Zamenhof's yiddish grammar and his universal language: two projects in ashkenazi culture - christer oscar kiselman

Během století žili židé v Rusku s mnohými jazyky: vlastním jidiš, hebrejštinou a aramejštinou, stejně jako oficiální ruštinou, která se používala ve školách a na univerzitách. A kolem nich se vyskytovaly další jazyky, litevština, polština a běloruština. V tomto jazykově bohatém prostředí se narodily jazykové reformy i jazyková kreativita. Uprostřed tohoto intenzivního kulturního prostředí Zamenhof vytvořil čtyři jazyky a napsal detailní gramatiku své mateřštiny, jidiš. V této publikaci autor představuje a analyzuje Zamenhofovu gramatiku jidiš, stejně jako jeho druhý umělý jazyk, jazyk univerzální. Na jejich porovnání ukazuje, že vliv jidiš na jazyk univerzální je mnohem větší než vliv jidiš na esperanto, čtvrtý Zamenhofův jazyk. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook:,Kniha Rétorika v evropské kultuře i ve světě vymezuje postavení rétoriky v systému kultury a vzdělanosti od starověku po dnešek. Zkoumá pokles jejího významu v období racionalismu a osvícenství, uvádí příčiny, v jejichž důsledku byly rétorice (redukované na soustavu řečnických triků) přisuzovány negativní konotace, a vysvětluje, proč si rétorika ve 20. století dokázala své pozice znovu vydobýt. Dokládá, že prestiž rétoriky prudce klesá, když je redukována na recept k rafinovanému klamání publika, a naopak stoupá, když se chápe jako vědecká disciplína, která se vydává napříč humanitními obory – filozofií, logikou, sémiotikou, literární vědou, lingvistikou, naukou o médiích apod. V tomto pojetí rétorika usiluje o všestranné poznávání a kultivování řečového projevu, mluveného i psaného, a to nejen jeho produkce, ale i recepce a interpretace. V takové renesanci zájmu se rétorika jeví ne jako pouhý návod k řečové dovednosti, ale jako komplexní teoretický obor zkoumající chování člověka ve společenské komunikaci. Kapitoly 1–9 charakterizují vývoj rétoriky od jejích řeckých, helénistických a římských počátků k rétorice v kontextu křesťanské kultury středověku, dále k období humanismu, osvícenství, baroka; závěrečné kapitoly se pak věnují rétorice v 18., 19, a 20. století. Přitom se uplatňuje zřetel geografický, zahrnující dějiny rétoriky ve Francii, Španělsku, Itálii, Německu, Anglii, Skotsku, Polsku, v Rusku, v Čechách, na Moravě a na Slovensku, od 19. století pak i ve Spojených státech. Poslední, 10. kapitola předkládá odpověď na otázku, zdali se odpovídající systémy rétorických poznatků utvářely i za hranicemi středomořské antiky. Na vybraných příkladech teoretických prací o „umění řeči“ pocházejících z území Indie, Blízkého východu, Číny, Koreje a Japonska se ukazuje, že každé jazykové společenství si vytváří svou vlastní představu, teorii a praxi přesvědčivého a sugestivního řečového vystupování. Mnohdy se takové poznatky spíš než na návody k stylizaci a přednesu mluvených projevů soustřeďují na analýzu písemných památek, v nichž lze nalézt jak specifické kategoriální prostředky dané kultury (tak je tomu např. u komentářů k staroindickým védským textům), tak tropy a figury charakteristické pro rétoriku řeckou a římskou, např. u hebrejských a aramejských textů Starého zákona.

eBook: Cílem knihy je objasnit dosud neznámá nebo nedostatečně osvětlená fakta z každodenního života příslušníků lengyelské kultury, neolitických zemědělců, kteří přišli z Balkánu, přes Moravu se rozšířili až na území dnešního Rakouska a Polska a nahradili původní rané zemědělské populace střední Evropy – kultury s lineární (LnK) a vypíchanou keramikou (StK). Od raně neolitických kultur se odlišovali zejména využíváním mědi, sopečného skla a vyšším podílem lovu. Jak byla tato populace ovlivněna používáním kovu? Proč vzrostla její potřeba lovit? Jaký byl její zdravotní stav před migrací z dnešního Maďarska na Moravu, kde zažila nebývalý rozkvět, a jaké nemoci nejvíc sužovaly obyvatele lengyelských osad? V čem se lišil jejich životní styl od předchozích kultur s lineární a vypíchanou keramikou? Na tyto otázky se snaží odpovědět mezinárodní tým odborníků pod vedením Václava Smrčky a Olivéra Gábora.

Boys in Children's Literature and Popular Culture proposes new theoretical frameworks for understanding the contradictory ways masculinity is represented in popular texts consumed by boys in the United States. The popular texts boys like are often ignored by educators and scholars, or are simply dismissed as garbage that boys should be discouraged from enjoying. However, examining and making visible the ways masculinity functions in these texts is vital to understanding the broad array of works that make up children's culture and form dominant versions of masculinity. Such popular texts as Harry Potter, Captain Underpants, and Japanese manga and anime often perform rituals of subject formation in overtly grotesque ways that repulse adult readers and attract boys. They often use depictions of the abject - threats to bodily borders - to blur the distinctions between what is outside the body and what is inside, between what is "I" and what is "not I." Because of their reliance on depictions of the abject, those popular texts that most vigorously perform exaggerated versions of masculinity also create opportunities to make dominant masculinity visible as a social construct.

About The Good Soldier Svejk and His Fortunes in the World WarJaroslav Hašek’s black satire, the inspiration for such works as Joseph Heller’s Catch-22Good-natured and garrulous, Švejk becomes the Austro-Hungarian army’s most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of the First World War – although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards, getting drunk and becoming a general nuisance, the resourceful Švejk uses all his natural cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the doctors, police, clergy and officers who chivvy him towards battle. The story of a ‘little man’ caught in a vast bureaucratic machine, The Good Soldier Švejk combines dazzling wordplay and piercing satire to create a hilariously subversive depiction of the futility of war. Cecil Parrott’s vibrant, unabridged and unbowdlerized translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing Hašek’s turbulent life as an anarchist, communist and vagranty, and the Everyman character of Švejk. This edition also includes a guide to Czech names, maps and original illustrations by Josef Ladas.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

eBook: ‘Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania’ was written by American author Bayard Taylor. After marrying a wealthy woman, young Joseph discovers a deep and powerful love for his friend Philip. Confused by his feelings and unhappy with his manipulative wife, Joseph’s love for Philip grows stronger. Considered to be the ‘first gay novel’ in America, the book discusses the friends\' special attachment and their romantic but not sexual relationship. Noted for its enigmatic treatment of homosexuality, critics were divided over their interpretation of the novel with many arguing it was a political argument for gay relationships while others thought it an idealization of male spirituality. A great read for fans of E. M. Forster\'s novel \'Maurice\' and \'Brokeback Mountain\' by Annie Proulx. Bayard Taylor (1825–1878) was an American poet, author, literary critic and diplomat. Widely travelled, he was known primarily for his travelogues, which were popular in the UK and the United States. Visiting California at the height of the gold rush, Taylor published a hugely successful travel book called ‘El Dorado; or Adventures in the Path of Empire’ (1850). His other works include ‘Views Afoot, or Europe seen with Knapsack and Staff’ (1846), ‘A Journey to Central Africa; or Life and Landscapes from Egypt’ and ‘A Visit to India, China and Japan in the Year 1853’ (1855). Taylor is also credited with writing the ‘first gay novel’ in America, with his 1870 novel ‘Joseph and His Friend: A Story of Pennsylvania.’ His later work included Poems of the Orient (1855) and his famous translation of ‘Faust’ (1870–71).

The publication is the first book to provide a comprehensive account of the building of a nationwide network of cultural houses, which were systematically established during the socialist period in the former Czechoslovakia. As places of public life in post-war society, these buildings enjoyed generous state support, not only economically but also politically and legislatively. Our interest is not only focused on their specific typology, but we also look at their educational and emancipatory potential as well as their role as a political tool for the organization and control of leisure. The publication also focuses on the search for the roots and programmatic antecedents of cultural institutions established from the nineteenth century onwards and in the inter-war period (association and national or workers' houses), with an overlap into the post-1989 period, when buildings and their operators had to, and sometimes still have to, cope with the demands of modernisation. The book covers both the Czech and Slovak context of the construction of cultural houses, which not only manages to cover the entire territory of the former Czechoslovakia, but also to capture the different historical experiences. The texts for the book were written by Jiří Andrs, Jan Galeta, Hubert Guzik, Katarína Haberlandová, Michaela Janečková, Laura Krišteková, Josef Ledvina, Irena Lehkoživová, Henrieta Moravčíková, Peter Szalay, Karel Šima, Jitka Šosová, Lukáš Veverka, Jan Zikmund, with a foreword by the leading British cultural and art historian David Crowley. The book is a combination of a scholarly book and a pictorial publication with images by photographers Oskar Helcel and Martin Netočný. The series of photographs divides the text into four parts, the first of which focuses on historical pre-images of cultural houses in the Czech lands and Slovakia from the 19th century onwards, and the second on the practical aspects of their construction during the period of state socialism. The third traces the history and changes of cultural houses in the Czech lands from the Second World War to the 1990s.
