manuskripte: Ohnmacht
FORUM STADTPARK – Fortress Ohnmacht
Ohnmacht of all kinds - and how one can (hopefully!) free oneself from them - are the focus of manuskripte, edition nr. 240. The issue is characterized by the cooperation with Forum Stadtpark and its literary consultant Fiston Mwanza Mujila.
The Forum's annual theme is reflected both graphically, through the "Ohnmacht Fantasies" of Haras Ananas, and in the content: the opening chapter, for example, shows three different ways into the "Fortress Ohnmacht" - and out of it again. After all, this defensible prison, in which all too many believe themselves to be locked up in, view of the permanent crises of our present, may well turn out to be a castle in the air: "If you manage to live without power - powerlessness disappears like a ghost." (Ann Cotten)
In their own way, each of the following contributions disempowers the feeling of Ohnmacht. Those who write, act. And print media such as newspapers, books, or even literary magazines are awakened from their apparent Ohnmacht by opening them up, by reading them.
-Andreas Unterweger, publisher of manuskripte
The three authors Ilma Rakusa, Ann Cotten and Marie Gamillscheg will not only present the contents of this magazine's edition, but also discuss it thoroughly.
This way, you will get to hear three writers as well as three views on Ohnmacht.
In cooperation with FORUM STADTPARK, the magazine manuskripte is presenting its 240th edition. Conveniently, its main focus is Ohnmacht.
