen major philosophical texts, with extensive introductions and annotations in English. All extracts are carefully chosen to introduce the individual thinkers while allowing the reader to pursue broader themes such as the fate of reason or the history of modern selfhood. The book offers students and scholars of German a complement to linguistic, historical, and literary study by giving them access to the wealth of German-language philosophy. It represents a new way into the work of a succession of thinkers who have defined modern philosophy and thus remain of crucial relevance today. The philosophers: Immanuel Kant, G. W. F. Hegel, Ludwig Feuerbach, Karl Marx, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, Georg Lukács, Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, Jürgen Habermas. Henk de Berg is Professor of German at the University of Sheffield. Duncan Large is Professor of German at Swansea University.
