Der Komponist Mauricio Kagel (1931-2008) lebte bis 1957 in Buenos Aires. Christina Richter-Ibáñez geht anhand seiner Biografie Aspekten der Politik unter dem Präsidentenpaar Perón/»Evita« ab 1946 sowie deren Auswirkungen auf das Musikleben nach. Neben Kagels musikalischem Engagement stehen seine Kontakte zum Film, zu bildenden Künstlern des Bauhauses, zu den Schriftstellern Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar und Witold Gombrowicz sowie zur französischen Theatergruppe Renaud-Barrault im Mittelpunkt ihrer Analysen. Sie finden sich ebenso wie die Musiker Pierre Boulez, Michael Gielen und Juan Carlos Paz als Bezugspunkt in Kagels Werken und Karriere wieder. »Der Band [setzt] neue Maßstäbe in der Kagel-Forschung; niemand, der an Kagels Werk interessiert ist, wird an ihm vorbeikommen.« Björn Heile, Die Musikforschung, 69/1 (2016) »Das Buch [...] stellt einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Kagel-Forschung dar. Aber auch einem Leser, der an der kulturellen Entwicklung Argentiniens interessiert ist, könnte es eine spannende Lektüre sein.» Helga de la Motte-Haber, das Orchester, 2 (2015) »Lesenswert [...], weil es - abseits vom Schaffen Kagels - aufzeigt, dass Gleichschaltung von Kultur in Diktaturen, egal in welchem Land, immer zur Verarmung der Kultur führt. Aber auch, dass es immer Unentwegte gibt, die sich dagegen auflehnen, zivilen Ungehorsam zeigen und in den Untergrund gehen. Und das macht Mut in Zeiten, in denen die Politik einer Demokratie versucht, Kultur auf ökonomischem Wege abzuwürgen.« Michael S. Zerban, www.opernnetz.de, 01.12.2014 »Sehr fruchtbare Exkursion durch Kagels Buenos Aires.« Raoul Mörchen, Deutschlandfunk - Musikjournal, 21.10.2014 Besprochen in: Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, 5 (2013), Stefan Amzoll Deutschlandfunk, 01.07.2014, Stefan Amzoll Reutlinger Generalanzeiger, 28.08.2014 Read, 9/10 (2014)

Sofia von Ellrichshausen and Mauricio Pezo founded Pezo von Ellrichshausen in the southern Chilean city of Concepción in 2002. The two believe that architecture is a form of knowledge that provides “a tool to experience, read, and eventually understand the world in which we live.” They describe the sequence of design tools and methods that guide their work: “reading buildings by their ‘spatial structure’; replacing the notion of form by ‘format’; articulating rooms without interior; eroding the scale of things; doing austere buildings, hundreds of paintings, over and over again, ‘no more no less’.”For their Current Work lecture, Pezo and von Ellrichshausen will discuss several projects in Chile and beyond, including:Rode house in Chiloe Island, Chile, a curved, asymmetrical, unusual-shaped structure with a pitched roof built entirely of local timber.Vara Pavilion, a labyrinthine structure made of ten overlapping cylinders of different sizes built for the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale.Cien house, a monolithic concrete tower that serves as the duo’s house and studio in Concepción, Chile. Sofia von Ellrichshausen received a degree in architecture from the Universidad de Buenos Aires.Mauricio Pezo holds an MArch from the Universidad Catolica de Chile and an architecture degree from the Universidad del Bio-Bio. He has been awarded the Young Architect Prize by the Chilean Architects Association. The studio is a recipient of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Emerge Prize, the Rice Design Alliance Prize, the Iberoamerican Architecture Biennial Award, and the Chilean Architecture Award. Pezo and von Ellrichshausen were the curators of the Chilean Pavilion in the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale. A conversation with Michael Meredith will follow the lecture. Meredith is a principal of MOS, a New York-based architecture office, and an associate professor and director of graduate studies at Princeton University School of Architecture.

How does one explain the poverty and marginalization of a group that lives in a remarkably successful economy and peaceful society? A native anthropologist, the author provides critical insight into the dynamics of contemporary Mauritian society. In her meticulously researched study of ethnic, gender and racial discrimination in Mauritius, she addresses debates carried out in many developing societies on subaltern identities, ethnicity, poverty and social injustice. The book therefore also offers important empirical material for scholars interested in the wider Indian Ocean region and beyond.

Speaking of Mauritius as an economic miracle has become a cliche, and with good reason: Its development since Independence in 1968 can easily be narrated as a rags-to-riches story. In addition, it is a stable democracy capable of containing the conflict potential inherent in its complex ethnic and religious demography. This book brings together some of the finest scholarship, domestic as well as foreign, on contemporary Mauritius, offering perspectives from constitutional law, cultural studies, sociology, archaeology, economics, social anthropology and more. While celebrating the indisputable, and impressive, achievements of the Mauritian nation on its fiftieth birthday, this book is far from toothless. Looking back inevitably implies looking ahead, and in order to do so, critical self-scrutiny is essential, to be able to learn from the mistakes of the past. The contributors raise fundamental questions concerning a broad range of issues, from the dilemmas of multiculturalism to the marginal role of women in public life, from the question of constitutional reform and the continued problem of corruption to the slow destruction of Mauritius' joy and pride, namely the beauty and purity of its natural scenery. Taking stock of the first fifty years, this book also looks ahead to the next fifty years, giving some cues as to where Mauritius can and should aim in the next decades.

The Chagos islanders were forcibly uprooted from the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean between 1965 and 1973. This is the first book to compare the experiences of displaced Chagos islanders in Mauritius with the experiences of those Chagossians who have moved to the UK since 2002. It thus provides a unique ethnographic comparative study of forced displacement and onward migration within the living memory of one community.Based on in-depth ethnographic fieldwork in Mauritius and Crawley (West Sussex), the six chapters explore Chagossians' challenging lives in Mauritius, the mobilisation of
