ISBN: 9788020034052 / Czeski / Miękka / 2023 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Frank Furedi se vrací k tématu, které už zpracovával v knize Culture of Fear (Kultura strachu), neboť mnohé z toho, co předvídal, se skutečně stalo. Kniha chce vysvětlit dvě vzájemně propojená témata: proč v dnešní společnosti získal strach morálně dominantní postavení a jak se náš dnešní strach liší od obav, které jsme prožívali v minulosti. Jaké jsou hnací síly strachu, jaká je role médií v jeho prosazování a kdo má vlastně prospěch z kultury strachu? To jsou některé otázky, kterých si Furedi všímá, aby vysvětlil současnou složitou...

The radical transformation that universities are undergoing today is no less far-reaching than the upheavals that it experienced in the 1960s.

On both sides of the Atlantic curious and disturbing events on campuses has become a matter of concern not just for academics but also for the general public.

The Silent War : Imperialism and the Changing Perception of Race
ISBN: 9780745313030 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Racial identity is one of the defining characteristics of the 20th century. In this study, Frank Furedi traces the history of Western colonial racist ideology and its role in the subjugation of the peoples of the non-West. His central theme is the changing perception of racism in the West and how the use of race has altered during the course of the 20th century. Focusing on World War II as the crucial turning point in racist ideology, Furedi argues that the defeat of Nazism left the West uneasy with its own racist past. He assesses how this was redefined in the postwar period, especially...

Authority
ISBN: 9781107007284 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Concern with authority is as old as human history itself. Eve's sin was to challenge the authority of God by disobeying his rule. Frank Furedi explores how authority was contested in ancient Greece and given a powerful meaning in Imperial Rome. Debates about religious and secular authority dominated Europe through the Middle Ages and the Reformation. The modern world attempted to develop new foundations for authority democratic consent, public opinion, science yet Furedi shows that this problem has remained unresolved, arguing that today the authority of authority is questioned. This...

Invitation to Terror: The Expanding Empire of the Unknown
ISBN: 9780826424549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Frank Furedi argues that Western culture appears to feed off a diet of terror and inadvertently offers its enemies an invitation to be terrorised. We have not developed an intellectual framework in which to be able to confront the fear of terrorism. The language we use betrays confusion about the threat we face and therefore undermines our capacity to engage with it. Beginning with the question of 'Why do they hate us?' we find ourselves unsure of who 'they' are. Even more unsettling is the realisation that we are not quite sure of who 'we' are. In this startling and original book Frank... Frank Furedi argues that Western culture appears to feed off a diet of terror and inadvertently offers its enemies an invitation to be terrorised. ... |

Therapy Culture: Cultivating Vulnerability in an Uncertain Age
ISBN: 9780415321594 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Therapy Culture explores the powerful influence of therapeutic imperative in Anglo-American societies. In recent decades virtually every sphere of life has become subject to a new emotional culture. Professor Furedi suggests that the recent cultural turn toward the realm of the emotions coincides with a radical redefinition of personhood. Increasingly vulnerability is presented as the defining feature of people's psychology. Terms like people 'at risk', 'scarred for life' or 'emotional damage' evoke a unique sense of powerlessness. Furedi questions the widely accepted thesis that the...

New Ideology of Imperialism: Renewing the Moral Imperative
ISBN: 9780745308463 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the 19th century vast areas of the underdeveloped world were invaded and colonized under the justification of anti-slavery and the civilizing mission. In this analysis, Furedi demonstrates how, in the late 20th century, the major nations of the West are again intervening in the Third World - this time legitimizing their action on new moral grounds.

The Road to Ukraine: How the West Lost Its Way
ISBN: 9783110995626 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 113 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the latest chapter in a series of events that have their origins in World War One. The difficult existential questions that emerged before and during this conflict still remain unresolved. Contrary to the claim that wars are not supposed to happen in Europe or that we live in the era of the End of History, the experience of Ukraine highlights the salience of the spell of the past. The failure of the West to take its past seriously has left it confused and unprepared to deal with the current crisis. Unexpectedly fashionable claims about the irrelevance of...

Populism and the European Culture Wars: The Conflict of Values Between Hungary and the Eu
ISBN: 9781138097438 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Concern and hostility towards populism has become a distinctive feature of contemporary political culture. In Europe such concerns are frequently directed at Eurosceptics, whose opposition to the European Union is often portrayed as a cultural crime. Ancient anti-democratic claims about the gullibility, ignorance and irrationality of the masses are frequently recycled through the anti-populist condemnation of people who vote the wrong way. This book argues that the current outburst of anti-populist anxiety is symptomatic of a loss of faith in democracy and in the ability of the...
