A Historian in Gaza - Jean-Pierre Filiu

‘The Gaza I knew, and whose length and breadth I’ve travelled, has ceased to exist.'Jean-Pierre Filiu, acclaimed historian of Gaza, is intimately familiar with the land's people and places; he speaks the local dialect. But nothing prepared him for what he encountered there in December 2024. This is his unforgettable, unbearably intimate account of one month in a place shattered by Israel's all-out war.When the historian returned to Gaza, he arrived under circumstances unimaginably different from his many past visits since 1980: only a limited number of convoys were allowed into the Strip, and he was one of the few humanitarians able to enter, this time by night. He remained inside for thirty-three days, and emerged determined to bear witness to the devastation-to the Gazans fighting simply to live, every single day.Filiu's haunting portrait of a land betrayed is a grim work of war reportage, documented with the acuity of a historian; and a lyrical narrative of human suffering, and human dignity.

Gaza - Jean-Pierre Filiu

Through its millennium-long existence, Gaza has often been bitterly disputed, yet enduringly neglected. Squeezed between the Negev and Sinai deserts on the one hand and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, Gaza was contested by the Pharaohs, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Fatimids, Mamluks, Crusaders and Ottomans. In 1917, the British Empire fought for months to conquer Gaza, before establishing its mandate for Palestine. In 1948, 200,000 Palestinians sought refuge in Gaza, a marginal area wanted by neither Israel nor Egypt. Palestinian nationalism grew there, and Gaza has since found itself at the heart of Palestinian history. Gaza is where the fedayeen movement arose from the ruins of Arab nationalism; where the 1967 Israeli occupation was repeatedly challenged, culminating in the 1987 intifada; where the dream of Palestinian statehood appeared shattered by the 2007 split between Fatah and Hamas; and from where, in 2023, history’s worst attack on Israel was launched, leading to the worst war ever waged against the Palestinians.Jean-Pierre Filiu’s book was the first comprehensive history of Gaza to be published in any language. This new, updated edition covers events since 2011, including Gaza’s renewed tragic centrality to world politics and security since October 2023.

Počátky řeckého myšlení - Jean-Pierre Vernant

Obraz proměny řeckého světa a myšlení mezi 12. a 5. stol. př. Kr., mezi zánikem mykénské palácové civilizace a vznikem klasické řecké polis. Druhé opravené vydání. Vernant, Jean-Pierr (*1914) je jedním z nejoriginálnějších hellénistů poválečné Francie. Platí o něm v plné míře, co sám napsal o svém předchůdci a učiteli Louisi Gernetovi: že přispěl k obnově řeckých studií ve Francii. Ve svých pracích, věnovaných zejména starořeckému náboženskému myšlení, navázal na tradici francouzské historické psychologie a sociologie. Na půdě klasických studií tak vydobyl domovské právo oboru, který nazýval "historickou antropologií starého Řecka". Počátky řeckého myšlení (1962) patří dnes již ke klasickým knihám. Vyšly nedlouho po rozluštění mykénského písma a načrtly smělý, plastický a přesvědčivý obraz proměny řeckého světa a řeckého myšlení mezi XII. a V. stoletím př. Kr. - mezi zánikem mykénské palácové civilizace a vznikem klasické řecké polis . Jako učitel působil Jean-Pierre Vernant naposledy na College de France, jehož je emeritním profesorem. Znám je nicméně i u nás, neboť několikrát navštívil Československo.

Rampalova první cesta do země východního bloku dala vzniknout přátelství s jiným mimořádným hudebníkem Milanem Munclingerem, s nímž mj. sdílel vášeň pro barokní hudbu. Právě díky Munclingerově iniciativě se Rampal 31. 5. 1955 představil pražskojarnímu publiku na beznadějně vyprodaném recitálu s Alfredem Holečkem. (O pouhé čtyři dny dříve Mstislav Rostropovič na Pražském jaru provedl kompletní Bachovy violoncellové suity).

Ar-men - Jean-Pierre Abraham

Ar men znamená v bretonštině kámen. Je to významný maják postavený na skalisku v otevřeném moři u západního pobřeží Bretaně. Autor Jean-Pierre Abraham na něm působil jako strážce v letech 1959-1964. Jeho deníkové zápisky z té doby zachycují šest měsíců jednoho ze tří strážců majáku, vyšly poprvé v roce 1968 a dočkaly se mnoha vydání. Abrahamova kniha je pozoruhodně úsporná, ale přitom se silným nábojem jakéhosi exotického kouzla - zejména pro středoevropského suchozemského čtenáře, pro kterého už jenom prostředí opuštěného, osamoceného a větry zmítaného majáku nabývá netušených rozměrů. A tak může kniha Ar-men oslovit nejen úzký okruh čtenářů mořeplavci počínaje a obdivovateli neopakovatelné Bretaně konče. Ar-men jako výsostný zástupce krásné literatury je jakýmsi minimalistickým příběhem-nepříběhem se spoustou vody, trochou techniky, přemírou větru a mořem snahy poznat sám sebe. V této souvislosti nelze nevzpomenout na Kerouaka hlídajícího na strážní věži lesní požáry, ovšem v poněkud sevřenějším stylu a pod ledovou palbou nemilosrdného příboje.

Svatý Tomáš pro začátečníky - Jean-Pierre Torrell

Svatý Tomáš Akvinský, intelektuál mimořádných kvalit, který smířil víru a rozum, a proslavený teolog, jehož díla se studují i dnes, bývá považován za autora, kterého není snadné číst. Velký znalec jeho díla Jean-Pierre Torrell chce v této knížce přístup k jeho dílu usnadnit a přiblížit ho všem zájemcům. Tomášův život a dílo jsou úzce propojeny. V jeho spisech se odrážejí nelehká léta jeho mládí a některá z jeho nejvýznamnějších děl zas úzce souvisejí s jeho dvojím pedagogickým působením na pařížské univerzitě, kde v dobových polemikách vynikl jako obávaný soupeř svých názorových odpůrců. Tomáš se zajímal o všechny myšlenkové proudy své doby a reagoval na ně. Jeho Teologická suma a Suma proti pohanům, díla, která vznikala ve vzácných volných chvílích, když zrovna necestoval a nevyučoval, ovlivňují i dnešní myslitele. S Tomášem Akvinským se v této všem přístupné a čtivé knize setkáváme jako s člověkem, a tím se nám otevírá nový pohled i na jeho dílo.

Alzheimer's, Aromatherapy, and the Sense of Smell - Jean-Pierre Willem

On the Pleasures of Living in Gaza - Mohammed Omer Almoghayer

Beyond the headlines of destruction and despair, discover the untold story of Gaza''s humanity—its joys, resilience, and vibrant community spirit, as captured by a native son. Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza has plunged more than two million Palestinians into a ceaseless cycle of violence and deprivation. Despite the outrage that Israel’s aggression has fanned, two opposing tropes about those who inhabit the Strip endure. For the minority backing Israel’s actions, the Palestinians of Gaza are often seen as little more than terrorists. For many on the other side, they are perpetual victims, powerless and tragic. Each characterization dehumanizes Gaza’s people. In this book, Mohammed Omer Almoghayer, born and raised in southern Gaza, presents a necessary corrective: What the news reports have rarely shown are the ways in which, prior to Israel’s onslaught, the people of Gaza rose above their hardship to enjoy the simple pleasures of human existence. While in no way diminishing the horrors hurled at the Strip since October 7, or the prior suffering of those forced to live in what was effectively an open prison, Omer Almoghayer here tells that story.

A Rebel in Gaza - Asmaa Alghoul, Selim Nassib

Born in Rafah, raised in Gaza, subjected both to Israeli bombs and to Islamist tyranny, and in the face of prison, death threats, abuse, misogyny, violence, and repression, Asmaa Alghoul has continued to speak her truth. She has continued to live and to love, to laugh and to protest. In this moving memoir of growing up Gaza with a hunger for freedom and a passionate attachment to the places she calls home, journalist, writer, and activist, Alghoul recounts her lifelong resistance to religious fanaticism, state sponsored violence, and all forms of repression and subjugation. Alghoul has been called “too strong minded,” criticized for not covering her hair, derided for ignoring warnings and speaking out against injustice. Her pure, clarion voice is raised wholly in support of dialogue, peace, love, and honesty. Nothing, it seems, can stop her. Offering an intimate look into life, politics, and survival in Gaza in recent years, Alghoul’s A Rebel in Gaza offers readers a nuanced and singular perspective on the current conflict.

Footnotes in Gaza - Joe Sacco

Rafah, a town at the southernmost tip of the Gaza Strip, is a squalid place. Raw concrete buildings front rubbish-strewn alleys. The narrow streets are crowded with young children and unemployed men. Situated on the border with Egypt, swaths of Rafah have been reduced to rubble. Rafah is today and has always been a notorious flashpoint in this most bitter of conflicts.Buried deep in the archives is one bloody incident, in 1956, that left 111 Palestinian refugees dead, shot by Israeli soldiers. Seemingly a footnote to a long history of killing, that day in Rafah - coldblooded massacre or dreadful mistake - reveals the competing truths that have come to define an intractable war. In a quest to get to the heart of what happened, Joe Sacco arrives in Gaza and, immersing himself in daily life, uncovers Rafah, past and present.

Archiving Gaza in the Present

Conflict does more than destroy physical spaces – it extinguishes lives, erases histories and disrupts the collective memory of entire communities. In Gaza, where genocide has brought unimaginable suffering, the destruction of cultural heritage adds another dimension of loss. Tangible and intangible legacies – the sites, artifacts and stories that anchor identity – are being destroyed alongside the people who create and preserve them. In such a context, the act of archiving becomes vital, a way to resist erasure and to preserve memory amid destruction.Archiving Gaza in the Present addresses this urgent crisis. Edited by Venetia Porter and Dina Matar, this interdisciplinary collection gathers voices from diverse fields – law, art, archaeology, journalism, architecture and more – who document the degradation of Gaza’s rich cultural landscape and explore the ways in which we can preserve its memory and heritage.

Gaza in Crisis - Noam Chomsky, Ilan Pappé

Co-authored by two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, a clear-sighted and essential analysis of the political context around this region at a desperate impasseFrom the targeting of schools and hospitals, to the indiscriminate use of white phosphorus, Israel''s conduct in ''Operation Cast Lead'' has rattled even some of its most strident supporters. In Gaza in Crisis, Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé survey the fallout from that devastation, and place the massacre in Gaza in the context of Israel''s long-standing war against the Palestinians. It is a rigorous, historically informed and much-needed analysis of the situation and will be welcomed by all those eager for Chomsky''s and Pappé''s insights into yet another political catastrophe. ''Noam Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . he may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet today'' The New York Times Book Review ''Ilan Pappé is Israel''s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian'' John Pilger

Congo Inc. - In Koli Jean Bofane

To the sound of machine gun fire and the smell of burning flesh, award-winning author In Koli Jean Bofane leads readers on a perilous, satirical journey through the civil conflict and political instability that have been the logical outcome of generations of rapacious multinational corporate activity, corrupt governance, widespread civil conflict, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation in Africa. Isookanga, a Congolese Pygmy, grows up in a small village with big dreams of becoming rich. His vision of the world is shaped by his exploits in Raging Trade, an online game where he seizes control of the world's natural resources by any means possible: high-tech weaponry, slavery, and even genocide. Isookanga leaves his sleepy village to make his fortune in the pulsating capital Kinshasa, where he joins forces with street children, warlords, and a Chinese victim of globalization in this blistering novel about capitalism, colonialism, and the world haunted by the ghosts of Bismarck and Leopold II. Told with just enough levity to make it truly heartbreaking, Congo Inc. is a searing tale about ecological, political, and economic failure.

Performance in the Museum - Pierre Saurisse

Performance in the Museum charts the main stages of the inclusion of performance in the museum from the 1970s to the present day, offering a thought-provoking and highly readable assessment of some fundamental questions in contemporary curatorial practice. While performance emerged in the late 1960s as an anti-institutional form of art, it has recently gained an extraordinary visibility in contemporary art museums. This book focuses on four specific areas affecting museums: the staging of live performance within exhibitions; the conservation of performance; the acquisition of performance works; and research on performance. What emerges from this study is that the museum, although rarely anticipating the specific issues raised by performance, has assumed a unique position in devising curatorial strategies adapted to this medium.Through close analysis of a selection of exhibitions and curatorial practices from many different parts of the world, and from specific periods from the past fifty years, this book identifies key moments of the integration of performance into the museum. Despite the recent surge of exhibitions on performance and the part played by museums in this phenomenon, the history of the display, the conservation and the acquisition of live performance has remained largely uncharted. This book therefore makes an ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Genocide in Gaza - Avi Shlaim

In this book Avi Shlaim places Israel’s policy towards the Gaza Strip under an uncompromising lens. He argues that these recurrent attacks – what Israeli generals chillingly call “mowing the lawn” – are the inevitable result of Zionist settler colonialism whose basic objective is the elimination of the native population. In this war, however, Israel has gone beyond land-grabbing and ethnic cleansing to commit the crime of all crimes – genocide.
