"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) ...

"Obrazy jsou jména toho, co nedokážeme pojmenovat," říká Miroslav Petříček, filosof, pedagog a překladatel, který se zabývá reflexí vizuálního umění už několik desetiletí. Své postřehy shrnul mimo jiné v knize Myšlení obrazem. Průvodce současným filosofickým myšlením pro středně nepokročilé (2009), která se stala předobrazem výstavy v Galerii hlavního města Prahy (2023). Hlavní ideou výstavy i její doprovodné publikace se stal předpoklad, že setkání s obrazem je především vizuální událostí. Záměrem je ukázat, že jazyky slov a obrazů jsou si blízké, ale jejich materiál je odlišný: obraz či výraz nelze jednoduše překládat do pojmů. Obraz nic nepředvádí, nýbrž cosi způsobuje. Není jen ilustrací ani vizuálním zprostředkováním myšlenky, nýbrž specifickým způsobem, jak podnítit myšlení - myslet namalované. Myšlení obrazem je pak odpovědí na setkání s vizuální událostí. Pětice autorů (Miroslav Petříček, Jitka Hlaváčková, Milena Bartlová, Jiří Přibáň a Václav Janoščík) v dialogu s díly více než čtyřiceti výtvarných umělců představila své postoje k jazyku vizuálního umění, jeho historii i žhavé současnosti balancující na hranici reálných a digitálně manipulovaných smyslových vjemů. Společně s autorskou dokumentací fotografa Jiřího Thýna provádí čtenáře labyrintem vizuálních událostí od abstraktního smyslového vjemu přes hledání tvaru a pojmu až po konstruování ideje: od tajemných hranic chaosu a řádu nebo ...

Do you want to encourage purposeful talk between students in your classroom, but feel you do not have the time or the permission? Do you wish you had more opportunity to listen to your students and include discussion of pressing and controversial issues in their lives and society today in your curriculum? Amidst rising recognition of how being articulate improves life chances, this book takes a look at these questions, outlining an alternative approach to curriculum and pedagogy.Bringing Talk to Life is firmly grounded in classroom experience and research evidence, and explores how a dialogic approach to teaching can improve students’ confidence and agency and restore teachers’ professional judgement. It outlines the social and linguistic barriers some students find in accessing knowledge through the school curriculum and identifies ways that teachers can help them become more confident and articulate by modelling different behavioural norms and introducing concept vocabulary in an accessible way.Using transcripts of classroom dialogues, teachers’ plans and examples of students’ work, chapters show by contrast that a talk-focussed, enquiry curriculum can free up teachers and pupils to explore ideas together, reigniting curiosity. Examples of this dialogic approach come from primary classrooms where Philosophy for Children (P4C) is adapted ... Unknown localization key: "more"

"Deep down in his heart the genuine Englishman has a rugged distaste for seeing his country invaded by a foreign army. People were asking themselves by what right these aliens had overrun British soil. An ever-growing feeling of annoyance had begun to lay hold of the nation.”Clarence Chugwater is not a Boy Scout for nothing. It is summer 1909 and everyone is too interested in the Test Match to notice that England has been invaded by the Germans. And the Russians. And the Chinese. Not to mention a ‘boisterous band of the Young Turks’, a mad Mullah, and a brace of North African pirates. The government has recently abolished the army so there is nothing to be done about it anyway, except give a masterly display of polite indifference.

The first edition of In the Shadow of the Ancestors (2007) was the first and only summary of decades of archaeological research in the Oman Peninsula. This second expanded had a long and winding journey toward publication. The passing away of Serge Cleuziou not long after the release of the first edition left Maurizio Tosi alone in completing this challenging enterprise. For this reason, and out of respect for his lifelong friend and colleague, he decided not to intervene too extensively on the main contents, but to add instead to the original eleven chapters a number of new ‘windows’ written by other scholars, in order to include more recent research and interpretations. In addition to the main contents, the new contributions by this younger generation of scholars, most of whom were students and collaborators of Cleuziou and Tosi, offers great testament to the legacy the authors leave behind them.

Svazek autorsky navazuje na předchozí díl. V první části líčí důsledky husitské revoluce a v širokých evropských souvislostech přibližuje dramatické pokračování husitského zápasu, vedeného Jiřím Poděbradským. Pozornost přitom zaměřuje jak na kališnickou, tak na katolickou složku obyvatelstva korunních zemí. Druhá část se zabývá vznikem a prvním obdobím existence českého stavovského státu až do nástupu Habsburků s důrazem na dílo poválečné hospodářské obnovy i na politické soupeření mezi královskými městy a šlechtou. Ucelené kapitoly jsou věnovány kultuře doby husitské, počátkům humanismu a náboženskému životu. Problematiku dějin umění „dlouhého“ 15. století objevně zpracovala Milena Bartlová.

V knize Jiřího Přibáně nalezneme tematicky uspořádané eseje, které autor publikoval v průběhu posledního desetiletí. Jeden z esejů dal název celému výboru. Sázku na svobodu můžeme vnímat podobně, jako dáváme v sázku vše to, na čem nám nejvíce záleží, včetně našich životů. V sázce nelze nikdy předem se vším kalkulovat a navzdory všem plánům a strategiím jí vládne nahodilost. Kniha se zabývá i touto nahodilostí a její funkcí v moderní společnosti. Čím víc si tuto základní sociální zkušenost dnešní člověk uvědomuje, tím víc se paradoxně snaží vytvořit ve společnosti pevné body, které si označuje za stálé a neměnné hodnoty. Přibáň kritizuje morální fundamentalismus, který zapaluje vášně vedoucí k politickému násilí a společenské destrukci. Současně však odmítá morální relativismus nebo cynismus a do protikladu k absolutismu morálky klade možnost etického života jako toho, co naši existenci sice uvádí v sázku, ale současně jí dává smysl. Etiku vnímá jako obranu proti každému absolutismu a totalitarismu, ke kterému svádějí moralisté.V knize se autor vrací k českým autorům, kteří hluboce poznamenali jeho myšlení i psaní, tedy Kunderovi, Bělohradskému, Havlovi, Pithartovi a Grušovi, v dalších esejích se věnuje evropskému vývoji v posledních deseti letech, až po ruskou invazi na Ukrajinu, i obecnějším tématům a tomu, ...

Although this artistic drive ran parallel to revolutionary changes in Central and Eastern Europe, it would be grossly simplistic and misleading to view Czech postmodernism as a by-product of the disintegration of Communist regimes and exposure to the effects of West European culture. In fact, the story of Czech postmodernism is unique evidence that, in diverse social and political contexts, artists ultimately address issues of a general nature beyond politics and ideology. Kniha je souborem esejů o výtvarném umění české postmoderny a jeho filozofickém, společenském a historickém kontextu. Autor chápe výtvarné umění jako svrchovanou formu symbolického vyjadřování, v němž se projevují originální filosofické myšlenky nebo duchovní prožitky, politické názory a kulturní paměť, ale i hravost nebo nespoutaná imaginace vynálezců a kutilů. Jednotlivé eseje se zamýšlejí nad dílem Tomáše Císařovského, Jiřího Davida, Stanislava Diviše, Jana Merty, Petra Nikla, Petra Písaříka, Antonína Střížka a Jiřího Surůvky. Knihu doprovázejí ilustrace Karla Štědrého. Obsahuje 50 barevných reprodukcí.

Nakladatelství Arbor vitae vydalo monografickou publikaci Petra Nikla, představující více jak dvě desetiletí jeho tvorby. Nedílnou součástí knihy je autorský text umělce. Tématem času v Niklově díle se v knize zabývají Radek Wohlmuth a Jiří Přibáň. Specifickou grafickou úpravu knihy navrhla Adéla Svobodová. Vychází ve dvou jazykových verzích, česky a anglicky. Petr Nikl (*1960) je intermediální umělec s klasickými kořeny, který se svobodně a přesvědčivě vyjadřuje prostřednictvím tradičních výtvarných technik, ale i autorských knih, interaktivních projektů a improvizačních akcí na bázi performance, divadla a hudebních vystoupení. Svou schopností všechny projevy a techniky volně kombinovat a dále rozvíjet na principu hry, již vnímá jako kreativní prostředek k poznávání světa, je výjimečný a stylotvorný. Petr Nikl není umělcem velkých a přepjatých gest, nýbrž ničím neomezené imaginace. Jeho umění je do té míry iniciační, že dává zapomenout na realitu všedního dne a přináší schopnost vzepřít se času alespoň dočasným návratem někam, kde věci ještě dávaly jiný smysl, klacek představoval koně i loď a konec dne ohlašovala pohádka na dobrou noc. A právě fenomén času, jedno z Niklových klíčových témat, hraje také hlavní roli v této knize.

Dialog Karla Hvížďaly, novináře-zvědavce z Prahy, s Jiřím Přibáněm, právním filosofem z britského Cardiffu, nad uzlovými body naší historie, ku příležitosti 100. výročí republiky, v širokém teritoriálním i časovém kontextu od 9. do 21. století. Toto rozpětí umožnilo nahlédnout do minulosti a ptát se, proč a jak jsme v různých dobách vnímali a chápali naše dějiny a co to znamená pro naši přítomnost i budoucnost. S tímto hledáním je spojena i snaha zbavit se redukce dějin na projekční plátno našich frustrací. Autoři zvolili formu dialogu, ve kterém se snaží vrátit do veřejného prostoru otázky, které se většinou řeší jen na akademické půdě nebo kterým se vyhýbáme.

The events industry is a multi-million dollar fast-moving industry, ergo it is a key target for corruption. With multiple revenue sources, complex logistics, ,a strict deadline and the need for quick decision making, it is vital the organisers are fully aware of all ways and means events can leave themselves vulnerable. This new volume from William O’Toole , takes the reader through all the stages, identifying the ‘weak spots’ and opportunities, and advising how to identify and prevent corruption. His core thesis is that mega corruption is empowered and accepted when petty corruption abounds. Addressing the mega corruption of mega events, without minimising the smaller and highly distributed petty corruption, is less than a band aid. He believes preventing corruption in events is a matter of ethics from the ground up. Laws and compliance are necessary, but ultimately it depends on people, on trust and integrity.''The Dark Side of Events'' applies the advanced tools of risk management found in the International Standards ISO31010, 31000, 37001 to the prevention of corruption in events and includes a schema on how the text can be used as a training manual, teaching textbook and guide for events and event teams. The final chapter includes ... Unknown localization key: "more"

How did John F. Kennedy put a man on the moon in just under ten years?What can chess teach us about actionable insights?And why should you shake up a business at a time of great success?All of these questions have their answer in strategic thinking. But what is strategic thinking exactly? Are we born with it, or can we nurture it?As a distinct and important capability in leaders, strategic thinking is a remarkably poorly defined, little understood concept, confined to management courses and board meetings. But in The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking, world-renowned expert Michael Watkins shows leaders how they can benefit from it, as long as they have the tools to nurture it.Exploring the six specific mental disciplines that together constitute strategic thinking, each chapter shows how they can create value, and offers prescriptions on how to develop the strategic thinking mindset ourselves. Academically grounded but jargon-free, with real-world examples from all sectors and ages, The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking assesses our innate ability to think strategically, and helps us to cultivate it, leading to better decisions that get proven results.

The visual arts have long been held to have an intimate link with emotions. Despite this, the topic remains underexplored; when the expression of emotion is discussed, it is usually in relation to music.This volume corrects this lacuna and presents a variety of perspectives on the expression of emotion in the visual arts with contributions from both established and early career academics. There are chapters on the empathy theory of beauty; enaction and artistic expression; emotion and experimental psychology; a ‘persona’ theory of visual expression; and self-expression in portraiture. There are also chapters discussing the contributions to the topic by Susanne Langer and Richard Wollheim as well as a chapter comparing the work of R.G. Collingwood and Maurice Merleau-Ponty.The Expression of Emotion in the Visual Arts will be of interest to students and researchers in the philosophy of art and aesthetics, as well as those interested in conceptual issues in the visual arts.
