About the Author
Kübra Gümüşay is the author of the bestseller
Sprache und Sein (Language and Being) and the founder of several campaigns and associations - e.g. the campaign #SchauHin against racism, the feminist alliance #ausnahmslos, und the campaign 'Organized Love'. Forbes Magazine selected her as one of 30 under 30 in Europe in the media and marketing industry.
About the Book
Sprache und Sein (Hanser Berlin, January 27, 2020) pursues a yearning. A yearning for a language that does not reduce people to categories, for a form of speaking that lets people exist in their rich diversity, for true communal thinking in a polarized world. Kübra Gümüşay has long been advocating equality and engagement on equal footing in public discourses. In her first book, she explores the question of how language dictates politics and shapes the way we think. She demonstrates how seeing people as part of a group forces them to express themselves as such and makes them invisible as individuals. But how can human beings talk like humans? And how can we all - in a time when hate speech becomes increasingly prevalent - cultivate a different way of communicating with each other?
About Event Series
These unique event series will make you want to dive into the world of literature.
Onleihe Book Buffet is a bookish extravaganza - a literary feast that strives to inspire all to fall in love with books by bringing authors and readers together for one big celebration. This year’s special curated Onleihe menu has diverse aromatic flavors on offer. This combo includes an incredible celebration of six Onleihe books and features international authors.
Long Weekend of LiteratureS (LWeL) is a weekend of interaction with European authors organised on the occasion of the EU Day of Languages. LWeL’s format encourages audiences to listen to authors in their mother tongue and thus gives deeper exposure to the audience to the diversity of European languages and literature.
