Demokrati har brug for religion
Hvad ville samfundet være uden religion?Den anerkendte sociolog Hartmut Rosa stiller det fremtidsorienterede spørgsmål: Hvad mister samfundet og demokratiet, hvis religionen ikke længere spiller en rolle i det højmoderne samfund? Hvori består religionens potentiale for vores fremtid som demokrati? Er det virkelig klogt at give afkald på det religiøses rige skat? Er religion udelukkende en anakronisme, der forstyrrer væksten i den globale konkurrence? På sædvanlig knivskarp måde analyserer Hartmut Rosa det moderne og vover at tænke over, hvad der ville ske, hvis århundredgamle religioners idéreservoir går tabt i vores højmoderne samfund. En passioneret tekst baseret på Rosas foredrag ved stiftsreceptionen i Würzburg den 17. januar 2022. Omtale ????? ” (...) Hartmut Rosa rammer tidens ømmeste punkt i den lille geniale bog, der både er tankevækkende, trøsterig og hører til det moderne menneskes læsepensum.” - Jyllands-Posten 'Rosas sympatiske tilgang til tro, kirke og religion, uden

William Wilson, E-bok
William Wilson en novell av Edgar Allan Poes. Den publicerades första gången 1839 i Burton's Gentleman's Magazine. Novellen ingår även i samlingen Den svarta katten och andra noveller. EDGAR ALLAN POE föddes i Boston 1809. Efter korta försök inom universitetsvärlden och militären blev han biträdande redaktör för Southern Literary Messenger i Richmond och började verka som litteraturkritiker och författare. Romanen Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr från 1838 mötte ingen större uppskattning; det var i novellerna som hans sällsamma senromantiska stil verkligen kom till sin rätt. Han avled i Baltimore år 1849.

Hyllade Elizabeth Strout är tillbaka med sin tredje roman om Lucy Barton i New York. Lucy har nyligen blivit änka och navigerar i den nya tillvaron som ensamstående mor till två vuxna döttrar. Efter många år isär hör hennes exman William plötsligt av sig och ber henne följa med på en resa för att gräva i en sedan länge dold familjehemlighet – en hemlighet med kraft att kullkasta allt de tror sig veta om varandra. En historia om rädsla och osäkerhet, om enkla nöjen och kärlekshandlingar och om de tysta krafter som binder människor samman, även när de har vuxit isär.

Lumoavan Lucy Bartonin paluu!Elizabeth Strout ilahduttaa palaamalla Lucy Bartonin vaiheisiin romaanissa, jossa yllättävä paljastus asettaa jo eroon päättyneen avioliiton täysin uuteen valoon.Miten helppoa se onkaan, olla naimisissa jonkun kanssa, josta loppujen lopuksi ei tiedä paljonkaan. Ja sitten kun eron jälkeen saa tietää, ei tarvitse enää välittää. Vai tarvitseeko? Kirjailija Lucy Barton on eronnut sopuisasti ensimmäisestä aviomiehestään Williamista jo vuosia sitten, mutta nyt käy ilmi jotakin, joka vie heidät vielä yhdelle yhteiselle matkalle. Amerikan parhaisiin kirjailijoihin lukeutuva Strout on kirjoittanut ehkä lumoavimman romaaninsa, erään avioliiton intiimin muotokuvan.Elizabeth Strout (s. 1956) on yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija, joka 2009 voitti Pulitzer-palkinnon teoksellaan Olive Kitteridge. Siitä tehtiin Emmy-palkittu ja myös Suomessa ihastuttanut tv-minisarja. Pienoisromaani Nimeni on Lucy Barton oli monien muiden Stroutin teosten tavoin arvostelumenestys, ja Suomessa kirjabloggarit äänestivät sen vuoden 2018 parhaaksi käännösromaaniksi. Pikkukaupunkien joskus niin ahdasta sielunelämää osuvasti kuvaava Strout on kotoisin Mainesta mutta asuu New Yorkissa.

Inspired by Poe’s own tragic life, the short story clearly presages Freud’s method of psychoanalysis. In a very Fight-club-like plot and situations, “William Wilson” is a journey within the mind. Some sixty years prior to Freud’s clinical work and theoretical developments, Poe’s story is an example of the rise of the psychological genre in literature.A fruitful, and at the same time paranoid, the theme of the doppelganger runs strong in Edgar Allan Poe’s fiction. From “The Fall of the House of Usher” to “Morella” and “Ligeia”, Poe’s characters are constantly harassed by conscious entities that mirror the chaos within the protagonists’ unconscious. The influence of “William Wilson” can be felt in the proliferation of contemporary movies exploring the idea of the double, such as Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” (1958), Basil Dearden’s “The Man Who Haunted Himself” (1970) or Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” (2010).Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include “The Raven” (1945), "The Black Cat” (1943), and “The Gold-Bug” (1843).

Valta turmelee, ja yksinvalta se vasta turmeleekin. Tähän ei eläin pysty. 12 diktaattoria on ollut yksi radion kuunnelluimpia ohjelmia.Ottaako demokratia päähän? Eikö tarvittavia päätöksiä synny riittävän vauhdikkaasti? Oliko laiha kompromissi pettymys kaikille?Kirja antaa helppoja vastauksia vaikeisiin kysymyksiin. Yli puolet maailman väestöstä elää yhä diktatuureissa, joissa demokratia ei toteudu lainkaan tai toteutuu todella heikosti. Voiko enemmistö olla väärässä?Lähihistorian diktaattorit voidaan jakaa karkeasti kahteen kastiin: niihin, jotka ovat keskittyneet tappamisessa määrään, ja niihin, jotka ovat keskittyneet laatuun huomattuaan, että on mukavampaa ja yleensä ainakin yhtä tehokasta ostaa kuin nuijia ihmiset kuuliaisiksi. Sitten ovat vielä ne, joiden toimet on ”tähtiin kirjoitettu”, ja ne, jotka ovat saaneet ohjeensa suoraan Jumalalta.Ihmisinä diktaattoreita voisi kuvata vaikkapa äiti Teresan vastakohdaksi. Nämä usein leppoisan baijerilaisen oluttuvan isännän näköiset despootit ovat luoneet olosuhteet, joiden kuvailussa maanpäällinen helvetti tuntuu lattealta ilmaukselta.Jokaisella diktaattorilla eri puolilla maailmaa on ollut oma persoonallinen tapansa varmistaa valta-asemansa. Näistä merkittävimpiin ja luovimpiin kirjassa pureudutaan. Ja koska diktaattoreita tuntuu edelleen nousevan kuin sieniä sateella, aina kun aika on sopiva, kirja kannattaa lukea ihan vain siksi, että et päädy paistina kaverin lautaselle.Raimo Tyykiluoto (s. 1962) on Yleisradion pitkäaikainen toimittaja, joka on harrastuksenaan perehtynyt diktaattoreihin ja toimittanut tähän aiheeseen liittyvän suositun radiosarjan.
