Paulo Freire: Education for Critical Consciousness (1973/2005)

Paulo Freire was Latin America’s foremost educationalist, a thinker and writer whose work and ideas continue to exert enormous influence in education throughout the world today. Education for Critical Consciousness is the main statement of Freire’s revolutionary method of education. It takes the life situation of the learner as its starting point and the raising of consciousness and the overcoming of obstacles as its goals. For Freire, man’s striving for his own humanity requires the changing of structures which dehumanize both the oppressor and the oppressed.

Occupy! An OWS-Inspired Gazette, 1 (2011)

“With the help of Astra Taylor (Examined Life; Zizek!) and Sarah Leonard of Dissent and the New Inquiry, we’ve put together a history, both personal and documentary, and the beginning of an analysis of the first month of the occupation. Articles deal with the problem of the police; the history of the “horizontalist” management structure at OWS; how to keep a live-in going when what you’ve tried to shut down refuses to shut down (like Harvard, or Wall Street); on whether the Fed should be abolished; on where that Citibank arrest video came from; on occupations in Oakland, Philadelphia, Atlanta; on what happens next; and more.

It’s an attempt to begin to think through what is happening, written by people both on the ground and across the river. We hope you’ll read it and discuss it with us. There’s a lot more thinking and doing to do.” (authors)

Tomáš Pospiszyl: Srovnávací studie (2005) [Czech]

“V knize Srovnávací studie autor upozorňuje na rozdílnost zdánlivě podobných uměleckých děl nebo teoretických myšlenek, které sice vznikaly současně, ale na různých stranách železné opony. Ukazuje, v čem se lišili kritici Jindřich Chalupecký a Clement Greenberg, rozdíly mezi díly socialistického realismu a malířem Normanem Rockwellem, srovnává mírové manifesty Jana Lukeše, Vladimíra Boudníka a Milana Knížáka, přibližuje vztahy Jana Kotíka a Pravoslava Rady k Situacionistické internacionále a vyvrací mýty o východoevropském minimalismu. Resumé do angličtiny přeložil Jeff Buehler. Reprodukce na obálce Ján Mančuška.”
