Эта аудиокнига расскажет о том, как в христианской иконографии священное переплеталось с комичным, монструозным и непристойным. Многое из того, что сегодня кажется возмутительным святотатством, в Средневековье, эпоху почти всеобщей религиозности, было вполне в порядке вещей. Речь пойдёт об обезьянах на полях древних текстов, непристойных фигурах на стенах церквей и о святых в монструозном обличье. Откуда взялись эти образы, и как они связаны с последующим развитием мирового искусства? Первый...

In the 19th century, abolitionist and African-American periodicals printed thousands of poems by black men and women on such topics as bondage and freedom, hatred and discrimination, racial identity and racial solidarity, along with dialect verse that mythologized the Southern past. Early in the 20th century, black poets celebrated race consciousness in propagandistic and protest poetry, while World War I helped engender the outpouring of African-American creativity known as the «Harlem...

W Jaskini Obłazowej w Kotlinie Orawsko-Nowotarskiej odkryto ludzkie kości i bumerang wykonany z ciosu mamuta. Znalezisko to liczy około trzydziestu tysięcy lat, moglibyśmy więc ogłosić światu, że najstarszym bumerangiem na świecie rzucał Polak. Problem w tym, że Polska jako państwo liczy sobie niewiele ponad tysiąc lat, a i do tej tezy wielu historyków miałoby zastrzeżenia. Niemniej jest to historyczny bagaż, którego nie można lekceważyć. Co tak naprawdę łączy Polaków, na czym opiera się...

Race is, and always has been, an explosive issue in the United States. In this timely new book, Tim Wise explores how Barack Obama’s emergence as a political force is taking the race debate to new levels. According to Wise, for many white people, Obama’s rise signifies the end of racism as a pervasive social force; they point to Obama not only as a validation of the American ideology that anyone can make it if they work hard, but also as an example of how institutional...

Service providers, bureaucrats, and employers exhort them to be self-reliant, individualistic, and free, even as the system and the culture constrain them within terms of ethnicity, race, and class. Buddha Is Hiding tells the story of Cambodian Americans...

According to the account in the Book of Exodus, God addresses the children of Israel as they stand before Mt. Sinai with the words, «You shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation» (19:6). The sentence, Martha Himmelfarb observes, is paradoxical, for priests are by definition a minority, yet the meaning in context is clear: the entire people is holy. The words also point to some significant tensions in the biblical understanding of the people of Israel. If the entire people is holy,...
