The literature that grew from this other past was decidedly modern, and its inspiration came from 19th-century and early 20th-century Europe, especially from France. Though the Ottoman rulers had begun to become westernised, the new nation presented itself in opposition to the Ottoman past in policies, dress, writing, manners and speech, and Atatürk himself sought in neglected local traditions a different history from the one the Ottoman rulers had long chosen. T he invention of Turkey in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his fellow officers entailed an imaginative severing from its Ottoman roots. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Praise for the Book: “Adrienne Marie Brown dives deep, head first, into a fast swirling pool of pleasure-related topics. Books that find the opportunity in every crisis! Together they cover a wide array of subjects–from sex work to climate change, from race and gender to sex and drugs–building new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always has a complex politics of its own.īuilding on the success of her popular Emergent Strategy, brown launches a new series of the same name with this volume, bringing readers books that explore experimental, expansive, and innovative ways to meet the challenges that face our world today.

Autorica tekstom i crtežima oblikuje onaj sablasni i teško izrecivi višak materijalne strane ljudske egzistencije, dok smještanje priča u razdoblje tranzicije u Hrvatskoj dodatno pojačava njihov jezivi efekt. To je svijet koji Maša Kolanović istražuje u svojoj maestralnoj zbirci priča Poštovani kukci. Dubrovnik koji je postao kulisa, umiveno ustaštvo na ulicama Zagreba, potrošnja koja nadomješta ljudskost, majčinstvo o kakvom nije pristojno govoriti, banke kao sablasni stupovi naših života, emocije kakve ne viđamo u reklamama, a osjećamo ih tako snažno. ![]() |
