    Torpor
    'Es gibt eine Zeitform der Sehnsucht und Reue, in der jeder Schritt, den man tut, verzögert, überprüft, ein wenig zurückgehalten wird. Die Vergangenheit und die Zukunft werden vorausgesetzt, eine ideale Welt, die im Schatten eines wenn existiert. Es wäre gewesen.'Torpor ist eine Erzählung über die frühen 1990er, über die Zeit von Amerikas erstem Golfkrieg, den Fall der Berliner Mauer und die Medienrevolution in Rumänien: 'Es ist der Beginn einer Neuen Weltordnung', schreibt Chris Kraus. Sylvie Green und Jerome Shafir sind zwei Intellektuelle und 'wurzellose Kosmopoliten', die weder im New Yorker East Village noch an anderen Orten in den USA richtig zu Hause sind. Sie reisen nach Berlin und beginnen eine Irrfahrt durch ein zerfallendes Osteuropa. Sylvies absurder Plan, in Rumänien ein Kind zu adoptieren, soll nicht nur ihre Beziehung retten, sondern auch Jerome helfen, die Anthropologie des Unglücklichseins zu schreiben, sein Buch über den Holocaust. Torpor (im Original erschienenbei Semiotext(e), 2006) ist das erste Buch der Autorin, das auf Deutsch verfügbar ist. Wie in ihrem Briefroman I Love Dick sind auch hier die beiden Hauptfiguren, obwohl diesmal fiktive Charaktere, unschwer als Alter Egos des realen Ehepaars Chris Kraus und Sylvère Lotringer zu erkennen. Kraus teils satirische Beobachtungen der intellektuellen Szene Ost- und Westberlins und der Bedeutung der Öffnung osteuropäischer Länder vor dem Hintergrund der deutschen Vergangenheit beschreibt sie aus der Perspektive einer amerikanischen Künstlerin.

But Oar cannot sleep, not yet. There are powerful forces seeking her destruction for reasons unknown. There are old allies who need her assistance and a true history that must be revealed. There is much Oar must accomplish before the "apathetic hibernation" overcomes her, though time is decidedly her enemy.

    I Love Dick , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 506min
    In I Love Dick, published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. It's no wonder that I Love Dick instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative. I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isn't afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in the world and it's a book you won't put down until the author's final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation. ungekürzt.

    Abiding in Mindfulness, Volume 2: On Feeling, the Mind, and Dhamma, Hörbuch, Digital, 635min
    In the words of the Buddha, the four foundations of mindfulness (the four satipat­t­hana) are "the direct path for the purification of beings, for the surmounting of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of dukkha (suffering) and discontent, for acquiring the true method, for the realization of Nibbana." Within the quintessential discourse called the Satipat­t­hana Sutta, we find the Buddha's seminal teachings about the practice of meditation. On Abiding in Mindfulness, Volume 2: On Feeling, the Mind & Dhamma, esteemed teacher and author Joseph Goldstein presents an audio curriculum to reveal the deeper insights of this vital sutta - and how it serves to inform and guide your own daily practice. Course objectives: Discuss the second foundation of mindfulness: mindfulness of the feelings, including worldly and unworldly feelings Discuss the third foundation of mindfulness: mindfulness of the mind, including a discussion of self-judgment, as well as the contracted and distracted mind Explore the refrain of the Sutta: including the mindfulness of reactivity, the mindfulness of arising and passing away, as well as the mindfulness of internal and external experience Discuss the fourth foundation of mindfulness: mindfulness of the Dhammas, including mindfulness of the five hindrances (desire, aversion, sloth and torpor, restlessness, and doubt) Explore the five aggregates, including material elements, feeling, perception and formations, formations and consciousness, as well as non-self The Buddha begins this pivotal section of the sutta with a rhetorical question: How does one abide contemplating feelings? Before you can answer this question, explains Goldstein, you must understand what the Buddha means by "feeling". Returning to the Pali word vedana, he points out the qualities of "pleasantness, unpleasantness, or neutrality" that arise in every moment of experien Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Goldstein.
