Modernisté (978-80-257-2193-3)

Kniha - autor Martin Hilský, 304 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Modernisté pojednávají o čtyřech klíčových osobnostech moderní anglické literatury: o T. S. Eliotovi, Jamesi Joyceovi, Virginii Woolfové a D. H. Lawrenceovi. Ve čtveřici zasvěcených esejí ukazuje Martin Hilský, co jednotliví autoři znamenali pro soudobý britský i světový literární kontext, jakým způsobem se vymezovali vůči existující literární tradici a jak ji naopak rozvíjeli, a především: čím si stále získávají pozornost náročných čtenářů. Hilského výklad v sobě přitom spojuje hlubokou vědeckou znalost tématu se stylistickou lehkostí a esejistickým švihem, který je v českém psaní o literatuře ojedinělý. Když Modernisté vyšli poprvé, v roce 1995, vzbudili nefalšované kritické i čtenářské nadšení a jejich náklad byl brzy rozebrán. Naše druhé, revidované vydání ukazuje, že kniha Martina Hilského dodnes neztratila nic ze svého kouzla, že dodnes dokáže čtenářsky uchvátit i intelektuálně...

After Modernist Painting - Craig Staff

This book presents both a historical survey and a critical re-evaluation of the contested and contingent nature of the medium of painting over the last 60 years. Offering a critical account of painting specifically, rather than art more generally, After Modernist Painting provides a timely exploration of what has remained a persistent and protean medium.Taking Clement Greenberg''s “Modernist Painting” as its starting point, the book focuses on certain developments, including the relationship of painting to Conceptual Art and Minimalism, the pronouncement of painting’s alleged death, its response to Installation Art''s foregrounding of site, how painting both images and imagines the digital and how it continues to embody a particular set of ideas and responses to the world.Revised and expanded to reflect developments in the field since the first edition was published in 2013, After Modernist Painting addresses a range of global artists and painting practices – from the Dansaekhwa art movement in South Korea to the Conceptualism of Geta Bratescu in 1970s Romania. Essential reading for students on fine arts painting courses, the book is an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the themes and issues that have pertained to painting within the context of postmodernism and contemporary artistic ...

Theorists of the Modernist Novel - Deborah Parsons

Tracing the developing modernist aesthetic in the thought and writings of James Joyce, Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf, Deborah Parsons considers the cultural, social and personal influences upon the three writers. Exploring the connections between their theories, Parsons pays particular attention to their work on:forms of realism characters and consciousness gender and the novel time and history. An understanding of these three thinkers is fundamental to a grasp on modernism, making this an indispensable guide for students of modernist thought. It is also essential reading for those who wish to understand debates about the genre of the novel or the nature of literary expression, which were given a new impetus by the pioneering figures of Joyce, Richardson and Woolf.

Modernist War Poetry - Jamie Woodcock

This study examines the work of the principle architects of Anglo-American modernist poetics – T.S. Eliot, H.D., Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Edward Thomas and Wallace Stevens – and their response to the challenge of combatant war poetries. It argues that these civilian poets sought to negotiate directly with the combatant’s gnosticism, specifically with the combatant’s assertion that only those present at a catastrophe could properly represent its horrors. The modernists rightly identified that gnosticism was a threat to their own representational claims on an increasingly traumatic modernity. How was the imagination to be salvaged in order that it could still feel into the wounded experience of others? In response to this challenge, the modernists drafted their own imagined war poems, developing in the process several different and contradictory poetic systems. Whereas scholarship ordinarily tells the story of intra-war modern poetry as a series of different schools – the trench lyric, the home front elegy and the modernist long poem – each moving in a different direction, this study brings those traditions back together into one history by treating them as idiosyncratic responses to the same aesthetic problem.

Modernisté - jejich fascinující životy - Sue Roe

Když mladý Pablo Picasso dorazil roku 1900 poprvé do Paříže, nejprogresivnější mladí umělci žili a tvořili v bohémské čtvrti Montmartre na kopci pod starými větrnými mlýny. V následujícím desetiletí, mezi ateliéry, salony, kavárnami, tanečními sály a galeriemi Montmartru, se mladý Španěl připojil k osobnostem jako Henri Matisse, André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, Georges Braque a mnoha dalším, aby společně zcela proměnili podobu tehdejšího uměleckého světa.Sue Roe mistrně spojuje precizní historický výzkum s poutavým vyprávěním a vytváří jedinečný portrét mužů a žen, kteří zásadně ovlivnili vývoj malířství, sochařství, tance, hudby, literatury i módy. Popisuje počátky hnutí jako fauvismus, kubismus a futurismus a odhaluje příběhy, které stojí za nesmrtelnými díly Picassa a Matisse. Ukazuje, jak každodenní život na Montmartru – kde se umělci setkávali s akrobaty, tanečnicemi, prostitutkami i klauny – vytvářel živnou půdu pro umělecké experimenty a dával vzniknout přátelstvím i sporům, z nichž vzešla některá z nejzásadnějších děl 20. století.Kniha Modernisté – jejich fascinující životy nabízí strhující pohled na výjimečnou skupinu umělců na prahu slávy a nesmrtelnosti a oživuje jedno z klíčových období v dějinách moderního umění.

The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical nerds, The Map Men!Mark and Jay – also known as The Map Men – are an online sensation, whose irreverent and hilarious videos have charmed and captivated millions around the world. Now they bring you their debut book, all about the world’s worst maps. Some are decades old, some are centuries old, and some are so recent they’re still being published today (or yesterday, if you’re reading this tomorrow).They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you’re an avid map junkie or simply ‘map-curious’, each chapter uncovers a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour – as they attempt to answer the question: ‘What on earth happened here?’So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps.Because the worst maps are the best maps.

A Map of the Invisible - Jon Butterworth

A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR''A magnificent, compelling and insightful voyage to the frontier of knowledge from a great writer with a deep understanding.'' Brian CoxWhat is the universe really made of? How do we know? Follow the map of the invisible to find out...Over the last sixty years, scientists around the world have worked together to explore the fundamental constituents of matter, and the forces that govern their behaviour. The result, so far, is the ‘Standard Model’ of elementary particles: a theoretical map of the basic building blocks of the universe. With the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, the map as we know it was completed, but also extended into strange new territory.A Map of the Invisible is an explorer’s guide to the Standard Model and the extraordinary realms of particle physics. After shrinking us down to the size of a sub-atomic particle, pioneering physicist Jon Butterworth takes us on board his research vessel for a journey in search of atoms and quarks, electrons and neutrinos, and the forces that shape the universe. Step by step, discovery by discovery, we journey into the world of the unseen, from the atom to black holes and dark matter, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

It was not until 1829, when a Yorkshire aristocrat recognised his genius, that he was returned to London in triumph: The Map That Changed the World is his story.''For a geologist, this is a must read'' Amazon Reviewer''It serves to lift a genius from academic semi-obscurity and to award him the acknowledgement he undoubtedly deserves'' Amazon Reviewer''Never realised how seminal this map was'' Amazon Reviewer

Studie dále analyzovala funkci a dynamiku alternativních veřejných prostorů, které v této části Liberce neformálně vznikají. Autoři navrhli novou metodiku výuky na základní škole, která pomáhá dětem najít kladný vztah k veřejnému prostoru a k jeho hodnotám. Závěrečnou kapitolu tvoří architektonické návrhy studentů Fakulty umění a architektury Technické univerzity v Liberci, které utvářejí veřejný prostor jak podle výzkumu v terénu, tak i podle teoretického zhodnocení výsledků výzkumu.
