1 0 T H E U R O P E a N 22-25 NOVEMBER 2018 SPITZ/KREMS 10th EUROPEAN LITERATURE DAYS 22-25 NOVEMBER 2018 SPITZ/KREMS A.D. DONAU CONTENTS 3 Foreword 5 Agenda at a Glance 13 Agenda in Detail 29 Fringe Programme / Moderators 34 Readings / Workshops in Schools 37 Tickets / Booking and Reservations Service / Venues Dear Guests and Participants of the European Literature Days! The European Literature Days celebrate their first milestone: 2018 is the tenth anniversary year. This unique literature festival enjoys an outstanding reputation far beyond our country’s bor- ders. It is fortunate that our ten-year anniversary coincides with Austria’s EU-Presidency. This is a wonderful occasion that I wish to mark by highlighting Austria’s decisive contribution to culture. I refer to the European dimension, which characterizes our culture, and which the European Literature Days bring to life in an exemplary fashion. A host of internationally renowned writers gathers again in the Wachau region to share ideas. In 2018, the focus continues to be the topical themes of contemporary so- ciety: How is the world educated? What is the status of reading books and literary film? And what is the position of literary- artistic narrative in the age of wall-to-wall media coverage? I am convinced that literature is still relevant today. The European Literature Days are a model that underlines this. Besides the intellectual exchange, the highlight of the festival are meetings with prominent European writers – this special inter- action gives the European Literature Days their unique appeal for interested guests and visitors. Stimulating events inspire curiosity for reading books. The Wachau countryside, the historic locations in Spitz and Stein an der Donau with their wonderful ambiance and not least the regional gourmet food provide the ideal backdrop for this festival. Of special interest are the events in schools and at the Karikaturmuseum Krems that are designed to attract a young audience. The collaborative work with the eljub European Youth Meetings is an exemplary initiative to promote cultural commu- nication in Lower Austria. I look forward to the European Literature Days 2018 and wish the team every success. Johanna Mikl-Leitner Governor of Lower Austria 1 Dear Guests and Participants of the European Literature Days! Writers and literary talents instinctively respond to current trends; they can trace them, counteract and shine a light on them. In an age of wall-to-wall media coverage, we are sur- rounded more than ever with a myriad of texts and images. Can we still tell the difference between fact and fiction? What do facts initiate in our minds? What affects us emotionally and what confronts us with insights? This year, the European Literature Days explore the interdiscip- linary discourse between literature and film, language and the visual image. I am delighted that Wachau, with the support of the EU project “Literaturhaus Europa”, has become a place for international networking and for getting together with Europe’s literary community. Exceptional literary narrative – regardless of its medium of communication – gives us direction. Even in current times, it has not lost any of its eloquence and enchantment. I hope that these influences will continue to resonate at this year’s European Literature Days. Gernot Blümel Federal Minister for the EU, Art, Culture and Media 2 FOREWORD EUroPEAN LIteratURE DAYS 2018 Get to Know Literature. Get Together in Wachau. For the tenth successive year, Europe’s literary community gets together in the unique ambiance of Wachau for a weekend of intel- lectual debate and to introduce exceptional books. From 22 to 25 November, you can look forward to a special anniversary occasion: writers and film directors discuss the relationship of literature and film. Alongside the entertaining literary, musical and gastronomic events, we also present several film screenings. The Literature Days open on Thursday evening at the Klangraum Krems Minoritenkirche with another debate this year led by Robert Menasse on a current contemporary issue. Under the head- line theme How is the world educated?, Robert Menasse is joined by philosopher Richard David Precht to discuss whether and how we are equipped to deal with the challenges of the future. At Schloss Spitz and the Kino Kesselhaus Krems, the agenda for Friday and Saturday carries on with Q&A discussions, readings and film screenings about this year’s theme of narrative in literature and film accompanied, among others, by Katharina Hacker, Ildikó Enyedi, Kathrin Resetarits and Răzvan Rădulescu. Which pictures and narrative plots affect us emotionally? Why and how do they do this, and why do other media leave us totally indifferent? Another programme highlight introduces selected books together with wine tastings, fine food and music: on Friday, withVea Kaiser and the guitar and cello duo Sain Mus; and on Saturday, 3 including Nino Haratischwili, Carmen Stephan and Madame Nielsen. On Sunday, Ilija Trojanow will be awarded this year’s Austrian Book Trade Honorary Award for Tolerance in Thought and Action as part of a literary and musical matinée with the ensemble ContrasTon from Budapest. The versatile fringe programme offers film screenings at theKino im Kesselhaus, guided tours through Spitz an der Donau and the Maritime Museum as well as the exhibition Austria’s Finest Books/ Die schönsten Bücher Österreichs at the Karikaturmuseum Krems. We warmly invite you to join us!

  • Bildung Reloaded–Educational Challenges for a Globalized World
    L2 Journal, Volume 7 Issue 4 (2015), pp. 20-37 http://repositories.cdlib.org/uccllt/l2/vol7/iss4/art3/ Bildung Reloaded–Educational Challenges for a Globalized World JULIA CAMPOS Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich E-mail: [email protected] Worldwide, education promises a better future for aspiring generations. However, our current educational landscape has been shaped by neoliberal thinking and is thus often oriented toward economic objectives. In Germany Bildung is a notion coined by philosophers representing a broad liberal and critical education, and the cultural and historical context of this ideal dictates how scholars and society defend educational values. However, in a so-called “knowledge society,” education and language proficiency become parameters to assess the economic value of members of society vis-à-vis employment. In particular, immigrants are required to prove their merit in the labor market by learning German and acquiring educational qualifications. The influx of immigrants into German society thus requires a new approach to Bildung. This article explores the impact of economic reasoning and globalization on the discourse surrounding Bildung. _______________ INTRODUCTION “Bildung is the endless voyage of the individual towards him/herself as part of an ideal humanity.” (Masschelein & Ricken, 2003, p. 140) In 2009, more than 100,000 university students at major universities in Germany and Austria united in the so-called Bildungsstreik (Bildung strike) and protested against underfunded educational systems (Ribolits, 2011, p. 115). The protesters announced, “Wir sind hier, wir sind laut, weil man uns die Bildung klaut” (“We are here, we are loud, because our Bildung is being stolen,” own translation) and demanded “Bildung for all, education for free” (own translation), thus criticizing the government’s decision to introduce tuition fees to compensate for cuts in the education budget.

  • John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and More
    John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and more The eldest of three children, actor and musician John Ronald Simm was born on 10 July 1970 in Leeds, West Yorkshire and grew up in Nelson, Lancashire. He attended Edge End High School, Nelson followed by Blackpool Drama College at 16 and The Drama Centre, London at 19. He lives in North London with his wife, actress Kate Magowan and their children Ryan, born on 13 August 2001 and Molly, born on 9 February 2007. Simm won the Best Actor award at the Valencia Film Festival for his film debut in Boston Kickout (1995) and has been twice BAFTA nominated (to date) for Life On Mars (2006) and Exile (2011). He supports Man U, is "a Beatles nut" and owns seven guitars. John Simm quotes I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though. Maybe my wife would disagree. I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place ... in the country that I could live. You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it. Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people.
