Kdy je obraz a co je umění. Metastruktura obrazivosti


Publikace se snaží nastolit „pragmatický“ přístup k výtvarnému umění a tvorbě obrazů. Ty zde nejsou představovány primárně jako estetický objekt, jímž se jeví na úrovní osobního chápání, ale jsou s mnoha důkazy zkoumány jako významný a ničím jiným nezastupitelný sociální proces, nezbytný k vynalézání a testování nových obrazových znaků, potřebných pro zvládnutí nových sociálních kontextů. Takto založený koncept obrazu, výtvarného umění, jeho teorie a dějin, včetně jeho pedagogiky, zde představuje tuto oblast jako ucelený systém s jistou funkcionalitou a směřováním, mnohdy v protikladu k mínění, že nic takového v umění hledat nelze, neboť nejcennější na něm je jeho nezaměřenost a jeho svoboda, usilování o nezávislost jeho existence a maximalizace jeho estetického účinku, které v kantovské tradici jakýkoli další účel vylučují. V tomto kontextu však už nestačí učit se pouze užívání (kritice) těchto vizuálních znaků jako takových, ale je třeba porozumět celému procesu, v němž znaky vznikají a jsou socializovány. Při tomto zkoumání se postupně vyjevují některé souvislosti, vázané na rehabilitaci pojmu struktura v pojetí Jana Mukařovského - strukturní představa o vývoji umění a o jeho funkčním, pragmatickém začleňování do aktivního fungování society; představa o obraze, o zobrazení jako postupně se vyvíjející struktuře vizuálních znaků (což znamená také ovšem i navyšující se množství jejich vzájemných vztahů!), funkčně směřující skrze individuálně podmíněné jedinečné vnímání a poznávání k sociální kooperaci a koordinaci. Klíčová slova: výtvarné umění, obraz, struktura, interaktivita, sociální kooperace a koordinace. The publication aims to introduce a “pragmatic” approach to visual arts and the creation of images. It presents images not primarily as aesthetic objects, which they seem to be through subjective perception; instead, it uses a body of evidence to examine images as a significant social process that cannot be substituted by anything else and that is essential for the inventing and testing of new visual signs required to deal with new social contexts. This concept of image, visual art and its theory, history and pedagogy is used here to represent the entire area as a coherent system with a certain functionality and orientation; in some parts this concept contradicts the opinion that nothing of that sort can be sought in art because the most valuable aspect of art is its absence of focus, its freedom and striving for an independent existence and for a maximisation of its aesthetic effect, which, in line with the Kantian tradition, rules out any other purpose. In this context, however, it is no longer enough only to learn how to use (or criticise) these visual signs as such; it is necessary to understand the entire process in which these signs are created and socialized. This examination process gradually reveals certain connections related to the restoration of the term “structure” as it was understood by Jan Mukařovský: a structural idea of the development of art and its functional, pragmatic integration into the active functioning of the society; an idea of image, or depiction, as a gradually evolving structure of visual signs (which also implies, of course, an increasing amount of their mutual relations!), functionally striving, through individually conditioned unique perception and cognition, for social cooperation and coordination. Keywords: visual art, image, structure, interaction, social cooperation and coordination.

Gods of Jade and Shadow


Inspired by Mexican folklore, Gods of Jade and Shadow is a magical, wildly imaginative coming-of-age tale for fans of Katherine Arden, Naomi Novik and Helene Wecker. The Jazz Age is in full swing, but it's passing Casiopea Tun by. She's too busy scrubbing floors in her wealthy grandfather's house to do anything more than dream of a life far from her dusty, small town in southern Mexico. A life she could call her own. This dream is impossible, distant as the stars - until the day Casiopea opens a curious chest in her grandfather's room and accidentally frees an ancient Mayan god of death. He offers her a deal: if Casiopea helps him recover his throne from his treacherous brother, he will grant her whatever she desires. Success will make her every dream come true, but failure will see her lost, for ever. In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed only with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey, from the jungles of Yucatan to the bright lights of Mexico City and deep into the darkness of Xibalba, the Mayan underworld.

My Slovakia - Exclusive Limited Edition


Traveler and photographer Filip Kulisev, Master QEP, FBIPP, has over the past decade become one of the world’s foremost photographers of natural scenery. In his twelfth book, My Slovakia, he returns to his native country and showcases its many places of remarkable natural beauty. Slovakia highlights its beauty and natural, cultural and historical treasures in many ways. The country benefits from its advantageous location in the heart of the Old Continent, which over the centuries has been a crossroads for many nationalities. Perhaps that is the reason I find its more out-of-the-way places as impressive as better-known attractions elsewhere in the world. The colorful sea of purple clover near Lipová hardly looks less beautiful than the lavender fields of Provence. Roháče and Kriváň are as uniquely reflected on the surface of calm Liptovská Mara as Denali appears on the waters of an Alaskan lake. Likewise, this land surprises me with its many castles and palatial manors blending in with the surrounding landscape, like Spiš Castle, the largest medieval castle complex in Central Europe. As I wander across the country with growing frequency, I have also discovered its beauty from above. My drone has given me views and angles I could never achieve while standing on solid ground. I am pleased to have the opportunity to share Slovakia with you. It’s well worth it!

Both are lonely and disillusioned. Each is increasingly certain that if the human race is to have any future, all must betray their countries...
