The Lion and the Donkey


Hugo von Trimberg, (ca. 1230–ca. 1313)
Der Renner, in German
Austria, probably Tyrol, last quarter of the fifteenth century



This lengthy poem, a collection of allegorical and moralizing tales drawn from the Bible, Aesop, bestiaries, and other sources, is titled Der Renner (The Runner), as Trimberg intended it to travel throughout Germany. In the image on the left, the lion has been elected king of the animals and has assembled them to report to him their names and ancestries. Attempting to hide his humble origins, the donkey is cagey about his lineage. The fox finally speaks up and reveals that the donkey owned by the baker is the donkey’s father: “faithfulness and simplicity dwell in [his father], and he supports himself by honest toil and to no one does any harm.” There is no shame in admitting one’s humble origins.

The Language Habitat: an Ecopoetry Manifesto

The Language Habitat: an Ecopoetry Manifesto By James Engelhardt Ecopoetry is connection. It’s a way to engage the world by and through language. This poetry might be wary of language, but at its core believes that language is an evolved ability that comes from our bodies, that is close to the core of who we are in the world. Ecopoetry might borrow strategies and approaches from postmodernism and its off-shoots, depending on the poet and their interests, but the ecopoetic space is not a postmodern space. An ecopoem might play with slippages, but the play will lead to further connections. Ecopoetry does share a space with science. One of the concerns of ecopoetry is non-human nature (it shares this concern with the critical apparatus it borrows from, ecocriticism). It certainly shares that concern with most of the world’s history of poetry: How can we connect with non-human nature that seems so much more, so much larger than ourselves? How can we understand it? One way ...

Evdeki "Derin" Okul, Mafya Dizileri

Müslüm Yücel '80'li yıllarda darbenin ağır gölgesi altında gidilen çok partili sistemle birlikte Turgut Özal yastık altında tutulan altınların, kaçak olan markların ve küplerdeki altınların çıkartılmasını ister. Türkiye serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçmiştir, dışa açılmak istemektedir. Bu yıllarda yargı sağlıklı işlemez, yasal yollarla bu iflasın eşiğine gelmiş pek çok kişi ve şirket vardır. Yasal boşluklar, işlemeyen yasalarla birleşir.Tahsil edilmeyen borçlar birikir; alacaklar, verecekler, çekler, senetler mafya üzerinden işlem görmeye başlar. Bundan böyle mafya günlük hayatın bir parçası, bir adalet mekanizmasına döner. Şirketler alacaklarını yasal yollarla değil, çek senet mafyasına giderek tahsil ederler, kişelerin ilk çaldıkları kapı yine mafyadır. Artık bir güç değil, bir sektör gibi işleyen, gayri resmi adalet vardır.[1] 90'lı yıllarda ise çek-senet, devlet ihaleleri, hırsızlık, mal pazarlama, okul çeteleri, kasa hırsızlığı, oto hırsızlığı, fuhuş, göçmen kaçakçılığı...
