pytlaci textu henry jenkins

Obraz diváků televizních seriálů a dalších pořadů jako pasivních konzumentů je zakořeněný i dnes, v éře internetových televizí, streamování a obsahu dostupného kdykoli na přání . V době, kdy americký kulturní a mediální teoretik Henry Jenkins psal svou knihu Pytláci textů (1992), však byla tato charakteristika přijímána takřka bez výhrad i odborníky z oblasti mediálních studií. Jenkins svůj odborný zájem soustředil na jednu specifickou skupinu diváků, fanoušky, a podrobně analyzoval jejich sociální praktiky a kulturní produkci, díky čemuž se mu podařilo dobově převažující přesvědčení o pasivitě seriálových diváků zásadním způsobem problematizovat. Henry Jenkins se ovšem v Pytlácích textů neopevňuje jen v pozici distancovaného akademika, ale píše zároveň i jako dlouholetý fanoušek aktivně zapojený do komunitních aktivit. Tato jeho dvojdomost, která je v textu neustále reflektovaná, mu přínosně umožnuje odložit do té doby obvyklý znevažující tón a ponořit se bez zlehčování do fascinujícího světa fanoušků. Základním pozorováním, z nějž Jenkins ve svých analýzách vychází, je to, že fanoušci filmy, seriály a další žánry nejen konzumují, ale také je dále přetvářejí, navazují na ně a přepisují je. A ne vždy souhlasně: nezřídka se jejich texty vymezují proti pojetí narativů a postav, jak je koncipovali jejich původní autoři. Výtvory komerční masové kultury se tedy pro fanoušky stávají materiálem jejich vlastní, značně nezávislé tvorby. V jednotlivých kapitolách knihy se Jenkins soustředí na kritické aktivity komunity fanoušků, na utváření jejich kánonů, hodnocení a interpretací. Především se však věnuje konkrétním výtvorům: povídkám a románům včetně kontroverzního žánru slash fiction (erotické nebo pornografické příběhy o mužských hrdinech seriálů Star Trek či Profesionálové), videím důmyslně remixujícím materiál odvysílaných seriálů a také pozoruhodnému žánru filkové hudby. To vše v kontextu etnografie sociálních praktik fanouškovské komunity, od společného sledování seriálů přes výměnu nahraných videokazet po fanouškovské srazy (cony) nejrůznějšího typu a rozsahu. Jenkinsova klasická práce tak nabízí jedinečný raný pohled na dnes všeprostupující kulturu participace, jež se i prostřednictvím sociálních sítí stala jedním z nejvýraznějších atributů dnešních dní. Český překlad byl pořízen z anglického vydání, které vyšlo u příležitosti dvaceti let od prvního publikování knihy. Je doplněn obsáhlým rozhovorem s autorem, v němž Henry Jenkins reflektuje jak svou někdejší badatelskou metodu, tak posuny, k nimž ve fanouškovské praxi i v její odborné reflexi za poslední dvě dekády došlo.

Explores iconic works from The Cat in the Hat to The Twilight Zone to explain cultural trends in parenting and how we conceptualize childhood The 60s produced a Baby Boom generation that catalyzed the dawn of a new eraâ ”the space age, the age of television, the global age, and the beginnings of civil rights. At the same time, a new paradigm for parenting was unfolding that put emphasis on permissiveness, defined by what it permitted â “ the free and unfettered impulses of children. Others worried that the wildness of children, personified by the characters in Maurice Sendak s 1963 classic children s book, Where the Wild Things Are, was destructive, disruptive and disrespectful. Where the Wild Things Were centers on the exploding, contentious national conversation about the nature of childhood and parenting in the postwar US emblematized by Dr. Spock s Baby and Child Care. Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period s fictionsâ ”in film, television, comics, children s books, and elsewhereâ ”produced for and consumed by children. In particular, Jenkins demonstrates, the era s emblematic child was the boy in the striped shirt: white, male, suburban, middle class, Christian, and above all, American. Weaving together intellectual histories and popular texts, Jenkins shows how boy protagonists became embodiments of permissive child rearing, as well as the social ideals and contradictions that permissiveness entailed. From Peanuts comic strips and TV specials to The Cat in the Hat, Dennis the Menace, and Jonny Quest, the book reveals how childhood and the stories about it became central to Cold War concerns with democracy, citizenship, globalization, the space race, science, race relations, gender, and sexuality. Written by a former boy in a striped shirt, Where the Wild Things Were explores iconic works, from Mary Poppins to Lost in Space, contextualizing them through a critical but respectful engagement with the core animating ideas of the permissive imagination.

V beskydském pohoří se odjakživa nemilosrdně křížily stezky hajných a pytláků. Co se tam na loveckých chodnících v minulosti vlastně všechno dělo a co se tam - samozřejmě mnohem moderněji - děje dodnes?Fakt je, že pytláci kazili hajným a lesníkům radost z nádherné přírody, vysokých stavů zvěře i pěkných úlovků. Hnáni velkou chudobou a někdy také obyčejnou loveckou vášní, loupili v lesích ostošest. Na strmých svazích horských hřebenů od vrcholu Smrku přes Kněhyni, Čertův mlýn až po Radhošť se psaly dramatické, neuvěřitelné příběhy. Pytláci terén dokonale znali, snadno a tiše přeběhli mezi stromy, protáhli se úvozem, prosmekli mladou smrčinou, a ty, hajný, můžeš být sebevíc ostražitý - chyť stín, chyť vítr! A když chytíš, jde často o život. Na obou stranách. Stateční hajní, věhlasní pytláci. Seznamte se s nimi.

Provocative, elegant, intriguing - Jenkins is a bold, imaginative writer, brilliant at challenging old assumptions and encouraging you to look at British architecture in a new light Rory StewartThe story of Britain is revealed through its buildings, and yet the language of architecture is a mystery to all but a few. In this enlightening history, spanning castles and cathedrals to factories and railway stations, Jenkins translates the hidden narratives infused in the facades we walk past every day.Britainâ ™s history has been formed by its politics, religion and society and these influences can be seen in the architectural styles that have shaped its landscape. From pre-Roman and the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution, Classical and Gothic styles surged and retreated from favour only to then be challenged by a new player: Modernism, a style that reflected the stunning technological advances of the second half of the twentieth century.In this narrative history, Simon Jenkins â “ the bestselling champion of our national heritage â “ introduces us to the singular, eccentric and sometimes rather ordinary characters who shaped Britain. Jenkins teaches readers to see the world anew, demystifying the elitist language of architecture so that we can all appreciate the buildings around us.

A groundbreaking reassessment of W. H. Audenâ ™s early life and poetry, shedding new light on his artistic development as well as on his shifting beliefs about political belonging in interwar England.W. H. Auden is a towering figure in modern literary history with a complex private self. Hannah Arendt wrote that he had â ˜the necessary secretiveness of the great poetâ ™. The Island lays bare for the first time some of the most telling â ˜secretsâ ™ of Audenâ ™s early poetry, his world, his emotional life, his values and the sources of his art.In a book that is an argument but also a story, Nicholas Jenkins gives compelling readings of iconic poems. He presents Auden in the inter-War years as both a visionary writer, creatively dependent on dreams and intuitions, and a traumatized poet, haunted by war and suffering, and shadowed by his outsider status as a privileged but queer man.The Island considers, as well, Audenâ ™s imaginative flirtations with a lyrical nationalism appealing to a poet who, for a while, felt his psyche was like a map of English culture. The narrative ends in Audenâ ™s disillusionment with these potent myths and beliefs and the time when he left â ˜the islandâ ™.Audenâ ™s preoccupations â “ with the vicissitudes of war and the problems of love, belonging and identity â “ are of their time but they still resonate profoundly today. â ˜A superb, deeply researched study of Audenâ ™s early work and identity. Jenkinsâ ™s understanding of young Auden as a poet shaped and haunted by the First World War â “ assimilating the influence of Wilfred Owen, Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, and W. H. R. Rivers â “ is convincing, original, and poignant. Fusing biography, cultural history, and literary criticism in innovative and elegant ways, The Island is a landmark publication in modernist studies.â ™Heather Clark, author of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plathâ ˜Nicholas Jenkins is one of our most perceptive and resourceful critics. In this wonderful study of the early Auden, he brings to bear history, biography, and an acute sense of the artistic moment to fashion for us a young genius who is conservative, bucolic, gay, a patriotic adherent of post-imperial Little England. Most people work backwards from a writerâ ™s ultimate reputation, but Jenkins gives us a new, unexpected image of a poet developing in the aftermath of World War I and the collapse of modernism.â ™Edmund White, author of The Humble Loverâ ˜The Island is a Copernican Revolution in Auden studies, a revelatory and often exciting book that presents a new and convincing account of Auden s early years. It explores, for the first time, the deep connections between the inner workings of his poems and the worlds of politics and economics. By bringing to light Auden s ambition to be a national poet, Jenkins transforms our understanding of not only Auden himself but all of modernist literature.â ™Edward Mendelson, author of Early Auden and Later Auden

From one of the country’s most respected religion reporters, a paradigm-shifting discussion of how the Religious Left is actually the moral compass that has long steered America’s political debates, including today.Since the ascendancy of the Religious Right in the 1970s, common wisdom holds that it is a coalition of fundamentalist powerbrokers who are the “moral majority,” setting the standard for conservative Christian values and working to preserve the status quo.But, as national religion reporter Jack Jenkins contends, the country is also driven by a vibrant, long-standing moral force from the left. Constituting an amorphous group of interfaith activists that goes by many names and takes many forms, this coalition has operated since America’s founding — praying, protesting, and marching for common goals that have moved society forward. Throughout our history, the Religious Left has embodied and championed the progressive values at the heart of American democracy—abolition, labor reform, civil rights, environmental preservation.Drawing on his years of reporting, Jenkins examines the re-emergence of progressive faith-based activism, detailing its origins and contrasting its goals with those of the Religious Right. Today’s rapidly expanding interfaith coalition — which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other faiths — has become a force within the larger “resistance” movement. Jenkins profiles Washington political insiders—including former White House staffers and faith outreach directors for the campaigns of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton—as well as a new generation of progressive faith leaders at the forefront today, including:Rev. William Barber II, leader of North Carolina’s Moral Mondays and co-chair of the nationwide Poor People’s campaignLinda Sarsour, co-chair of the Women’s MarchRev. Traci Blackmon, a pastor near Ferguson, Missouri who works to lift up black liberation efforts across the countrySister Simone Campbell, head of the Catholic social justice lobby and the “Nuns on the Bus” tour organizerNative American “water protectors” who demonstrated against the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing RockBishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishopAn exciting reevaluation of America’s moral center and an inspiring portrait of progressive faith-in-action, American Prophets will change the way we think about the intersection of politics and religion.

LONDON: a settlement founded by the Romans, occupied by the Saxons, conquered by the Danes and ruled by the Normans. This changeful place became a medieval maze of alleys and courtyards, later to be chequered with grand estates of Georgian splendour. It swelled with industry and became the centre of the largest empire in history. And having risen from the rubble of the Blitz, it is now one of the greatest cities in the world.From the prehistoric occupants of the Thames Valley to the preoccupied commuters of today, Simon Jenkins brings together the key events, individuals and trends in London s history to create a matchless portrait of the capital. He masterfully explains the battles that determined how London was conceived and built - and especially the perennial conflict between money and power.Based in part on his experiences of and involvement in the events that shaped the post-war city, and with his trademark colour and authority, Jenkins shows above all how London has taken shape over more than two thousand years. Fascinating for locals and visitors alike, this is narrative history at its finest, from the most ardent protector of our heritage.

A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK Simon Jenkins, as ever, writes with clarity and insight Times One of the liveliest commentators in Britain, always worth reading and pleasingly contrarian Jeremy Paxman, GuardianWho were the Celts? Were they a people, a civilisation, an empire, or a fiction of historical imagination? They flit as ghosts through Europe s ancient past, purported ancestors of the Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Cornish and Bretons.Yet they have never been identified with any one land, or with any one history or language.Simon Jenkins argues compellingly that the Celts is a misleading concept, bundling together quite distinct peoples. The word keltoi first appears in Greek, applied generally to aliens or barbarians - and theories of Celticism continue to fuel many of the prejudices and misconceptions that divide the British Isles to this day. Fascinating and increasingly relevant, who the Celts were - or weren t - goes to the heart of the ongoing argument over the future of a dis-United Kingdom.

Modern societies require energy systems to provide energy for cooking, heating, transport, and materials processing, as well as for electricity generation. Energy systems include the primary fuel, its conversion, and transport to the point of use. In many cases this primary fuel is still a fossil fuel, a one-use resource derived from a finite supply within our planet, causing considerable damage to the environment. After 300 years of increasing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, it is becoming ever clearer that the present energy systems need to change. In this Very Short Introduction Nick Jenkins explores our historic investment in the exploitation of fossil energy resources and their current importance, and discusses the implications of our increasing rate of energy use. He considers the widespread acceptance by scientists and policy makers that our energy systems must reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and looks forward to the radical changes in fuel technology that will be necessary to continue to provide energy supplies in a sustainable manner, and extend access across the developing world. Considering the impact of changing to an environmentally benign and low-carbon energy system, Jenkins also looks at future low-carbon energy systems which would use electricity from a variety of renewable energy sources, as well as the role of nuclear power in our energy use.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

The instant Sunday Times and Amazon charts bestseller I found myself in the Auschwitz stables, and I felt an ember of hope. If I could make myself useful, helping these horses, maybe I could stay alive. In the darkest moment of history, one child found the courage and strength to survive the unimaginable. This is Henry s true story.One hot, humid day in July, 1944, the Gestapo abducted fifteen-year-old Henry and his mother, forcing them onto cramped cattle cars in the Lódz Polish Ghetto. Like so many Jews before them, they had been selected to disappear - they were being sent to Auschwitz. Exhausted after hours of traveling, they finally emerged from the stifling, filth-ridden cattle car. Already devastated at having lost his father to starvation, Henry clutched his mother s frail hand, knowing she was all he had left in the world, and that he was the only one left to protect her. In a flash, he felt them being brutally torn apart. Crying out for her, his heart shuddered as he watched her disappear into a sea of other women. Henry knew that was the last time he would ever see her, and he felt like he had failed her. He was now completely alone in the world.Starving, and close to giving up all hope, Henry volunteered to work in the stables, responsible for breeding horses for the war effort. As he watched other prisoners leave and never return, Henry quickly realised these horses were his only lifeline - because every morning he was sent to the stables, was one more morning he escaped the gas chambers. Before long, caring for the horses became a passion, and their comfort and strength gave Henry a glimmer of life and hope in an ocean of death. Although with every second that passed, Henry knew if he became too weak or made one mistake, he would be mercilessly replaced...This is the heart-wrenching and inspirational true account of a courageous little German boy who, against all odds, after losing almost everything a human being can lose, survived to tell his story.This book was originally published as The Kindness of the Hangman.

The instant Sunday Times bestsellerThe UK’s bestselling medieval historian brings unforgettably to life the astonishing rise of Henry V, who survived rebellion, a near-fatal arrow wound and a lengthy and precarious princely apprenticeship to become England’s greatest warrior king. A historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist. ObserverHenry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months, and died at the age of just 35, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. The victor of Agincourt was a model king for his successors.Shakespeare’s version of Henry V saw his youthful folly redirected to sober statesmanship, and in the dark days of World War II, Henry’s victories in France were recounted in British propaganda. Churchill called Henry ‘a gleam of splendour in the dark, troubled story of medieval England’, while for one modern medievalist, Henry was, quite simply, ‘the greatest man who ever ruled England’. For Dan Jones, Henry is one of the most intriguing characters in all medieval history, but one of the hardest to pin down.He was a hardened, sometimes brutal, warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic, with a bookish temperament. He was a leader who made many mistakes, who misjudged his friends and family members, yet always seemed to triumph when it mattered. As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, put down rebellions and secured England’s borders; in foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more.Yet through his conquests in northern France, he sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity at home, in the form of the Wars of the Roses. Dan Jones’s life of Henry V provides unprecedented insight into the critical first 26 years of his life before he became king. Both a standalone biography and a completion of Dan’s sequence of English medieval histories that began with The Plantagenets and The Hollow Crown, Henry V is a thrilling and unmissable life of England’s greatest king from our best-selling medieval historian.

Set in South London during the 1970s, Becoming Henry is a sharply observed, big-hearted and brilliantly funny coming-of-age novel. Henry has grand ideas and even grander ambitions. He longs to be recognised - by his family, his peers, and the world - as the comic genius he believes himself to be. Told with emotional precision and wry humour, the story traces Henry s life from his earliest memories in a conventional, emotionally constrained household to the brink of adulthood. Raised in a family where tenderness is elusive and communication often tips into absurdity, Henry finds early refuge in his imagination, music, and books. Adolescence brings contradictions: Henry s idealised sense of himself clashes with a desperate need for connection - particularly romantic or sexual. As he enters his teens, his desire to be desired, combined with a fear of not being enough, results in a phase of anorexia and self-effacement. He lurches from one misjudged crush to another, suffering social humiliations, but also forming deep bonds with other misfit boys who share his anarchic sense of humour. With wit, psychological insight and finesse, the novel explores themes of identity, aspiration, class, and masculinity. It captures the ache of wanting to belong while needing to be seen as different - the longing to be both accepted and exceptional - and the lengths one boy will go to in order to matter. Blending the depth of literary fiction with the accessibility of great storytelling, Becoming Henry is a poignant, funny, and unforgettable portrait of growing up on the fringes.
