The Stalin Plan for the Transformation of Nature, which was launched in the USSR in autumn of 1948, had a fundamental impact on the approach to postwar reconstruction and the reshaping of nature and the environment in Czechoslovakia. This publication outlines the main features of this ambitious plan, whose implementation in Czechoslovakia was entrusted to Rudolf Slánský and Josef Smrkovský. It examines the plan’s implementation and its institutional foundation and explores natural resource management in the context of Communist Czechoslovakia’s radical rejection of Malthusian theories. An investigation of the continuity and discontinuity between the interwar and postwar periods demonstrates the possibilities and limits of the Sovietization policies enacted by the new elites. It also reveals basic elements of continuity in the sciences and technology in an era that was seemingly hostile to continuity.

Ražba mince, jako základního platebního prostředku v rámci domácí i zahraniční směny, je v období raného středověku chápána jako jeden ze základních atributů státnosti. Otázkám spojeným se zahájením českého mincovnictví je věnována pozornost našich i zahraničních badatelů již bezmála 250 let. Hledání počátků ražby domácí mince připomíná detektivní příběh s množstvím indicií, ale jen s nepatrným množstvím přímých důkazů. Základním pramenem poznání nejen počátků českého mincovnictví, ale rovněž ekonomických procesů probíhajících v rámci širšího prostoru raně středověké střední Evropy, zůstávají, při nedostatku písemných pramenů, nálezy mincí. Ty jasně dokládají, že již před zaražením domácí mince byla v obchodním styku v Čechách využívána s rostoucí intenzitou mince cizí. V průběhu 9. století to byly denáry ražené v mincovnách karolínské říše, od počátku 10. století mince z bavorských mincoven. Jsou důkazem, že se Čechy postupně stávaly součástí širšího ekonomického prostoru západní Evropy. Je proto logické, že rostoucí moc přemyslovského státu a jeho politické a kulturní ukotvení vedly v určitém okamžiku vývoje k nutnosti zahájení ražby vlastní mince. Kniha Jiřího Lukase a Jana Videmana přináší nový pohled na užívání a funkci ražené mince v Čechách v průběhu 9. a 10. století a na základě prokazatelných skutečností odpovídá na otázky spojené se zaražením domácí ...

When a suicide terrorist strikes in Israel, the usual contingent of first responders that one might see anywhere in the world -- police, medics, firefighters -- are accompanied by another group, one found only in Israel. They wear yarmulkes, white coveralls, rubber gloves, and dayglo yellow vests. These are the men of ZAKA, an Israeli religious organization dedicated to dealing with the mutilated and scorched bodies and the severed limbs of the victims of violent death, mainly those killed by Palestinian terrorism.ZAKA arose, reached its peak, and gained fame during the two waves of suicide terrorism that characterized the intensification of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the last decade of the 20th century and the first five years of the twenty-first century. ZAKA has a few hundred all-male activists, typically volunteers, exclusively Haredi (ultra-orthodox) Jews. Well trained and equipped, they are among the first to arrive at the sites of unnatural death, especially the arenas of mass mortality, where they perform a scrupulous procedure, laden with symbolism. This involves collecting the corpses and body parts, sorting them, identifying them, and reassembling them while diligently preserving respect for the dead and for body parts, and preparing them for burial according to the ...

A history of how, in the mid-twentieth century, we came to believe in the concept of creativity. Named a best book of 2023 by the New Yorker and a notable book of 2023 by Behavioral Scientist.  Creativity is one of American society’s signature values, but the idea that there is such a thing as “creativity”—and that it can be cultivated—is surprisingly recent, entering our everyday speech in the 1950s. As Samuel W. Franklin reveals, postwar Americans created creativity, through campaigns to define and harness the power of the individual to meet the demands of American capitalism and life under the Cold War. Creativity was championed by a cluster of professionals—psychologists, engineers, and advertising people—as a cure for the conformity and alienation they feared was stifling American ingenuity. It was touted as a force of individualism and the human spirit, a new middle-class aspiration that suited the needs of corporate America and the spirit of anticommunism.  Amid increasingly rigid systems, creativity took on an air of romance; it was a more democratic quality than genius, but more rarified than mere intelligence.

What did it mean to be a Christian in the Roman Empire? In one of the inaugural titles of Oxford''s new Essentials in Biblical Studies series, Harry O. Maier considers the multilayered social contexts that shaped the authors and audiences of the New Testament. Beginning with the cosmos and the gods, Maier presents concentric realms of influence on the new religious movement of Christ-followers. The next is that of the empire itself and the sway the cult of the emperor held over believers of a single deity. Within the empire, early Christianity developed mostly in cities, the shape of which often influenced the form of belief. The family stood as the social unit in which daily expression of belief was most clearly on view and, finally, Maier examines the role of personal and individual adherence to the religion in the shaping of the Christian experience in the Roman world. In all of these various realms, concepts of sacrifice, belief, patronage, poverty, Jewishness, integration into city life, and the social constitution of identity are explored as important facets of early Christianity as a lived religion.

Despite its many crises, especially in Western Europe, there are 1.3 billion Catholics in the world today. The Church remains a powerful but controversial institution.In Losing a Kingdom, Gaining the World, Ambrogio A. Caiani explores the epic history of the Roman Catholic Church. Throughout the early modern period, the Pope was a secular prince in central Italy. Catholicism was not merely a religion but also a political force to be reckoned with.After the French Revolution, the Church retreated into a fortress of unreason and denounced almost every aspect of modern life. The Pope proclaimed his infallibility; the cult of the Virgin Mary and her apparitions became articles of faith; the Vatican refused all accommodation with the modern state, until a disastrous series of concordats with fascist states in the 1930s.These dark days threatened the very existence of the Church. But as Catholicism lost its temporal power, it made significant spiritual strides and expanded across continents. Between 1700 and 1903, it lost a kingdom but gained the world.Ambitious and authoritative, this is an account of the Church’s fraught encounter with modernity in all its forms: from liberalism, socialism and democracy, to science, literature and the rise of secular culture.

For fans of Bill Bryson and David Sedaris comes an anti-nature memoir that will resonate with anyone who would rather stay inside with a book than venture into the mountains, from one of Scandinavia’s biggest comedians.“A smart, funny and honest exposé of the cult of the outdoors, from the sublime to the ridiculous.”—Foreword ReviewsSometime around his forties, Are Kalvø starts losing his friends… to the mountains. Friends who used to meet him at the pub are now hiking and skiing every weekend, and when they do show up, all they talk about is feeling at one with nature (without a hint of irony). When Are realizes he’s the only person who hasn’t posted a selfie on a mountain, he starts to wonder: does he have it all wrong?To find out, Are buys some ridiculously expensive gear and heads into the woods. The result of his sardonic trek is at once a smart and funny take-down of outdoors culture, and a reluctant surrender to nature’s undeniable pull. An adventure, a comedy, and a tragedy, The Hiking Book from Hell is destined to become a nature writing (and nature hating) classic.

This Element examines how international heritage discourses are internalized and reshaped in China, using the Yellow Emperor cults as a lens to explore broader themes of intangible heritage, religious resurgence, and identity construction. The central argument is that cultural heritage serves as a powerful tool for shaping new religious expressions and enabling Chinese localities to assert their uniqueness while redefining historical narratives. Through case studies of several localities across China, this research illustrates how these regions engage in heritage competition by branding themselves with Yellow Emperor culture to shape their identities. This study argues that the cult of the Yellow Emperor-a legendary figure-is empowered by nationalism, a local search for tradition and religious revivals, and is further amplified by international discourses that reinforce national identity through heritage-making. Together, these forces drive the resurgence of ancestral cults and contribute to cultural identity formation in contemporary China.

Publikace Plánování socialistické vědy přináší rozsáhlou historickou studii a ucelenou edici dokumentu o československé vědě v období tzv. budování socialismu. Jedná se o archivně dochovaný soubor čtyř plánovacích studií k rozvoji biologických, chemických, technických a matematicko-fyzikálních věd, které byly v březnu 1960 jako neveřejný (tj. přísně tajný) materiál předloženy k projednání Ideologickému oddělení ÚV KSČ. Tyto dokumenty jednak hodnotily dosavadní vývoj a aktuální stav přírodních a technických věd v Československu, především však analyzovaly jejich další perspektivy, včetně vytyčení hlavních úkolů a návrhů opatření pro následující patnácti až dvacetileté období. Ačkoliv ve výsledné podobě nebyly tyto plánovací studie oficiálně přijaty, podávají díky svému komplexnímu přístupu zajímavé svědectví o postojích a strategiích tvůrců socialistické vědní politiky. Představují proto významný pramen pro studium dějin československé vědy ve druhé polovině 20. století. Kolektivní studie - jejímiž autory jsou historici vědy D. Olšáková, H. Durnová, T. Hermann, M. Hořejš a A. Míšková - zasazuje vydané dokumenty do širších souvislostí problematiky plánování vědy a zároveň nastiňuje situace jednotlivých vědních oblastí. Vykládá je na pozadí proměn dobové vědní politiky, vývoje centralizace a plánování ve vědě, sovětizace československé vědy či vztahu vědy a ideologie. Zabývá se rovněž autorstvím dokumentů a v neposlední řadě též samotným rozvojem či konceptuálními ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Významný český šlechtic a politik Lev Thun (1811-1888), pozdější dlouholetý rakouský ministr kultury a vyučování, udržoval s většími či menšími přestávkami přes dvacet let korespondenci s Alexisem de Tocqueville (1805-1859), největším francouzským politickým myslitelem 19. století. Námětem dopisů je nejen nástup demokracie v moderním světě, ale též tehdy tolik diskutovaná otázka reformy vězeňství, v níž se oba autoři významně angažovali, a v neposlední řadě i Thunova začínající politická kariéra. Nakladatelství OIKOYMENH připravilo zrcadlové, česko-francouzské vydání korespondence obou autorů, společně s komentovaným zrcadlovým, česko-německým vydáním Thunova návrhu vězeňské reformy z roku 1836 a s úvodní studií, v níž autorky zasazují témata korespondence do dobového kontextu. Přeložily a k vydání přípravily H. Fořtová a D. Olšáková.

Publikace přináší historii uherskobrodských sympozií, která se stala jedním z útočišť ne-li přímo svobodného bádání, tedy alespoň svobodného promýšlení význačných témat české historiografie v období posrpnové normalizace. Analýza okolností jejich vzniku a formování se zaměřuje především na vztah české historiografie a mocenské strategie její kontroly v letech 1948-1989. V první části této publikace se autoři věnují formování hlavních center a publikačních platforem komeniologického bádání v Československu v letech 1945-1989. Statě Doubravky Olšákové a Vladimíra Urbánka mapují vývoj české komeniologie v centru (Praze) i na periferii (Uherském Brodě), kde byl dohled oficiální moci, resp. oficiální historiografie, značně oslaben. Druhá část je věnována komparativnímu pohledu na způsob bádání o raném novověku ve středoevropském kontextu. Ze zahraničních autorů se zde nad postavením raně novověké historiografie zamýšlí Maciej Górny či Stanislaw Roszak, z českých pak Marie Koldinská. Poslední část přináší redigované rozhovory s organizátory i účastníky komeniologických sympozií v Uherském Brodě. Mezi ně patřili nejen komeniologové (Jiří Beneš, Martin Steiner, Marie Kyralová, Markéta Klosová, Marta Bečková, Vojtěch Balík), ale také filozofové (Jaroslava Pešková, Stanislav Sousedík) či historici. Stejně tak obsahuje tento svazek rozhovory k dějinám mimopražského komeniologického bádání, které jsou reflektovány především v rozhovorech se Svatoplukem Bimkou, Dagmar Hanelovou, Františkem Hýblem, Josefem Hapákem či ...

The Cult of the Dead Cow is the story of the oldest, most respected and most famous hacking group of all time. Its members invented the the concept of hacktivism, released both the top tool for cracking passwords and the reigning technique for controlling computers from afar, and spurred development of Snowden''s anonymity tool of choice. With its origins in the earliest days of the Internet, the cDc is full of oddball characters--spies, activists, musicians, and politicians--who are now woven into the top ranks of the American establishment. Today, this small group and their followers represent the best hope for making technology a force for good instead of for surveillance and oppression. Like a modern (and real) illuminati, cDc members have had the ears of presidents, secretaries of defense, and the CEO of Google. The Cult of the Dead Cow shows how we got into the mess we find ourselves in today, where governments and corporations hold immense power over individuals, and and how we are finally fighting back.

"Images are names for we cannot name,” says the philosopher, teacher, and translator Miroslav Petříček, who written on visual art for several decades. He has summarized his observations in, among other things, the book Thinking Through the Image: A Guide to Contemporary Philosophical Thought for the Non-Intermediate (2009), which formed the impulse for the 2023 exhibition at Prague City Gallery. The main idea behind the exhibition and its accompanying publication is was the presupposition that an encounter with an image is primarily a visual event. The aim is to emphasize that the languages of words and of images are closely related but that their material is different: an image or expression cannot be simply translated into words or concepts. An image does not show; it causes something. It is more than an illustration, nor is it a mere visual mediator of an idea; it is a specific way of inciting the mind to think of what has been painted. Thinking through the image is a response to the encounter with a visual event. By engaging in a dialogue with works by more than forty artists, the publication's five authors (Miroslav Petříček, Jitka Hlaváčková, Milena Bartlová, Jiří Přibáň, and Václav Janoščík) ...

This fierce fable of childbirth by German Surrealist Unica Zürn was written after she had already given birth to two children and undergone the self-induced abortion of another in Berlin in the 1950s. Beginning in the relatively straightforward, if disturbing, narrative of a young woman in a tower (with a bat in her hair and ravens for company) engaged in a psychic war with the parasitic son in her belly, The Trumpets of Jericho dissolves into a beautiful nightmare of hypnotic obsession and mythical language, stitched together with anagrams and private ruminations. Arguably Zürn''s most extreme experiment in prose, and never before translated into English, this novella dramatizes the frontiers of the body—its defensive walls as well as its cavities and thresholds—animating a harrowing and painfully, twistedly honest depiction of motherhood as a breakdown in the distinction between self and other, transposed into the language of darkest fairy tales.Unica Zürn (1916–70) was born in Grünewald, Germany. Toward the end of World War II, she discovered the realities of the Nazi concentration camps—a revelation which was to haunt and unsettle her for the rest of her life. After meeting Hans Bellmer in 1953, she followed him to Paris, where she became ... Unknown localization key: "more"
