    No. 2 / April 2017 Hackberg Post A SATIRICAL GUIDE TO BAVARIA 4 NO RACISM? SENSE AND NONSENSE OF 5 EDUCATIONAL RANKINGS COMIC: UNDER THE THUNDER – 9 500 YEARS LUTHER 14 REVIEWS SIGNALS FROM INSIDE A POPULIST STATE We’ve been asked several times why we chose “Bavaria” as the subject of our journal. For us, “Bavaria” has a symbolic meaning and could indicate any region in Germany, or indeed elsewhere. Interpreted from a 21st-century viewpoint “Bavaria” is the archetype of a populist state model, a model that is now showing its age, but, nevertheless, shows considerable aggressiveness to stay in power. In the present situation, this old populism can only be replaced by a new one, which is leaning more to the extreme right. Once populism has usurped power, it will become very difficult or impossible to achieve a democratic change, since, as the Bavarian model shows, the populist state builds up certain mechanisms which strengthen political power in the long term and which annul the common principle of separations of power. As a citizen of such a state, one is often asked, ‘What‘s it like to live there?’ The answer is disarmingly simple: ‘You are very happy’. You share this happiness with many others. You are living in a ‘beautiful country’ or ‘beautiful city’. Everything’s fine. Only in times of crisis, this becomes a threatening ‘very beautiful country’. So what‘s it like to live in such a country? We would like to tell our readers about it in this and the next issues of our magazine.

  • Samia Yusuf Omar
    La corsa di Samia Yusuf Omar LA MAFIA NEI VIAGGI DELLA SPERANZA Un barcone, uno scafista o un uomo di fiducia sulle coste da cui gli immigrati partono. Tanto basta alla mafia per avere il controllo dei viaggi della speranza. Funziona così il traffico dei clandestini. Un viaggio scomodo e senza certezze, che costa a chi parte mille, millecinquecento euro che finiscono nelle tasche dei clan, quasi totalmente. A volte se si è fortunati vengono fornite anche le barche, altre anche il guidatore. 2 LA STORIA DI SAMIA E’ SOLO UNA • “Il desiderio che muove i giovani migranti è quello di venire in Europa per raggiungere e conoscere una parte di democrazia che poi si vuole riportare nel proprio paese. Un posto quindi dove imparare ed esportare un modo di vita differente”. • Oggi si muovono dal proprio paese sui barconi persone istruite, spesso laureate e che parlano molte lingue. Persone che talvolta rimangono senza nome ma è compito della società civile raccontarne la storia. 3 video musicale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTFqoln3o6Q • Oggi narriamo quella di Samia SAMIA, GLI ESORDI Samia (Mogadiscio, 1991 – Lampedusa 2/04/2012) Samia era la più grande di sei figli di una famiglia di Mogadiscio cresciuta in povertà, il padre era stato ucciso al mercato di Bakara, da un colpo di mortaio durante la guerra civile del movimento di liberazione somalo e la madre era costretta a fare i lavori più umili. Fin da bambina sviluppò la sua passione per lo sport, in particolare per la corsa. 4 SAMIA, GLI ESORDI Samia lasciò la scuola ed aiutò la madre.

  • {PDF EPUB} an Olympic Dream the Story of Samia Yusuf Omar by Reinhard Kleist an Olympic Dream, Shattered
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} An Olympic Dream The Story of Samia Yusuf Omar by Reinhard Kleist An Olympic dream, shattered. The life of Somali sprinter Samia Yusuf Omar came to a tragic end on the perilous Mediterranean sea crossing from Libya to Europe. Samia Yusuf Omar at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. © EPA/Kerim Okten. By Omar Karmi | 11 April 2016. After competing for Somalia in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Samia Yusuf Omar was determined to return to the track at the 2012 London Games. Yet there is no happy ending to this remarkable young woman’s quest for Olympic glory. In his book, An Olympic Dream , published last month in English by SelfMadeHero, the award-winning German graphic artist Reinhard Kleist traces the last years of the Somali sprinter’s life, ending with her ill-fated attempt to reach safety in Europe. A graphic narrative – billed as a novel but also a work of graphic journalism – it begins with her participation in the Beijing Olympics and follows her ambitious, desperate and ultimately doomed attempts to compete in London in 2012. It is a story of ambition and drive, and the refusal to accept that poverty, repression, threats and violence cannot be overcome. It is also the story of millions of displaced by war and hunger – 59.5 million by the end of 2014, and even greater numbers forecast for 2015 – who opt for dangerous routes towards a better and safer life in the absence of other alternatives. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has pushed for an increase in safe, orderly ways for refugees to access protection in Europe under managed programmes – such as humanitarian admission programmes, private sponsorships, family reunion, student scholarships and labour mobility schemes – so that refugees do not resort to smugglers and traffickers to reach safety.

  • When Public Figures Become Comics
    Olivia Albiero When Public Figures Become Comics Reinhard Kleist’s Graphic Biographies The genre of graphic biography is booming internationally. In the German con- text, Reinhard Kleist’s works confirm this trend. A successful artist based in Ber- lin, Kleist is the author of seven book-long biographies of public figures. His characters range from writers to famous politicians, musicians, and professional athletes with traumatic stories. This article examines how Kleist’s graphic biog- raphies differently embrace the possibilities and challenges of narrating and de- picting real-life persons and their experiences. It discusses how the graphic biog- raphies strike a balance between factual and fictional details in reconstructing the original story, to which the artist will never have full access. Because graphic bi- ographies are built around the characters they portray, this article uses Kai Mik- konen’s theory of characters in comics as a framework to show how Kleist ren- ders real-life figures as characters at the intersection of factual and fictional nar- ration. By focusing on Kleist’s Der Traum von Olympia (2015) and Der Boxer (2012), two works that describe traumatic stories embedded in their respective socio-po- litical contexts, it explores how graphic biographies incorporate historical recon- struction, journalistic account, and personal story in rendering their characters. The article shows how these graphic biographies not only portray individual lives, but ultimately encourage reflections on similar stories that may remain untold. 1. Introduction: Reinhard Kleist’s Graphic Biographies For over twenty years, Berlin-based comics artist and illustrator Reinhard Kleist has been producing works that manifest his talent for visual storytelling and his interest in real stories.
