The collection features a speaker who navigates the haunting remnants of memory, potentially reflecting the experiences of a former soldier or interrogator. Through vivid and feverish imagery, the poems explore themes of captivity and the intertwining of time and place, creating a dark yet mesmerizing tapestry of emotions. Recognized with the 2011 De Novo poetry prize, OOtt's work invites readers into a profound exploration of the psyche and the shadows of the past.
After an asteroid hits the moon and knocks it out of orbit, global chaos ensues when people lose the ability to sleep. We follow society’s descent into madness through the eyes of a failed zoologist, an almost-bankrupt resort owner, and an underage bartender on a Belize island resort cut off from the rest of the world. As island resources become scarce and conflict erupts, the main characters will need to overcome their demons and fatigue in order to survive.
Set in a post-apocalyptic America marked by bigotry and technological fallout, the narrative follows Mere Roosevelt, a disillusioned worker for the tyrannical George Polk. After quitting his job, Mere finds himself targeted by Polk and must navigate a perilous underworld where racial identity plays a crucial role. As he evades police and enigmatic assassins, the story delves into themes of love, hate, and the complexities of morality, all within a society influenced by an organic supercomputer.
The book offers a comprehensive exploration of art's role in inculturation within Africa, presenting a revised edition of a significant study first published in 2000. It contributes to the theological discourse on the integration of indigenous African and Christian artistic traditions, marking a pioneering effort in Malawi to develop a systematic theology centered on symbolic expression in the African context. This work enriches ongoing discussions about cultural identity and religious expression in Africa.
Drawing from the influences of pop culture, politics, art, and social media, the poems in this collection explore the nuances of daily life. Martin Ott captures the essence of contemporary existence, weaving together themes that resonate with modern readers and reflect the complexities of the world around us.
The Working Paper Series offers an opportunity to put interim results from the work of the PhD students and the units up for discussion.
Der Umgang mit der römischen Vergangenheit Süddeutschlands
Der kulturelle Austausch zwischen Italien und Süddeutschland in der Zeit der Renaissance prägte auch den Umgang mit den römischen Altertümern nördlich der Alpen. Vom Acker ins Kunstkabinett lassen sich die Wege von römischen Fundmünzen verfolgen. Anhand der vielerorts noch sichtbaren antiken Inschriftensteine gelangten Gelehrte wie Konrad Peutinger, Johannes Aventinus und Marcus Welser zu einem Konzept der römerzeitlichen Struktur der Landschaft. Grundlegend dafür war die literarische Form der „Inschriftensylloge“, einer Sammlung von lokalisierten Inschriften. Der Entstehungsprozeß dieser literarischen Tradition im Italien des 15. Jahrhunderts, ihre Identifizierung als topographisches Genre und ihre Weiterentwicklung im Netzwerk der humanistischen Bewegung südlich und nördlich der Alpen im 16. Jahrhundert sind wichtige Aspekte der vorliegenden Studie.
