Peter Burke, emeritní profesor kulturní historie na univerzitě v Cambridgi, touto knihou navazuje na první díl svého souhrnného zamyšlení nad vztahem Společnosti a vědění a oba svazky souborně podávají přehled o vývoji znalostních a vzdělávacích praktik, institucí a trendů od Gutenberga po Google . Hranici mezi oběma částmi tvoří rok 1750 a osvícenská Encyklopedie. Éra probíraná v tomto svazku je charakterizována posilováním centrálních vlád a fenoménem moderního totalitarismu, rozmachem pozorovatelské a zaznamenávací techniky a též prostředků kontinentálního a mezikontinentálního transportu, sílící převahou přírodních věd a vznikem ohromných kolektivních projektů. To vše se do sféry vědění či poznání velmi zřetelně promítlo a přeneslo to tendence, jejichž historické pozadí často sahá daleko do minulosti, na novou kvalitativní úroveň, což vedlo k pokroku, ale také ke střetu protichůdných tendencí a k vědomostním ztrátám. Burke ve svém výkladu mimo jiné probírá kontrast specializace a demokratizace, nacionalismu a internacionalismu, vlastnických práv a obecné dostupnosti či užitečného vědění a čistého poznání. Podobně důležitý je kontrast centra a periferie, ať už je centrum obsazeno akademickou sférou, přírodními vědami, moderními metropolemi či evropským Západem.

What is Cultural History? has established itself as an essential guide to what cultural historians do and how they do it. Now fully updated in its third edition, leading historian Peter Burke offers afresh his accessible account of the past, present and future of cultural history, as it has been practised not only in the English-speaking world, but also in Continental Europe, Asia, South America and elsewhere. Burke begins by discussing the ⠘classic⠙ phase of cultural history, associated with Jacob Burckhardt and Johan Huizinga, and the Marxist reaction to it, from Frederick Antal to Edward Thompson. He then charts the rise of cultural history in more recent times, concentrating on the work of the last generation, often described as the ⠘New Cultural History⠙. He places cultural history in its own cultural context, noting links between new approaches to historical thought and writing and the rise of feminism, postcolonial studies and an everyday discourse in which the idea of culture plays an increasingly important part. The new edition also surveys the latest developments in the field and considers the directions that cultural history has been taking in the twenty-first century and may take in the future. This landmark book will continue to be essential reading for students of history, anthropology, cultural studies and literary studies.

Pain and pleasure are simple ideas, incapable of definition. In 1757 the 27-year-old Edmund Burke argued that our aesthetic responses are experienced as pure emotional arousal, unencumbered by intellectual considerations. In so doing he overturned the Platonic tradition in aesthetics that had prevailed from antiquity until the eighteenth century, and replaced metaphysics with psychology and even physiology as the basis for the subject. Burke s theory of beauty encompasses the female form, nature, art, and poetry, and he analyses our delight in sublime effects that thrill and excite us. His revolution in method continues to have repercussions in the aesthetic theories of today, and his revolution in sensibility has paved the way for literary and artistic movements from the Gothic novel through Romanticism, twentieth-century painting, and beyond. In this new edition Paul Guyer conducts the reader through Burke s Enquiry, focusing on its place in the history of aesthetics and highlighting its innovations, as well as its influence on many subsequent authors from Kant and Schiller to Ruskin and Nietzsche.

Edmund Burke was the dominant political thinker of the last quarter of the eighteenth century in England. His reputation depends less on his role as a practising politician than on his ability to set contemporary problems within a wider context of political theory. Above all, he commented on change. He tried to teach lessons about how change should be managed, what limits should not be transgressed, and what should be reverently preserved. Burke s generation was much in need of advice on these matters. The Industrial Revolution, the American Revolution, and catastrophically, the French Revolution presented challenges of terrible proportions. They could promise paradise or threaten anarchy. Burke was acutely aware of how high the stakes were. The Reflections on the Revolution in France was a dire warning of the consequences that would follow the mismanagement of change.

Amid the 18th centuryâ ™s golden generation that included his companions Adam Smith, Samuel Johnson and Edward Gibbon, Burkeâ ™s controversial mixture of conservative and subversive theories made him first a marginal figure, and finally a revered theorist â “ a hero of the Romantics. He warned of the effects of British rule in Ireland, the loss of the American colonies, and most famously, he foresaw the disastrous consequences of revolution in France. This he predicted, would trigger extremism, terror and the atomisation of society â “ a profound analysis that continues to resonate today.In this absorbing new biography Conservative MP Jesse Norman gives us Burke anew, vividly depicting his dazzling intellect, imagination and empathy against the rich tapestry of 18th century Europe. Burkeâ ™s wisdom, Norman shows, applies well beyond the times of empire to the conventional democratic politics practised in Britain and America today. We cannot understand the defects of the modern world, or modern politics, without him.

â ˜Wise and wonderfully enjoyable. . . . timely and terrifically witty.â ™ â ” John Banville, The Observerâ ˜Mark Lilla is always a challenging, fascinating mind â “ alert to all the power, paradox, and dangers of ignorance.â ™ â ” Rory StewartAristotle claimed that â ˜all human beings want to knowâ ™. Yet we also want not to know. Centuries after the Enlightenment, mesmerised crowds still follow preposterous prophets; irrational rumours trigger fanatical acts; and magical thinking crowds out common sense and expertise. Where does this will to ignorance originate, and how does it shape our lives today?Acclaimed essayist and historian of ideas Mark Lilla offers an absorbing intellectual travelogue of the human will not to know. He ranges with brio from the Book of Genesis and Platoâ ™s dialogues to Sufi parables and Sigmund Freud, revealing the paradoxes of hiding truth from ourselves. Lilla also exposes the illusions that this impulse can lead us to entertain: our belief in the ecstasies of prophet figures as a gateway to truth, the myth of childrenâ ™s wise simplicity, and the yearning for vanished, allegedly purer civilisations.

Kdo to byl Michail Čechov? Jaká byla jeho divadelní metoda? Jaké prvky přenesl do své metody a pedagogiky ze svého původního působení v Moskevském uměleckém divadle a z technik Konstantina Stanislavského? Jakým způsobem tyto techniky upravil a rozšířil při výuce herectví na školách, které vedl v britském Dartingtonu a později v americkém Ridgefieldu? Jaké nové aspekty při vývoji metody, která nese jeho jméno a díky níž se kultivuje americké herectví již dlouhá desetiletí, připojil? Jakou roli v procesu učení se této metodě hrají jeho publikace a pedagogická tradice, kterou dál předávali jeho studenti? V čem spočívá přetrvávající vliv a důležitost jeho pedagogiky? - Na tyto otázky se pokouší odpovědět česko-americká herečka a pedagožka Lenka Pichlíková-Burke. Po studiích na pražské DAMU a slibně se rozvíjející herecké kariéře v českém divadle, filmu a televizi se autorka knihy na počátku 80. let vydala do USA, kde se vedle dalšího hereckého školení věnovala i studiu pantomimy u slavného francouzského mima Marcela Marceaua. Od té doby spojuje vlastní uměleckou práci s pedagogickou: přednáší na Fairfieldské univerzitě v Connecticutu a jako specialistka na hereckou pedagogiku působí i na Purchase College při Státní univerzitě v New Yorku. Dlouhodobě spolupracuje s MICHA - The Michael Chekhov Association, která zaštiťuje každoroční setkávání profesionálů a učitelů herectví při mistrovských kurzech zaměřených na Čechovovu techniku. Vedle popisu vlastních zkušeností se studiem hereckých technik představuje Lenka Pichlíková-Burke koncepci 28 lekcí založených na praktických hereckých cvičeních a rozvíjejících jednotlivé prvky Čechovovy metody, která klade důraz na propojení hercova těla s jeho psychologií, na práci s představivostí a atmosférou a na využití tzv. imaginárních center či imaginárního těla při vytváření postavy. Z obsahu: Studium Čechovovy techniky v MICHA (Asociace Michaila Čechova): Práh, vědomí, přijímání a dávání | Pohyb/gesto a jeho kvality, ‘čtyři bratři a jiné formy | Šestisměrný pohyb ve staccatu a legatu | ‘Čtyři bratři : cit pro lehkost, cit pro formu, cit pro krásu, smysl pro celistvost | Cit pro lehkost | Cit pro formu | Tíha, světlost, rovnováha a lehkost | Cit pro krásu | Smysl pro celistvost | Další kvality pohybu a obrazů | Polarity (kontrasty) | Představivost - Práce s obrazy - Použití při tvorbě postavy | Psychologické gesto a další archetypální gesta | Centra, imaginární centra a ohniskové body Sylabus a výuková osnova Čechovovy techniky: Lekce 1-28 Rejstřík pojmů Michaila Čechova

As he tries to honor her memory by saving two young men from a life of crime amid their opioid-ravaged community, he is drawn into a network of villainy that includes a violent former Klansman, a far-from-holy minister, a biker club posing as evangelicals, and a murderer who has been hiding in plain sight. Aaron’s only ally is state police officer Ruby Spotted Horse, a no-nonsense woman who harbors some powerful secrets in her cellar. Despite the air of mystery surrounding her, Ruby is the only one Aaron can trust.

Burke s seminal work was written during the early months of the French Revolution, and it predicted with uncanny accuracy many of its worst excesses, including the Reign of Terror. A scathing attack on the revolution s attitudes to existing institutions, property and religion, it makes a cogent case for upholding inherited rights and established customs, argues for piecemeal reform rather than revolutionary change - and deplores the influence Burke feared the revolution might have in Britain. Reflections on the Revolution in France is now widely regarded as a classic statement of conservative political thought, and is one of the eighteenth century s great works of political rhetoric.

From social media star and change-maker Molly Burke, a vulnerable, honest, and darkly humorous memoir on navigating the challenges of being a blind woman in a sighted world When Molly Burke was four years old, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that leads to eventual blindness, forcing her to see the world through new eyes—literally. Growing up disabled didn’t stop her from playing sports, becoming a rock-climbing instructor, or winning a beauty pageant, but other people’s narrow perceptions of her held her back. Years of relentless bullying, toxic work environments, a rodent-infested apartment, and life’s lowest moments were juxtaposed with red carpets, first-class flights, and personal and professional achievements. Throughout her life, Molly has learned to appreciate the duality, and, most importantly, she’s learned the beauty of being unapologetically yourself and standing up for what you truly believe in. In Unseen, Molly chronicles her journey as a disabled woman, entrepreneur, and entertainer, illuminating what her experiences have taught her and what she hopes others can learn from her hardship and successes. Part memoir, part rallying cry for a more compassionate and empathetic world, Unseen recounts Molly’s life and experiences fighting against the expectations society set for her and, in doing so, helps readers find their own voice, inner strength, and self-acceptance.

How sorely our public debate needs others to express themselves similarly. -- Henry Mance, Financial Times An urgent and exhilarating account of how populism, prejudice polarisation have corrupted objective truth and public discourse.

In the much-mourned absence of Christopher Hitchens, d Ancona is fast becoming the voice of enlightenment for our bewildered age. -- Emily Maitlis A tonic for our times that blows open any complacency following Trump s defeat that the demise of populism and nativism is inevitable.

The old tools of political analysis are obsolete - they have rusted and are no longer fit for purpose. We ve grown lazy, wedded to the assumption that, after ruptures such as Brexit, the pandemic, and the rise of the populist Right, things will eventually go back to normal .Award-winning political writer Matthew d Ancona invites you to think afresh: to seek new ways of challenging political extremism, bombastic populism and democratic torpor on both Left and Right. In this ground-breaking book, he proposes a new way of understanding our era and plots a way forward.
