Alisa, Alice Robert Mock
No full textAlisa, Alice' is a humanely cruel and deeply moving drama, full of passion and desire. The clash of two cultures - two worlds - is described with psychological accuracy and depth. Alisa, a young Muslim refugee scarred by the Balkan war finds shelter with Magda, a representative of the common so-called civilised but self-destructive and self-loving western world. Magda, through the sadism arising from her despair and loss of purpose, her psychological confusion, causes the suicide of Alisa. Their relationship permeated as much with love as with hatred, is decanted through the dictatorship of language into a miraculous, irrational and mysterious atmosphere. In places, the style of the play is reminiscent of Pinter's comedy of menace. The realistically based dramatic events are firmly grounded in a recognisable and actual contemporaneity. Poetic ambiguity facilitates universal interpretation, and here and there extends to the magical and surreal.Front Cover -- Preliminary Pages -- Author's Preface -- Alisa, Alice -- Translator's Afterword -- Endnotes -- Back CoverAlisa, Alice' is a humanely cruel and deeply moving drama, full of passion and desire.

Collaborative performances between students and trees using contact microphones and touch gestures. This project sought to expand the performer's awareness of a nonhuman actor, their chosen tree. Beginning with a Tree Awareness meditation, the performers then experimented with touch gestures, actively listening to the tree's response and acoustic characteristics. These gestures were then brought together into an improvisational performance, in concert with the tree, the performer, and other nonhuman agents such as birds or wind.</p

No full textTierversuche in der Forschung sind von umstritten.

Bilder von leidenden Affen prägen unsere Vorstellung von Tierversuchen. Oft werden Forscher dafür verurteilt, wenn nicht gar angegriffen. Doch was sind Tierversuche überhaupt? Wofür werden sie gebraucht? Wo sind sie nötig, und wo könnte man sie ersetzen? Alisa Blessau von Radio Micro-Europa spricht im Studio-Talk mit Florian Dehmelt, Vertreter der Organisation „Pro-Test-Deutschland“ (Tübingen) sowie mit Dr. Wulf-Dieter Heintz von „Ärzte gegen Tierversuche“
