Steppin into Asia#orientalismus 09 Jonáš Vlasák + Filip Kaas: Orientalismus alafranga a alaturkaANOTACE
Podobně jako se Istanbul rozkládá na pomezí Evropy a Asie, považuje osmanský intelektuál Ahmed Midhat Efendi Osmanskou říši po období tanzimatu za společnost, která se neztotožňuje ani s evropskou ani s islámskou civilizací. S pomocí cestopisů, žánru bohatého na stereotypy a jejich střetávání, se na tuto liminální pozici podíváme ze dvou úhlů: 1) českých cestovatelů po Osmanské říši/Turecku; 2) osmanských cestovatelů po Orientu (a případně Okcidentu) a podíváme se, jakým způsobem se vypořádávali cestovatelé se stereotypy, se kterými se po dané imaginární geograf...

Porter, “Genetics in the Madhouse: The Unknown History of Human Heredity” (Princeton UP, 2018)In Genetics in the Madhouse: The Unknown History of Human Heredity (Princeton University Press, 2018), Theodore Porter uncovers the unfamiliar origins of human genetics in the asylums of Europe and North America. Rather than beginning his story with Gregor Mendel or 1909, the date when Wilhelm Johannsen coined the term “gene,” Porter takes us back to King George III.
