The Militant Muse - Whitney Chadwick

The Militant Muse documents what it meant to be young, ambitious and female in the context of an avant-garde movement defined by celebrated men whose educational, philosophical and literary backgrounds were often quite different from those of their younger lovers and companions. Focusing on the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, Whitney Chadwick charts five intense, far-reaching female friendships among the Surrealists to show how Surrealism, female friendship and the experiences of war, loss and trauma shaped individual women’s transitions from beloved muses to mature artists. Her vivid account includes the fascinating story of Claude Cahun and Suzanne Malherbe’s subversive activities in occupied Jersey, as well as the experiences of Lee Miller and Valentine Penrose at the frontline. Chadwick draws on personal correspondence between women, including the extraordinary letters between Leonora Carrington and Leonor Fini during the months following the arrest and imprisonment of Carrington’s lover Max Ernst at the beginning of World War Two, and the letter Frida Kahlo shared with her friend and lover Jacqueline Lamba years after it was written in the late 1930s during a difficult stay in Paris, marred by her intense dislike of Breton. Thoroughly engrossing, this history brings a new perspective to the political context of Surrealism, as well as fresh insights on the vital importance of female friendship to its artistic and intellectual flowering.Table of Contents1. The Alchemy of Desire: Valentine Penrose and Alice Rahon Paalen, India 19372. The Two Leonors: Leonora Carrington and Leonor Fini, Saint-Martin-d’Ardèche, 1938–413. ‘I Will Write to You with My Eyes’, Frida Kahlo and Jacqueline Lamba Breton, Mexico andParis, 1938–45 • 4. Soldiers without Names, Claude Cahun, Suzanne Malherbe and JacquelineLamba, Jersey, 1938–45 • 5. Wars without End, Lee Miller and Valentine Penrose, 1940–78

Přivedu vás zpět

Joachim Gerhard je německý občan, který žil normální život a vychovával své dva syny. Když bylo Jonasovi 21 a Lukasovi 17, rozhodli se konvertovat na muslimskou víru. Do té doby byli obyčejnými německými kluky, studovali, sportovali, chodili za holkama, popíjeli s kamarády... Pak se všechno změnilo, začali se modlit pětkrát denně, zavrhli sport i kamarády, radikalizovali se. A pak náhle zmizeli do "svaté války", do Sýrie.Pro jejich rodiče, ale hlavně tátu Joachima Gerharda začala noční můra. Rozhodl se, že přivede syny zpět. Cestuje po nebezpečných místech, své syny aktivně hledá, vyjednává s pašeráky lidí....Přidám můj soukromý dovětek. Jak to dopadlo neprozradím, ale musím napsat, že je to velmi silná kniha, která mne jako rodiče dospělých dětí nenechává klidnou. Kde se to v nich vzalo? Byli vzdělaní, neměli žádné kořeny s vazbou na islám a muslimskou víru, žili normální život s milujícími rodiči.... Může se to stát i mně?

Administratívnoprávna zodpovednosť právnických osôb

Základný prínos predkladanej monografie spočíva v analýze súčasného stavu právnej úpravy administratívnoprávnej zodpovednosti právnických osôb. V prvom rade sa venuje terminologickému vymedzeniu pojmu zodpovednosť a jeho rozličnému poňatiu nielen podľa jednotlivých právnych odvetví, ale aj podľa ponímania tohto právneho inštitútu v súkromnom práve a vo verejnom práve. Následne sa podrobne a fundovane venuje hmotnoprávnym aj procesnoprávnym aspektom vyvodzovania správnoprávnej zodpovednosti právnických osôb. Najväčší dôraz kladie na otázky spojené s ukladaním sankcií a iných negatívnych právnych dôsledkov spáchania správneho deliktu a na procesnú stránku vyvodenia zodpovednosti. V rámci nej neopomína ani aktuálne otázky spojené s prieskumom rozhodnutí nielen v správnom konaní, ale osobitne v správnom súdnom konaní podľa Správneho súdneho poriadku. Autor JUDr. Matej Horvat, PhD. pri písaní a formulovaní svojich záverov a odporúčaní vychádzal z dôslednej analýzy právnych predpisov, ktoré upravujú správne delikty právnických osôb, zo súvisiacej judikatúry slovenských správnych súdov a ďalších prameňov. Výnimočnosť publikácie spočíva v tom, že ide o prvé súborné spracovanie tejto problematiky v podobe monografie od vzniku samostatnej Slovenskej republiky.JUDr. Matej Horvat, PhD. ukončil v roku 2009 magisterské štúdium na Právnickej fakulte Univerzity Komenského v Bratislave, kde na Katedre správneho a environmentálneho práva obhájil v roku 2012 aj dizertačnú prácu. V súčasnosti na tejto katedre pracuje ako odborný asistent. Je aktívnym spoluriešiteľom viacerých grantov. Pôsobí vo viacerých rozkladových komisiách ústredných orgánov štátnej správy. Je spoluautorom komentára k zákonu o priestupkoch a viacerých učebných textov. Vo vedeckej práci sa venuje najmä správnemu trestaniu, právu na prístup k informáciám a všeobecnému správnemu konaniu. Výsledky jeho vedeckej práce boli prezentované na mnohých medzinárodných vedeckých konferenciách.
