Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression


In Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression, Jacob Engelberg makes the case for radically recalibrating queer film studies, taking as a starting point those cinematic figures who resist categorization within the gay-straight binary. Engelberg’s engagement with bisexual transgression on film illuminates the mutability and instability of sexuality, and of sociocultural structures more broadly by resisting the censure of images as politically harmful as well as the celebration of transgression as inherently subversive. Instead, Engelberg understands bisexual transgression as a process whereby sociocultural rules are made knowable by being contested. From 1970s vampire films to 1990s erotic thrillers, from lesbian imaginings of female bisexuality to European art cinema’s reckonings with HIV/AIDS, bisexual figures on film embody anxieties around the precarity of binary sexuality while revealing the contingencies of sexuality’s cinematic signification. Revivifying the underexploited contributions of bisexual theory, Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression proposes a new mode of film theorization and analysis that examines the rich space between and beyond dominant categories of sexual organization, where sexual unpredictability, the allure of the forbidden, and the precarity of sexual signification are illuminated.

Kawase Hasui: Modern Visions of Japan


Discover the timeless beauty of Kawase Hasui, the master of shin hanga, in this stunning new book, featuring his most breathtaking woodblock prints and expert insights into his legacy. Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) was one of the most important and prolific Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. He was one of the main creators of the shin hanga ('new prints') movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects in a style influenced by Western painting. Shin hanga prints are harmoniously balanced designs, printed on the highest quality paper using the finest pigments, and in small editions. They are the fruit of a traditional yet successful collaboration between artist, publisher, block cutter and printer and have become increasingly popular among collectors of Japanese prints in the last decade. Hasui began his artistic career studying Japanese painting. However, soon after seeing Shinsui's Eight Views of Lake Biwa series, Hasui turned to woodblock printing in 1919. Shozaburo Watanabe was the first to recognize his artistic genius, and Hasui Kawase soon became the most popular artist working for this prestigious publisher. He produced nearly a thousand woodcuts in a career that spanned almost forty years. Towards the end of his life, the Japanese government recognized him as a 'Living National Treasure' for his contribution to Japanese culture.

And the Cow Burned


In the films of legendary Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky, images of visually striking and mysterious animals serve as powerful symbols, marvels, and metaphors, from nomadic dogs to rolling horses and soaring birds. Yet Tarkovsky's hauntingly beautiful depictions of animals exist in suspended tension with his often grisly portrayals of animal cruelty – exemplified by the cow he set on fire while making his second feature film Andrei Rublev. These disturbing moments challenge viewers' perceptions of Tarkovsky's morality and complicate his films' refined artistry. And the Cow Burned is a dynamic interdisciplinary study of Tarkovsky's filmography that draws on insights from animal studies, ethical philosophy, and film theory. Through focused case studies centered on different animals, De Luca posits that Tarkovsky's body of work serves as a canvas for animal philosophy, exposing contradictions inherent in human-animal relationships while raising questions about agency, ethics, and power. Readers are invited to engage with the ethical ramifications of Tarkovsky's depictions and understand these animals as real beings whose experiences are fundamentally woven into his moral and aesthetic considerations. And the Cow Burned challenges us to rethink the connections between animals and humans, encouraging a fresh perspective on the paradoxical exchanges that shape our interactions and paving the way for new interpretations in the future.

Long Take


A multifaceted portrait of the great Japanese director For years, Akira Kurosawa resisted writing about himself. “It would turn out to be nothing but talk about movies,” he said. “In other words, take myself, subtract movies, and the result is zero.” The memoir he finally started serializing in 1978, Something like an Autobiography, ended with Rashomon, the film that launched him on the world’s stage in 1950. Long Take, first published in Japan shortly after Kurosawa’s death in 1998, at last tells the story of the rest of his life. By turns intimate, provocative, and revealing, Long Take creates a dynamic portrait of Kurosawa from his own writings; his conversations with writer Inoue Hisashi and director Yamada Yoji; and essays by his daughter and colleague Kurosawa Kazuko, who details the collaborative history of the “Kurosawa crew.” It features a wealth of industry lore, cultural reference points, inside jokes with other filmmakers and writers, and backstories for his own productions, from the earliest to the last. Of particular interest to all cinephiles is an annotated list of Kurosawa’s 100 favorite films. A survey of Kurosawa’s prodigious career, this book situates the visionary in the media milieu of his youth, in the literature and performing arts of twentieth-century Japan and Hollywood, and among the myriad films he loved, admired, and referenced, including Japanese silent film and comedy as well as productions from India, Iran, and Soviet-era Russia. Now available to English readers for the first time, Long Take offers a lasting picture of the peerless filmmaker in his element.

Lauren Bacall


Lauren Bacall (1924–2014), or Betty, as she was known to friends, was one of the last great movie stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Her career spanned seven decades and was one of the longest and most distinguished in the history of show business. Yet it wasn’t easy. After becoming a star at nineteen with her first film, To Have and Have Not (1944), she joked there was nowhere for her to go but down. She became an icon of film noir before the term was even coined. A cool, sophisticated, sexy, and ultramodern woman, she projected confidence and independence. Lauren Bacall: The Queen of Cool is the first book to bring together all aspects of the legendary star’s life and career, exploring her iconic style, her extensive body of work, as well as her friendships and relationships with some of the most famous figures of the twentieth century. Her relationship with Humphrey Bogart is the stuff of legend, the most beloved pairing of classical Hollywood, a perfect blend of romance, glamour, and cinematic glory. When Bogart died in 1957, Bacall was a mere thirty-three years old, and for the rest of her life she would wrestle with the legend of her late husband, struggling to prove to the industry that she was more than just the most famous widow in Hollywood. That she managed to achieve in spades, becoming a two-time Tony Award–winning Broadway star, a bestselling author, and continuing a successful, though at times rocky, screen career, which brought her an Academy Award nomination in 1996 and an Honorary Oscar in 2009. Combining meticulous research with stunning photographs, author Anthony Uzarowski presents in this volume a multidimensional portrait of the woman and the star that was Lauren Bacall.

Dvě století od vzniku první dochované fotografie zažívá toto médium nebývalý rozmach. Fotografie se stala nedílnou součástí mezilidské komunikace a hlavním nástrojem pro tvorbu obrazů je dnes mobilní telefon. Algoritmy výpočetní fotografie posouvají uživatele digitálních zařízení do vztahu blízkého konceptu Aparát–Operátor, jak jej popsal Vilém Flusser. Tato příručka principu fotografického média si klade za cíl přiblížit čtenáři, co se odehrává na pozadí algoritmů v?„black boxu“ fotografického aparátu. Východiskem pro pochopení média jsou poznatky fotografie 20.?století. Autor se v knize často odkazuje na práci Ansela Adamse a ukazuje, s?jakými problémy při zachycení světla se musejí vyrovnávat i současné technologie. Zaměřuje se na vznik fotografie na základě fyzikálních zákonů, jež platí univerzálně. Cílem není čtenáře zahltit obsáhlými texty plnými odborných termínů, ale naopak srozumitelně a za pomoci jednoduchých ilustrací objasnit základní principy. Publikace vychází z?autorových poznámek k?výkladu technologie fotografie. Místy jsou pasáže rozvinuty do kratšího textu, většina však zůstává ve své stručnosti ve formě poznámek k?přednášce nebo výkladu.

Film's Feisty Femmes


It would be difficult to overestimate the importance, originality, and success of current Polish female directors, whose bold, vivid features have taken the film industry by storm. Film’s Feisty Femmes spotlights nine of the most productive, internationally acclaimed women in a profession traditionally dominated by men but characterized in 21st-century Poland by receptivity to creative talent regardless of gender. With the transition to a market economy, institutional innovations appreciably transformed the country’s filmmaking—a transformation of which audiences are the primary beneficiaries. The volume’s seven chapters combine textual analysis with assessment of camerawork, situating each director’s major works in a cultural context that includes significant developments in Poland as well as international trends in cinema and gender politics. A major issue addressed throughout entails the directors’ relationship to feminism in narratives that are unapologetically gynocentric.

Metoda Duncan – myšlení tancem


Text významné taneční pedagožky Evy Blažíčkové ozřejmuje tanec jako svébytnou uměleckou disciplínu, která se prostřednictvím výuky Metodou Duncan může rozvinout nejen v samostatnou tvůrčí činnost, ale také pozitivním způsobem ovlivnit formování člověka a jeho vztah ke světu. Autorka čtenáře postupně seznamuje s teoretickými východisky Metody Duncan a vymezuje její současnou podobu se zaměřením na klíčové oblasti, jež ji utvářejí (Technika, Improvizace, Tvorba, Umění učit).

Významná část knihy je pak určena didaktickým postupům a konkrétním cvičením využitelným v praxi, a to při výuce tance napříč věkovými skupinami i typy škol. Publikace je psána citlivým, poeticko-filosofickým jazykem a svým přesahem otevírá obecnější otázky uměleckého vzdělávání, kvality existence i hodnot, které formují lidské společenství. Celek doplňují originální kresby akademického malíře Vladimíra Kokolii, jež čtenáře přirozeně provázejí krajinou duncanovského tanečního myšlení.

Metalická architektura


Základním principem architektury je vyvolávat v lidech emoce. V publikaci METALICKÁ ARCHITEKTURA jsou soustředěna špičková díla předních architektů, která toto zadání bezezbytku naplňují. Tím se stávají inspirací pro ostatní a pomyslnými etalony pro stavbu moderních rodinných domů i občanské výstavby. Všechny projekty soustředěné v knize mají jedno společné, a tím je použití plechové střešní krytiny. Plechová krytina, dříve mylně považovaná za pouhé ekonomické řešení, je zde předvedena jako výrazný architektonický prvek. Nechybí ani vyjádření jednotlivých autorů, proč ve svém unikátním projektu preferovali právě toto řešení a v čem spatřují jeho přínos pro design i funkčnost stavby. Architektura není primárně o materiálech, ale o myšlence architekta. Efektní plechové krytiny však těmto myšlenkám dávají volnost a poskytují téměř neomezené možnosti. Proto s nimi vzniká špičková METALICKÁ ARCHITEKTURA. Načerpejte zkušenosti od renomovaných architektů a inspirujte se jejich výjimečnými stavbami.

Japanese Woodblock Prints


From Edouard Manet’s portrait of naturalist writer Émile Zola sitting among his Japanese art finds to Van Gogh’s meticulous copies of the Hiroshige prints he devotedly collected, 19th-century pioneers of European modernism made no secret of their love of Japanese art. In all its sensuality, freedom, and effervescence, the woodblock print is single-handedly credited with the wave of japonaiserie that first enthralled France and, later, all of Europe?but often remains misunderstood as an “exotic” artifact that helped inspire Western creativity. The fact is that the Japanese woodblock print is a phenomenon of which there exists no Western equivalent. Some of the most disruptive ideas in modern art?including, as Karl Marx put it, that “all that is solid melts into air”?were invented in Japan in the 1700s and expressed like never before in the designs of such masters as Hokusai, Utamaro, and Hiroshige in the early 19th century. This book lifts the veil on a much-loved but little-understood art form by presenting the 200 most exceptional Japanese woodblock prints in their historical context. Ranging from the 17th-century development of decadent ukiyo-e, or “pictures of the floating world,” to the decline and later resurgence of prints in the early 20th century, the images collected in this edition make up an unmatched record not only of a unique genre in art history, but also of the shifting mores and cultural development of Japan. From mystical mountains to snowy passes, samurai swordsmen to sex workers in shop windows, each piece is explored as a work of art in its own right, revealing the stories and people behind the motifs. We discover the four pillars of the woodblock print?beauties, actors, landscapes, and bird-and-flower compositions?alongside depictions of sumo wrestlers, kabuki actors, or enticing courtesans?rock stars who populated the “floating world” and whose fan bases fueled the frenzied production of woodblock prints. We delve into the horrifying and the obscure in prints where demons, ghosts, man-eaters, and otherworldly creatures torment the living?stunning images that continue to influence Japanese manga, film, and video games to this day. We witness how, in their incredible breadth, from everyday scenes to erotica, the martial to the mythological, these works are united by the technical mastery and infallible eye of their creators and how, with tremendous ingenuity and tongue-in-cheek wit, publishers and artists alike fought to circumvent government censorship. This two-volume edition in a box, crafted with traditional Japanese binding, presents reproductions of the finest extant impressions from the vaults of museums and private collections across the globe. Stunning fold-outs invite us to study even the subtlest details, while extensive descriptions guide us through this frantic period in Japanese art history.

100 Movies of the 1960s


Positioned precariously between the uptight '50s and the freewheeling '70s, the 1960s marked a transitional decade in the film industry. As art, mass market, and pop culture merged and collided in true pop art style, cinema swirled with psychedelic energy. This handbook gathers the best films of the era, exploring the making and the mastery of such cinematic star turns as The Leopard, The Birds, Belle de Jour, A Fistful of Dollars, and Doctor Zhivago. With audiences ever more glued to their TV sets and the loosened rules about what was "permissible" in cinema with the abolition of the Production Code, filmmakers embraced the freedom to explore the possibilities of film as an art form. As was often the case, the Europeans led the way, the French with Nouvelle Vague directors like Godard and Truffaut, and the Italians with such innovative films as Fellini's 8 1/2 and Antonioni's Eclipse. By the mid-'60s the United States also began to exercise greater creative liberties, especially in films from young underground directors such as Russ Meyer, John Frankenheimer, and Sam Peckinpah. Meanwhile, Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music ushered out the grandiose Hollywood musical era with a bang while the Spaghetti Western became an instant phenomenon, and Kubrick set new standards for sci-fi with 2001: A Space Odyssey. Though the term "feminism" may not have been ready for prime time, the decade was also one of major advances in female characterization. From Jane Fonda's Barbarella to Holly Golightly of Breakfast at Tiffany's to Bonnie Parker of Bonnie and Clyde, it was the 1960s that saw women on-screen graduate from decorative accessories to complex, kick-ass personas.

Divadlo a tridsať rokov samostatnej Slovenskej republiky


Zborník príspevkov z konferencie Divadlo a tridsať rokov samostatnej Slovenskej republiky – Ako sme sa hľadali, ktorá sa konala 15. a 16. novembra 2023 v Divadelnom ústave. Autorom úvodu nazvanom Nejubilejné poznámky je historik Ivan Kamenec. Okrem iného v ňom píše: „Možno, že je to paradox, no zatiaľ viac informácií o okolnostiach a súvislostiach vzniku dnešnej Slovenskej republiky prináša nie odborná historická spisba, ale memoárová literatúra, individuálne spomienky (hoci nie vždy vierohodné) aktívnych alebo iba pasívnych súčasníkov daných udalostí. Dôležitým, hoci historikmi dosť zanedbávaným alebo podceneným prameňom sú aj umelecké diela spisovateľov, filmárov, divadelníkov. Pravdaže, v takýchto prípadoch treba rešpektovať prípustnú mieru umeleckej licencie a tolerancie, ktorá nám historikom niekedy chýba. Nemožno totiž požadovať od umeleckého diela, aby opakovalo či nahrádzalo odbornú historickú publikáciu ani učebnicu dejepisu. Je to úplne iný literárny žáner so svojím špecifickým, no mimoriadne dôležitým poslaním, ktorý viditeľne prevyšuje vplyv odbornej historiografie na širšiu verejnosť.“ Teatrológovia a teatrologičky, kultúrne manažérky a riaditeľky inštitúcií vo svojich príspevkoch poukazujú na realitu vzťahu divadiel a zriaďovateľov. Iné príspevky zas na to, ako umelci reflektujú žitú realitu po roku 1993 a vyvíjajúci sa vzťah k národnej identite aj k bratskému českému národu. Zborník obsahuje jedinečné state o tvorbe divadiel (Divadlo Pôtoň Bátovce, Spišské divadlo v Spišskej Novej Vsi, Divadlo Lab VŠMU) o festivaloch (Divadelná Nitra, Nová dráma/New Drama), ale aj o konkrétnych tvorcoch. O svojom divadelnom uvažovaní píšu aj súčasný slovenský režisér a režisérka.
