Beyond the Green Transformation
Until very recently, the climate crisis was considered the most serious and urgent challenge facing contemporary societies. There was widespread agreement that a comprehensive green transformation is necessary to address the planetary emergency, secure the survival of humanity and facilitate a good life for all. Yet, suddenly, ecological issues have slipped down the political agenda. Conservatives welcome 'the end of the green hegemony', the far-right rallies against eco-emancipatory policies, and an authoritarian turn that once again champions fossil fuels is gaining momentum across the world. This book examines the causes of this dramatic change of course. It reminds us that in environmental politics, social norms and cultural values ?are as important as biophysical facts. Even if the scientific evidence on climate change and the collapse of biophysical systems is clear, the supposedly categorical imperatives presented by ecologists ultimately express a particular worldview. Ingolfur Blühdorn argues that the emancipatory logic itself is a key driver of the current collapse of the green project. He shows how this counter-cultural project was fraught with inherent contradictions. Eco-emancipatory movements themselves contributed to mainstreaming values, lifestyles and notions of self-determination that ultimately blocked the green transformation and propelled a postliberal turn. To many, eco-political ideals today appear more like a threat than a promise. A renaissance of fossil fuels, autocratic leadership, and strict policies of exclusion seem to offer a better future, beyond eco-emancipatory values and the scenarios of ecological collapse. But the transition to a postliberal modernity will benefit very few and make life brutish, nasty and short for many.
Dotyk osudu (Josie Quinnová 12)
Žena kľačí pri náhrobku, vietor ju ťahá za vlasy, no ona si ho nevšíma. Oči upiera k zemi, ústa má pootvorené v tichej modlitbe. Vosk stekajúci z jej studených modrých pier naznačuje, že je už príliš neskoro...
Prvý deň po Josinom návrate do práce nedopadne pre Josie dobre. Pátranie po nezvestnej Krystal Duncanovej, ktorá pred rokmi tragicky prišla o dcéru, sa skončí nešťastne. Jej telo nájdené na cintoríne a odkaz napísaný na jej ruke naznačujú, že ide o vraždu. Keď zmizne ďalšia žena, ktorá prišla o dieťa, je jasné, že v meste vyčíňa vrah, ktorý sa zameriava na podpornú skupinu pre trúchliacich rodičov. Dokáže Josie Quinnová včas chytiť vraha a zachrániť ďalšie životy?
Páni nás sem presídlili
Chcete spoznať Škandináviu z trochu iného uhla? Zabudnite na fjordy či polárnu žiaru, pátrajte po príbehoch ľudí a po jazvách, ktoré v krajine zanechali dejiny. Elin Anna Labba skúma osudy severných Sámov, ktorým do cesty vstúpili nové hranice, a narušili ich prirodzené migračné koridory. Spôsob ich života sa pre moderné štáty stal prežitkom. A keďže nomádi sú podľa definície ľudia, ktorí putujú z miesta na miesto, úrady si mysleli, že ich môžu jednoducho presunúť. Kniha Páni nás sem
presídlili je nezvyčajne poetickou reportážou o bolestivých osudoch severnej Európy.
V tejto knihe sa dozvieš:
– ako žili severní Sámovia pred nútenými presídleniami a ako prijali rozhodnutie, že musia opustiť svoje domovy
– ako vyzerali ich každoročné presuny medzi letnými a zimnými pastvinami
– prečo mnohí Sámovia o tejto temnej histórii dlhé roky mlčali a až ich potomkovia sarozhodli rozprávať
– či sa dá celá stará kultúra jednoducho „presťahovať“ na nové miesto, najmä ak je založená na migrácii a pamäti predkov
– ako na Sámov vplývali ich nové pôsobiská, kde sa cítili nechcení a ako to ovplyvnilo ďalšiegenerácie
– v čom sú tieto príbehy univerzálne a aktuálne aj dnes
Nehodili sa do modernej doby, ktorá prichádzala. Nehodili sa do sveta, ktorý rozdelili nové hranice. Pred viac ako sto rokmi sa Nórsko osamostatnilo a Sámovia, pôvodní obyvatelia ďalekého európskeho severu, ktorí sa po stáročia voľne pohybovali so svojimi sobmi medzi letnými a zimnými pastvinami, sa zrazu stali tŕňom v oku. Boli považovaní za cudzí prvok, prežitok, a navyše – nórski poľnohospodári potrebovali pôdu. Preto v roku 1919 Švédsko a Nórsko uzavreli dohodu o obmedzení migrácie zvierat a ľudí medzi oboma krajinami. Takto vyzerá pozadie jednej z temnejších kapitol moderných severských dejín. S cieľom vykoreniť kočovné zvyky Sámov nariadili švédske úrady v rámci „dislokácie“ premiestnenie chovateľov sobov z ďalekého severu do južnejších oblastí. Bol to brutálny zásah do životov kočovných Sámov. Ak je totiž niekto nomádom, neznamená to, že nemá domov a môže žiť kdekoľvek ho postavíte. Nomád skrátka len putuje medzi svojimi domovmi.
Kniha Páni nás sem presídlili zobrazuje dramatické a tragické udalosti späté s presídľovaním Sámov: stratu sobov, ktoré naďalej inštinktívne putovali na sever, odchod sámských detí k príbuzným, rozpad celých rodín i systematickú rasovú diskrimináciu. Elin Anna Labba zozbierala spomienky, fotografie, listy i úryvky z tradičných piesní – jojkov, aby skúsila vyrozprávať hlboký a osobný príbeh ľudí, ktorí prišli o všetko, no napriek tomu neprestali veriť, že raz znovu uvidia svoj domov.
Kniha Páni nás sem presídlili vychádza v preklade Adriany Gondárovej.

Wings to Fly: Frida Kahlo
'I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.'
For many she represents triumph over suffering, but to Frida Kahlo, life, body and art were entirely intertwined.
Kahlo – friend, lover, teacher, patient, survivor, revolutionary – endured polio and scoliosis as a child, and then, at the age of 18, survived a catastrophic bus accident. Over the next 19 years she was to undergo over thirty surgeries. Yet her work, her magical, jewel-coloured paintings, her heartfelt, visceral art, continued to flow.
Using new translations from her diary, letters and interviews, Wings to Fly juxtaposes Kahlo’s paintings with her writings, and illuminates links between the personal and universal, the physical and imaginative, the pain and resolve – to truly inspire.
'Feet what do I need them for, if I have wings to fly?'
