Mohammed Abed al-Jabri "Avoid the hudud Penalties when in Doubt" *

Obrázek
Since the modern Arab Awakening, which soon swept across the entire  Muslim world, with the efforts of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (d. 1897CE)  and Muammad ‘Abduh (d. 1905CE), the Muslim masses have used the  slogan of ‘application of Islamic shariah´ to propound to the masses,  the alternative which they hoped would take them to the enjoyment of a  free and honourable life.  Every member of the Muslim masses, all over the  world, aspires to the day when Islamic shariah will be applied in a manner  that can remove political and social injustice, realize freedom and dignity  for the human being, and pave the way to good deeds and noble  conduct in order for these principles to become the bases of life in Islamic  society, nay, in the whole of human society.

"Five tracts of Hasan Al-Banna (1906-1949): A selection from the Majmuat rasail al-Imam al-shahid Hasan al-Banna" Translated by Charles Wendell (University of California, 1978)

Obrázek
Hasan Al-Banna preceded with his work and thus left an imprint on many attempts in the years between the two wars, and especially after the Second World War, to constitute an Islamic order as the supreme political and social ideal. The publication under review contains his five studies translated into English by well-known Arabist and historian Charles Wendell. These are his most often cited essays - Between Yesterday and Today, Our Mission, To What Do We Summon Mankind?, Toward The Light and On Jihad. The main idea is always oriented toward the creation of an Islamic order (an-nizam al-islami). Hasan Al-Banna sees in Islam the only teaching that can ensure social progress and well-being and that is the key to the resolving of all basic problems of mankind. In the above-mentioned essays he tries to explain why, in his opinion, the establishment of an Islamic order is inevitable. According to his concept, there is only one valid law, namely the law of God that has to be impl...

V českém překladu vychází "Obraz a kult" od Hanse Beltinga

Obrázek
  foto: Hans Belting věnoval v roce 2015 Masarykově univerzitě část své knihovny         (více v rozhovoru @MUNI) V českém překladu vychází první kniha z trilogie Hanse Beltinga " Obraz a kult: Dějiny obrazu před érou umění ", vydané v roce 1990, kde Belting "usiloval od odpoutání  studia obrazu od  tradičních dějin umění. Samotný koncept "umění" v předmoderních kulturách neexistoval, a bylo tak zapotřebí pracovat při jeho studiu s úplně jiným metodologickým rámcem. " * Navazuje "Neviditelné dílo: Moderní mýty umění" (1998), ve kterém se "Belting naopak věnuje tomu, jak se obraz stal součástí moderního uměleckého mýtu." * Do češtiny přeloženo ale nebylo. Poslední z trilogie Beltingova nového pohledu na dějiny umění je " Antropologie obrazu: Návrhy vědy o obrazu " (2001, česky 2021), která je "jistou formou završení procesu přemýšlení nad obrazy a jejich studiem, který začal již v raných osmdesátých letech a pokračoval p...

"Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris" (1970), dokument, 26 min.

Obrázek
  A documentary portrait of James Baldwin, one of the towering figures of 20th-century American literature, Black culture and political thought, filmed in Paris. The iconic writer is captured in several symbolic locations in the city, where he was living at the time, including the Place de la Bastille. A meeting with James Baldwin doesn't quite go according to plan for a group of presumptuous white filmmakers in this Paris-set documentary short. (text IMDB) "Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris" (1970) Director/Writer: Terence Dixon  [James Baldwin]:  "I am still, for Europe, a savage. When a white man tears down a prison, he is trying to liberate himself. When I tear down a prison, I'm assumed to be turning into another savage. Because you don't understand... that you, for me, my prison. You are my warden. I am battling you. Not you, Terry. But you, the English, you, the French. A whole way of life, a whole system of thought... which has kept me in prison...
