IEDEREEN.INC (Dutch)
2017 by Jannet Vaessen
Of we nu willen of niet, we beoordelen elkaar voortdurend. Op uiterlijk, afkomst, sekse, opleiding, inkomen. Binnen een paar seconden vormen we ons een beeld van de ander. Voor een kleine groep mensen pakt dat bijna altijd goed uit. Wie zijn die mensen? Wanneer hoor je bij de ingroup en waar word jij buitengesloten? Als je het mechanisme van in- en uitsluiting begrijpt kun je het aanpakken.
Jannet Vaessen, oprichter van WOMEN Inc., laat zien dat het wel degelijk zin heeft om op te komen voor je positie: als je het maar strategisch doet. Hoe krijg je sceptici in beweging? Hoe blijf je uit de slachtofferrol?
Vaessen verbindt eigen ervaringen en observaties vloeiend met wetenschappelijke inzichten. Zo creëert ze een nieuwe context voor het oververhitte meningencircus rond maatschappelijke ongelijkheid. Vaessen vindt in het begrip 'inclusiviteit' de sleutel om op een nieuwe en constructieve manier met verschillen en gelijkheid om te gaan.
IEDEREEN Inc. is een optimistische eyeopener, geschreven door een vrouw die weet hoe ze iets voor elkaar kan krijgen.
MY WORK IS NOT MY WORK (English)
2008 by Pierre Bernard
The French designer Pierre Bernard focuses in his work — a comprehensive survey of which is offered here for the first time – on the public domain, on communication between governments and citizens, on notification and orientation in the public realm. A striking example is his concept for the Louvre’s corporate identity in Paris. Bernard is omnipresent in France with his design for the distinctive seal of the French National Parks. Since 1991 Pierre Bernard leads the Atelier de Création Graphique in Paris.
PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED (English)
2000 by Paulo Freire
First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. The methodology of the late Paulo Freire has helped to empower countless impoverished and illiterate people throughout the world. Freire's work has taken on especial urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is increasingly accepted as the norm. With a substantive new introduction on Freire's life and the remarkable impact of this book by writer and Freire confidant and authority Donaldo Macedo, this anniversary edition of Pedagogy of the Oppressed will inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general readers for years to come.
10 RULES FOR STUDENTS,
TEACHERS, AND LIFE (English)
1967-68 by John Cage and Sister Corita Kent
RULE ONE: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile.
RULE TWO: General duties of a student —
pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.
RULE THREE: General duties of a teacher —
pull everything out of your students.
RULE FOUR: Consider everything an
experiment.
RULE FIVE: Be self-disciplined — this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.
RULE SIX: Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail, there’s only make.
RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.
RULE EIGHT: Don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes.
RULE NINE: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.
RULE TEN: “We’re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities.”
HINTS: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything — it might come in handy later.
THE NEW YORK TRILOGY (English)
1985-86 by Paul Auster
Ostensibly presented as detective fiction, the stories of The New York Trilogy have been described as "meta-detective-fiction", "anti-detective fiction", "mysteries about mysteries", a "strangely humorous working of the detective novel", "very soft-boiled", a "metamystery" and a "mixture between the detective story and the nouveau roman"
