Poetika kódování - Umění v technocénu
ISBN: 9788086443683 / Czeski / Miękka / 2025 / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Světu dnes vládnou proprietární algoritmy, tajná datová úložiště a neproniknutelné systémy. Jak se to odráží v umění? Nadim Samman v Poetice kódování analyzuje díla, která zdůrazňují skryté dimenze naší technologické krajiny. Na rozdíl od klamných tvrzení o nové kultuře transparentnosti a otevřenosti se tato díla zaměřují na černá místa, černé skříňky a černé díry, zatímco se pohybují na hranici mezi informovaným znepokojením a okultním sněním.

Jak jsme se vznášeli
ISBN: 9788090769960 / Czeski / Miękka / 2021 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Napůl cestopis, napůl esej. Autoři knihy Jak jsme se vznášeli rozehrávají fantazii a otevírají dávná traumata atolu Bikini. Tento tichomořský „ráj na zemi“, tvořený několika ostrůvky, byl v letech 1946–1958 během operace Crossroads a dalších amerických jaderných zkoušek vystaven třiadvaceti obrovským výbuchům. Od té doby se o jeho osud zajímá málokdo. Kniha přepíná mezi osobním vyprávěním o pouti nad mořskou hladinou i pod ní a kritickým přezkoumáváním postkoloniální geografie. Rozvíjí při tom úvahy o subjektivitě a lidském...

Islam and the Orientalist World-System
ISBN: 9781594515194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Featuring Immanuel Wallerstein, Joseph Massad, Marnia Lazreg, and other well-known and emerging new authors, this book seeks a more accurate understanding of Islam and Islamic societies' role and relations to global cultural and economic realities. The book confronts a trend today of analyzing Islam as a "cultural system" that stands outside of, and even predates, modernity. The authors see this trend as part of a racist discourse unaware of the realities of contemporary Islam. Islamic societies today are products of the world capitalist system and cannot be understood as being separate from...

Anxiety of Erasure: Trauma, Authorship, and the Diaspora in Arab Women's Writings
ISBN: 9780815634027 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Far from offering another study that bemoans Arab women's repression and veiling, Anxiety of Erasure looks at Arab women writers living in the diaspora who have translated their experiences into a productive and creative force. In this book, Al-Samman articulates the therapeutic effects of revisiting forgotten histories and of activating two cultural tropes: that of the maw'udah (buried female infant) and that of Shahrazad in the process of revolutionary change. She asks what it means to develop a national, gendered consciousness from diasporic locals while staying committed to the...

Square Moon: Supernatural Tales
ISBN: 9781557285355 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Marking collisions and mutations of culture and character, these ten short stories arise at the frontiers where Arabic tradition melds with both the modern European world and a Gothic strata of the supernatural. The resultant mix sparks tensions between the sexes, between identities, and between experimental forms of storytelling and strict narrative.
In Samman's fiction, matchmakers still come to call, but lovers go bungee jumping. A schizophrenic has a discussion with one of his personalities about murder and relationships with women. Avoiding ghosts both real and imagined, a war-exile...

Clash of Modernities: The Making and Unmaking of the New Jew, Turk, and Arab and the Islamist Challenge
ISBN: 9781594516986 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. To understand the Middle East we must also understand how the West produced a temporal narrative of world history in which westemers placed themselves on top and all others below them. In a landmark reinterpretation of Middle Eastern history, this book shows how Arabs, Muslims, Turks, and Jews absorbed, revised, yet remained loyal to this Western vision. Turkish Kemalism and Israeli Zionism, in their efforts to push their people forward, accepted the narrative almost wholeheartedly, eradicating what they perceived as 'archaic' characteristics of their Jewish and Turkish cultures. Arab...
