A profound inside view to Ukraine It was a balancing act between two worlds - the safe, secure life in Germany on the one hand and the magical attraction of a foreign country on the other. With time, for the German journalist and author, Brigitte -Schulze, Ukraine became a second home. She lived and worked there for more than twenty-five years. Kiev, Odessa, Kharkiv, Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk were some of the -stations of her life in Ukraine - a life that was not always without personal risks. Courageously she met all challenges and implemented professional projects together with partners from Germany, -Ukraine, and the countries of the European Union. When the war in East Ukraine began, she was appointed as an -observer for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in -Europe (OSCE). Then came the first thoughts of leaving her beloved Ukraine. What had happened? What was the last straw? With her Ukrainian friends she found warmth and support but the social and bureaucratic structures of the country wore her continually down. Corruption and -resentment had replaced the ideal of a common prosperity. At the same time, she had to see the people in eastern Ukraine suffer the effects of a dramatic conflict. The hope to bring about peace could not be -realized. The story contained in this book can be read like a novel. But it is the true story of the cosmopolitan author Brigitte Schulze.

„Film made in Bombay“ have a much longer and more complex history than „Bollywood“; and what is widely projected as „authentically Indian“ is a politicised and ideologically contested space since the first decades of the 20th century. How did the historical audiences in Bombay actually respond to the first „Indian films“, to an Indian filmaker's mediation of ideas and feelings of „being Indian“? In what way did for instance in 1913-18 the first long narrative films by the pioneer Dhundiraj Govind Phalke convey patriotic sentiments? These are some of the questions tackled by Brigitte Schulze, a sociologist and activist of Indian cinema cultures since the late 1980s. Exploring the beginnings of Bombay's cinema means to enter spaces largely occupied by orientalist or nationalist myths; however, once these are critiqued her discursive and contextualising approach brings into light long forgotten visions and landscapes of a „cinematographic humanism“ beyond caste, class, gender or nation-state.
