könnte man da nicht ein Loriotsches "ach was" noch dazu 'rein' hören, i.e. Loriot ≤ Kluge > Kleist ?

finde das ein spannendes eigenes Genre, irgendwo zwischen Soziographie, „Chronique d‘un ete“, Vernakulär-Dokumentarismus und Gonzo Journalismus

Wildwood NJ klingt sehr spannend (und erinnert an Pasolinis Comizi d‘amore), ich hoffe der wird auch bald Berlinale-Verhinderten zugänglich sein

I was going to ask that… Presse oder Hobel?

"Regenmacher" Charles Hatfield setzt San Diego unter Wasser Charles Hatfield verspricht, Regen in die Dürre Kaliforniens zu bringen. Oft hat er Erfolg, manchmal vielleicht aus Zufall. Im Januar 1916 endet seine Arbeit in einer Katastrophe.

Interessantes Feature von Francis Nenik über ›Hatfield, the Rainmaker‹, eine der schillerndsten Figuren in »Risse in der Erde« von Mark Arax (Matthes & Seitz Berlin, 2023)

Nice new short book series Signale|minima launching in German studies from @cornellupress.bsky.social these days with first titles

For anybody in the tristate area, Princeton's German Department is hosting a chamber music concert on February 19, with the wonderful Gabrielle Ferrari lending her voice to Bettina von Arnim. Program to follow!

Long in the making, out now: the latest issue of Diacritics, dedicated entirely to Walter Benjamin's "Fate and Character" (1919) – his dense reflection on fate, escape and liberation, written in a world in the grip of war, failed revolutions and erupting fascism

Looks great, congrats

Great, curious in what context did you see it? Will think of more recommendations…

and 2) "Indoctrination" about managerial/neoliberal rehearsing and affect suppression in 1986 West Germany – The first longer of F's "observational films" (filmed in the murkily famed because Nazi-founded "Harzburger Akademie für Führungskräfte"). Might also interest you @quinnslobodian.com…

Indeed. Currently starting my Farocki-focused writing semester, i.e. the "theory film" project. Looking forward to reading your thoughts @benjaminschultzfig.bsky.social.
And to recommend two HF things out of the ordinary, if I may: 1) www.harun-farocki-institut.org/en/2022/05/1...

Finde das eine gute Frage. Ich hoffe, es trauen sich Redaktionen, neue Wege und echte Versuche mit Autor:innen zu gehen, um Transatlantismus neu zu denken. Wäre schade, wenn es nur zu Präsentistisches und daher Erwartbares zu lesen und hören gäbe.

especially after @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social wrote about his successfull recent move to on-the-go multi-device writing with Google Docs instead of Word (can't find his post atm).

Yes, I also wanted to try Open/Libre O again at some point, having had the same buggy experience some years ago; am also hoping to skip out on the forced AI implementation. And Re: Cloud-based: I was even thinking about paying for the Collabora Suite on the Nextcloud that I use,

"Im verlinkten Video sehen Sie, wie unser Robo-Gremium die Details ihrer KI-generierten Ablehnung tanzt."

time to try an open source alternative?

Glückwunsch, looking forward to what's coming!

Brunch hang on a weekend instead of dinner party worked better: less formal, more easy going, no alcohol or long cooking prep necessary, parents can bring kids, people can go & come a bit more spontaneously, etc. Give it a try…
