Difficult Ceremony

Katalog výstavy pojmenovaný podle díla Milana Knížáka z přelomu šedesátých a sedmdesátých let minulého století, dává nahlédnout do oblasti konceptuálních přesahů a autonomních přístupů v kresbě a malbě v Československu v nepříznivé době normalizace a v době těsně následující. Autoři tvořili často v rámci skupin i neoficiálních sdružení, mnohdy na protest proti tehdejšímu režimu (Klub konkrétistů, Měkkohlaví, Křižovnická škola čistého humoru bez vtipu, Starý psi, Tvrdohlaví, okruh kolem Galerie Behémót atd.). Oproti oficiálně uznávanému umění a jeho zavedeným úzům tedy tehdy vznikala i celá řada experimentálních a novátorských přístupů. Linie vystavených děl se tak vine od umělců, kteří zkoumali prostor, tvar, prázdnotu, čas, zaznamenávali své vlastní akce, pohyb či zvuk, zkoumali nehmotné energie, jako je světlo, magnetismus, oheň, nebo se snažili o zcela jiné výrazové prostředky. Konceptuální tendence, které pronikaly do klasické malby a kresby, často ubíraly na estetizaci díla, mnohem důležitější byla podstata zamýšleného sdělení - hledání nové cesty, svobodného vyjádření, autorova vlastního obřadu.Difficult Ceremony: Karel Adamus, Jiří David, Stano Filko, Alva Hajn, Jiří Hilmar, Dalibor Chatrný, Olga Karlíková, Milan Knížák, Jiří Kovanda, Alena Kučerová, František Kyncl, Milan Maur, Vladimír Merta, Miloslav Moucha, Marian Palla, Jan Steklík, Margita Titlová Ylovsky, Petr Veselý, Jaroslav Vožniak.

Published in English for the first time, this exclusive edition also includes the story that first brought Sayaka Murata international acclaim: 'A Clean Marriage', which tells the story of a happily asexual couple who must submit to some radical medical procedures if they are to conceive a longed-for child.Mixing taboo-breaking body horror with feminist revenge fables, old ladies who love each other and young women finding empathy and transformation in unlikely places, Life Ceremony is a wild ride to the outer edges of one of the most original minds in contemporary fiction.

Ceremony for the Nameless - Theresa Lola

''What a joy to see a new sun rising in the poetic sky!'' Nikki Giovanni Exploring naming and its power, the remarkable second collection from the award-winning poet and former Young People’s Laureate for LondonIn Yoruba culture, newborn babies are welcomed into the world, and ushered into the social fabric, through naming ceremonies filled with songs of praise. The names bestowed are communicative both of where the baby has come from – the circumstances of its birth, the atmosphere in the home – and of where its future will take it. Both are forms of destiny.Far-reaching and musical, Theresa Lola’s second collection explores the act of naming and its role in shaping our identities, our aspirations, what we carry and how we belong. Lola conjures and questions the realities of her dual Nigerian-British identity; traces the lineages of names; asks why some deserve to be named while others are treated as though invisible; and explores the ways our journey through life might require us to cast off old expectations – both others’ and our own – just as at other times it can bring us back, strangely and unexpectedly, to where we first began.In lyrical, joyful and moving poems, Lola ...

Book of Difficult Fruit - Kate Lebo

“[A] glorious mash-up of memoir, love note, and cookbook . . . Every sentence is as sensuous as the first bite into a cold, juicy plum.” —Hillary Kelly, Vulture“[A] dazzling, thorny new essay collection.” —Samin Nosrat, The New York TimesInspired by twenty-six fruits, the essayist, poet, and pie lady Kate Lebo expertly blends natural, culinary, medical, and personal history. A is for aronia, berry member of the apple family, clothes-stainer, superfruit with reputed healing power. D is for durian, endowed with a dramatic rind and a shifting odor—peaches, old garlic. M is for medlar, name-checked by Shakespeare for its crude shape, beloved by gardeners for its flowers. Q is for quince, which, when fresh, gives off the scent of “roses and citrus and rich women’s perfume,” but if eaten raw is so astringent it wicks the juice from one’s mouth. In a work of unique invention, these and other difficult fruits serve as the central ingredients of twenty-six lyrical essays (with recipes). What makes a fruit difficult? Its cultivation, its harvest, its preparation, the brevity of its moment for ripeness, its tendency toward rot or poison, the way it might overrun your garden. Here, these fruits will take you on ...

Observing Children with Attachment Difficulties in School - Ann Frost, Sian Templeton, Netty Roberts, Kim S. Golding, Jane Fain, Helen Worrall, Eleano

Emotional difficulties in children aged 5-11 can display themselves in a range of different behaviours, and it is important for staff in schools to be able to identify and address these problems, and to provide appropriate help. This easy-to-use tool provides an observation checklist which enables staff to identify behavioural patterns in children with social and emotional difficulties, analyse the emotional difficulties underlying these behaviours and establish what kind of help and support the children need. Behavioural responses are categorised within clearly outlined topics, including behaviour, play and relationship with peers, attachment behaviours, emotional state in the classroom and attitude to attendance. Checklists and diagrams identify different ''styles'' of relating (secure, avoidant, ambivalent), to help school staff who work with children and their families to respond appropriately to the individual needs of each child. A range of handouts include activities designed to provide emotional support, to focus and regulate behaviour and enable the child to develop important social and emotional skills.Suitable for use with children aged 5-11, this tool will be an invaluable resource for teachers, teaching assistants, learning support staff, school counsellors and educational psychologists.

Difficult Men - Brett Martin

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a wave of TV shows, first on premium cable channels like HBO and then basic cable networks like FX and AMC, dramatically stretched television''s inventiveness, emotional resonance and ambition. Shows such as The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Deadwood, The Shield tackled issues of life and death, love and sexuality, addiction, race, violence and existential boredom. Television shows became the place to go to see stories of the triumph and betrayals of the American Dream at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This revolution happened at the hands of a new breed of auteur: the all-powerful writer-show runner. These were men nearly as complicated, idiosyncratic, and "difficult" as the conflicted protagonists that defined the genre. Given the chance to make art in a maligned medium, they fell upon the opportunity with unchecked ambition.Difficult Men features extensive interviews with all the major players, including David Chase and James Gandolfini (The Sopranos), David Simon, Dominic West and Ed Burns (The Wire), Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad), Matthew Weiner and Jon Hamm (Mad Men), David Milch (NYPD Blue, Deadwood) and Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), in addition to dozens of other writers, directors, studio executives ...

Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights (1784709735)

Kniha - autor Helen Lewis, 320 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Well-behaved women don't make history: difficult women do. Feminism's success is down to complicated, contradictory, imperfect women, who fought each other as well as fighting for equal rights.

It's time to reclaim the history of feminism as a history of difficult women. In this book, you'll meet the working-class suffragettes who advocated bombings and arson; the princess who discovered why so many women were having bad sex; the pioneer of the refuge movement who became a men's rights activist; the 'striker in a sari' who terrified Margaret Thatcher; the wronged Victorian wife who definitely wasn't sleeping with the prime minister; and the lesbian politician who outraged the country.

But baggage isn''t just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past. It''s the lessons we''ve taken from the pain we carry. It''s how what we''ve been through has actually made us stronger and more capable than we imagine. And it''s how we''re going to make our current relationships work.Far from minimizing past pain, pastor Ike Miller shows you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff. The intentionality you''ve developed. The empathy you''ve gained. The trust you value so highly. Miller shares from his own past in a dysfunctional family impacted by alcoholism and divorce, and his present as part of a healthy and loving family, to illustrate how to stop letting your past sabotage your present. You''ll find no platitudes or pat answers here. Rather, you''ll discover untapped riches of experience and knowledge you already have that can make your relationships thrive and change the course of your life and legacy.

Difficult People at Work - Heidrun Schuler-Lubienetzki, Ulf Lubienetzki

This book helps professionals deal with difficult or even dangerous colleagues, employees or superiors. Some people poison the working atmosphere, make other people ill and cost their companies a lot of money. Often the cause lies in a psychological disorder, we are then often dealing with narcissists or psychopaths, but usually the destructive behavior is not (yet) based on a psychological disorder. This book introduces a collective term for such people - it calls them "toxic people" - and helps both those affected and those responsible in companies and organizations to recognize them, to protect themselves and others from them, and to take promising action against them. In addition to information on the typical characteristics of "toxic people," their motives are explained and concrete strategies for action and examples of tried-and-tested assistance are provided. A new chapter provides vivid, exciting case studies from real-life situations. A book for managers and those affected as well as personnel developers, trainers, consultants and coaches in companies and organizations.This book is a translation of the original German 2nd edition Schwierige Menschen am Arbeitsplat by Heidrun Schüler-Lubienetzki and Ulf Lubienetzki, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2017.

Difficulties With Girls - Amis Kingsley

In Kingsley Amis''s Difficulties With Girls, Jenny Bunn and Patrick Standish have settled into London life with their troubled courtship long behind them. Patrick works in publishing and Jenny teaches sick children in a hospital. They have reached a certain level of maturity, or so they think. It is not long before they realize their respectability will be severely tested by seductive neighbours with a taste for whisky, the sexually confused Ted Valentine, and the literary set of Hampstead.In this funny and provocative study of a young couple growing up, Amis shows us that the difficulty with marriage is that it''s so hard to preserve, especially when Patrick and Jenny harbour deep yearnings for a different kind of life.Kingsley Amis''s (1922-95) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of World War II. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories.
