ISBN: 9780195343175 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many people throughout the world "inhabit" imaginary worlds communally and persistently, parsing Harry Potter and exploring online universes. These activities might seem irresponsibly escapist, but history tells another story.

From Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and Tolkien's Middle-earth to the World of...

The Avant-Garde in Interwar England: Medieval Modernism and the London Underground
ISBN: 9780195147186 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Avant-Garde in Interwar England addresses modernism's ties to tradition, commerce, nationalism, and spirituality through an analysis of the assimilation of visual modernism in England between 1910 and 1939. During this period, a debate raged across the nation concerning the purpose of art in society. On one side were the aesthetic formalists, led by members of London's Bloomsbury Group, who thought art was autonomous from everyday life. On the other were England's so-called medieval modernists, many of them from the provincial North, who maintained that art had direct social...

The Re-Enchantment of the World: Secular Magic in a Rational Age
ISBN: 9780804752992 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Re-Enchantment of the World is an interdisciplinary volume that challenges the long-prevailing view of modernity as -disenchanted.- There is of course something to the widespread idea, so memorably put into words by Max Weber, that modernity is characterized by the -progressive disenchantment of the world.- Yet what is less often recognized is the fact that a powerful counter-tendency runs alongside this one, an overwhelming urge to fill the vacuum left by departed convictions, and to do so without invoking superseded belief systems. In fact, modernity produces an array of...
