Bob Dylan – Masters of War (Audio)
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin‘
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it‘s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people‘s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You‘ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain‘t worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I‘m young
You might say I‘m unlearned
But there‘s one thing I know
Though I‘m younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I‘ll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I‘ll watch while you‘re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I‘ll stand over your grave
‚Til I‘m sure that you‘re dead

Elias Khoury on Writing
“Literature speaks in many ways. It speaks to the present, of course, and to the future, if it is good literature. But literature is also a way for the writer to make a dialogue with the dead. This is the power of literature. It is not like religion: religion gives you the feeling that you are eternal. Here, there is no eternity at all, but it opens the possibility of dialoguing with the dead.”
Lebanon mourns the loss of leading novelist Elias Khoury
“Never in my life have I felt that life gives you more than you deserve more than at that moment, where literature transforms into reality,” Khoury said in an interview at the time.
Khoury’s well-known love for Palestine meant even more to Itani when he was falsely accused of collaborating with Israel in Lebanon in 2017.
At the time, Khoury wrote a fierce piece defending Itani, and expressed his disgust towards those pursuing him.
When Itani went to thank Khoury, the latter told him, “Are you serious? I raised you!”

Harold Pinter – Nobelvorlesung: Kunst, Wahrheit & Politik
(7. Dezember 2005)
Blicken wir in einen Spiegel, dann halten wir das Bild, das uns daraus entgegensieht, für akkurat. Aber bewegt man sich nur einen Millimeter, verändert sich das Bild. Wir sehen im Grunde eine endlose Reihe von Spiegelungen. Aber manchmal muss ein Schriftsteller den Spiegel zerschlagen – denn von der anderen Seite dieses Spiegels blickt uns die Wahrheit ins Auge.
Ich glaube, dass den existierenden, kolossalen Widrigkeiten zum Trotz die unerschrockene, unbeirrbare, heftige intellektuelle Entschlossenheit, als Bürger die wirkliche Wahrheit unseres Lebens und unserer Gesellschaften zu bestimmen, eine ausschlaggebende Verpflichtung darstellt, die uns allen zufällt. Sie ist in der Tat zwingend notwendig.
Wenn sich diese Entschlossenheit nicht in unserer politischen Vision verkörpert, bleiben wir bar jeder Hoffnung, das wiederherzustellen, was wir schon fast verloren haben – die Würde des Menschen.

Musik, Film, Literatur – kulturjournalistische Beiträge aus der Indie-Szene
Kunst und Kultur gegen den Strom
Einige Künstler lassen sich nicht einschüchtern. Sie machen das, was man von ihnen erwartet. Sie passen sich nicht an, sie üben Kritik an den Missständen und erheben ihre Stimme, so laut, dass sie in der Öffentlichkeit trotz Cancel Culture nachhallt.
In den letzten vier Jahren hat sich eine pulsierende Kulturszene herausgebildet. Der Journalist Eugen Zentner stellt sie in seinem Buch vor. Entlang der Bereiche Kabarett, Musik, Kunst und Literatur zeigt er mit teilweise prägnanten Werkanalysen, welche Themen diese mutigen Künstler beschäftigen, welche Ausdrucksformen sie wählen und was sie antreibt. Es ist eine erbauliche Bestandsaufnahme, eine fulminante Einführung in einen Bereich der außerparlamentarischen Opposition, in dem die Akteure Gegenöffentlichkeit mit den Mitteln der Kunst betreiben.
Künstler als außerparlamentarische Opposition
Wer der Cancel Culture zum Opfer fällt, flieht in eine alternative Kulturszene. Die wächst seit der Corona-Krise recht schnell. So haben sich in der Kulturbranche parallele Strukturen herausgebildet. Von ihnen erzählt das Buch von Eugen Zentner mit dem Titel „Kunst und Kultur gegen den Strom“. Eine Rezension von Éva Péli.
Daniel Neun – Der Fels
(audio)
lyrics:
Inmitten des Kosmos
am Meer aus Zeit
hier stehe ich am Abhang und
erstreckt sich weit
zum Horizont
ich seh es glühn
Zeit meinen Weg zu gehn
zu tun was ich muss
denn wisset – ich bin Sisyphos.
An der Sonne entlang
hinauf den Hang
tausend Gemälde ohne Vergleich
und aus den Tiefen steigt
der Mond und zeichnet weich
Geometrie ins Firmament
Geometrie
ins Firmament
roll ich den Fels hinauf den Hang
bin schon fast hinüber
tausend Leben lang
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
dort wo mein Platz ist
dort wo der Fels rollt
Rollt
Mein Platz ist dort wo der Fels rollt
Dort
Dort wo mein Platz ist
dort wo der Fels rollt
Ich wollt Du könntest sehn
Deine Welt sie ist so schön
Mitten im Nichts zu sein
So viele Sterne sind
im Äther ziehn dahin
ich muss nicht mehr wie einer sein
Nicht mehr wie Einer sein
der rollt den Fels hinauf den Hang
bin schon fast hinüber
tausend Leben lang
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
dort wo mein Platz ist wo der Fels rollt
Rollt
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
Mein Platz ist dort wo der Fels rollt
Dort
war ich Verdammter dieser Erde
dort wo mein Platz ist wo der Fels rollt
Du willst mich kaufen
Du willst mein Herz
Was bietest Du
nur ein bisschen Erz.
Erdling, was kannst Du mir geben
Ich bin verdammt nochmal
am Leben
Den Kopf in den Sternen hab ich´s geschafft
Dir zum Zeichen werf ich sie
hinab
den Hang
die Erde bebt
sieh wer nun dort oben steht
Erdling, werde was Du bist
weil Du sonst nie am Leben bist
und das ist es doch wert, Mensch
Das ist doch wert, Mensch
Du bist es doch wert, Mensch
Du bist es wert
Mensch.
Und das ist es mir wert, Mensch
Und das ist es mir wert
Und das ist es wert, Mensch
Und das ist es wert
Francis Ford Coppola: ‘I Have Nothing Left to Lose’
At Cannes, where it premiered in May, Megalopolis managed to be the single most divisive film of the festival; love it or hate it, Coppola’s huge swing for the philosophical fences is a truly singular work — and is exactly the movie that he wanted to make. (It’s set to hit theaters on Sept. 27.) That Coppola somehow managed in his eighties to will this long-gestating pet project into being and self-finance it against his winery for $120 million is borderline unbelievable, even given his legacy as someone willing to bet a fortune and/or a film studio to follow a dream. “I have everything to lose here,” he says, referring to this portrait of the decline, fall, and Phoenix-like rise of a civilization. “And, in a way, I have nothing left to lose anymore.”

Israelism
Two young American Jews – Simone Zimmerman and Eitan – are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield:’ America’s college campuses. When they witness Israel‘s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken.
They join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Their stories reveal a generational divide in the American Jewish community as more young Jews question the narratives their synagogues and Hebrew school teachers fed them as children.

„She’s got that effortless coolness, is hard-working and an absolute girl boss. The guys wanna be her, the girls wanna be her. We think she will conquer the world in 2020.“
– CURATEDBYGIRLS
„Bei VALENTINs Liveauftritten geht es sphärisch zu, es ist ein fast unbeschreiblicher Mix aus Fashion-Techno, Electro-Pop und Fusion und feministischer Attitüde. Es ist der stylische Sound einer Autodidaktin.“
– BLONDE Magazin
„Das straighte Powerhouse, das direkt aus der Berliner Untergrundszene auf die Zwölf gibt. Treibende Elektro- Sounds, pointierte Lyrics und das alles mit Ansage. Wenn man sich das einmal angehört hat, lässt es einen so schnell nicht wieder los.“

‘The Zone of Interest’ Director Makes Gaza Statement in Oscars Speech
“Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation, which has led to conflict for so many innocent people — whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza — all the victims of this dehumanization… how do we resist?” Glazer asked.
Glazer, who is Jewish, then dedicated the film’s win to Alexandria, a 90-year-old woman he met,while working on the film and who inspired one of the key characters in The Zone of Interest. She had worked for the Polish resistance at the age of 12, leaving apples for prisoners as she cycled through Auschwitz.
The Parachute Paradox
In the newspaper Al Khaleej, the novelist, poet, and critic Mohammed Al-Assad wrote of The Parachute Paradox:
What is identity? Is it assigned through words? Are they the labels we are born into and continue on living under in their shadows? The current Palestinian answer was proposed by the experiences of Edward Said who said that identity has a fluid nature––it does not settle, or rather it should not settle. He described it as whatever the person wants it to be, subject to constant change. But Steve adds new meaning in his book, derived from his life in exiled Jerusalem, and then in exile in London and Berlin, where he now lives. His multiplicitous identity arose from where he was born amongst standardized labels, from family, to community and the wider homeland. Steve doesn‘t state that he is with the case of his nation, exposed to all kinds of uprooting from the self and the land. This is a given, unarguable. But, and this is more important, he is for justice—in any time and any place. Here, the artist rises to an identity that he starts to embroider with threads of what he sees, knows and learns

Das Festival: Frei heraus
Wie unter einem Vergrößerungsglas
… haben die letzten Jahre die Belanglosigkeit der Kultur zum Vorschein gebracht: Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen reihten sich die Kulturschaffenden in die Phalanx der keimfreien Solidarität ein, ertrugen klaglos die Absage von Veranstaltungen oder machten sich zu Werbefiguren des staatstragenden Ideologiemarketings. Was aber weitgehend unterblieb, war eine künstlerische Reflexion der Zeitumstände. Dies ist ein Armutszeugnis und verweist über die Tagespolitik hinaus auf eine Tiefenkrise der Kultur, scheinen doch viele Künstler ihr Zutrauen in die sinnstiftende Kraft der Kunst anlässlich der Verführung durch die Macht und den Markt verloren zu haben.
DAS FESTIVAL in Weimar tritt den lebendigen Gegenbeweis an: Es feiert die widerständige Sinnquelle der Kunst und die Freiheit der Rede und bringt uns dadurch wieder in Kontakt mit den Wurzeln der Menschlichkeit, diesseits des Konformitätsdrucks, der nicht zuletzt durch staatliche Kulturförderung erzeugt wird.

BRAVE NEW WORLD by Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
(1932)
Suddenly ,from out of the Synthetic Music Box a Voice began to speak. The Voice of Reason, the Voice of Good Feeling. The sound-track roll was un winding itself in Synthetic Anti-Riot Speech Number Two (Medium Strength). Straight from the depths of a non-existent heart, „My friends, my friends!“ said the Voice so pathetically, with a note of such infinitely tender reproach that, behind their gas masks, even the policemen‘s eyes were momentarily dimmed with tears, „what is the meaning of this? Why aren‘t you all being happy and good together? Happy and good,“ the Voice repeated. „At peace, at peace.“ It trembled, sank into a whisper and momentarily expired. „Oh, I do want you to be happy,“ it began, with a yearning earnestness. „I do so want you to be good! Please, please be good and …“
Two minutes later the Voice and the soma vapour had produced their effect. In tears, the Deltas were kissing and hugging one another–half a dozen twins at a time in a comprehensive embrace. Even Helmholtz and the Savage were almost crying. A fresh supply of pill-boxes was brought in from the Bursary; a new distribution was hastily made and, to the sound of the Voice‘s richly affectionate, baritone valedictions, the twins dispersed, blubbering as though their hearts would break.

„Das Schreckliche daran ist, dass die Schönheit sowohl geheimnisvoll als auch schrecklich ist. Gott und der Teufel kämpfen dort, und das Schlachtfeld ist das Herz des Menschen.“

„Es gibt ja nichts Schlaueres, als sich ohne jede Verstellung so zu geben wie man ist, denn das glaubt einem ja doch kein Mensch.“

Seine Exzellenz der Android
Der Eindruck, den Lars machte, war durchaus der eines Mannes von Geltung. Er saß bequem im Lehnstuhl, hielt Zeitung und Zigarre in den Händen, lächelte mit dem zuvorkommenden Lächeln, das ihm Andersen beigebracht hatte, und erwiderte auf alle Fragen je nach den Stichworten. Frithjof gewann die Überzeugung: Sein Android war gelungen, ganz Mensch! Er unterschied sich durch nichts von den anderen als durch den Mangel von Herz und Gemüt. Und vielleicht nicht einmal dadurch.
