Verena Berger Book order

Zahlenkolonnen auf Schreibmaschinenpapier – Hanne Darboven (1941–2009) katalogisierte die Zeit. Die wohl bedeutendste deutsche Konzeptualistin addierte, bildete Quersummen, notierte, hielt fest. Der aufgeschriebene Moment gerann unter ihren Händen zum Kunstwerk. Die montageartige Biografie begibt sich auf Spurensuche und stellt eine faszinierend-androgyne Frauenfigur in den Mittelpunkt. Aus großbürgerlichem Hamburger Hause stammend, erlebte sie ihre künstlerische Erweckung im New York der 1960er-Jahre und machte schließlich eine steile internationale Künstlerkarriere. Erzählte Passagen, Gesprächsprotokolle und Interviews mit Weggefährten wie Lawrence Weiner, Carl Andre, Joseph Kosuth, Kasper König oder Rainer Langhans wechseln einander ab. Diese persönliche Perspektive macht nicht zuletzt auch die künstlerische Entwicklung anschaulich und erleichtert den Zugang zum hermetischen Werk Darbovens.

Verena Berger lives the typical European twentieth century immigrant dream. In 1979, she and her husband, Willy, moved - speaking little to no English - from a densely populated Switzerland to Central British Columbia. Verena's collection of creative non-fiction writings include their experiences as new Canadians living on a remote rural property - where they accumulated a yard full of goats and pigs before building a fence, and had children before running water - and other comical ESL (English as a second language) situations. Immigrants first, second or third generation will relate to these humorous and heartwarming recollections. Verena's writing captures the life of a European urban immigrant to the wilds of Canada. At first overwhelmed by the size of the country, she fell in love with it. Her stories are funny and moving. An excellent read. Ann Walsh, author of The Barkerville Mystery Trilogy and other stories. Bringing to mind the likes of Erma Bombeck, Verena Berger's sliceof- life stories are unique and heart warming, hilarious and thought provoking. A throughly compelling read. Donna Milner, author of "After River" and "The Promise of Rain".

In addition to the close analysis of key films, the essays cover theories of translation and language use as well as central paradigms of cultural studies, especially those of locality, globality and post-colonialism. The volume marks a transdisciplinary contribution to the question of cultural representation within film studies.
