love expanded wren burke

A boundary-pushing book on love and relationships in all its forms, showing exactly what we can all learn from the asexual community.Love Expanded is not a book about suffering, though the challenges queer people face are everywhere and real. Quietly radical, it is a guide for what non-traditional relationships can look like in all their myriad forms, and a source of advice from aromantic and asexual people on how to form them. It s about opening up opportunities for expanded love, for everyone. It s for the sake of single people struggling to own a home, for those who feel that friendship is less prominent in their lives than they would like; for people who want more social support for lives lived happily single. It s about new languages for consent for better, clearer communication; it s about different approaches to dating that focus less on seeking instant chemistry and more on building friendships. It s about a-spec joy.In Love Expanded, Wren places the focus on the power and importance of platonic love and relationships, and gives a new perspective to how we all relate to each other, offering hope and solace and joy to so many people who may not feel that they belong in our society s conventional frameworks for relationships, whether they are aroace or not.

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.

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

In his most autobiographical novel to date, James Lee Burke continues the epic Holland family saga with a writer grieving the death of his daughter while battling earthly and supernatural outlaws.Novelist Aaron Holland Broussard is shattered when his daughter Fannie Mae dies suddenly. 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. That is, until the ghost of Fannie Mae shows up, guiding her father through a tangled web of the present and past and helping him vanquish his foes from both this world and the next. Drawn from James Lee Burke’s own life experiences, Every Cloak Rolled in Blood is a devastating exploration of the nature of good and evil and a deeply moving story about the power of love and family.

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.

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.

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.

An epic history of the birth of news in EuropeNews moves. It is a battle, a scandal, a disaster. It is a letter, a newspaper, a proclamation.News is a material thing, but also something between us, something we take into us and feel. This book tells the story of news from the sunset of the Middle Ages to the rise of mass media in modern times. It begins in Renaissance Italy, with the envoys and merchants who drew in and disseminated news across Europe, establishing its channels and conventions.Following the beat of news around the continent, it uncovers a vast, invisible network traversing the boundaries of geography and politics, religion and language. Joad Raymond Wren allows the reader to see news – of the battle of Lepanto, the siege of Vienna – spreading around this network in real time. Dispelling the tenacious myth that news was until the printing press scarce and unreliable, and until the telegraph slow and provincial, he opens up windows onto a world buzzing with news from faraway.News brought the distant closer, and provided the means for Europe to know itself. The continent was, for a time, held together by that most essential of human acts: communication.

The Mindfulness Habit provides an 8-week, peer reviewed mindfulness course alternating with chapters that tackle practical workplace challenges in a relatable and compassionate way. Topics include working with uncertainty and insecurity; stress and burnout; anxiety; switching off from work, and how to deal with difficult communications. You will also discover how mindfulness can support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. I canâ ™t â ˜doâ ™ mindfulness. My mind is too busy, I canâ ™t sit still, I just donâ ™t have the TIME! The reasons you think you canâ ™t, are the same reasons why you should give mindfulness a go. Lisa Wren specialises in teaching people who are seriously busy, overwhelmed, stressed out, or in full-on meltdown because life is rushing past at a ridiculous pace. People who like to learn and progress, who value career and life, but who canâ ™t seem to ever catch-up, or get on top of things....or who yearn for just 5 minutes of peace (is that too much to ask?!). Mindfulness can help because your mind is busy, because your body is agitated, and because you donâ ™t have time. In fact, you donâ ™t need to find much time at all â “ no longer than the time it has taken you to read this paragraph. The insights and information shared in The Mindfulness Habit can make a meaningful difference to how you feel.
