      Everyone has secrets. Some of them may kill you. When a Delaware real estate mogul is murdered, newspaper journalist Brian Wilder wants the scoop on the killing, including the meaning behind the mysterious loaf of bread left with the corpse. Reverend Candice Miller, called to minister to the grieving family, quickly realizes that the killer has adopted the symbolism of sin eating, a Victorian-era religious ritual, as a calling card. Is it the work of a religious fanatic set to punish people for their missteps, or something even more sinister? As more victims fall, Brian and Candice follow a trail of deceit and blackmail, hoping to discover the identity of the killer―and praying that their own sins won’t catch the killer’s attention.

      One in five Australian women has been the victim of a sexual assault. For these women, there is less than a 1 per cent chance that their rapist has been arrested, prosecuted and convicted of the crime. These are the bare numerical facts of system failure. We offer rape survivors a stark choice: go to the police, or remain silent. In recent times, the public pressure on survivors to report has increased, alongside a growing focus on two other options: civil action against the perpetrator, or going public. These evolving social responses are intended to offer an alternative to the tradition of silencing. However, each of these choices, for survivors, involves a further sacrifice of what they have already lost. The legal system's responses to rape were designed without survivors in mind, and they do not address, in any way, the questions that survivors ask or the needs they express. Simply put, on the systemic response to rape, we are having the wrong conversation.

      Lorcas "Poeta en Nueva York"

      Surrealistische Verfremdung oder Sprachrohr der Entfremdung?

      Die Studienarbeit untersucht den Gedichtszyklus "Poeta en Nueva York" von Federico García Lorca und hinterfragt die gängige Auffassung, dass seine New Yorker Dichtung rein surrealistisch ist. Während sie surrealistische Elemente enthält, argumentiert die Arbeit, dass Lorcas Werk darüber hinausgeht und nicht ausschließlich mit dem Surrealismus verknüpft werden kann. Die Analyse bietet eine tiefere Einsicht in die komplexe Beziehung zwischen Lorcas Dichtung und den surrealistischen Strömungen seiner Zeit.
