Bourgeois Coldness - Henrike Kohpeiss

''Bourgeois coldness'' describes a contemporary sentiment, with which bourgeois subjects shield themselves from the violence they themselves cause. It examines how racist affective structures are formed along the histories of colonialism and also Enlightenment philosophy. Canonical critical approaches by Adorno and Horkheimer enter a dialogue with the field of Black Studies and thinkers such as Saidiya Hartman, Fred Moten, and Denise Ferreira da Silva.

Louise Bourgeois

Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) was one of the most influential artists of the past century. Louise Bourgeois: Has the Day Invaded the Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day? explores the powerful emotional and formal tensions that drove Bourgeois''s extraordinary art: between night and day, rage and tenderness, need and resistance, geometry and gesture, anxiety and calm, fear and ferocity.Spanning the seven decades of Bourgeois''s career and featuring more than 120 works from intimate watercolors to large sculptures by the artist, Louise Bourgeois brings home the sense of perpetual and productive crisis—of the works as crises—that characterize Bourgeois''s long life in art. Richly illustrated, the book features new writing by the curator and commissioned authors that offer critical insight into Bourgeois''s practice as well as personal insights.

Heda Gablerová (Henrik Ibsen-Různí interpreti) (2 CD) - rozhlasová dramatizace

Henrik Ibsen - Heda Gablerová. Rozhlasová dramatizace z roku 2013. Strhující rozhlasová adaptace Hedy Gablerové s Vilmou Cibulkovou jako fascinující moderní ženou. Když Henrik Ibsen v roce 1890 publikoval Hedu Gablerovou, kritika označila titulní hrdinku za zrůdu. V souvislosti s jejím uvedením v Národním divadle v roce 1911 pak F. X. Šalda o protagonistce napsal, že je to "vtělená ďáblice, pustá a zprahlá vnitřně,přinášející smrt muži, na němž spočinula svým zrakem". Inscenace natočená roku 2000 Českým rozhlasem plně využila možností, které víceznačnost tohoto dramatu nabízí pro zobrazení ženy současnosti. Díky energickému, ale střízlivě civilnímu a psychologicky propracovanému projevu Vilmy Cibulkové v hlavní roli před námi vyvstává portrét inteligentní ženy, která nechce podléhat iluzím, ale ze své náročnosti vůči sobě, světu i svým partnerům učiní past, v níž sama uvízne. Její touha žít "s révovím ve vlasech" neodkazuje ani tak k Nietzscheovu dionýsovskému titanismu jako spíš k radostnému bytí celistvého člověka, nesmrštěnému jen na sociální, profesní či genderové role a funkce. Hrají: Vilma Cibulková, Ivan Trojan,Lukáš Hlavica, Milena Dvorská, Dana Černá, Viktor Preiss, Marie Marešová.

Ghosts, A Public Enemy, When We Dead Wake - Henrik Ibsen

With three plays focusing on the family and how it struggles to stay together by telling lies - and exposing them, Henrik Ibsen''s Ghosts and Other Plays is translated with an introduction by Peter Watts in Penguin Classics.In Ghosts, Osvald Alving returns home only to discover the truth about the father he always looked up to, and learns the horrific effect his father''s debauchery has had on him. It was Ibsen''s most provocative drama, stripping away the surface of a middle-class family to expose layers of hypocrisy and immorality. A Public Enemy sets two brothers against each other when one wishes to make public the facts about the polluted water in the public baths of their home town. And When We Dead Wake tells of an artist meeting an old lover by chance and rejecting his wife, in a symbolic exploration of Ibsen''s own literary life and the sacrifices he made in his work.Peter Watts''s translation maintains the colloquial tone of the original dialogue. He has also provided an introduction and notes on the texts.Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) turned to journalism and playwriting instead of pursuing a university career.

Louise Bourgeois & Pablo Picasso

An elegantly produced double portrait of the affinities and differences between two of the 20th century''s greatest artistsCoupling the works of Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) and Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) produces a thought-provoking discourse on the artists'' formal and iconographic links. Inspired by archaic and primitive sources, both Bourgeois and Picasso explored and developed interpretations of fertility and mother deities; late in life, both artists focused on eroticism, sexuality and intimacy.In summer 2019, objects from these pivotal 20th-century artists will be presented at Hauser & Wirth Zürich, marking the first two-person show in which a female sculptor''s works are put into an extended dialogue with those of Picasso. This beautifully designed book, with its cloth boards and title stamping, builds upon the complex conversation about gender the exhibition sparks, with texts by exhibition curator Marie-Laure Bernadac (former curator at the Louvre, Picasso Museum, and Centre Pompidou), Émilie Bouvard (art historian and curator), Ulf Küster (curator at the Fondation Beyeler), Gérard Wajcman (psychoanalyst and writer) and Diana Widmaier Picasso (art historian).

Heda Gablerová - Henrik Ibsen - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Když Henrik Ibsen v roce 1890 publikoval Hedu Gablerovou, kritika označila titulní hrdinku za zrůdu. V souvislosti s jejím uvedením v Národním divadle v roce 1911 pak F. X. Šalda o protagonistce napsal, že je to „vtělená ďáblice, pustá a zprahlá vnitřně, dům obydlený všemi démony perversity, zkažená a otrávená od kořene, přinášející smrt muži, na němž spočinula svým zrakem…“ Během času ovšem nabývala tato smrtící femme fatale stále víc na přitažlivosti a dnes patří její dramatický příběh k nejčastěji uváděným Ibsenovým dílům. Režisérka Hana Kofránková citlivě zkrátila moderní překlad Františka Fröhlicha a měla šťastnou ruku při výběru interpretů. Díky energickému, ale střízlivě civilnímu a psychologicky propracovanému projevu Vilmy Cibulkové v hlavní roli před námi vyvstává portrét inteligentní ženy, která nechce podléhat iluzím, ale ze své náročnosti vůči sobě, světu i svým partnerům učiní past, v níž sama uvízne.

Audiokniha: Skandální rodinné drama norského autora ve skvělém přetlumočení Františka Fröhlicha. Rodinné drama, které norský dramatik Henrik Ibsen dokončil na podzim roku 1881, bývá označováno za "přelomové dílo" v cestě moderního dramatu. Má rozměr tragédie, je ale psáno všední prózou a pro vyklenutí dramatického oblouku postačí autorovi pouhých pět postav. V době svého vzniku byly ale Přízraky prohlášeny za "otevřenou stoku" a skandál, který vydání hry způsobilo, předstihl Ibsenovo očekávání.Osoby a obsazení: paní Alvingová (Daniela Kolářová), Osvald Alving (Jan Dolanský), pastor Manders (Viktor Preiss), Regina (Tatiana Vilhelmová) a Jakub Engstrand (Oldřich Vlach)Režie: Hana Kofránková

Audiokniha: Přestože Ibsenova hra vznikla před bezmála sty lety, je v mnohém stále překvapivě aktuální. Politické drama Nepřítel lidu napsal Henrik Ibsen v roce 1882 již jako světově známý autor. Na příběhu lékaře Stockmanna, který se marně snaží poukázat na závadnost vody v místních lázních, předvádí Ibsen bez obalu všechny nepřístojnosti "demokratické" společnosti - korupci, strach o post a majetek i stádní myšlení a jednání většiny.Osoby a obsazení: MUDr. Tomáš Stockmann, lázeňský lékař (Viktor Preiss), Kateřina Stockmannová, jeho žena (Dana Syslová), Petra, jejich dcera (Lucie Trmíková), Petr Stockmann, doktorův starší bratr (František Němec), Morten Kiil (Jiří Holý), Hovstad, šéfredaktor Lidového posla (Michal Pavlata), Billing, zaměstnanec Lidového posla (Ivan Trojan), Aslaksen, vydavatel (Miloš Hlavica), Horster, kapitán obchodní lodi (Miroslav Etzler), pán (Eduard Pavlíček)) a další.

Hedda Gabler and Other Plays - Henrik Ibsen

Four of Ibsen's most important plays in superb modern translations, part of the new Penguin Ibsen series. In these four unforgettably intense plays, Henrik Ibsen explores the complex nature of truth, the tension between freedom and responsibility, and the terrible pull that the past exerts over the present. In The Wild Duck, an idealist destroys a family by exposing the lie behind his friend's marriage. In Rosmersholm, a respectable man is driven to extremes by guilt over his wife's death, while in The Lady from the Sea a woman is caught between her family and the enticement of the wild sea. And in Hedda Gabler, one of Ibsen's most famous and vivid anti-heroines struggles to break free from the conventional life she has created for herself, with tragic results. The new Penguin series of Ibsen's major plays offer the best available editions in English, under the general editorship of Tore Rem. The plays have been freshly translated by the best modern translators and are based on the recently published, definitive Norwegian edition of Ibsen's works.

A Doll's House - Henrik Ibsen

''I think I''m a human being before anything else. I don''t care what other people say. I don''t care what people write in books. I need to think for myself.'' Henrik Ibsen''s A Doll''s House premiered in 1879 in Copenhagen, the second in a series of realist plays by Ibsen, and immediately provoked controversy with its apparently feminist message and exposure of the hypocrisy of Victorian middle-class marriage. In Ibsen''s play, Nora Helmer has secretly (and deceptively) borrowed a large sum of money to pay for her husband, Torvald, to recover from illness on a sabbatical in Italy. Torvald''s perception of Nora is of a silly, naive spendthrift, so it is only when the truth begins to emerge, and Torvald appreciates the initiative behind his wife, that unmendable cracks appear in their marriage. This compelling new version of Ibsen''s masterpiece by playwright Simon Stephens premiered at the Young Vic Theatre, London, on 29 June 2012. It was updated with minor changes in 2013.

A History of Finland - Henrik Meinander

Henrik Meinander paints a brisk and bold picture of the history of Finland from integrated part of the Swedish kingdom to autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian empire, gradually transformed and maturing into a conscious nation, independent state and skilful adapter of modern technology. The main geographical context for his study is the Baltic region, and the author links his analysis to structural developments and turning points in European history. The book blends politics, economy and culture to show how human and natural resources in Finland have been utilized and the impact its cultural heritage and technological innovation have had on its development. In a departure from most conventional approaches, Meinander gives greater emphasis to recent and contemporary events. In other words, he puts Finland into a range of historical contexts in its Baltic and European settings to highlight how both together have formed Finland into what it is at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Helsinki - Henrik Meinander

The epic story of Helsinki--founded by Sweden, refashioned by Russia, forever shaped by the sea.Over 475 years, the Finnish capital has gone from a sleepy fishing village to a thriving Nordic metropolis, globally renowned for its architecture, design and quality of life. This intricate and expansive new history lays bare the perils--and occasional perks--of Helsinki''s position on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between East and West.In flowing prose and fascinating anecdotes, Henrik Meinander explores all corners of Helsinki''s past, from trade and the Olympics to the colour of everyday life. He narrates the city''s survival through the rise and fall of two empires; its triumph as an independent capital in 1917; and how, since then, it has grown and flourished through language battles, Soviet air raids and Cold War compromises.More than most European capitals, Helsinki has spent centuries at the mercy of geopolitical twists and turns far beyond its control. This book is a timely reminder of how quickly such forces can alter a city''s destiny--yet, ultimately, can be overcome.

Arne Jacobsen - Henrik Lund-Larsen, Thomas Dickson

Tailored for design enthusiasts, this visually striking volume captures how Arne Jacobsen fused architecture and design to redefine modern living. Best known for his sculptural Egg, Swan, and Series 7 chairs, Arne Jacobsen was far more than a furniture designer—he was a modernist whose belief in total design shaped every aspect of the built environment. His influence defined the clean, functional aesthetic of Scandinavian design, from architecture and interiors to lighting, textiles, and tableware, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire designers today. This comprehensive volume traces Jacobsen’s career as a designer from his early experiments with functionalism to his most influential works. Alongside his celebrated furniture and interior designs, it explores his lesser-known fabric and garden designs and offers insight into his approach to form, function, and materiality across the disciplines. The book also provides a richly detailed portrait of Jacobsen’s personal world—his friendships with fellow designers, the creative circles he moved in, and the moments of spontaneity and humor that shaped his working life. Authors Thomas Dickson and Henrik Lund-Larsen, both leading voices in architecture and design, provide a compelling narrative that blends rigorous research with engaging storytelling.

The Swedish Theory of Love - Henrik Berggren, Lars Tragardh

In 2020 Sweden's response to COVID-19 drew renewed attention to the Nordic nation in a way that put the finger on a seeming paradox. Long celebrated for its commitment to social solidarity, Sweden suddenly emerged as the last country in the West to resist lockdown while defending individual rights and responsibilities. To explain these contradictions, Henrik Berggren and Lars Trägårdh argue that the long-standing view of Sweden's welfare state as the result of socialist collectivism is flawed. While social values have been and remain strong, they have co-existed with a radical form of individualism. The English edition of the Swedish bestseller Är svensken människa?, The Swedish Theory of Love examines a political culture that stresses individual autonomy on the one hand and trust in the state on the other. Delving into Swedish philosophy, cultural studies, sociology, literary criticism, and political science, the book moves beyond the perspective of rational social engineering to uncover the moral logic behind Sweden's welfare state: the notion that human relationships based on dependency and subordination lead to inauthenticity and that equality and autonomy are preconditions for genuine love and affection.
