When Comedy Goes Wrong - Christopher J. Gilbert

While conventional wisdom has it that humor embodies a spirit of renewal and humility, a dispirited form of comedy thrives in a media-saturated and politically charged environment. When Comedy Goes Wrong examines how, beginning in the late-twentieth and carrying into the early twenty-first century, a certain comic dispirit found various platforms for disheartening cultural politics. From the calculated follies on talk radio programs like the Rush Limbaugh Show through the charades of "cancel culture" and ultimately to so-called Alt-Right comedy, the transgressions, improprieties, and ego trips endemic to a newfangled comic freedom produced entirely unfunny ways of being. To understand these unfunny ways, Christopher J. Gilbert challenges the prevailing belief in humor's goodness, analyzing radio personalities, meme culture, films, civil unrest, and even the language of ordinary individuals and everyday speech, all to demonstrate what happens when humor becomes humorless. As such, Gilbert imagines a nuanced sense of humor for a tumultuous world. Ultimately, When Comedy Goes Wrong transcends partisanship to explore the uglier parts of American culture, imagining the stakes of doing comedy—and being comical—as a means of survival.

Running with Sherman - Christopher McDougall

When barefoot running guru Christopher McDougall takes in a neglected donkey, his aim is to get Sherman back to reasonable health. But Sherman is ill-tempered, obstinate and uncooperative - and it''s clear his poor treatment has made him deeply fearful of humans. Christopher knows that donkeys need a purpose - they are working, pack animals - and so when he learns of the sport of Burro Racing or running with donkeys, he sets out to give Sherman something worth living for.With the aid of Christopher''s menagerie on his farm in rural Pennsylvania, his wife Mika and their friends and neighbours including the local Amish population, Sherman begins to build trust in Christopher. To give him a purpose, they start to run together. But what Sherman gains in confidence and meaning is something we all need: a connection with nature, the outdoors, with movement. And as Christopher learns, the side benefits of exercise and animal contact are surprising, helping with mental and physical health in unexpected ways.

What If I'm Wrong? - Heather Thompson Day

Are you tired of living life scared or following the status quo? Heather Thompson Day challenges readers to remember what it felt like to believe in themselves before the world told them who they should be and what they should do.What If I’m Wrong? explores the chasm between our dreams we once had and the reality in which we are now living. Writing from personal experience, Heather Thompson Day dives deep into what makes us feel overwhelmed or defeated by the hopes we once had, the disappointments we should have overcome, the goals we expected to accomplish, and the person we wanted to be. Somehow and somewhere along the way, we stopped following our heart and started listening to the lies in our head: It’s time you gave up on that childish dream. What makes you think you could accomplish that? Others see who you really are, so stop trying to be someone else. So we decided to play it safe and just accept our lot in life. And instead of feeling alive every day, we walk through our days numb and uninspired. But this book will help readers see how: Pursuing a painless passion means you have an insignificant ...

Our Life on Ice - Christopher Dean, Jayne Torvill

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE ICE-SKATING DUO WHO BECAME THE NATION'S FAVOURITES - NOW THE SUBJECT OF A MAJOR ITV BIOPIC. When Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean collapsed to the ice at the climax of their routine to Bolero in the 1984 Winter Olympics, the judges could find no fault, awarding them 12 maximum scores of 6.0, while 24 million viewers watching at home in Britain simply looked on in amazement. Suddenly, we were all experts in figure skating, and we wanted to know more about the couple at the heart of it all. Despite intense interest in them, Torvill & Dean kept their lives private, with many still wondering if the pair were really a couple. They turned professional and would eventually spend eight years working on ITV's Dancing on Ice, but still much of their story remained unknown. Now, in Our Life on Ice, Torvill & Dean finally open up about the challenges they have faced and the pressures of life in the public eye: Jayne speaks candidly about her struggle with husband Phil to have children, while Chris reveals the heartache in his family story.

Congratulations Wolf! Everyone loves this amazing and beautiful book. It is a masterpiece.' - Gilbert & George ---------- The Meaning of the Earth offers a retrospective on the lives and work of the relentlessly controversial artists Gilbert & George, placing them within the context of twentieth-century British culture.

Rodina - Guy Gilbert

Další z řady knížek Guy Gilberta se zabývá tématem rodiny. Patří mezi ty nejnovější, takže reflektuje aktuální situaci pohledu na rodinu, jak ji podnítil svými projevy a iniciativami papež František. Gilbert se v tomto smyslu ukazuje jako ten, kdo přesně pochopil Františkovy důrazy a ohledy. Ačkoli je Gilbert sám z velmi tradiční rodiny (15 sourozenců), jsou jeho názory na rodinu a související témata prosyceny realismem a zkušeností toho, o jak komplikovanou věc jde. Gilbert prochází několika hlavními okruhy – otázkou partnerství dvou lidí, kteří by měli být základem rodiny; rodičovstvím a vztahem k dětem; rolí prarodičů v rodině; otázkou homosexuality a jejich soužití; problémem předávání víry v rodině. Ve všech oblastech se projevuje jeho moudrý nadhled a nekonvenční přímočarost. Varuje před unáhlenými svatbami za každou cenu, připouští přijímání eucharistie u některých rozvedených a znovu sezdaných, uznává společný život homosexuálních párů atd. Pro Gilberta je rodina pokladnicí, z níž je možné čerpat mnoho zásadní síly pro život, ale o kterou je třeba se také pečlivě starat. Aniž by zlehčoval emoční rozměr věci, klade důraz na společnou práci všech zúčastněných, na trpělivost, obětavost, velkorysost. Guy Gilbert je známý francouzský kněz a vychovatel delikventní mládeže.

Odpuštění - Guy Gilbert

Kniha známého kněze a vychovatele delikventní mládeže přibližuje mimořádné důležité téma odpuštění, které je nejkrásnější cestou ke svobodě. Gilbert skrze svou bohatou zkušenost s lidmi z okraje společnosti, zločinci či vězni nijak nebagatelizuje zlo a příkoří, která se lidem dějí. Přesto potvrzuje, že jen cesta odpuštění vede k vnitřní vyrovnanosti, pokoji a radosti. Právě křesťané jsou pro něj ti, kteří mají ve společnosti neustále realizovat obtížný pokyn odpouštět, a to i tam, kde je to zdánlivě nemožné. Gilbert ukazuje, kde hledat zdroj síly k odpuštění, jak odpouštět v rodině, ve vztazích, jaké nástroje nabízí ve svátostech církev. Jak píše: „Kristus nikdy neřekl svým katům: ‚Odpouštím vám‘, ale: ‚Otče, odpusť jim.‘ Jen tak je totiž možné najít sílu k odpuštění. Nejde totiž o skutek naší vůle, je to akt lásky, který nám může vdechnout jen sám Bůh.“Guy Gilbert je francouzský kněz, v Portále vyšla celá řada jeho úspěšných knih, naposledy např. Rodina, Čas žít nebo Víra. K dispozici také jako audiokniha v e-shopu slyš.to (mp3 ke stažení)

A Year with Gilbert White - Jenny Uglow

''Uglow makes us feel the life beyond the facts.'' GUARDIAN''Few can match Uglow''s skill at conjuring up a scene, or illuminating a character.'' SUNDAY TIMES''Uglow''s style is supremely elegant and often amusingly bathetic, her research exhaustive but lightly worn.'' FINANCIAL TIMESIn 1781, Gilbert White was a country curate, living in the Hampshire village he had known all his life. Fascinated by the fauna, flora and people around him, he kept journals for many years, and, at that time, was halfway to completing his path-breaking The Natural History of Selborne. No one had written like this before, with such close observation, humour, and sympathy: his spellbinding book has remained in print ever since, treasured by generations of readers. Jenny Uglow illuminates this quirky, warm-hearted man, ‘the father of ecology’, by following a single year in his Naturalist’s Journal. As his diary jumps from topic to topic, she accompanies Gilbert from frost to summer drought, from the migration of birds to the sex lives of snails and the coming of harvest.Fresh, alive and original – and packed with rich colour illustrations – A Year with Gilbert White invites us to see the natural world anew, with astonishment and wonder.

Literature’s Elsewheres - Annette Gilbert, Cadenza Academic Translations Team

An examination of a series of diverse, radical, and experimental international works from the 1950s to the present.What is a literary work? In Literature’s Elsewheres, Annette Gilbert tackles this question by deploying an extended concept of literature, examining a series of diverse, radical, experimental works from the 1950s to the present that occupy the liminal zone between art and literature. These works—by American Artist, Allison Parrish, Natalie Czech, Stephanie Syjuco, Fiona Banner, Elfriede Jelinek, Dan Graham, Robert Barry, George Brecht, and others—represent a pluralized literary practice that imagines a different literature emerging from its elsewheres.  Investigating a work’s coming into being—its transition from “text” to “work” as a social object and pragmatic category of literary communication—Gilbert probes the assumptions and foundations that underpin literature, including the ideologies and power structures that prop it up. She offers a snapshot from a period of recent literary and art history when such central concepts as originality and authorship were questioned and experimental literary practices ranged from concrete poetry and Oulipo to conceptual writing and appropriation literature. She examines works that are dematerialized, site-specific, unique copies of other works, and institutional critiques. Considering the inequalities, exclusions, and privileges inscribed in literature, she documents ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Štěstí - Guy Gilbert

Knížka známého duchovního autora je uvedena otázkou: „Co opravdu je pro člověka štěstí? Radost? Potěšení? Pocit bezpečí? Zdraví? Bohatství? Toto všechno dohromady?“ Guy Gilbert ukazuje podmínky, v nichž může každý dospět k pocitu štěstí, sděluje, jak otevírat srdce, nepožadovat nemožné, pěstovat pozitivní myšlení, vytvářet pouta s ostatními, žít současným okamžikem a nacházet drobné radosti právě v něm, umět se radovat z darů i z dávání a třeba i z obyčejného prožitku samoty v klidu uprostřed přírody. Jeho slova míří ke všem generacím – lidem středního věku, seniorům i mladým. Guy Gilbert je známý francouzský kněz a vychovatel delikventní mládeže. Z knih vydaných nakladatelstvím Portál jmenujme např. Bratr vyvržených, Evangelium svatého lotra, Srdce v ohni, Ať se ti život povede!, Partnerství nebo Tváří v tvář utrpení.

Samota - Guy Gilbert

Ve své nové knize se Guy Gilbert zamýšlí nad fenoménem samoty. Ta pro něj není omezena jen na fyzickou nepřítomnost jiných lidí v nejbližším okolí. Mluví i o pocitu osamělosti uprostřed davu, o vyloučení – ať už sociálním, nebo fyzickém, daném hendikepem –, o samotě starých lidí, o samotě po rozvodu nebo smrti blízkého člověka, o samotě chudých, cizinců či sebevrahů. Nabízí ovšem i cesty ze samoty skrze službu druhým, odpuštění, pokoru, sílu modlitby, a v neposlední řadě se obrací i na prarodiče, často trpící pocitem samoty, a ukazuje jim jejich výjimečný úkol v rámci rodiny a společnosti. Poslední kapitola je věnována tématu samoty kněží.Guy Gilbert je známý francouzský kněz a vychovatel delikventní mládeže. V Portále vyšla celá řada jeho knih, naposled např. Štěstí, Čas žít, Rodina, Víra, Odpuštění, Srdcem k srdci aj.

Antropologické struktury imaginárna - Gilbert Durand

Gilbert Durand, Bachelardův žák, koncipoval své Antropologické struktury imaginárna jako antropologické rozšíření výzkumů započatých v Psychoanalýze ohně. Jeho kniha chce být jakousi "zahradou" obrazů, uspořádanou na způsob Linného botaniky, inventářem uspořádaným okolo několika hlavních strukturálních schémat. Tento postup však dovádí čtenáře mnohem hlouběji: ústí do celkové teorie, jež vyvrací klasické pojetí obrazu, jaké rozvíjel Sartre, a překračuje teze Lacroze, Barthese a Malrieuho - jež všechny redukují imaginárno a podřizují jeho "pošetilost" nějaké formě rozumu. Svým zkoumáním toho, jak imaginárno "funguje", nás Gilbert Durand staví do srdce polemik vyvolaných strukturalismem, který nahrazuje časové procesy klasického diskurzivního vysvětlení explikativními procesy prostorovými, topologickými. Zatímco je však možné kritizovat strukturalismus Léviho-Strausse či Greimase pro jeho formalismus, struktury imaginárna, jež jsou z definice "figurativní", nás vedou k tomu, abychom o struktuře uvažovali v termínech jejího dynamického obsahu.

Gilbert & George and the Communists - James Birch

The much-anticipated sequel to Bacon in Moscow, Gilbert & George and the Communists charts daring art dealer James Birch''s next implausible transcultural mission: introducing British art''s most subversive duo to not only the creaking remnants of Soviet Russia, but to the steely frontier of a Maoist China well on its way to becoming a global superpower. Gilbert & George and the Communists is more than just a picaresque and deeply funny riot through art history: it is a first-hand account of how, just as one global giant died, another was born.

The Compassionate Mind - Prof Paul Gilbert

Throughout history people have sought to cope with a life that is often stressful and hard. We have actually known for some time that developing compassion for oneself and others can help us face up to and win through the hardship and find a sense of inner peace. However in modern societies we rarely focus on this key process that underpins successful coping and happiness and can be quick to dismiss the impact of modern living on our minds and well-being. Instead we concentrate on ''doing, achieving'' and having''. Now, bestselling author and leading authority on depression, Professor Paul Gilbert explains how new research shows how we can all learn to develop compassion for ourselves and others and derive the benefits of this age-old wisdom. In this ground-breaking new book he explores how our minds have developed to be highly sensitive and quick to react to perceived threats and how this fast-acting threat-response system can be a source of anxiety, depression and aggression. He describes how studies have also shown that developing kindness and compassion for self and others can hep in calming down the threat system: as a mother''s care and love can soothe a baby''s distress, so we ...

An Analysis of Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic - Rebecca Pohl

The 1979 publication of Susan Gubar and Sandra M. Gilbert’s ground-breaking study The Madwoman in the Attic marked a founding moment in feminist literary history as much as feminist literary theory. In their extensive study of nineteenth-century women’s writing, Gubar and Gilbert offer radical re-readings of Jane Austen, the Brontës, Emily Dickinson, George Eliot and Mary Shelley tracing a distinctive female literary tradition and female literary aesthetic. Gubar and Gilbert raise questions about canonisation that continue to resonate today, and model the revolutionary importance of re-reading influential texts that may seem all too familiar

Miles To Go Before I Sleep - Claire Gilbert

''Claire''s honest, raw, authentic diaries will be a source of comfort to many''- Miranda Hart At the age of 54 Claire Gilbert was diagnosed with myeloma, an incurable cancer of the blood. The prognoses ranged from surviving only a few months to living for several decades, with no guarantee of which outcome was to be hers. It was a shocking diagnosis into uncertainty, or rather, into only one certainty: death. But Claire discovered that facing her own mortality was liberating. She discovered this through writing letters. Claire asked her siblings and a small group of friends if they would let her write to them with total honesty about what she was going through, as she was going through it. These letters turned out to be a great solace, and gradually her group of ''dear readers'' has grown; what she had to say wasn''t just of value to herself, but to others, too. The letters chart Claire''s journey through diagnosis, chemotherapy and a brutal round of stem cell treatment, and end with the rest of the UK joining her in her immuno-compromised isolation in March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic hit. Unflinchingly honest and wide-ranging, Claire writes about the restorative role ... Unknown localization key: "more"
