Voices of Nature. Life is a Story - story.one
What if nature had a voice, a language of its own that goes unheard due to our human blindspot? This volume gathers thirteen stories that invite us to explore the intricate dance of life unfolding all around us, hidden within our daily interactions. In each story, we'll encounter the science and spirit of the natural world, brought to life through rich descriptions that blur the lines between the human and the nonhuman. As you turn the pages, you'll find yourself drawn into a realm where rocks, winds, birds, crickets, fire, and water each carry their unique narratives, interwoven with the human experience. "Voices of Nature" extends an invitation to perceive the world anew, to attune our senses to the tales whispered by nature. It's an opportunity to contemplate existence from the standpoint of a thing, transcending mere humanity. What is it like to be a thing? Prepare to embark on a transformative journey that highlights the profound connections that exist between all living things.
Self-Help in the Digital Age
In an age where science and technology hold sway and the humanities face a crisis, this book explores the evolving role of literature. It delves into how American self-help culture shapes contemporary ideals of success, mindfulness, and happiness, with a particular focus on its influence in science communication, notably in TED talks. Moreover, it underscores the enduring relevance of literature in the digital era by analyzing speculative novels that challenge established norms, including those propagated by TED. These novels include Richard Powers' Generosity: An Enhancement, Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy and Gary Shteyngart's Super Sad True Love Story. They question the Western prefe...
Transhumanism and Posthumanism in Twenty-First Century Narrative
Transhumanism and Posthumanism in Twenty-First Century Narrative brings together fifteen scholars from five different countries to explore the different ways in which the posthuman has been addressed in contemporary culture and more specifically in key narratives, written in the second decade of the 21st century, by Dave Eggers, William Gibson, John Shirley, Tom McCarthy, Jeff Vandermeer, Don DeLillo, Margaret Atwood, Cixin Liu and Helen Marshall. Some of these works engage in the premises and perils of transhumanism, while others explore the qualities of the (post)human in a variety of dystopian futures marked by the planetary influence of human action. From a critical posthumanist perspective that questions anthropocentrism, human exceptionalism and the centrality of the ‘human’ subject in the era of the Anthropocene, the scholars in this collection analyse the aesthetic choices these authors make to depict the posthuman and its aftereffects.
It Takes a Storyteller to Know a Storyteller
Exposing capital for the con artist and storyteller it is, the book shows how the post-millennial novels of William Gibson, Douglas Coupland, and Dave Eggers work to dismantle the fictions (or illusions) capitalist globalization spurs and continues to rely on.

FILIP
Katalog prac towarzyszący wystawie Filipa Dziubka, studenta Wydziału Grafiki Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie. Filip miał wyjątkową pasję twórczości. Żył pytaniami i wewnętrznym dialogiem. Miał siłę obrazowania myśli trudnych. Tworzył prace mocne, czasem przerażające. Filip jak niewielu studentów kochał ideę Akademii Sztuk Pięknych, widać to dobitnie w jego aktach: obrony budynku przez palenie własnych obrazów a także w ufnym poddaniu ocenie, ojcom akademii, projektu dyplomowego „Pojedynek”. Symboliczny i wieloznaczny tytuł jest wyrazem bezkompromisowego zmagania się samego ze sobą w pojedynkę szukając jedynego wyrazu istoty rzeczy bo tylko w ten sposób na końcu drogi znajduje się pełnię. Wystawa jest próbą uznania Jego odwagi i niebywałej wrażliwości do mówienia o znaczeniu tego co robimy.
