Nova proza iz Nema~ke Autori projekta: Literarisches Colloquium Berlin i Goete Institut Beograd 5 Katja Lange-Miler © Tobias Bom 6 — Katja Lange-Miler — Zle ovce S nema~kog prevela Vir|inija Pasku Le`imo na dva madraca, ne dodiruju}i se sa strane, ali glave uz glavu. Arterija svet knji`evnosti nad tvojom slepoo~nicom pulsira mi uz obraz. Tvoja kosa mi dodiruje nos, ali ne golica, samo miri{e – na {ampon, i na tebe. Ve} minutima ili satima gotovo da se ne pomeramo, ne govorimo ni{ta, di{emo plitko. O~i su ti zatvorene, a moje gledaju uvis ka otvorenom prozoru, u kome se ne ukazuje ni{ta osim par~eta vedrog, ni svetlog niti tamnog neba. I ako bih se uop{te ne{to zapitala, onda samo, da li svi}e ili se smrkava. Ne ose}am se ni umorno niti budno, ni te{ko niti lako, ne moram ni da pu{im ni da jedem, niti da pijem, ni da idem u toalet. Nemam potrebu za distancom, ali ni `elju da te zagrlim. Slobodna sam, ne za sve ve} od svega, pa ipak nisam usamljena… Taj film po~inje ~im pomislim na tebe, na nas. Gledam ga i istovremeno vidim sebe u njemu (igrati bi verovatno bila pogre{na re~), ne kao `enu kakva sam sada, ve} onakvu kakva sam bila pre mnogo godina: mla|a, lep{a i naj~e{}e uz tebe. Ne mogu da vratim taj ve} pomalo izbledeli i izgrebani film, mogu samo da ga ubrzam ili razvu~em, da zaustavim sekvence koje mi se dopadaju, sve dok privi|enje ne nestane, jer opet zvoni telefon ili po{tar, ili sam, budu}i da me ni{ta drugo ne gnjavi, stigla do danas bli`e, sutra dalje obale sna. [to du`e traje film to je manje doga|aja u njemu; a mo`da pore|enje sa bioskopskim ili televizijskim filmom, {to se uz zapinjanje odmotava, nije najbolje, mo`da te slike, {to mi jedna za drugom trepere preko mre`nja~a, pre spadaju u seriju ne vrlo o{trih, i stoga sli~nih dijapozitiva, ~iji nehoti~ni, nikada identi~ni redosled zavisi od mojih treptaja, od toga kada mi se i koliko ~esto o~i zatvaraju, otvaraju, zatvaraju… Par~e polutamnog neba veli~ine prozora, bez oblaka i zvezda, jarkocrveno presvu~eni madraci u dnu moje sobe, na{a tela koja po~ivaju, mi na ulicama Berlina, ti kod D`oa, ja pred kutijom sa starudijom…, samo jo{ snaga moje uobrazilje stvara svaku pojedina~nu sliku i sve njih zajedno, {to opravdava metaforu sa filmom kao i sa serijom dijapozitiva, da nije mirisa tvoje kose, lepljive topline tvojih slepoo~nica i mojih obraza, na{eg asinhronog disanja i skromnosti koja obe}ava slobodu, koju sam ose}ala i stalno iznova ose}am, koju, otkako sam je po prvi put do`ivela, nazivam sre}om, o~aravaju}e nedramati~nom sre}om, koja mi se vra}a kad god je se setim. 7 S Da li je trebalo da se, kad se na{ film davao u realnom vremenu, kad smo bili za fotografisanje, raspitujem za tvoja ose}anja, mada si se gotovo uvek pravio da se ona ~ak ni tebe ne ti~u? Da li si uop{te mogao da govori{ o svojim ose}anjima? Ili si mislio da ih je lak{e izraziti fizi~ki, pogledima, mimikom, gestovima – a ponekad i kurcem? Jesam li se ikada usudila da te pitam {ta se krije iza tvog ponosnog izraza lica kao u belog medveda, tvoje odsutne ravnodu{nosti, retkih napada akcionizma ili ljubavi? Kad god sam to htela da znam, a htela sam dovoljno ~esto, maskirala bih odgovaraju}u re~enicu u navodno najtipi~niju od svih prostih `enskih upitnih re~enica: [ta ti misli{? Tvoj jo{ oskudniji i klasi~no mu{ki odgovor gotovo uvek je glasio: “Ni{ta.” Ili: “Ni{ta konkretno.” Nesumnjivo, nisi spadao me|u one kojima je razgovor potreban, bio si }utljiv, i {to je jo{ va`nije, diskretan. Bio si privr`en – u svojim boljim trenucima – parolama i krilaticama, poentiranim izrekama, ali voleo si da ~ita{, fantastiku, najdeblje romane koji su se mogli nabaviti. Tebi je re~ lak{e upadala u oko i i{la od ruke nego preko usana; zavr{io si za tipografa, kao i ja. “Sino} sam po prvi put posle ~itave ve~nosti ubacio u kljun poslasticu. Divno je biti slobodan, dok je sunce tako toplo. Ali hobi moram i dalje da batalim, sasvim konsekventno. U planu stoji: nabaviti lovu, i}i na karate, potra`iti sopstvenu gajbu.” Pita{ se za{to ti citiram ono {to si sam napisao? Zato {to je sveska sa tvojim nedatiranim bele{kama, koju za sve vreme koje smo proveli zajedno nikada nisam videla kod tebe, tada pripala meni, i ja ne znam da li se – i ako, koliko dobro – se}a{ svojih ta~no osamdeset devet re~enica u kojima se ne pojavljuje moje ime i koje }u ti uprkos tome ili upravo stoga ponoviti, ne hronolo{ki, ali re~ po re~, do kraja na{e pri~e. Ah, Hari, da je ta sveska zavr{ila kod nekog drugog, a on bio dovoljno radoznao da je pro~ita, ne bi ~ak mogao ni da nasluti da je mene ikada bilo u tvom `ivotu, koji je bio i jeste moj. II Bila je slu~ajnost da smo se sreli. A {ta drugo? Mo`da ipak ne{to kao sudbina, jer smo isto tako mogli i da se mimoi|emo. Toga dana, kad smo se slu~ajno sreli, ti nisi bio sam, a ja nisam bila ni dvanaest meseci daleko odande gde sam odrasla i ostala do svoje trideset devete godine. U svako doba mogu da se setim i scena onog sedamnaestog aprila 1987., koje su se – barem u prvim satima – ticale mene a mo`da ~ak i tebe; i za razliku od svet knji`evnosti 8 slika idile na madracu iz filma i sa dijapozitiva, ove scene svaki put bivaju sve jasnije i detaljnije, i stoje mi upravo sada gotovo kao u tekstu pred o~ima, kao da se nisu dogodile, ve} su izmi{ljene, rezultat moje ma{te kojom upravlja mo}na ~e`nja: Metro se zaustavio iznad trga Nolendorf, iza{la sam i ponovo se obradovala gotovo pustoj {irini {to mi je le`ala pod nogama, oivi~ena kioscima za prodaju dener-}evapa, kafeima, prodavnicama tre}erazredne robe i {tandovima sa cve}em, a i zbog toga {to sam prethodnog dana sa jeftinim nov~anikom izgubila samo sitni{, ali ne dokument koji je izbeglici iz DDR-a, u{lom u zemlju preko prihvatnog logora Marijenfelde, omogu}avao da ~itave godine besplatno koristi sva javna prevozna sredstva. Prole}no sunce bilo je visoko na nebu i bacalo ble{tavu, gotovo belu svetlost na trg {to je posle otopljavanja, kome pak nije usledila ki{a, delovao isto toliko nevino koliko i propalo; jo{ vidim i ono dete, mr{avu devoj~icu u fluorescentno zelenoj vetrovci, {to mi je sleva u{la u vidno polje, vukla za sobom kesu sa opremom za fizi~ko i o~igledno nije u`ivala u be`anju sa ~asova.

The bulk of research on women’s policing has focused on the growth of women in law enforcement, barriers, sexual harassment, gender differences, why women are deterred from law enforcement, physical limitations, and instruments used during the recruitment process, and the stress endured after entry into the profession. When looking at Black female officers’ lived experience and perceptions around mentoring; research is lacking. Eight Black female officers from the San Francisco Bay Area participated in this study. Findings revealed that all of the women have faced a recurring sense of discrimination, based on their gender. Many participants also suggested a culture in which women are viewed as less capable and, are, at times, less valued.

  • Technologies of Choice: the Shaping of Choice on the World Wide Web Timothy John Graham Bsocwk
    Technologies of Choice: The shaping of choice on the World Wide Web Timothy John Graham BSocWk A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Social Science Abstract Nowadays, choice is a ubiquitous aspect of everyday life. The emergence of the web has contributed to this explosion of choice, providing a seemingly endless landscape of goods and services to choose from. Whilst choice is held to be fundamental to individual freedom, wellbeing and self-identity, we currently have little understanding about how websites shape or govern choice, and what this might mean for individuals and society. This thesis undertakes a foundational examination of how choice is shaped in online spaces with respect to the design features and architecture of websites. Websites, or parts thereof, that are designed to enable users to navigate choice and compare between options to make decisions, are defined in this study as ‘Technologies of Choice’ (ToC). In undertaking the study, a phased, mixed methods approach was used. Drawing on several fields of literature, including science and technology studies, Foucaultian social theory, current and emerging social perspectives of choice, and Internet studies, a conceptual framework was developed for examining how choice is constructed and governed on the web. The ToC conceptual framework has four over-arching dimensions: ‘Having Choice‘, ‘Facilitating Choice’, ‘Knowledge Production’, and ‘Configuring Users’. The conceptual framework was then elaborated through an analysis of websites, resulting in 12 ‘sub-dimensions’ and 56 ‘features’. The 12 sub-dimensions categorise sets of ToC features that shape choice in particular ways, for example, the ‘scale’ at which choice is provided or the different ‘characteristics of commensurability’ that make comparisons possible.

  • By Neil Simon
    BY NEIL SIMON 22 NOV - 29 DEC 2019 WELCOME Neil Simon’s classic comedy started life in 1965 and ran until 1967, after 964 performances. The spin-off film starring Walter Matthau (the original Oscar Madison) and Jack Lemmon was a huge success followed by a long running television series from 1970-75 with Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. There have been many Broadway revivals, female casting of THE ODD COUPLE roles, and another television series as recently as 2015. So why revisit the play if the idea of two divorced individuals trying to live together and survive is so prominent in our popular culture? The answer is in the breathtaking craftsmanship Neil Simon applied to his plays. The well-rounded believable characters are trapped in situations which bring out the best and worst in humanity. THE ODD COUPLE may have been written in the mid 1960’s but the essence of the relationship between two people poles apart is easily identifiable whether you live in New York or any other place in the world. We laugh at Neil Simon’s ability to make these eclectic characters relatable, but we also get a real sense of his love and affection for this odd couple - even with all their flaws! Enjoy this very special cast bringing to life a very special play.
