Sociale grupper: alternativ livsstil

Peter Øvig skriver stor dokumentarisk bog om 80’ernes vigtigste oprørere – BZ-bevægelsen Først besatte de en gammel rugbrødsfabrik ved navn Rutana i efteråret 1981. De næste ni år drev BZ’erne gæk med politi og myndigheder med den ene kreative aktion efter den anden – som da de gravede en tunnel under Korsgade fra det besatte hus Allotria, så en politistyrke på op mod tusind mand kæmpede sig ind i et tomt og forladt hus. Flere hundrede unge tilsluttede sig bevægelsen, som mange af dem betragtede som en ny familie, og i medierne blev BZ uden konkurrence den mest omtalte politiske gruppering i 80’erne. Efterhånden blev sammenstødene mellem BZ og politi mere voldelige, og brosten blev suppleret med brandbomber og slangebøsser med stålkugler. Hele Danmark holdt vejret, da BZ’erne i efteråret 1986 belejrede et helt boligkvarter omkring Ryesgade på Østerbro, og de følgende år opgav politiet til sidst helt at komme i nærheden af de besatte huse. I 1990 blev det sidste besatte hus ryddet, men da Peter Øvig 25 år senere gik i gang med researchen til en bog om BZ, skulle det vise sig, at familien stadig levede. Allerede før forfatteren havde besluttet sig for at skrive bogen, rejste en voldsom modstand sig i inderkredsen af det gamle miljø, som opfordrede alle til at boykotte bogprojektet. ”Du har ikke en chance – tag den!” var et af BZ-familiens mottoer, og Peter Øvig valgte at inddrage modstanden i sin bog. Bemærkelsesværdigt nok var de mest indædte modstandere blandt BZ’ere de samme, som gennem de seneste 35 år oftest selv har fortalt historien i bøger og på film.

I en tid, hvor statistikker melder om stress og udbrændthed, og hvor mange oplever en økonomisk usikkerhed, inspirerer journalist og mor til fire, Maj My Humaidan, til at turde tro på, at livet kan leves anderledes og mere meningsfuldt. Sammen med sin mand valgte Maj My Humaidan at sige farvel til hamsterhjulet og et materielt overdådigt liv i storbyen og begynde en ny tilværelse på en lille gård på Ærø. De meldte børnene ud af vuggestuen, børnehaven og skolen, smed vækkeuret ud og levede i fire år et liv på kanten af samfundet, hvor de dyrkede afgrøder, badede, tegnede, byggede og øvede sig i at leve bevidst. De opdagede friheden i at vælge materielle goder fra og mavefornemmelsen til.Maj My Humaidan kaster gennem sin egen fortælling - og med sin stærke, poetiske pen - et knivskarpt blik på de ofte ubevidste normer, som flertallet lever efter, og som efterlader mange forpustede. Det gør hun med et håb og en optimisme for øje, idet hun minder om, at vi helt selv kan vælge, hvordan vi vil leve vores liv.

På Rådhuspladsen løber Amdi og Walther ind i en gammel ven. Jørgen Kragh er lige blevet optaget på Københavns Universitet og på vej til rusfest i Studenterforeningen.”De spørger, om jeg vil med jorden rundt? Det er der jo kun ét svar på.”Allerede som dreng samler Mogens Amdi Petersen kammerater omkring sig i tætte fællesskaber, baseret på oprørsk munterhed og spejderære.”Man skal ville noget med sit liv,” siger Amdi. Sådan opstår Danmarks første kollektiv og landets første kulturhus, ligesom mødet med Jørgen Kragh fører til en legendarisk jordomrejse, der bliver skabelon for Den rejsende Højskole og siden Det nødvendige Seminarium – og Tvind.Samfundet rystes i 1960’erne og 1970’erne. Den gamle verden fungerer ikke længere, noget nyt skal fødes, men hvad? Den nye verden skal være mere bæredygtig, mere fri, mere retfærdig, men hvordan? Mange unge forkaster forældrenes værdier i kompromisløse eksperimenter med at skabe den nye orden, også på Tvind. Amdis fællesskaber er skabt til tiden – og skaber den.Første bind slutter med Mogens Amdi Petersens dramatiske exit fra offentligheden i 1979, netop som Tvind står på spring til en global ekspansion. Andet bind beskriver retsforfølgelsen og Tvinds aktiviteter som multinational koncern.Research, medforfatter til kap. 9, 10 og 13: Anders-Peter Mathiasen

31. maj 1992: Jeg har opsagt min etværelses lejlighed i København Nordvest, foræret de flest af mine ejendele væk og tager nattoget til Berlin for at starte mit nye liv som del af det store besætmiljø, der er opstået i det tidligere Østberlin efter murens fald. Bogen er en autentisk fortælling, der giver et unikt indblik i de forskelligste subkulturer i 90-ernes Berlin blandt besættere, idealister, livskunstnere og illegale på flugt fra den økonomiske håbløshed i det opløste Sovjetunionen. Om truslen fra ordensmagten og nynazistiske bander. Om kærlighed og venskab, og det opslidende ved kampen for en stabil tilværelse, når man befinder sig på kanten. Om seksuelle eksperimenter, bordeller og det befriende ved sexarbejde. Et fortættet portræt af Berlin i en opbrudstid.

Med kilder helt tæt på Mogens Amdi Pedersen og aktiviteterne i Tvind fortæller Pia Elers den fascinerende historie om en flok unge, der med en karismatisk leder i spidsen ville forandre verden, men som i dag fremstår som en lukket kapitalistisk koncern. Pia Elers var selv medlem af Lærergruppen i 1970’erne og har derfor på egen hånd oplevet det fantastiske fællesskab, der blev skabt omkring opbygningen af Skolesamvirket, men har også været vidne til, hvordan gruppepres kunne drive folk ud på selvmordets rand. Hun fortæller om Amdi Pedersen og hans livsværk – på godt og ondt. Både om de mange pædagogiske og humanitære projekter, der i dag er bredt ud til en lang række lande verden over. Og også om hvordan Amdi Pedersen trods sine åbenlyse kvaliteter blev stadig mere enerådig og svigtede de kammerater, der ofrede de vigtigste år af deres liv for at realisere hans visioner.

Every action has consequences.I made one foolish mistake and ended up with a debt I had only one way to pay...by bowing my head and submitting to the men I swore I hated. But in their dominance I found catharsis. In the darkness we share, parts of myself were brought to the light.I've been wearing a mask for far too long.Now I'm torn between the future I thought I wanted, and a life I once believed was only fantasy.These feelings between us were never just a game.What am I willing to sacrifice? My pride and carefully laid plans, my determination that I can do it all alone? Or my new-found freedom to live without boundaries with the men who turned my world on its head? How much am I willing to give up?Who am I willing to lose?Although not required, it is recommended to read the novella, The Dare, prior to reading Losers.This book is part 2 of a duet.

En håbefuld fortælling om at være menneske i en brydningstid. Vi følger Maj My Humaidan, fra hun sender Ærø Manifestet ud i verden, til hun to år senere sender BLØDT til tryk. I netop de to år forandrer verden sig nærmest katapultisk for øjnene af os: Vi ser konsekvensen af, at vi ikke har passet godt på vores klode, vi ser også, at vi menneskeligt er i knæ. Den debat, der udfolder sig omkring Ærø Manifestet, bliver et billede på en tid, der kalder på en ny og mere bæredygtig måde at leve på. I BLØDT følger vi den bevægelse, der - også ansporet af Ærø Manifestet - blusser op nedefra og puster til en ild, der ender i en højspændt politisk debat om, hvordan vi skal indrette vores liv. Som en central figur i den samtale skal Maj My Humaidan finde sin vej - dels i mødet med dele af det politiske system, der mener, at hun er samfundsødelæggende, dels som stemme for mange danskere, der drømmer om at leve livet anderledes - og lige så langsomt finder hun sine ben og begynder at træde sin egen sti. Med udgangspunkt i det helt nære - det velkendte hjem på den lille ø - inspirerer Maj My Humaidan til at navigere i en forandringernes tid med håbet og troen som den helt store drivkraft. Vi forstår, at forandringerne for hende begynder indefra og i det små. Vi forstår også, at dét, som vi mennesker og vores klode har brug for, er helt det samme. Bogens titel giver os et svar, vi kan gribe: Vi kan begynde med at vælge det bløde.

Vikingernes verden var brutal, og døden det eneste sikre. At klare sig godt i sådan en verden var en hård kamp, og det vidste ingen bedre end Odin. Det var hans råd, vikingerne lyttede til, når tingene blev svære.Heller ikke i dag er verden en gavebod. Tilværelsen kræver ofre, og vi undgår ikke at møde modgang og tab på vores rejse gennem livet. Så er det fællesskaberne, der skal bære os videre lige som i vikingetiden. I Tag det som en viking giver forfatterne en række kontante bud på, hvordan vi som moderne mennesker stadig kan bruge Odins råd.Livet er ikke let, og det bliver det aldrig.

I frit fald – som sådan en slags ninja er en ærlig, modig og personlig bog af Jannie Nørregaard Rasmussen. Den mikser lyrik, tankemylder og refleksioner om det moderne kvindeliv i 2020’ernes Danmark. Den henvender sig især til kvinder, der elsker at sparke røv, men som også selv ved præcis, hvor nas det gør at få et ninjaspark bag i.Bogen er fyldt med poesi, tanker, drømme og kærlighed skildret med humor og politisk ukorrekthed. Jannie Nørregaard Rasmussen skildrer modigt og personlig livet som ninja på den anden side af den skilsmisse og de livsbegivenheder, hun ikke selv havde set komme. Hun forsøger tænksomt, kærligt og ærligt at gøre op med både perfekthedskulturen, vores høje forventninger til det gode liv, parforholdet, forældreskabet, samfundets normer og mange dogmer og livet som enestående.Teksterne spejler livets banaliteter, højder og dybder og vækker dyb genklang i de fleste kvinder. Forfatteren har en evne til både at være sjov, ligetil og dybtfølt samtidig med, at hun skriver om en indre smerte og en undren.– Læseoplevelser –”Nu har jeg læst bogen, rub og stub. Jeg smiler og føler mig taget i hånden. Ind i dit univers, men også i høj grad ind i livet med alle dets op- og nedture. Uden endemål og lykkelige slutninger. Men med poesi, tanker, drømme og kærlighed. Du er så livsklog og skriver både interessant og levende. Og formår samtidig at gå uden om de værste klicheer og ensformigheder.”***”Du har en evne til både at være sjov, ligetil og dybtfølt, samtidig med at du skriver om en indre smerte og en undren. Der er en lethed over måden, hvorpå du skriver. Og jeg får lyst til at sætte Bowies Let’s Dance eller Modern Love på grammofonen og danse til dine tekster.”
