In Praise of Disobedience draws on works from a single miraculous year in which Oscar Wilde published the larger part of his greatest works in prose — the year he came into maturity as an artist. Before the end of 1891, he had written the first of his phenomenally successful plays and met the young man who would win his heart, beginning the love affair that would lead to imprisonment and public infamy. In a witty introduction, playwright, novelist and Wilde scholar Neil Bartlett explains what made this point in the writer’s life central to his genius and why Wilde remains a provocative and radical figure to this day. Included here are the entirety of Wilde’s foray into political philosophy, The Soul of Man Under Socialism; the complete essay collection Intentions; selections from The Picture of Dorian Gray as well as its paradoxical and scandalous preface; and some of Wilde’s greatest fictions for children. Each selection is accompanied by stimulating and enlightening annotations. A delight for fans of Oscar Wilde, In Praise of Disobedience will revitalize an often misunderstood legacy.

A fully illustrated, beautifully produced edition of Junichiro Tanizaki''s wise and evocative essay on Japanese culture. ‘We find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates… Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty.’ This book is in fact a portal. Reading it, you will be led by Junichiro Tanizaki’s light touch into a mysterious and tranquil world of darkness and shadows, where gold flashes in the gloom and a deep stillness reigns. If you are accustomed to equate light with clarity, the faded with the worthless and the dim with the dreary, prepare for a courteous but powerful realignment of your ideas. In Praise of Shadows is a poetic paean to traditional Japanese aesthetics – in a free-ranging style that moves from architecture to No theatre, and from cookery to lighting, Tanizaki teaches us to see the beauty in tarnished metal, the sombre dignity in unglazed pottery, the primacy of organic materials that bear witness to the regular touch of human hands. It is also astonishingly prescient, offering a gentle warning against the quest for airbrushed perfection, and reminding us that too ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In a world saturated with images, some, strangely, are lacking. The 19th edition of MOMENTA aims to open up multiple perspectives for experimentation and speculation on the nature, uses, and production of missing images. In Praise of the Missing Image explores both contemporary challenges in relation to the image and the current consequences of the complex dynamics involved in constructing narratives. Which stories are told, how, and by whom?This publication presents the 22 exhibitions in the Biennale, as well as an exclusive series of graphic scores by the artist Lou Sheppard. In their original essays, the guest authors enrich and broaden the reflections inherent to the themes of the curator, Marie-Ann Yemsi: Françoise Vergès wonders how to make the narratives of “missing images” heard in the image, and Yaniya Lee suggests that we move away from representation and, instead, embrace alternative methodologies for liberation.Artists: Iván Argote, Raphaël Barontini, Raven Chacon, Omar Victor Diop + Lee Shulman, Gabrielle Goliath, Maureen Gruben, Anique Jordan, Joyce Joumaa, Martin Akwiranoron Loft, Caroline Mauxion, Na Mira, Mallory Lowe Mpoka, Niap, Josèfa Ntjam, Myriam Omar Awadi, Frida Orupabo, OK Pedersen, Paul Seesequasis, Lou Sheppard, Sanaz Sohrabi, Paula Valero Comín, Anouk Verviers.

A new century, new threats to love . . . Love without risks is like war without deaths - but, today, love is threatened by an alliance of liberalism and hedonism. Caught between consumerism and casual sexual encounters devoid of passion, love - without the key ingredient of chance - is in danger of withering on the vine.In In Praise of Love, Alain Badiou takes on contemporary ''dating agency'' conceptions of love that come complete with zero-risk insurance - like US zero-casualty bombs. He develops a new take on love that sees it as an adventure, and an opportunity for re-invention, in a constant exploration of otherness and difference that leads the individual out of an obsession with identity and self. Liberal, libertine and libertarian reductions of love to instant pleasure and non-commitment bite the dust as Badiou invokes a supporting cast of thinkers from Plato to Lacan via Karl Marx to form a new narrative of romance, relationships and sex - a narrative that does not fear love.

When Anne Dufourmantelle drowned in a heroic attempt to save two children caught in rough seas, obituaries around the world rarely failed to recall that she was the author of a book entitled In Praise of Risk, implying that her death confirmed the ancient adage that to philosophize is to learn how to die. Now available in English, this magnificent and already much-discussed book indeed offers a trenchant critique of the psychic work the modern world devotes to avoiding risk.Yet this is not a book on how to die but on how to live. For Dufourmantelle, risk entails an encounter not with an external threat to life but with something hidden in life that conditions our approach to such ordinary risks as disobedience, passion, addiction, leaving family, and solitudeKeeping jargon to a minimum, Dufourmantelle weaves philosophical reflections together with clinical case histories. The everyday fears, traumas, and resistances that therapy addresses brush up against such broader concerns as terrorism, insurance, addiction, artistic creation, and political revolution. Taking up a project than joins the work of many French thinkers, such as Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, Hélène Cixous, Giorgio Agamben, and Catherine Malabou, Dufourmantelle works to dislodge Western philosophy, psychoanalysis, ...

What kind of philosophy do we need for the 21st century? To answer to this question, Alain Badiou imagines a dialogue between Tocéras, an earnest and engaging professor, and various interlocutors from different countries and philosophical cultures – John After from Britain, Amantha from Greece, B’adj Akil from Senegal, Xi La Pong from China and several others. Their conversation takes readers on a playful journey through the history of philosophy framed by the five great questions that have preoccupied Alain Badiou: democracy, freedom, universality, language and being. At the same time, philosophy is presented not as a system or doctrine but as movement and dialogue. The philosopher is not a solitary figure; he is inseparable from his pupils, his disciples and his adversaries. It is only at the end of the journey that he arrives at the written, stable forms of his work. So we are dealing more with a play than a treatise, more with dialogues than monologues, more with a course than a book. The obvious model is Plato's Socrates, who, in founding philosophy as a discipline, ensured that it could be established anywhere in the world. In praise, yes, of philosophy as the public creation of a ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The fifth volume of the Dalai Lama’s definitive Library of Wisdom and Compassion series, which has sold nearly 15,000 copies to date.In Praise of Great Compassion, the fifth volume of the Library of Wisdom and Compassion, continues the Dalai Lama’s teachings on the path to awakening. While previous volumes focused on our present situation and taking responsibility for creating the causes for the happiness we seek, this volume is about opening our hearts to others and generating the compassion, joy, and fortitude to make our lives meaningful by benefiting them. We are embedded in a universe with other beings, all of whom have been kind to us in one way or another. More than any other time in human history, we depend on one another to stay alive and flourish. We are sometimes oblivious to their kindness, or take it for granted, which leads to feelings of discontent. But when we look closely, it becomes apparent that we have been the recipient of great kindness and naturally we want to repay it. To do this, we begin by cultivating a positive attitude toward others by contemplating the four immeasurables—immeasurable love, compassion, empathic joy, and equanimity—and the altruistic intention of bodhicitta. ...

The earth is not a dead, mute landscape but an eloquent, living being. Sometimes it just takes a spade, a packet of seeds, and a pair of sturdy boots to realize it. The philosopher Byung-Chul Han spent three springs, summers, autumns, and winters in his secret garden in Berlin, devoting himself to daily gardening in all weathers. For Han, gardening is a form of silent meditation, a lingering in stillness. It gives you a different sense of time. Every plant has its own time that is specific to it, and the garden is a space in which these multiple temporalities overlap and cut across one another. The longer he worked in the garden, the more respect he developed for the earth and for its enchanting beauty. Gardening taught him what care for others means. Each organism has its own consciousness of time passing; each organism lives in its own micro-universe. Step by step, Han receded from himself and the world, moving closer and closer to an exuberant, divine nature which we are increasingly in danger of losing. Through this rich meditation on plants, soil, gardening, and time, Han unfolds a way of relating to and tending the earth that is ... Unknown localization key: "more"

James C. Scott reframes rivers as alive and dynamic, revealing the consequences of treating them as resources for our profit A New Yorker Best Book of the Year “Informative, enjoyable, and provocative. . . . Scott’s [prose] is dry, clear, and scalding with moral purpose.”—Becca Rothfeld, Washington Post Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered.  It is the annual flood pulse—the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain—that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees. In demonstrating these threats to the riverine world, award-winning author James C. Scott examines the life history of a particular river, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) of Burma, the heartland and superhighway of Burman culture.  Scott opens our understanding of rivers to encompass their entirety—tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, backwaters, eddies, periodic marshlands, and the assemblage of life forms dependent on rivers for their existence and well-being.

“What [Ekelund is] addressing is the intention to walk one’s way to meaning: the walk as spiritual exercise, a kind of vision quest... A key strategy for finding ourselves, then, is to first get lost.”—The New York Times Book ReviewAn ode to paths and the journeys we take through nature, as told by a gifted writer who stopped driving and rediscovered the joys of traveling by foot.Torbjørn Ekelund started to walk—everywhere—after an epilepsy diagnosis affected his ability to drive. The more he ventured out, the more he came to love the act of walking, and an interest in paths emerged. In this poignant, meandering book, Ekelund interweaves the literature and history of paths with his own stories from the trail. As he walks with shoes on and barefoot, through forest creeks and across urban streets, he contemplates the early tracks made by ancient snails and traces the wanderings of Romantic poets, amongst other musings.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally MinogueElizabeth Barrett Browning was such an acclaimed poet in her own lifetime that she was suggested as a candidate for the Poet Laureateship when Wordsworth died in 1850. Yet today we have only a limited knowledge of her considerable life's work as a poet, in part because of a lack of representative but accessible editions of her work. Readers will find here not only her well-known sonnet sequence of love poems, Sonnets From the Portuguese, but also lesser known sonnets, some in praise of the cross-dressing bohemian writer George Sand, others to contemporary poets and artists.Her religious and spiritual poetry echoes that of the Metaphysical poets. A different voice emerges in her social and political protest poems, such as 'The Cry of the Children' and 'The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point'. Her experimental ballads allowed her to develop a distinctive way of writing about women within an apparently conventional form.In the outstanding work of her maturity, Aurora Leigh, the woman's voice takes centre stage.

Just in time for the Apocalypse comes a new Biblical scripture from God and thirteen-time Emmy Award–winning comedy writer David Javerbaum.3,000 years ago, King David wrote The Book of Psalms—hymns in praise of God that became famous worldwide. Now, with humanity on the verge of a self-generated catastrophe, God (with the help of another David) has decided to return, and reverse, the favor. God has collected a cornucopia of insults of the human race in the form of prose, poetry, and parody. From topics as diverse as COVID-19, Trump, racism, abortion, meth, math, and on a lighter note, the platypus, God provides a 21st-century spin on life’s many problems. And he’s not alone: his son Jesus Christ has contributed thirty sermons of his own, updating some of his Biblical teachings for the modern audience.

Offers a philosophical history of bridges—both literal bridges and their symbolic counterparts—and the acts of cultural connection they embody. “Always,” wrote Philip Larkin, “it is by bridges that we live.” Bridges represent our aspirations to connect, to soar across divides. And it is the unfinished business of these aspirations that makes bridges such stirring sights, especially when they are marvels of ingenuity. A rich compendium of myths, superstitions, and literary and ideological figurations, Of Bridges organizes a poetic and philosophical history of bridges into nine thematic clusters. Leaping in lucid prose between distant times and places, Thomas Harrison questions why bridges are built and where they lead. He probes links forged by religion between life’s transience and eternity as well as the consolidating ties of music, illustrated by the case of the blues. He investigates bridges in poetry, as flash points in war, and the megabridges of our globalized world. He illuminates real and symbolic crossings facing migrants each day and the affective connections that make persons and societies cohere. In readings of literature, film, philosophy, and art, Harrison engages in a profound reflection on how bridges form and transform cultural communities.

Kniha zpracovává jeden z klíčových konceptů, s nimiž přišel slavný sociolog Zygmunt Bauman. Podle něj ideu tekuté modernity charakterizuje individualismus, narůstající pocit nejistoty a privatizace ambivalence. Jde o chaotické pokračování moderny, kdy jedinec může volně přejít z jedné sociální pozice do jiné. Typickým rysem tekuté modernity je nomádství, člověk proplouvající světem jako turista, měnící místa, zaměstnání, partnery, hodnoty, politickou a sexuální orientaci, aniž by vytvářel a participoval na tradičních sítích vztahů a zodpovědností. Ty jsou nahrazeny osobní, zcela individuální volbou. Zkoumání změn, které znamenají nástup tekuté modernity pro lidskou situaci, rozděluje Bauman do pěti částí, ve kterých podrobně analyzuje proměny základních moderních konceptů: 1. úsilí o emancipaci, 2. myšlenku individualizace – představu, že je na jedinci, aby se sám stal tím, kým chce být, 3. představu pokroku a práce jako prostředku, jak ovládnout budoucnost, 4. oddělení času a prostoru, 5. národní stát.Zygmunt Bauman (1925–2017) byl polsko-britský sociolog a filozof, jeden z nejvýznamnějších teoretiků společenských věd. Zabýval se otázkami modernity, holokaustu, postmoderního konzumerismu apod.

Náš tekutý moderní svět není - jako všechny tekutiny - schopen zůstat v klidu a podržet si nadlouho svůj tvar. Všechno, nebo téměř všechno se v něm neustále mění. A my, obyvatelé tohoto neustále se měnícího světa, cítíme potřebu se tomuto světu přizpůsobovat, a to tak, že jsme "flexibilní" a trvale připravení se rovněž měnit. Chceme vědět, co se děje a co se pravděpodobně přihodí, ale zaplavuje nás příliv informací, které nás hrozí zcela zahltit. Nic se nevzpírá podrobnému zkoumání tak urputně jako běžné věci každodenního života, které se skrývají ve světle klamné a zavádějící důvěrné známosti. Aby je bylo možné pozorně prozkoumat, je třeba je nejdříve vytrhnout z této každodenní rutiny: to, co je zdánlivé známé, se musí stát neznámým. A přesně o to se Zygmunt Bauman v těchto 44 dopisech pokusil: každý z dopisů vypravuje příběh převzatý z běžného života, ale tak, aby se ukázaly mimořádné aspekty, jež bychom jinak měli tendenci přehlédnout. Poutavé, objevné, znepokojivé - takové jsou dopisy Zygmunta Baumana, analytika našeho moderního tekutého světa, které psal v letech 2008 až 2009 pro čtenáře jednoho italského časopisu.

Tekutý život přispívá k rostoucí nerovnosti, nejistotě a nedůvěře. Současná, moderní společnost rezignovala na své sociální základy a stabilní, pevný řád transformovala do měkké a pružné formy v domnění, že tím dosáhne maximální otevřenosti. Taková společnost ale nedokáže trvale udržet tvar, přetéká z jedné polohy do druhé, její podoby jsou krátkodobé a cíle méně angažované. Člověk se může opírat jen o minimum jistot a stále méně spoléhat na solidaritu a odpovědnost jednotlivce. Sociolog Zygmunt Bauman, autor teorie o "tekutosti" současného světa, ve své knize Tekutý život navazuje na svou nejznámější publikaci Tekutá modernita. Bauman je znám jako velký kritik globalizace a jejich neblahých dopadů na lidskou společnost. Jakkoli se vymezuje vůči individualismu, nečiní tak z ideové pozice postmarxisty, nýbrž ústy sociologa, jenž za flexibilitou jednotlivce a neomezenými možnostmi, které pro dosažení svého úspěchu prosazuje, vidí rovněž narůstající populismus, bezohlednost a technokratické pojetí života. Jednotlivec se přestává socializovat a svou individuální roli nespatřuje v činnosti ve prospěch komunitního celku, ale uskupení ekonomického, které je soustředěno výhradně na zisk, bez ohledu na jakoukoliv solidaritu a další možné negativní důsledky například v oblasti ekologie či kultury.

Rozbor sociologických kořenů holocaustu, tj. vyvraždění deseti milonů Evropanů v nacistických koncentračních táborech. Možnosti prevence budoucích genocid. Bauman chápe holocaust jako "židovskou tragédii", zdůrazňuje však její specifické rysy, které ji odlišují od všech ostatních genocid. Konstatuje, že holocaust se objevil a byl realizován v naší moderní, racionalizované a racionalistické společnosti, na vysoké úrovni rozvoje naší civilizace a na vrcholu úspěchů lidské kultury - ale právě proto je problémem této společnosti, této civilizace a této kultury. Holocaust je tak pochopen nikoliv "pouze" jako historická událost, ale jako dějinný milník, jako výpověď o povaze a charakteru naší civilizace, o tom, jak degenerovala lidská racionalita a k jakým cílům byla použita. Baumanova kniha zařazuje holocaust do kontextu sociologických analýz rasismu, ale překračuje je tím, že dokládá tragickou dialektiku "výjimečnosti a normality" holocaustu. Autor bez moralizování prokazuje, jak se v polovině 20. století dostal osvícenský racionalismus do ostrého konfliktu s morálkou a nenalezl z něj východisko. Bibliografie prací Zygmunta Baumana čítá několik desítek knižních monografií, avšak právě kniha Modernita a holocaust z roku 1989 je pokládána veřejností (nejen akademickou) i autorem samým za dílo přelomové: touto knihou se stal světově uznávaným sociologem a autoritou v oblasti analýzy pozdně moderní doby.

Známý sociolog Zygmunt Bauman (1925 - 2017) se ve své poslední knize věnuje tématu uprchlické krize. Na pozadí současné situace analyzuje původ a dopady morání paniky, ukazuje, jak politici zneužívají strachu obyvatel a dochází k závěru, že bychom se místo stavění zdí měli pokusit spíše o budování mostů.

Vedlejší škody, sousloví známé především z vojenské terminologie, užívá sociolog Zygmunt Bauman, když se zamýšlí nad narůstající sociální nerovností a marginalizací lidského utrpení, jež dosahují stále větších rozměrů. Chudoba je běžně vnímána jako problém neschopnosti vydělat peníze a je v zásadě kriminalizována. Nejnižší vrstva společnosti je v postavení, kdy by se jí ostatní nejraději zbavili. Takovéto chápání chudoby zakrývá sociální kořeny nerovnosti, které spočívají v kombinaci konzumní životní filozofie propagované a vštěpované spotřebitelsky orientovanou ekonomikou a úbytkem životních šancí dostupných chudým. V našem současném, tekutém a moderním světě jsou chudí vedlejší škodou společnosti orientované na zisk. Jsou to cizinci uvnitř, kteří jsou zbaveni práv, jimž se těší ostatní členové společenského řádu. Vydáním knihy Vedlejší škody s podtitulem Sociální nerovnosti v globálním věku navazujeme na předešlé Baumanovy tituly (Tekuté zlo, Tekutý život, Tekutý strach a Morální slepota).

V životě, kde jsou hodnoty odvozovány od kasovních trháků a lidé touží po nejnovějších technických a módních vychytávkách, kde svůj názor odvozují od bulvárních drbů a jsou líní přemýšlet nad složitými otázkami, čelíme vážnému riziku, že ztratíme citlivost a přestaneme vnímat utrpení druhých. Zlo totiž neodhaluje svou tvář jen za okolností, v nichž lidé často jednají pod extrémním nátlakem, jako jsou například války, projevuje se převážně v každodenní necitlivosti k utrpení druhých, v neschopnosti či odmítání je pochopit a v náhodném odvracení etického pohledu. Zlo a mravní slepota se skrývají v tom, co považujeme za normální, v triviálnostech a v banalitě každodenního života, a to nejen v abnormálních a výjimečných případech. Britský sociolog Zygmunt Bauman a litevský filosof a politolog Leonidas Donskis jev morální slepoty analyzují prostřednictvím konceptu adiafory - umístění určitých činů nebo kategorií lidských bytostí mimo svět morálních závazků a hodnocení. Adiafora implikuje postoj lhostejnosti k tomu, co se ve světě děje, je znakem mravní otupělosti, která se podle autorů stále více vzmáhá v západní společnosti. Vydáním knihy Morální slepota s podtitulem Ztráta citlivosti v tekuté modernitě navazujeme na předešlé Baumanovy tituly (Tekuté zlo, Tekutý život, Tekutý strach).

Vo svojej poslednej knihe, ktorá bola publikovaná až po jeho smrti v januári 2017, sa Bauman venuje tendenciám, ktoré sú prejavom nostalgických túžob po idealizovanej či imaginárnej minulosti. Z tejto pozície analyzuje príčiny kríz súčasnej spoločnosti. Kniha uzatvára bohatú Baumanovu spisbu a pridáva sa k slávnym titulom ako Tekutá modernita, Tekutá láska, či Modernita a holokaust.

Pomocí precizní definice „tekutého zla“ podávají autoři jedinečnou diagnózu aktuální geopolitické situace v Evropě, která se vyznačuje vratkostí, nejistotou, permanentními změnami, politickým populismem a prohlubujícími se rozdíly napříč společností. Tekuté zlo s podtitulem Život bez alternativ je předposlední knihou polsko-britského sociologa Zygmunta Baumana (1925 – 2017) a litevského filozofa a politologa Leonidase Donskise (1962 – 2016). Kniha popisuje fenomén zla, které je ze své podstaty všudypřítomné a nesmrtelné, ve své současné podobě však přesto odlišné od všech svých minulých podob: jedná se o takzvané „tekuté zlo“. Na rozdíl od „pevného zla“ minulosti (které bylo např. produktem zločinných režimů SSSR a Hitlerovy Třetí říše), jež se vyznačovalo koncentrovaností, centrálním dohledem, a tudíž i snadnou detekovatelností, definují autoři knihy „tekuté zlo“ jako obtížně uchopitelné, neustále proměnlivé, těžko vystopovatelné, a tím i zrádnější a ve svých důsledcích také zlověstnější. Základním prostředkem „tekutého zla“ není hrubá síla, ale metoda svádění a následného ústupu. „Tekuté zlo“ má jedinečnou schopnost převlékat háv a vystupovat v roli přítele (např. populistického politika slibujícího rychlá řešení, nebo sledovacích zařízení, která si sami dobrovolně implementujeme do mobilu), načež zničí vše, co bylo vybudováno a zanechá po sobě pustou planinu.

Na počátku jednadvacátého století žijeme znovu v době strachu. Ať už jde o strach z válečných konfliktů, teroristických útoků nebo z přírodních, ekologických katastrof. Žijeme ve stavu neustálé úzkosti z nebezpečí, která mohou kdykoli a neohlášeně zasáhnout. Strachem nazýváme naši nejistotu - tváří v tvář rizikům, jež charakterizují naši tekutou moderní dobu, naši nevědomost o tom, co přesně hrozba představuje, a naši neschopnost určit, co lze a co nelze udělat, abychom jí čelili. Přitom modernita měla být podle Zygmunta Baumana, jednoho z předních sociálních myslitelů naší doby, takovým obdobím v dějinách lidstva, kdy obavy, které v minulosti pronikaly do společenského života, se již měly jevit jako nadbytečné. Lidé měli převzít nad svými životy kontrolu, držet je pevně v rukou a nést za ně odpovědnost. Baumanova kniha Tekutý strach přináší výčet moderních tekutých strachů, pokouší se odhalit jejich společné zdroje, analyzovat překážky, hromadící se na cestě k jejich identifikaci, a zkoumat způsoby, jak je vyřadit z provozu nebo je zneškodnit. Prostřednictvím svého popisu obav a úzkostí, které nás dnes tíží, Bauman rovněž upozorňuje na problémy, jimž budeme muset čelit a řešit je po většinu tohoto století, pokud chceme, aby na jeho konci pociťovali naši bližní větší jistotu, než dnes cítíme my.

Ambivalence je téma, které se v díle Zygmunta Baumana objevuje velmi často. V jeho analýzách modernity, v knihách o životě v tekuté moderní společnosti, jde téměř vždy o motiv ústřední. Baumanova sociologická perspektiva sama o sobě vyzařuje ambivalenci a mnohá témata, která během své kariéry zkoumal - například svobodu, morálku, nesmrtelnost a utopii - jsou sama o sobě fundamentálním vyjádřením ambivalence. Bauman trvá na tom, že svět není jednou provždy pevně daný, ale že jej lidé mohou zpochybňovat a měnit, a ambivalence tak není nemocí, kterou je třeba léčit, ale spíše faktem, který je třeba přijmout.Ambivalence je nedílnou součástí našeho lidského bytí. Je nedílnou součástí naší zkušenostní a emocionální sféry, zakořeněným aspektem našich životních rozhodnutí a konfrontace se společností, jakýmsi nepříjemným prostředníkem mezi nadějemi a skutečně existující realitou. Ambivalence je pojem, který se používá k popisu smíšených emocí a komplexního prožívání toho, že jsme jakoby chyceni mezi protichůdné nebo konfliktní póly (očekávání, možnosti, volby atd.) a nemůžeme mít obojí zároveň. Je zřejmé, že ambivalence se v lidských dějinách objevovala po celou dobu. Zdá se však, jako bychom v moderní době na jedné straně vyprodukovali dosud nevídané množství ambivalence a zároveň jsme vůči tomuto fenoménu stále více netolerantní, a proto se ...

Evil is not confined to war or to circumstances in which people are acting under extreme duress. Today it more frequently reveals itself in the everyday insensitivity to the suffering of others, in the inability or refusal to understand them and in the casual turning away of one s ethical gaze.

The English language is now a lingua franca spoken by about two billion people. This insightful study considers how a "bridge language" affects world literature by analyzing what it is, how it works, what are its themes, what it means for canons, and how it is mediated.Cultural criticism often employs perspectives of race, citizenship, and colonialism, as well as considerations of scale (archipelagic, planetary), form (analogies between the literary and the social), and technologies (as they inflect artifacts). These approaches help rethink the new dynamics of anglophone literature, but they have often overlooked one of the basic elements of literature – the language itself. Literatures in English vernaculars have flourished, and Justin Quinn shows that writers are also creating a new idiom in English that is not fixed to a particular locale or community. While sentences may become simpler, the vocabulary range narrower, and rich cultural references lost, Quinn reveals how much this new form of writing gains. He explores the work of a wide range of authors, including Daisy Hildyard, Kim Stanley Robinson, Bryan Washington, Yiyun Li, and Terrance Hayes.Literature in the Age of Lingua Franca English: The Zero Style is an innovative and illuminating resource for students and ...

This book aims to provide a historical account of the All-India Progressive Writers? Association (AIPWA). In a structured narrative, it focuses on the political processes inside India, events and circumstances in South Asia and the debates and literary movements in Europe and the United States to demonstrate how the literary project was specifically informed by literary-political movements. It explores the theorisation of literature and politics that informed progressive writing and argues that the progressive conception of literature, art and politics was closer to the theorisation of two thinkers of whom the writers themselves knew very little ? Leon Trotsky and Antonio Gramsci.

Do our physical bodies really matter in corporate worship? Isn''t our soul the most important part of us? Aren''t our bodies, at best, negligible to worship and, at worst, a hindrance? The answer to this last question is categorically no, as Christians have attested throughout history and across the global church. The purpose of the body instead is to offer to God in worship what only it can offer--and what must be offered to God.By drawing on the wisdom of the Bible, church history, and theology, and by taking advantage of the unique insights of the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual formation, a respected theologian and pastor argues in this book that there is something for our physical bodies to do that decisively forms Christlikeness in us within the context of corporate worship. What we do with our postures, gestures, and movements in worship matters. How our senses of sight, scent, sound, taste, and touch are involved in worship matters. How our spontaneous and prescriptive activities form us in worship matters. All of it matters to faithful and fulsome worship for the sake of a body that is fully alive in the praise of God.

Examining how economic change influences religion, and the way literature mediates that influence, this book provides a thorough reassessment of modern American culture. Focusing on the period 1840-1940, the author shows how the development of capitalism reshaped American Protestantism and addresses the necessary role of literature in that process.Arguing that the “spirit of capitalism” was not fostered by traditional Puritanism, Ball explores the ways that Christianity was transformed by the market and industrial revolutions. This book refutes the long-held secularization thesis by showing that modernity was a time when new forms of the sacred proliferated, and that this religious flourishing was essential to the production of American culture.Ball draws from the work of Émile Durkheim and cultural sociology to interpret modern social upheavals like religious awakenings, revivalism, and the labor movement. Examining work from writers like Rebecca Harding Davis, Jack London, and Countee Cullen, he shows how concepts of salvation fundamentally intersect with matters of race, gender, and class, and proposes a theory that explains the enchantment of modern American society.
