Many Pious Women
This work is of importance to anyone with an interest in whether women, especially Jewish Ashkenazic women, had a Renaissance. It details the participation in the Querelle des Femmes and Power of Women topos as expressed in this hagiographic work on the lives of biblical women including the apocryphal Judith. The Power of Women topos is discussed in the context of the reception of the Amazon myth in Jewish literature and the domestication of powerful female figures. In the Querelle our author pleads with husbands for generosity and respect for their wives’ piety. Whether women living in the Renaissance experienced a renaissance is a debate raging since Joan Kelly raised the possibility tha...

Palace of Knowledge
After the Revolution of 1848 the University of Vienna was moved away from the center of the city. Only after the city walls were razed in 1884 did the university acquire a new home on Ringstrasse in the immediate vicinity of the City Hall, Parliament and Court Theater. Once academic freedom had been attained and the educational system restructured on the basis of the Humboldtian model, the new university palace soon became a symbol of the emergence of modern science in Austria. A 'historical stroll' leads the reader through the important stations of the general history of the university, pointing to aspects of the architectural history of the building, the construction and artistic design. The book not only gives an impression of the historical rooms but also offers a glimpse behind the scenes. The striking constructional changes are described against the backdrop of the more than 120 years of rich history associated with the "house on the Ring".
Smrt a zmrtvýchvstání národa
Slavín jako fenomén, jako krystalizační bod dobového národního diskursu, v němž se přítomnost obrací k minulosti a v němž se na symbolické rovině v dlouhém 19. století konstruuje, vyjednává, formuje a legitimizuje národ a s ním spjatá podoba sociální reality – Slavín na Vyšehradě přitom zdaleka není první a jedinou národní svatyní. České národní slavíny mají své evropské obdoby a vzory. Ve snech o Slavíně i v jeho konkretizacích tak lze sledovat variabilitu a proměny představ národního společenství. Monografie se věnuje také narativu smrti a zmrtvýchvstání národa na pozadí části českých slavínů; pohřby a národními pomníky pak tento narativ vstoupil také do veřejného prostoru města. Kniha neopomíná funkční a kompoziční přesahy mezi architektonickými, performativními a literárními formami Slavína.
Kafka's Novels
Kafka's three novels, to be understood as an ever more intricate portrayal of the inner life of one central character (Henry James's 'centre of consciousness'), each reflecting the problems of their self-critical creator, are tantamount to dreams. The hieroglyphic, pictorial language in which they are written is the symbolic language in which dreams and thoughts on the edge of sleep are visualized. Not for nothing did Kafka define his writing as a matter of fantasizing with whole orchestras of [free] associations. Written in a deliberately enhanced hypnagogic state, these novels embody the alternative logic of dreams, with the emphasis on chains of association and verbal bridges between word...
