Trauma Hero Myth

Iraq veteran questions the ‘trauma hero myth’ put forward in war literature

Michiko Kakutani

  "In the case of the Iraq War, (Roy Scranton) contended, the big questions of 'what U.S. soldiers were fighting for and the bigger problem of who they were killing' were often pushed aside 'in favor of the more narrow and manageable question of 'what it was like.'

  "These ideas, and Scranton’s anger at the catastrophic consequences of a misguided and unnecessary war, inform the tone, story and point of view of his ambitious first novel, 'War Porn.'"

                                                                                               from My San Antonio

Bauhaus Travel Book.

Weimar. Dessau. Berlin

Susanna Knorr, Ingolf Kern, Christian Welzbacher, authors

"The present-day perception of the icon that is the Bauhaus concerns a curiously isolated phenomenon in terms of time and space. But the historic Bauhaus (1919–1933), the legendary design school and its renowned exponents that this travel guide is devoted to, operated within a very concrete, tension-filled political and geographical framework. It left its mark here. From here, from the fascination of the authentic historical site that is complexly mirrored in the present, the history of the Bauhaus “model” is now told in a new way in three chapters. The journey leading from Weimar and Dessau to Berlin for example combines the well known architectonic signets by Henry van de Velde and Walter Gropius or the three leading museum collections in these cities with previously hardly noticed matters. Interspersed short essays highlight insights into the past and present."

"They push us towards the world of total work,
our politicians with their seedy minds
and dubious labels, Communist or
Capitalist, none wanting freedom-
only power. All that reminds us
we are human and therefore not a herd
must be concealed or killed or slowly left
to die..."
