Jorn + Munch is the first publication to examine the enduring impact Edvard Munch (1863-1944) had on Asger Jorn (1914-1973). In Munch's later works, Danish artist Jorn discovered an artist with a direct, spontaneous, and raw form of expression. Already influenced by surrealism's unprompted painting style, Jorn was naturally drawn to Munch's similarly unbridled compositions. In particular, Jorn was interested in Munch's use of intense colors and his gestural application of paint in the later works. From the middle of the 1940s, and for many years after that, Munch is shown to be a challenging and important reference point for Jorn's own body of work.

Is it possible to create a community where everyone lives according to their own rhythm, and yet respects the individual rhythms of others? This volume contains new essays which investigate and actualize the concepts that Roland Barthes discussed in his famous 1977 lecture series on „How to Live Together“ at the Collège de France. The anthology presents original and thought-provoking approaches to questions of conviviality and „idiorrhytmic life forms“ in literature, arts and other media. The essays are written by 32 highly competent scholars from seven countries, representing literary studies, philosophy, social sciences, theology, church history, psychoanalysis, art history, architecture, media studies, history of ideas, and biology.

Román tak trochu detektívny, tak trochu sci-fi, plný napätia, s originálnou zápletkou a nečakaným rozuzlením. Smilla je vedec - glaciológ, t.j. odborníčka na sneh, z jeho farby, štruktúry, zloženia dokáže zistiť a interpretovať údaje pre laika nedostupné. Vďaka svojmu grónsko-americkému pôvodu má slečna Smilla nevídané vlastnosti, ktoré jej pomôžu pri pátraní po príčinách smrti malého zanedbaného syna susedky - alkoholičky, pre ktorého bola Smilla snáď jedinou blízkou dušou. Súčasťou príbehu sú pre nás zaujímavé informácie o politicko-ekonomickom postavení Grónska voči "materskému" Dánsku.
