Das Buch „Der lange Arm der Stasi“ von Gabriele Stötzer ist im diesjährigen Wettbewerb „Die Schönsten Deutschen Bücher“ der Stiftung Buchkunst in der Kategorie „Sachbuch“ ausgezeichnet worden. 🏆 Die Autorin und Künstlerin war in der DDR Zentrum des künstlerischen Untergrunds in Erfurt. In ihrem Buch berichtet Gabriele Stötzer anhand von Stasiakten über die Observation der alternativen Kunstszene in der früheren Bezirkshauptstadt und legt dabei ebenso eindrücklich wie anschaulich die innere Logik der Überwachung frei. 📚 Der mit 10.000 Euro dotierte „Preis der Stiftung Buchkunst“ wurde am 08. September 2023 im Rahmen der Preisverleihung im Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main verkündet. Die Stiftung Buchkunst kürt die bestgestalteten Bücher des Jahres. Das Augenmerk liegt dabei auf Gestaltung, Konzeption und Verarbeitung der Publikationen. 🎉 Die Bundesstiftung Aufarbeitung hat die Herausgabe des Buches im Rahmen ihrer Förderung unterstützt. .

How fascinating and tangled was the spy world at the end of WWII! From Transylvanian Nazis to Iron Guard fascists to Romanian princes and princesses, they all sold information, often to several, if not all, intelligence services. A lucrative business, I must say.

World Languages, Literatures and Linguistics: Discontinuance of all programs. Eliminate all 32 faculty. Sadly confirming earlier reports. Again: 32 faculty.

Fawn season in our front yard. The second super cute visitor this week. #ATX

Best advice I got in grad school was not to be angry when someone got something they didn’t deserve but instead to be hopeful that I would get something better that I also didn’t deserve

Need an example of present-day Balkanism, complete with gender tropes? Look no further than this piece on #CharlesIII's alleged "affair" with #Transylvania, the land "beyond modernity". Unbelievable that @NewStatesman gets away with such exoticizing prose tinyurl.com/3ym86x2r
