Kultura a anarchie - Matthew Arnold
Ačkoli Arnold rozvíjel ty myšlenkové postupy, které se již ustavily v jeho spisech o vzdělání, o roli kritiky a o studiu keltské literatury, eseje Kultury a anarchie se vyznačují rovněž počátkem něčeho nového. Zahájily řadu jeho zkoumání z šedesátých a sedmdesátých let 19. století o vzájemném vztahu náboženství a kultury a o vztahu mezi individuálním a sociálním záměrem v tomto kontextu. Po Kultuře a anarchii následovaly knihy St. Paul and Protestantism a Literature and Dogma. Mnohé z těch otázek, které si Arnold kladl v těchto třech důležitých dílech, nacházely trvalý ohlas u kritiků, kteří byli konfrontování s analogickým napětím mezi pluralismem a integrací. Diskuse o náboženských cílech byla v 19. století pro morální definici společnosti a státu zásadní, což už pro počátek století 20. přestalo platit. Přesto se však v posledním desetiletí náboženství vrátilo zpět po politické i kulturní agendy jak v globálním, tak v národním kontextu. Konkurující si náboženské vize světa a role jednotlivce v něm získaly obnovený význam. Vyvstávají nové otázky po náboženském vzdělání, o vztahu náboženské identity a pocitu občanství, o vztahu multikulturalismu a liberalismu, o výzvách mezikulturního porozumění. To vše byly problémy, s nimiž se Arnold potýkal před půldruhým stoletím…

Culture and Anarchy - Matthew Arnold
''The men of culture are the true apostles of equality.''Matthew Arnold''s famous series of essays, which were first published in book form under the title Culture and Anarchy in 1869, debate important questions about the nature of culture and society that are as relevant now as they have ever been. Arnold seeks to find out ''what culture really is, what good it can do, what is our own special need of it'' in an age of rapid social change and increasing mechanization. He contrasts culture, ''the study of perfection'', with anarchy, the mood of unrest and uncertainty that pervaded mid-Victorian England. How can individuals be educated, not indoctrinated, and what is the role of the state in disseminating ''sweetness and light''? This edition reproduces the original book version and enables readers to appreciate its immediate historical context as well as the reasons for its continued importance today, in the face of the challenges of multi-culturalism and post-modernism. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Culture and Anarchy and Other Selected Prose - Matthew Arnold
''One has often wondered whether upon the whole earth there is anything so unintelligent, so unapt to perceive how the world is really going, as an ordinary young Englishman of our upper class.''Poet, education reformer, social theorist and passionate critic of Victorian England, Matthew Arnold condemned an industrial society in ''bondage to machinery'' and argued instead that the wonder and joy of culture - in particular the ''sweetness and light'' of classical civilization - were essential to human life. The other pieces here, on literary criticism, schools, France, journalism and democracy, form a powerful call to arms from a writer who believed that the English needed to be taught not what to think, but how to think. Edited with an introduction by P. J. Keating.

''All you have is yourself, no words, no script in hand, no music to dance to, nothing to hide behind. It was just me – the pure expression of my desire.''Trish Arnold (1918-2017) was a pioneer in the field of movement.

The Promise - Arnold Dix
Arnold Dix became an unlikely hero when he promised to save forty-one men trapped after a tunnel collapse in the Himalayas. This is his unforgettable story. In rural Victoria, Arnold Dix is known to locals as a farmer and a part-time truck driver. But his name reached global recognition when he played a pivotal role in rescuing forty-one Indian workers trapped after a deadly tunnel collapse. What many don’t know is that Arnold is also a barrister, scientist, engineer – a ‘quirky’ Aussie bloke who proves that extraordinary courage can come from the most unexpected places. In vivid detail, Arnold recounts the unlikely rescue that transformed him into a global hero. He reflects on the extraordinary challenges he faced, culminating in his unwavering promise: `Forty-one men are coming home alive.’ But his incredible story goes far beyond this one remarkable event. Arnold’s compassion also led him to assist thousands of migrant workers in Qatar, and his journey took him from surviving politically motivated assassination attempts in Albania to working in the tunnels of Ground Zero after 9/11. His story is one of steadfast courage, filled with themes of adventure, sacrifice and selflessness. It’s a tale that explores what it truly ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Sinéad Gleeson Arnold Thomas Fanning had his first experience of depression during adolescence, following the death of his mother. Some ten years later, an up-and-coming playwright, he was overcome by mania and delusions. Thus began a terrible period in which he was often suicidal, increasingly disconnected from family and friends, sometimes in trouble with the law, and homeless in London.Drawing on his own memories, the recollections of people who knew him when he was at his worst, and medical and police records, Arnold Thomas Fanning has produced a beautifully written, devastatingly intense account of madness - and recovery, to the point where he has not had any serious illness for over a decade and has become an acclaimed playwright.

British Architecture - Arnold Dana
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring British Architecture: A Very Short Introduction presents an original and engaging overview of the architecture of the British Isles, from medieval times to the present day. Avoiding the traditional approach of a chronological survey of architects and architectural style, each chapter presents a thematic exploration of key aspects of British architecture that endure across time and still have relevance today. Arnold uses illustrated chapters to aid appreciation of the artistic and cultural significance of British architecture and how it operates as a barometer of social trends. Arnold also highlights the ways in which architecture can project national and regional identities.British architecture tells of the intrinsic nature of Britishness and is an important means of understanding Britain''s connection with the rest of the world. There is no doubt about the international significance of the work of recent and contemporary British architects. But Arnold also relates how a preoccupation with the past has been a constant theme in design thinking and practice. A thematic, historical understanding of British architecture in terms of its form and purpose explains much about the society and culture for which it was built.

A Theology of Matthew's Gospel - Michael J. Wilkins
A Theology of Matthew''s Gospel develops the perspective that Matthew wrote his Gospel to identify, defend, and proclaim Jesus Immanuel, "God with us," as the Davidic Messiah who fulfilled the OT expectations of humanity''s redemption. Matthew''s Gospel establishes Jesus''s identity as the heir to the promises of Israel''s throne through king David, and heir to the promises of blessing to all the nations through the patriarch Abraham (1:1). So, this first Gospel offers evangelistic hope in Jesus''s message of the gospel to Jews, contending that they should turn to Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah (Matt 11:2-6). But, strikingly, Matthew''s Gospel also offers evangelistic hope to Gentiles, emphasizing that salvation through Jesus Messiah is available to all the nations (28:19).The book emphasizes the three horizons that comprise Matthew''s gospel: history, theology, and literature. The first horizon focuses on Jesus''s historical ministry. Here Matthew provides for us a record of God''s activities in history in the arrival of Jesus Messiah and the kingdom of heaven. The second horizon develops Matthew''s theological perspective for his audience(s). Here we attempt to understand and isolate Matthew''s unique theological perspective of God''s activities in Jesus Messiah. This is a central focus, emphasizing Matthew''s theological perspective of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Shape of Matthew's Story - Francis J. Moloney
The Gospel of Matthew, like the other Gospels, is a story. The narrative nature of Matthew''s account of the life of Jesus unfolds as a plotted sequence of words and events, beginning with his birth and closing with his presence to the disciples as their risen Lord. The location of any single passage within the flow of the unfolding story is a major guide to understanding this Gospel. Matthew is best known for his account of the birth of Jesus (Matt 1—2); Peter''s recognition of Jesus as the Son of Man, the Son of God (16:13–20); and the final commission of all the disciples to preach the gospel to all nations (28:16–28). But where do these famous passages appear in the story? What preceded them and what follows? The first Gospel famously highlights five major discourses, during which only Jesus speaks. How do they contribute to Matthew''s story of the life of Jesus?The Shape of Matthew''s Story focuses upon the temporal and geographical flow of the unfolding narrative, and the interacting roles of the protagonists within it. It traces an early Christian storyteller''s single-minded presentation of God, Jesus Christ, the call to discipleship, and the Christian Church.Endorsements:"Throughout his long and ...

Anarchie a evidence: Esej o psaní a vidění (978-80-200-3039-9)
Kniha - autor Miroslav Olšovský, 268 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Moderní literatura spočívá na decentralizovaném psaní a nehierarchickém prezentování v původní nerozlišitelnosti událostí. Moderní literatura nezakládá dílo, ale proces psaní, který dílo rozkládá. Psaní je anarchie a pokračuje jako evidence toho, co chce být řečí sděleno, jako jisté setrvání sdělení v čase. Moderní umělecký jazyk se snaží událostem přiblížit až na hranici jejich reprezentace a ukázat je v jejich stávání se událostmi. Takový jazyk se stává jazykem pohybu, jazykem kinematografickým a evidentním. Psaní je „permanentní evidencí“, je clonou (Gombrowicz) i průhledem (Nabokov). Kniha pojednává o projevech psaní a vidění nejen v tvorbě Gombrowicze a Nabokova, ale také Babela, Becketta, Bělého, Čechova, Kafky, Pilňaka anebo Prousta.

Moderní literatura spočívá na decentralizovaném psaní a nehierarchickém prezentování v původní nerozlišitelnosti událostí. Moderní literatura nezakládá dílo, ale proces psaní, který dílo rozkládá. Psaní je anarchie a pokračuje jako evidence toho, co chce být řečí sděleno, jako jisté setrvání sdělení v čase. Moderní umělecký jazyk se snaží událostem přiblížit až na hranici jejich reprezentace a ukázat je v jejich stávání se událostmi. Takový jazyk se stává jazykem pohybu, jazykem kinematografickým a evidentním. Psaní je „permanentní evidencí“, je clonou (Gombrowicz) i průhledem (Nabokov). Kniha pojednává o projevech psaní a vidění nejen v tvorbě Gombrowicze a Nabokova, ale také Babela, Becketta, Bělého, Čechova, Kafky, Pilňaka anebo Prousta.

In his signature larger-than-life style, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Total Recall is a revealing self-portrait of his illustrious, controversial and truly unique life.

By the age of 21, he was living in Los Angeles and had been crowned Mr Universe. Within five years, he had learned English and become the greatest bodybuilder in the world.

Art History - Arnold Dana
Art history encompasses the study of the history and development of painting, sculpture and the other visual arts. In this Very Short Introduction, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the issues, debates, and artefacts that make up art history. Beginning with a consideration of what art history is, she explains what makes the subject distinctive from other fields of study, and also explores the emergence of social histories of art (such as Feminist Art History and Queer Art History). Using a wide range of images, she goes on to explore key aspects of the discipline including how we write, present, read, and look at art, and the impact this has on our understanding of art history. This second edition includes a new chapter on global art histories, considering how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles in art originated in western art and can obscure other critical approaches and artwork from non-western cultures. Arnold also discusses the relationship between art and history, and the ways in which art can tell a different history from the one narrated by texts. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion - Agnes Arnold-Forster
Agnes Arnold-Forster blends neuroscience and psychology with the history of medicine and emotions to explore the evolution of nostalgia from its first identification in seventeenth-century Switzerland (when it was held to be an illness that could, quite literally, kill you) to the present day (when it is co-opted by advertising agencies and politicians alike to sell us goods and policies). Nostalgia is a social and political emotion, vulnerable to misuse, and one that reflects the anxieties of the age. It is one of the many ways we communicate a desire for the past, dissatisfaction with the present and our visions for the future.Arnold-Forster’s fascinating history of this complex, slippery emotion is a lens through which to consider the changing pace of society, our collective feelings of regret, dislocation and belonging, the conditions of modern and contemporary work, and the politics of fear and anxiety. It is also a clear-eyed analysis of what we are doing now, how we feel about it and what we might want to change about the world we live in.

Globe - Catharine Arnold
The life of William Shakespeare, Britain''s greatest dramatist, was inextricably linked with the history of London. Together, the great writer and the great city came of age and confronted triumph and tragedy. Triumph came when Shakespeare''s company, the Chamberlain''s Men, opened the Globe playhouse on Bankside in 1599, under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I. Tragedy touched the lives of many of his contemporaries, from fellow playwright Christopher Marlowe to the disgraced Earl of Essex, while London struggled against the ever-present threat of riots, rebellions and outbreaks of plague. Globetakes its readers on a tour of London through Shakespeare''s life and work, as, in fascinating detail, Catharine Arnold tells how acting came of age. We learn about James Burbage, founder of the original Theatre in Shoreditch, who carried timbers across the Thames to build the Globe among the bear-gardens and brothels of Bankside, and of the terrible night in 1613 when the theatre caught fire during a performance of King Henry VIII. Rebuilt, the Globe continued to stand as a monument to Shakespeare''s genius until 1642 when it was destroyed on the orders of Oliver Cromwell. And finally we learn how 300 years later, Shakespeare''s Globe opened once more upon ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Affairs of Humanity - Catherine Arnold
A new look at the origins of humanitarian intervention  We are encouraged to empathize with the suffering of distant strangers every day, from ads for UNICEF to the outcry over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But where did this type of politics come from?  Historian and practicing barrister Catherine Arnold locates the religious origins of humanitarian politics in early eighteenth-century Britain and Europe. In the late seventeenth century, British politicians argued for “confessional interventionâ€â€”in other words, for interventions to protect Britain’s fellow Protestants in continental Europe. By the 1740s, however, a cadre of high-ranking British officials was advocating instead for a new form of “humanitarian intervention,†using natural law–inflected language to justify its claims. Between 1690 and 1745, British officials intervened diplomatically to protect not only Protestants in France, northwestern Italy, and the Holy Roman Empire, but also Jewish fugitives from Portugal, Catholic dissidents in France, and Jewish refugees in Bohemia.  Arnold shows that this new type of intervention was intended to stop states from torturing, imprisoning, or expelling their subjects and was justified with humanitarian arguments. British officials contended that state persecution—that is, using state authority to punish a subject only because of her religious beliefs—violated natural ... Unknown localization key: "more"
