Zapomnění
ISBN: 9788087705865 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Svůj poslední soubor povídek Zapomnění psal David Foster Wallace paralelně s již nedokončeným románem Bledý král. Kniha vyšla roku 2004. Témata osobní identity a možností porozumění i sebeporozumění se ve Wallaceových textech prolínají s nejsoučasnějšími technikami ovlivňování a vnější prezentace a kladou – nevyslovenou, snad i nevyslovitelnou? – otázku, na co jsme vlastně zapomněli.

Mexico City in Contemporary Mexican Cinema
ISBN: 9780292725423 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Just as Mexican national life has come to center on the sprawling, dynamic, almost indefinable metropolis of Mexico City, so recent Mexican cinema has focused on the city not merely as a setting for films but almost as a protagonist in its own right, whose conditions both create meaning for and receive meaning from the human lives lived in its midst. Through close readings of fourteen recent critically acclaimed films, this book watches Mexican cinema in this process of producing cultural meaning through its creation, enaction, and interpretation of the idea of Mexico City. David... Just as Mexican national life has come to center on the sprawling, dynamic, almost indefinable metropolis of Mexico City, so recent Mexican cinema ... |

Foster organizes his study around three broad themes: construction of masculinity, constructions of feminine and feminist identities, and same-sex positionings and...
