  The Eighty Years War - The...

  The war between the protestant Netherlands, mostly led by William of Orange, and Catholic Spain, was one of the marks in Dutch history. This war has determined the beliefs of many people who now live about the three rivers that go through the country: Most of the people north of the rivers are protestant, and most of the believers below them (even throughout Belgium as well) are Catholic. This is no coincidence. 
  The war in the 1600s has become a symbol of Dutch resistance, independence, and the royal family (of Orange). In that sense, traditions date back hundreds of years, some them that have their roots in this century. Learn more about what caused the 80 years of war between these two countries, how France was involved, and how it helped form the boundaries and borders of those countries today.

  The Bengal Famine - The...

  The Bengal Famine of 1943 was not an isolated event, but rather the culmination of years of political, economic, and environmental factors. To understand the tragedy that claimed the lives of millions, it is essential to examine the conditions that led to this devastating famine. 
  British colonial policies in India played a significant role in shaping the socio-economic landscape of Bengal. Under British rule, India’s agrarian economy was restructured to serve the needs of the colonial administration and its industrial empire. While the British extracted resources for their own benefit, they paid little attention to the welfare of the local population. In Bengal, a region heavily reliant on rice cultivation, this exploitation became increasingly evident as agricultural output was redirected to support the war effort, leaving the local population vulnerable to food shortages. 
  The economic strain caused by World War II exacerbated the situation in Bengal. As Britain sought to maintain its colonial empire, large quantities of rice were diverted from Bengal to support the war in the Pacific, where the Japanese threat loomed large. Additionally, the colonial government’s focus on military expenditure rather than economic development in India drained resources that could have been used for famine prevention and agricultural aid. This led to an economic imbalance, further disrupting food production and distribution in Bengal.

  A guide to authentic North Asian Shamanism, past and present 
   
   
    
  The word shamanism is frequently bandied about but rarely used accurately. Shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood coined the following definition: "A shaman is someone chose by the spirits [typically at/before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they: A) experience 'spirit flight,' where they go to meet the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman's voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman's community.  Without the spirits, and their blessing, a shaman can not exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism." 
   
   
   
  Author David Shi, for whom these are family traditions, explores the history and practice of shamanism. What is it? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? Shi guides listeners through unfamiliar territory—the landscape of North Asia—and through what are largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions. Spirit Voices takes and in-depth look at three main cultural shamanic traditions: Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus.

  he Sickness Unto Death, and Other Fun Danish Party Games: Kierkegaard Without the Prozac is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally insightful, and occasionally soul-crushing guide to philosophy’s original sadboy, Søren Kierkegaard. 
  Tired of reading philosophy that feels like intellectual sandpaper? This book unpacks Kierkegaard’s anxiety-fueled, despair-drenched theology with the humor and honesty it desperately needs. From aesthetic dead-ends to existential panic, from absurd leaps of faith to spiritual ghosting, this irreverent (but accurate!) guide doesn’t just explain Kierkegaard—it translates him for the modern reader who’s spiritually curious and emotionally exhausted. 
  Perfect for readers who love philosophy but hate philosophers, theology with a side of dark humor, and the occasional mental breakdown in pursuit of authenticity. 
  What you’ll get inside: 
  Pseudonyms, despair, and that one time Abraham almost committed murder in the name of faith 
  The aesthetic life: fun until it isn’t 
  Why being a good person might still mean you’re completely lost 
  Faith, absurdity, and how to jump into the void without looking down 
  Kierkegaard’s existential glow-up in modern philosophy (yes, Sartre, we see you) 
  A roadmap for reading his actual books without losing your will to live 
  And a final call to wake up and stop living someone else’s life 
  No prior philosophy degree required—just a sense of humor, a tolerance for paradox, and maybe a journal for emotional damage control.

  Act 2: Debrism

  »ACT 2 | DEBRISM« is the first release on Martin Hossbach’s newly-founded sub-label Martin Hossbach Word which will release readings and audio plays only. Scott King recorded »ACT 2 | DEBRISM« using his dictaphone in one afternoon at home.
  
  King writes:
  »On the afternoon of February 28th, during the long, locked-down winter of 2020/21, I sat at my desk and looked through the files on my laptop. I have hundreds of incomplete ‘projects’, thousands of ‘emails to self’ - ‘new idea for a novel, ‘new idea for a public sculpture’, ‘new idea for an opera’, and so on. None of these ideas ever got made, because somewhere along the line, I had lost the ability to ‘just do’. What went wrong?
  
  For as long as I have known it, I have always loved and believed in the famous Kippenberger maxim: ‘Heute denken, morgen fertig’ (‘Think today, be finished tomorrow’). Though my own maxim had become much closer to: ‘Heute denken, morgen denken. Und übermorgen auch’ (‘Think today, think tomorrow. And the next day’). I had become so reliant on the skills of others (‘makers’) – and worse – even more reliant on the opinions of others (‘gatekeepers’) that my output had dwindled to virtually nothing. This had to stop, so I set myself a challenge: RECORD A SPOKEN WORD ALBUM THIS AFTERNOON. I also set myself some rules: Must not be edited. Must be done at this desk (album cover included). Must not ask for any help. Must not worry about what anyone else thinks (they are wankers).
  
  I bought a dozen cans of pale ale, found my dictaphone, sat at my desk and began. I had no idea what I was going to say, but whatever I did say would be ‘the album’.
  
  By 6pm, I had finished, and I was elated – what I’d recorded might be shit, I didn’t care – because for the first time in many years, I had ‘just done’ something. ‘Heute denken, heute fertig’ (‘Think today, finish today’).
