laute Stille. Life is a Story - story.one


Book Description

In dieser Spirale aus Verantwortlichkeiten und Verpflichtungen frage ich mich, ob wir nicht Gefangene unserer eigenen Schöpfungen sind. Diese Pflichten, die uns wie unsichtbare Fesseln binden, scheinen den Raum für die wahren Freuden des Lebens zu erdrücken. Die Zeit verfliegt in einem endlosen Strom von Terminen und Anforderungen, während die Sehnsucht nach einem Moment des Innehaltens und Genießens unaufhörlich in mir wächst.

The stories I told, where never meant to be bold. Even though. I hope you like them, it doesn't matter if you are young or old. Who knows? Maybe they will never be sold.

Dazwischen. Life is a Story - story.one


Book Description

Die meisten Geschichten begegnen uns unerwartet. Sie haben keinen Anfang und kein Ende, keinen Klappentext und keinen Namen. Sie stehen nicht abgepackt in Bücherregalen, sondern sitzen neben uns in der Bahn. Sie liegen in der Stille der Worte, die nie gesagt wurden, und dem Echo derer, die mit zu viel Wucht einschlugen. Sie sind hier. Dazwischen. »Dazwischen« ist die Sammlung von kurzen Geschichten und Gedichten über das Unausgesprochene, über Begegnungen mit Fremden, die Rastlosigkeit der Zeit, und die Risse, die sie hinterlässt. Sie sollen dir Halt geben, in dieser Welt, die überladen ist mit Inhalt. Sie werden dich tragen, von Wort zu Wort.

The Orang Suku Laut of Riau, Indonesia


Book Description

Land reform has been an indisputable part of Indonesian revolution. The consequent execution of development programmes for nation-building have provoked intense hostility over territorial rights. Global market forces in Indonesia have seen increasing flows of transnational investments, technology and resources that have resulted in great demand on sea and land spaces. In this momentum of change, several aspects of rural culture including indigenous populations, like the Orang Suku Laut (people of the sea) of Riau have been deemed by the state architects of development programmes to hinder progress. For generations, the sea and coastal places have been the life and living spaces of the Orang Suku Laut and they claim ownership to these territories based upon customary laws. The developmental pressure thus generated has led to intense struggles over territorial rights. It has also raised issues concerning the social assimilation of indigenous peoples as citizens, religious conversion and cultural identity. Cynthia Chou discusses how Indonesian nation-building development programmes have generated intense struggles over issues pertaining to territorial rights, social assimilation of indigenous peoples as citizens, religious conversion and cultural identity This book is a stimulating read for those interested in Social and Cultural Anthropology, Development Studies and Southeast Asian Studies.
