Obraz diváků televizních seriálů a dalších pořadů jako pasivních konzumentů je zakořeněný i dnes, v éře internetových televizí, streamování a obsahu dostupného kdykoli "na přání". V době, kdy americký kulturní a mediální teoretik Henry Jenkins psal svou knihu Pytláci textů (1992), však byla tato charakteristika přijímána takřka bez výhrad i odborníky z oblasti mediálních studií. Jenkins svůj odborný zájem soustředil na jednu specifickou skupinu diváků, fanoušky, a podrobně analyzoval jejich sociální praktiky a kulturní produkci, díky čemuž se mu podařilo dobově převažující přesvědčení o pasivitě seriálových diváků zásadním způsobem problematizovat. Henry Jenkins se ovšem v Pytlácích textů neopevňuje jen v pozici distancovaného akademika, ale píše zároveň i jako dlouholetý fanoušek aktivně zapojený do komunitních aktivit. Tato jeho dvojdomost, která je v textu neustále reflektovaná, mu přínosně umožnuje odložit do té doby obvyklý znevažující tón a ponořit se bez zlehčování do fascinujícího světa fanoušků. Základním pozorováním, z nějž Jenkins ve svých analýzách vychází, je to, že fanoušci filmy, seriály a další žánry nejen konzumují, ale také je dále přetvářejí, navazují na ně a přepisují je. A ne vždy souhlasně: nezřídka se jejich texty vymezují proti pojetí narativů a postav, jak je koncipovali jejich původní autoři. Výtvory komerční masové kultury se tedy pro fanoušky stávají materiálem jejich vlastní, značně nezávislé tvorby. V jednotlivých kapitolách knihy se Jenkins soustředí na kritické aktivity komunity fanoušků, na utváření jejich kánonů, hodnocení a interpretací. Především se však věnuje konkrétním výtvorům: povídkám a románům včetně kontroverzního žánru slash fiction (erotické nebo pornografické příběhy o mužských hrdinech seriálů Star Trek či Profesionálové), videím důmyslně remixujícím materiál odvysílaných seriálů a také pozoruhodnému žánru filkové hudby. To vše v kontextu etnografie sociálních praktik fanouškovské komunity, od společného sledování seriálů přes výměnu nahraných videokazet po fanouškovské srazy (cony) nejrůznějšího typu a rozsahu. Jenkinsova klasická práce tak nabízí jedinečný raný pohled na dnes všeprostupující kulturu participace, jež se i prostřednictvím sociálních sítí stala jedním z nejvýraznějších atributů dnešních dní. Český překlad byl pořízen z anglického vydání, které vyšlo u příležitosti dvaceti let od prvního publikování knihy. Je doplněn obsáhlým rozhovorem s autorem, v němž Henry Jenkins reflektuje jak svou někdejší badatelskou metodu, tak posuny, k nimž ve fanouškovské praxi i v její odborné reflexi za poslední dvě dekády došlo.

''Provocative, elegant, intriguing - Jenkins is a bold, imaginative writer, brilliant at challenging old assumptions and encouraging you to look at British architecture in a new light'' Rory StewartThe story of Britain is revealed through its buildings, and yet the language of architecture is a mystery to all but a few. In this enlightening history, spanning castles and cathedrals to factories and railway stations, Jenkins translates the hidden narratives infused in the facades we walk past every day.Britain’s history has been formed by its politics, religion and society and these influences can be seen in the architectural styles that have shaped its landscape. From pre-Roman and the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, Classical and Gothic styles surged and retreated from favour only to then be challenged by a new player: Modernism, a style that reflected the stunning technological advances of the second half of the twentieth century.In this narrative history, Simon Jenkins – the bestselling champion of our national heritage – introduces us to the singular, eccentric and sometimes rather ordinary characters who shaped Britain. Jenkins teaches readers to see the world anew, demystifying the elitist language of architecture so that we can all appreciate the buildings around us.

A groundbreaking reassessment of W. H. Auden’s early life and poetry, shedding new light on his artistic development as well as on his shifting beliefs about political belonging in interwar England.W. H. Auden is a towering figure in modern literary history with a complex private self. Hannah Arendt wrote that he had ‘the necessary secretiveness of the great poet’. The Island lays bare for the first time some of the most telling ‘secrets’ of Auden’s early poetry, his world, his emotional life, his values and the sources of his art.In a book that is an argument but also a story, Nicholas Jenkins gives compelling readings of iconic poems. He presents Auden in the inter-War years as both a visionary writer, creatively dependent on dreams and intuitions, and a traumatized poet, haunted by war and suffering, and shadowed by his outsider status as a privileged but queer man.The Island considers, as well, Auden’s imaginative flirtations with a lyrical nationalism appealing to a poet who, for a while, felt his psyche was like a map of English culture. The narrative ends in Auden’s disillusionment with these potent myths and beliefs and the time when he left ‘the island’.Auden’s preoccupations – with the vicissitudes of war and the problems of love, belonging and identity – are of their time but they still resonate profoundly today. ‘A superb, deeply researched study of Auden’s early work and identity. Jenkins’s understanding of young Auden as a poet shaped and haunted by the First World War – assimilating the influence of Wilfred Owen, Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, and W. H. R. Rivers – is convincing, original, and poignant. Fusing biography, cultural history, and literary criticism in innovative and elegant ways, The Island is a landmark publication in modernist studies.’Heather Clark, author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath‘Nicholas Jenkins is one of our most perceptive and resourceful critics. In this wonderful study of the early Auden, he brings to bear history, biography, and an acute sense of the artistic moment to fashion for us a young genius who is conservative, bucolic, gay, a patriotic adherent of post-imperial Little England. Most people work backwards from a writer’s ultimate reputation, but Jenkins gives us a new, unexpected image of a poet developing in the aftermath of World War I and the collapse of modernism.’Edmund White, author of The Humble Lover‘The Island is a Copernican Revolution in Auden studies, a revelatory and often exciting book that presents a new and convincing account of Auden''s early years. It explores, for the first time, the deep connections between the inner workings of his poems and the worlds of politics and economics. By bringing to light Auden''s ambition to be a national poet, Jenkins transforms our understanding of not only Auden himself but all of modernist literature.’Edward Mendelson, author of Early Auden and Later Auden

From one of the country’s most respected religion reporters, a paradigm-shifting discussion of how the Religious Left is actually the moral compass that has long steered America’s political debates, including today.Since the ascendancy of the Religious Right in the 1970s, common wisdom holds that it is a coalition of fundamentalist powerbrokers who are the “moral majority,” setting the standard for conservative Christian values and working to preserve the status quo.But, as national religion reporter Jack Jenkins contends, the country is also driven by a vibrant, long-standing moral force from the left. Constituting an amorphous group of interfaith activists that goes by many names and takes many forms, this coalition has operated since America’s founding — praying, protesting, and marching for common goals that have moved society forward. Throughout our history, the Religious Left has embodied and championed the progressive values at the heart of American democracy—abolition, labor reform, civil rights, environmental preservation.Drawing on his years of reporting, Jenkins examines the re-emergence of progressive faith-based activism, detailing its origins and contrasting its goals with those of the Religious Right. Today’s rapidly expanding interfaith coalition — which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other faiths — has become a force within the larger “resistance” movement. Jenkins profiles Washington political insiders—including former White House staffers and faith outreach directors for the campaigns of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton—as well as a new generation of progressive faith leaders at the forefront today, including:Rev. William Barber II, leader of North Carolina’s Moral Mondays and co-chair of the nationwide Poor People’s campaignLinda Sarsour, co-chair of the Women’s MarchRev. Traci Blackmon, a pastor near Ferguson, Missouri who works to lift up black liberation efforts across the countrySister Simone Campbell, head of the Catholic social justice lobby and the “Nuns on the Bus” tour organizerNative American “water protectors” who demonstrated against the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing RockBishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishopAn exciting reevaluation of America’s moral center and an inspiring portrait of progressive faith-in-action, American Prophets will change the way we think about the intersection of politics and religion.

Explores iconic works from The Cat in the Hat to The Twilight Zone to explain cultural trends in parenting and how we conceptualize childhood The 60s produced a Baby Boom generation that catalyzed the dawn of a new era—the space age, the age of television, the global age, and the beginnings of civil rights. At the same time, a new paradigm for parenting was unfolding that put emphasis on permissiveness, defined by what it permitted – the free and unfettered impulses of children. Others worried that the wildness of children, personified by the characters in Maurice Sendak's 1963 classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, was destructive, disruptive and disrespectful. Where the Wild Things Were centers on the exploding, contentious national conversation about the nature of childhood and parenting in the postwar US emblematized by Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care. Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period's fictions—in film, television, comics, children's books, and elsewhere—produced for and consumed by children. In particular, Jenkins demonstrates, the era's emblematic child was the boy in the striped shirt: white, male, suburban, middle class, Christian, and above all, American. Weaving together intellectual histories and popular texts, Jenkins shows how boy protagonists became embodiments of permissive child rearing, as well as the social ideals and contradictions that permissiveness entailed. From Peanuts comic strips and TV specials to The Cat in the Hat, Dennis the Menace, and Jonny Quest, the book reveals how childhood and the stories about it became central to Cold War concerns with democracy, citizenship, globalization, the space race, science, race relations, gender, and sexuality. Written by a former boy in a striped shirt, Where the Wild Things Were explores iconic works, from Mary Poppins to Lost in Space, contextualizing them through a critical but respectful engagement with the core animating ideas of the permissive imagination.

LONDON: a settlement founded by the Romans, occupied by the Saxons, conquered by the Danes and ruled by the Normans. This changeful place became a medieval maze of alleys and courtyards, later to be chequered with grand estates of Georgian splendour. It swelled with industry and became the centre of the largest empire in history. And having risen from the rubble of the Blitz, it is now one of the greatest cities in the world.From the prehistoric occupants of the Thames Valley to the preoccupied commuters of today, Simon Jenkins brings together the key events, individuals and trends in London''s history to create a matchless portrait of the capital. He masterfully explains the battles that determined how London was conceived and built - and especially the perennial conflict between money and power.Based in part on his experiences of and involvement in the events that shaped the post-war city, and with his trademark colour and authority, Jenkins shows above all how London has taken shape over more than two thousand years. Fascinating for locals and visitors alike, this is narrative history at its finest, from the most ardent protector of our heritage.''A handsome book ... full of the good judgements one might hope for from such a sensible and readable commentator, and they alone are worth perusing for pleasure and food for thought'' Michael Wood, New Statesman on A Short History of England''Any passably cultured inhabitant of the British Isles should ask for, say, three or four copies of this book for Christmas...I can imagine no better companion on a voyage across England'' Max Hastings, Daily Telegraph on England''s Thousand Best Houses

A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK ''Simon Jenkins, as ever, writes with clarity and insight'' Times''One of the liveliest commentators in Britain, always worth reading and pleasingly contrarian'' Jeremy Paxman, GuardianWho were the Celts? Were they a people, a civilisation, an empire, or a fiction of historical imagination? They flit as ghosts through Europe''s ancient past, purported ancestors of the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Cornish and Bretons.Yet they have never been identified with any one land, or with any one history or language.Simon Jenkins argues compellingly that the ''Celts'' is a misleading concept, bundling together quite distinct peoples. The word keltoi first appears in Greek, applied generally to aliens or ''barbarians'' - and theories of Celticism continue to fuel many of the prejudices and misconceptions that divide the British Isles to this day. Fascinating and increasingly relevant, who the Celts were - or weren''t - goes to the heart of the ongoing argument over the future of a dis-United Kingdom.

For 15 years, award-winning travel writer Stephen McClarence and his BBC Radio journalist wife Clare Jenkins made a series of journeys through India to learn about one of its most eccentric and fast-dwindling communities: the Anglo-Indians. Mainly descendants of British men and Indian women, their combined heritage stretches back 350 years through the times of the East India Company and the British Raj. In Jhansi - a railway hub in the state of Uttar Pradesh and inspiration for John Masters''s 1950s book Bhowani Junction - the Anglo-Indian community is reduced to around 30 families. Teatime at Peggy''s shares their stories.Inspired by Jenkins'' own Anglo-Indian family connections, the couple immersed themselves in the customs of this little-known dimension to India, soon developing a profound affection for their new friends, particularly for two of the area''s most memorable figureheads: the title character ''Aunty Peggy'', daughter and widow of railwaymen, overseer of the European cemetery, and ''friend of the great and the good, the rich and the poor''; and Captain Roy Abbott, the last British landowner in India, who never dined without wearing a blazer, cravat and immaculately pressed trousers.The authors spent hours at Peggy''s kitchen table - eating cake, samosas and curry; drinking tea; welcoming eccentric characters, like Pastor Rao who could recite Winston Churchill speeches from memory; listening to stories, told in lilting accents, of the Railway Institute and May Queen Balls, Monsoon Toad Balls (where ''the ugliest, most hideous-looking man'' would win the prize), waltzes and foxtrots, dancing in the jungle to Victor Silvester gramophone records, games of rummy and housey-housey, and Anglo-Indian cookery that embraced plum cake, goat''s brain curry, Mulligatawny soup and crème caramel. Warm, humorous and evocative, Teatime at Peggy''s is a lyrical, loving homage to the Anglo-Indians. Filled with larger-than-life characters and with the ever-present exhilaration of 21st-century India, it is both intimate and revelatory, and a testament to the importance of tradition, community and friendship. This enchanting book is for anyone who knows India well - or who simply yearns to take the ''trip of a lifetime'' to the ''sub-continent''. and see things a little differently.

Since then, animals have evolved an amazing variety of eyes, along with often surprising ways to use them.

Modern societies require energy systems to provide energy for cooking, heating, transport, and materials processing, as well as for electricity generation. Energy systems include the primary fuel, its conversion, and transport to the point of use. In many cases this primary fuel is still a fossil fuel, a one-use resource derived from a finite supply within our planet, causing considerable damage to the environment. After 300 years of increasing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, it is becoming ever clearer that the present energy systems need to change. In this Very Short Introduction Nick Jenkins explores our historic investment in the exploitation of fossil energy resources and their current importance, and discusses the implications of our increasing rate of energy use. He considers the widespread acceptance by scientists and policy makers that our energy systems must reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and looks forward to the radical changes in fuel technology that will be necessary to continue to provide energy supplies in a sustainable manner, and extend access across the developing world. Considering the impact of changing to an environmentally benign and low-carbon energy system, Jenkins also looks at future low-carbon energy systems which would use electricity from a variety of renewable energy sources, as well as the role of nuclear power in our energy use.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

''There are good publishers and there are great publishers. And then there’s Anthony Cheetham.'' Richard DawkinsIn November 1966, by way of Mexico City, Eton College, Balliol College, Oxford, and a Norwegian raspberry farm, Anthony Cheetham entered the doors of a publishing company for the first time to begin work as a junior editor. Fifty-eight years later he could look back on a career in which he had shaped the landscape of post-war British publishing to a significant degree, having established such prominent and notably successful companies as Century, Orion, Quercus and Head of Zeus, and launched imprints – from Abacus in 1973 to Zephyr in 2017 – that continue to flourish in the third decade of the twenty-first century.Starting with Homer’s Odyssey and ending with works by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and the German historian Ernst Kantorowicz, Anthony Cheetham has selected fifty books as mileposts with which to map the course of his long and productive career. Many of these are titles that he himself published (Dune, The Thorn Birds, A Suitable Boy, Meetings with Remarkable Trees, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo); some are books he wished he had published (Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time); others are simply masterworks that left an indelible mark on him (The Lord of the Rings, War and Peace).A Life in Fifty Books is an affectionate and revelatory account of a publishing life remarkable for its longevity, its entrepreneurial energy and for the breadth and catholicity of its output – which runs the gamut of seriousness from academically distinguished works of history, science and philosophy to Confessions of a Window Cleaner. Full of encounters with remarkable individuals as well as extraordinary books and embellished with beautiful photographs of book jackets from the 1950s to the present day, A Life in Fifty Books is an engagingly written survey of an industry which, in its author’s well-chosen words, offers its practitioners ‘…a passport to roam across the entire spectrum of human experience, endeavour and belief’.

Why Japan? In Fifty Sounds, winner of the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize, Polly Barton attempts to exhaust her obsession with the country she moved to at the age of 21, before eventually becoming a literary translator. From min-min, the sound of air screaming, to jin-jin, the sound of being touched for the very first time, from hi''sori, the sound of harbouring masochist tendencies, to mote-mote, the sound of becoming a small-town movie star, Fifty Sounds is a personal dictionary of the Japanese language, recounting her life as an outsider in Japan. Irreverent, humane, witty and wise, Fifty Sounds is an exceptional debut about the quietly revolutionary act of learning, speaking, and living in another language.

Audiokniha: Sex, drogy, rokenrol a divoké sedmdesátky v dramatu kapely, které promlouvá i za jiné… Byla to jedna z nejslavnějších rockových kapel své doby. Fanoušci ji milovali, fanynky z ní šílely, recenzenti její hity vychvalovali do nebes a producenti si mnuli ruce nad milionovými zisky. A pak přišel 12. červenec 1979 – den, kdy se sedm členů skupiny Daisy Jones and The Six vydalo vlastní cestou. Jaká dramata předcházela rozpadu celosvětového fenoménu? Série rozhovorů s rodinou, přáteli i jednotlivými hráči formace se vrací na samý její počátek: do roku 1965. Odvypráví jedinečný příběh lemovaný sny i horoucími vášněmi, závistí i závislostmi a především láskou k hudbě, která je vykořisťována bezcitnou mašinerií popkulturního byznysu. Postupně odhaluje, kdo je ve skutečnosti talentovaná zpěvačka a skladatelka Daisy Jones, jak pohnutou historii má za sebou pittsburské uskupení The Six v čele s tvrdohlavým frontmanem Billym Dunnem i kdy se cesty těchto svéhlavých umělců střetly poprvé. Příběh inspirovaný světoznámou kapelou Fleetwood Mac se stal celosvětovým bestsellerem a dočkal se překladu do více než 25 jazyků. Podle knihy vznikla minisérie s Riley Keoughovou a Samem Claffinem v hlavních rolích, kterou uvedla Amazon TV. „Zákulisní intriky jsou motorem románu a proměňují knihu v oslavu novodobého amerického mýtu.“ – Vogue „Fascinující příběh o sexu, drogách a rokenrolu v 60. a 70. letech. Próza je energická, originální a místy až syrově realistická.“ – Publishers Weekly „Knihu jsem zhltla za jediný den a absolutně jsem se do ní zamilovala. Okouzlující způsob podání Taylor Jenkins Reid mě nadchl tak, že ho nedokážu pustit z hlavy. Její postavy jsou úchvatně komplexní. Daisy i celá kapela mě vzaly za srdce a určitě chytnou i to vaše." – herečka a producentka Reese Witherspoon „Nevázaně rozkošné.“ – Entertainment Weekly
