ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2024 ACCORDING TO THE TIMES, GUARDIAN, FINANCIAL TIMES, NEW STATESMAN, THE INDEPENDENT, THE SCOTSMAN, THE GLOBE AND MAIL, AND TIMEShouldn't we know what we're arguing about?From one of the most influential thinkers of our time, an enlightening, essential account of how a fear of gender is fuelling reactionary politics around the world Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on gender that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed ‘anti-gender ideology movements’ dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous threat to families, local cultures, civilization – and even ‘man’ himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to abolish reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights.But what, exactly, is so disturbing about gender? In this vital, courageous book, Butler carefully examines how ‘gender’ has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations and transexclusionary feminists, and the concrete ways in which this phantasm works. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of critical race theory and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, Who's Afraid of Gender? is a galvanizing call to make a broad coalition with all those who struggle for equality and fight injustice. Imagining new possibilities for freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us an essentially hopeful work that is both timely and timeless.

One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial.Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, ''essential'' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category ''woman'' and continues in this vein with examinations of ''the masculine'' and ''the feminine''. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler''s concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.

eBook: Kniha významné politické a feministické teoretičky Judith Butlerové se věnuje současným válkám a otázce: za které životy (ne)truchlíme. Pokud život není "takový, za kterým bude truchleno", je snazší připustit jeho zmaření. Autorka promlouvá k publiku "prvního světa", které se hlásí k demokratickým hodnotám a lidským a občanským právům. Proč je přijatelné vést války nebo uplatňovat nadvládu nad druhými? Jak se přihlásit k požadavku nenásilí? V Rámcích války vychází Butlerová z přesvědčení, že život každého je do jisté míry vždy v rukou druhých.

This book by the author of Why Am I Afraid to Love? contains insights on self-awareness, personal growth and communication with others. Why do people continually hide their real selves from the people around them? Why are so many so insecure and afraid to open up? The answer, explains John Powell, is that maturity is reached by communicating and interacting with others. This book considers the consequences our real self faces if no one else ever finds out what we are like. In this enduring classic, the companion to Why Am I Afraid to Love?, John Powell explains how to be more emotionally open, and shows how people adopt roles and play psychological games to protect their inner selves. The courage to be our real selves can be developed, and then we can begin to grow. Now newly designed for a fresh audience, Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? is as relevant as it has been for twenty years. With a proven track record, it continues to speak to the needs and aspirations of people today. It is best included in self help sections of general bookshops, but also has a religious appeal.

In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the great derangement of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women - Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.

A lively new biography of Tutankhamun―published for the hundredth anniversary of his tomb’s modern discovery The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 sparked imaginations across the globe. While Howard Carter emptied its treasures, Tut-mania gripped the world―and in many ways, never left. But who was the “boy king,” and what was his life really like? Garry J. Shaw tells the full story of Tutankhamun’s reign and his modern rediscovery. As pharaoh, Tutankhamun had to manage an empire, navigate influential courtiers, and suffer the pain of losing at least two children―all before his nineteenth birthday. Shaw explores the boy king’s treasures and possessions, from a lock of his grandmother’s hair to a reed cut with his own hands. He looks too at Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun’s wife, and the power queens held. This is a compelling new biography that weaves together intriguing details about ancient Egyptian culture, its beliefs, and its place in the wider world.

In 1187 Saladin’s armies besieged the holy city of Jerusalem. He had previously annihilated Jerusalem’s army at the battle of Hattin, and behind the city’s high walls a last-ditch defence was being led by an unlikely trio – including Sibylla, Queen of Jerusalem. They could not resist Saladin, but, if they were lucky, they could negotiate terms that would save the lives of the city’s inhabitants. Queen Sibylla was the last of a line of formidable female rulers in the Crusader States of Outremer. Yet for all the many books written about the Crusades, one aspect is conspicuously absent: the stories of women. Queens and princesses tend to be presented as passive transmitters of land and royal blood. In reality, women ruled, conducted diplomatic negotiations, made military decisions, forged alliances, rebelled, and undertook architectural projects. Sibylla’s grandmother Queen Melisende was the first queen to seize real political agency in Jerusalem and rule in her own right. She outmanoeuvred both her husband and son to seize real power in her kingdom, and was a force to be reckoned with in the politics of the medieval Middle East. The lives of her Armenian mother, her three sisters, and their daughters and granddaughters were no less intriguing. The lives of this trailblazing dynasty of royal women, and the crusading Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, are the focus of Katherine Pangonis’s debut book. In QUEENS OF JERUSALEM she explores the role women played in the governing of the Middle East during periods of intense instability, and how they persevered to rule and seize greater power for themselves when the opportunity presented itself.

In 1976, Dana dreams of being a writer. In 1815, she is assumed a slave. When Dana first meets Rufus on a Maryland plantation, he's drowning. She saves his life - and it will happen again and again.

It's time to fight backShame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool. When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities, or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice. But as best-selling author Cathy O'Neil argues in this revelatory book, shaming has taken a new and dangerous turn. It is increasingly being weaponized — used as a way to shift responsibility for social problems from institutions to individuals. Shaming children for not being able to afford school lunches or adults for not being able to find work lets...

Elektronická kniha - autor Kamila Remišová Věšínová, 252 stran, česky Jak souvisí zdánlivě teoretická genderová analýza s archeologickou praxí? Genderová analýza umožňuje archeologům nahlédnout do způsobu, jakým materiální kultura vytváří sociální vztahy mezi muži a ženami a jejich společenskými rolemi, a na základě mnoha různých faktorů pomáhá určit role a objasnit vzájemnou interakci obou pohlaví v pravěké společnosti. V českém akademickém prostředí je genderová analýza jako vědecká metoda téměř neznámá, a to přes svoji objektivně vysokou úspěšnost, jak je patrné z publikovaných zahraničních projektů. Předkládaná publikace si klade za cíl ukázat na konkrétních příkladech její praktické využití při řešení některých archeologických problémů a zkoumání kulturních a sociálních komponent.

Mladou ženu požádají, ať vleze do krabice a nechá se rozřezat. Starý trik hodlá kouzelník nacvičit se svou novou asistentkou doma, kde vše sleduje jeho žena. Román Judith Hermannové Doma začíná právě touto téměř thrillerovou epizodou z minulosti hlavní postavy. Střih. Hrdinka nechává dosavadní život za sebou a stěhuje se do vlastního domu u moře. Píše krátké dopisy bývalému manželovi, navazuje opatrná přátelství, zkouší milostný poměr, přemýšlí, co dál. Vše plyne pomalu, hvězdná autorka této knihy je proslulá tím, že nikam nespěchá. Vypráví o ženě, která se v krajině na pobřeží po malých krůčcích stává někým jiným. Ohledává paměť a okamžik, v němž v životě člověka nastane předěl, kdy se ze starého rodí nové. Mezi slovy nechává jakoby mimochodem protékat něco neuchopitelného a vyzařuje přitom neodolatelnou pomalost, která mnohým z nás už dávno schází. Za román Doma byla Judith Hrmannová v roce 2021 nominována mj. na Německou knižní cenu nebo na Cenu Knižního veletrhu v Lipsku.

Jak blízko můžeme být lidem, které milujeme? Fotograf sleduje svého adoptivního syna, se zájmem i odstupem zároveň, jeho žena ten pohled vidí, a tím by se to mohlo celé pokazit. Starý muž vzpomíná na cestu na ostrov Nantucket, poslední společnou výpravu s přáteli a do domu, který je zatím jen nahrubo postavený, slovy se kreslí do vzduchu. Žena vypráví o jednom dni u jezera, o jednom neštěstí a možná i o jedné velké lásce. Dítě poprvé v životě spálí věc, která pro něj byla dlouho důležitá. Postavy Judith Hermannové jsou někdy úplně bezbranné. O to intenzivnější jsou jejich setkání s jinými, milovanými nebo cizími lidmi. Tyto momenty nastávají bezděčně, bez vzruchu a pod povrchem vyvolávají existenciální tíhu. Judith Hermannová používá málo slov, ale mezi nimi se odehrávají neuchopitelné věci.

Povídková kniha Alice je trochu jiná než předcházející dva tituly Judith Hermannové. Ohledává nejzazší bod - smrt. Pět úmrtí pěti mužů. Pozvolných i náhlých, čekaných i nečekaných. Provázaných na různý způsob. A ohledává rovněž, co zbude po smrti. Jak se dá se smrtí sžít. Jak žít se smrtí druhého v sobě. Hermannová tu poprvé uvažuje nad tím, co bude. Poprvé překračuje temný kruh melancholie. A v podtextu pak otvírá dvě témata, která do jisté míry tvarují dnešek: všeobecná pasivita občanské společnosti plus odumírání mužského principu.

Papež Jan Pavel II. ve svém listu Ordinatio sacerdotalis uvedl: „… prohlašuji, že církev nemá pravomoc udělovat kněžské svěcení ženám a že toto rozhodnutí mají všichni věřící v církvi přijímat jako definitivní.“ Tímto prohlášením byla otázka kněžského svěcení žen v katolické církvi de facto uzavřena. Přestože je postoj církve jednoznačný, mnoho kněží, řeholníků, seminaristů i laiků hledá, jak odpovědět na kritiku i upřímně míněné otázky týkající se tohoto učení církve. Sara Butlerová se ve své knize pokouší tuto nauku objasnit a obhájit, a také ukázat hlavní důvody, proč má tolik lidí obtíže ji přijmout. Zkoumá složité zásadní otázky spojené se svěcením žen na kněze a nabízí inspiraci pro každého, kdo má zájem o hlubší porozumění. Součástí publikace jsou klíčové dokumenty církve o kněžském svěcení žen, které byly exkluzivně doplněny pouze pro české vydání knihy.

Sitting quietly in his room in an old people's home, Allan Karlsson is waiting for a party he doesn't want to begin. His one-hundredth birthday party to be precise. The Mayor will be there. The press will be there. But, as it turns out, Allan will not . . . Escaping (in his slippers) through his bedroom window, into the flowerbed, Allan makes his getaway. And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, Allan's earlier life is revealed. A life in which - remarkably - he played a key role behind the scenes in some of the momentous events of the twentieth century. Translated by Roy Bradbury.

Ženy jako uživatelky drog jsou v hledáčku sociologů již několik desetiletí. Výzkumníci publikovali mnohé o specifičnosti jejich situace, zvláště v souvislosti s genderovou nerovností. Psali o výraznější stigmatizaci žen nebo o obtížnějším přístupu k léčbě a sociálním službám. Naopak málo pozornosti věnovali strategiím, pomocí nichž se uživatelky drog snaží své situaci vzdorovat, nebo těžkostem, se kterými se potýkají v každodenním životě. A právě tento neobvyklý pohled nabízí autorka knihy Vím, co dělám. Prostřednictvím narativní analýzy opakovaných hloubkových rozhovorů a fokusních skupin se sedmi ženami, které mají zkušenost s dlouhodobým užíváním metamfetaminu/pervitinu, zkoumá nejen problémy, jimž ženy čelí, ale také sílu k jednání, kterou používají, aby mohly opět převzít kontrolu nad svým životem a prosadit své potřeby a zájmy v okolním světě.
