The Queer Art of Failure
The Queer Art of Failure is about finding alternatives-to conventional understandings of success in a heteronormative, capitalist society; to academic disciplines that confirm what is already known according to approved methods of knowing; and to cultural criticism that claims to break new ground but cleaves to conventional archives. Jack Halberstam proposes "low theory" as a mode of thinking and writing that operates at many different levels at once. Low theory is derived from eccentric archives. It runs the risk of not being taken seriously.
It entails a willingness to fail and to lose one's way, to pursue difficult questions about complicity, and to find counterintuitive forms of resistance. Tacking back and forth between high theory and low theory, high culture and low culture, Halberstam looks for the unexpected and subversive in popular culture, avant-garde performance, and queer art. Halberstam pays particular attention to animated children's films, revealing narratives filled with unexpected encounters between the childish, the transformative, and the queer. Failure sometimes offers more creative, cooperative, and surprising ways of being in the world, even as it forces us to face the dark side of life, love, and libido.

Miroslav Donutil 70, 2. vydanie
Autorizovaná kniha. Doplněné vydání.
Nezřídka člověk slyší, že herecké osobnosti, jaké jsme měli dříve, v současné době už nejsou. Já bych některé přece jen mohl jmenovat, ale o jedné jsem zcela přesvědčen.
Miroslav Donutil.
Pokud stojí na jevišti, tak dokáže nejen skvěle hrát, on také zpívá i tančí, směje se i rozesmívá až k slzám, ale také dokáže truchlit i rozesmutnět, a na druhé straně, v hledišti, si jeho výkon užívá, a dokonce se jím kochá divák. Tak tohle dnes u nás dokáže opravdu snad jen Donutil a divák si náhle uvědomí, že rodák z Třebíče a pak hvězda brněnského Provázku a persona Národního divadla navazuje na osobnosti s komediálním a vypravěčským talentem, jakými postupně byli Vlasta Burian, Jan Werich, Miroslav Horníček a Vladimír Menšík.
„Já taky miluju, když můžu přijet za divákem a přímo jemu vyprávět. To je nejlepší, co může herec zažít. Zpočátku mě někteří lidé kritizovali, že jezdím s pořadem po republice, jako že je to snad něco podbízivého,“ svěřuje Mirek. „A já na to říkal: Co už by měl herec dělat a co víc by měl chtít, než přijet někam, kam přijdou diváci jen kvůli němu a jeho historkám. To je přece krásné.“
Tak přemýšlel i Menšík a právě s ním je Donutil často srovnáván.
Ostatně, je nějaká obtížnější herecká disciplína, než být bavičem a komikem, zeptal jsem se Jiřího Suchého, nestora Semaforu.
„Možná že ano, ale já o ní nevím,“ odpovídá svébytně.
„A Donutil je skvělý vypravěč a výjimečný jako herec.“
A Pan Herec, jak jsem Miroslava pro sebe pojmenoval, mi na našich setkáních poutavě vyprávěl, co všechno prožil a o čem přemýšlel v posledních deseti letech. A já poznal, že tento kdysi bohémsky vyhlížející Nikola Šuhaj z Balady pro banditu je umělcem maximálně systematickým, vyjádřeno nadsázkou robotem s kalendářem nabitým a obsazeným rok dopředu. Kumštýřem, který nemá čas na nějaké stýskání, protože tvrdě a s velkou přípravou a odpovědností pracuje.
Přirozeně mě v průběhu posledních let zajímalo, co si o „mém hrdinovi“ myslí osobnosti. Karel Gott či Bolek Polívka anebo také Milan Lasica a Emília Vášáryová. A právě hvězda oceněná na Slovensku „herečkou století“ sdělila něco úžasného.
„Dívám se na Mirka a říkám si: to je Jean Gabin!“
Ano, rád souhlasím, takový typ protagonisty je, ale zároveň doplním: Donutil je svou hereckou paletou mnohobarevný se schopností „koncertovat“ jako ve své nejslavnější roli Truffaldina v díle Carla Goldoniho „Sluha dvou pánů“, které na prknech Národního divadla v průběhu dvaadvaceti let ztvárnil v rekordních 600 (!) představeních, podotýkám, zcela vyprodaných.
„Tohle je ten důvod, proč to dělám!“ mohl si říci na konci každé reprízy.
A tak se společně s autory začtěme do knihy, která je věnována sedmdesátinám Miroslava Donutila a vychází v doplněném vydání. Významný umělec se v ní ohlíží za posledním desetiletím a současně stojí před pomyslným zrcadlem, ve kterém ho vidí více než 70 osobností a lidí.
