"Социалната функция на изкуството е изчерпана в елитарните и консуматорски пози на креативния потребител, апотеозно честващ експертни статуси и високи морални позиции. Струва ни се, че съвременните автори, ако въобще има такива, изцяло са интернализирали дисциплиниращите дискурси на литературната, научната и политическата власт. Подобно на Фуко откриваме надежда в технологиите на себе си, фиксиращи обаче не дистанциите спрямо властовите центрове, но най-вече спрямо подмяната на екзистенциално-метафизичните търсения, на крайностите на човека, на граничните образи и езици с оправданията на техните тотални отсъствия в ... |

To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story. For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. ... |

Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a "heroine whom no one but myself will much like", but Emma is irresistible. "Handsome, clever, and rich", Emma is also an "imaginist", "on fire with speculation and foresight". She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding. ... |

It is a rollicking tour de force through an England on the brink of the Victorian era. Reform of government, justice and commercial life are imminent, as are rail travel, social convulsion and the death of deference, but Pickwick sails through on a tide of delirious adventure, fortifying us for the ... |
