Liebe Freunde, Mitstreiter und Interessierte,

Am Mittwoch, dem 20. Februar, laden wir zum zwölften Mal zur Lese- und Film- Reihe cinéma littérature, einer Kooperation der Zeitschrift das gefrorene meer mit dem Dresdner Programmkino Thalia - Cinema. Coffee and Cigarettes. Veranstaltungsbeginn ist 20.00 Uhr im ebendort, (Dresden, Görlitzer Str. 6)

In guter Tradition werden Gedichte und Erzählungen im Original und in Übersetzung inszeniert. So erzählt eine Geschichte der Nepalesischen Schriftstellerin Joshi Suhma in englischer Sprache von der Suche nach einem wahrhaft mytischen Bild. Dierk Knechtels Kurzerzählung berichtet vom einem letzten Hindernis, das überwunden werden muss, ehe ein alter Mann endlich den Tod in seine Arme schließen darf. Die Gedichte der bekannten russischen Dichterin Marjana Gaponenko lassen greise Bienen fliegen und erzählen von der Hand im Maul des Scheesturms.

Nach einer kurzen Pause wirft der Film "Control" einen Blick in das kurze und reiche Leben des Joy Division Sänger Ian Curtis. Mit wunderbaren Bilder und einem
außergwöhnlichen Soundtrack, gibt es dieses Regiedebut des Fotografen Anton Corbijn im Original mit Untertiteln.

Auf unserer Webseite finden Sie neben einer ganzen Reihe von neuen Texte der letzten Monaten - www.dasgefrorenemeer.de -

REVIEW: Bitter Gourds Short Story Collection

-
THE BITTER TRUTH Sushma Joshi, February 2002, Kathmandu Post The stories are small, but with a spicy aftertaste that could be from nowhere else but the subcontinent. Talat Abbasi's Bitter Gourd and Other Stories is a collection of nugget sized, delectable tales laid out, in typical desi fashion, amongst the detritus of social stratification, family ennui, economic marginalization and diaspora. Gently dousing her stories with a generous portion of irony and satire, the Karachi born writer brings to the fore the small hypocrisies and the mundane corruptions of everyday life in Pakistan. Whether dealing with a birdman or a poor relation, a rich widow or an immigrant mother, Ms. Abbasi touches the mythic heart that ticks besides all these caricatures. The ghostly narrative influence of Virginia Woolf, with a pinch of Victorian lit thrown in for good measure, is discernable, although most of the voices are centered around the "how kind, how kind" echoes of South Asia

The jyotish astrological analysis of Robin Williams' death

-
I took a look at Robin Williams birthchart through the jyotish system of astrology today (note this is NOT the same system as the horoscope people read in the newspapers, which is sun sign based astrology.) There is really nothing surprising about his suicide once you see the chart. Williams has a formation that’s common for celebrities: His Moon is with Rahu, in lagna, or ascendant. Rahu signifies great fame, glamor, and also electrical lights and methods of communications. Rahu also signifies alcohol and drugs. Together with Moon, it often signifies mental illness as well. Rahu matures, or shows its full strength, at age 42. Actress Catherina Zeta Jones, who came out saying she had bipolar manic-depression at 42, is one of many other celebrities who manifest this.  When Rahu is placed in the First House, Ketu falls in the Seventh House, the house of marriage and relationship (Rahu and Ketu are always 7 houses away from each other). Ketu is a signifier for detachment and

Anzaldua at the liminal edges of identity

BORDERLAND CONSTRUCTING AUTOBIOGRAPHY: ANZALDUA AT THE LIMINAL EDGES OF IDENTITY SUSHMA JOSHI A shorter version of this was published at Mosaic Literary Magazine Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands: La Frontera is a book that transcends all boundaries of genre and style. A text that includes poetry side by side with fragments of mainstream history, and intermixes them with personal and collective testimony, memory, revisionist history and journal entries, the closest description of it could be a poetic-political auto-ethnobiography. At once dialogic and polyvocal, the book has been one of the seminal texts in expanding notions of self-representation, and ways of formulating identity in late twentieth century America. In this paper, I look at some of the ways that Borderlands influenced and expanded the genre and conceptualization of autobiography. Anzaldua is clearly writing herself into existence through her act of creativity, and in this process she acknowledges and brings int
