Michael Jackson Knihy

Druhá kniha úspěšného autora Michaela Jacksona, nedávno zesnulého zpěváka a tanečníka, je nesmírně krásným, provokativně osobním pohledem na svět kolem nás a na vesmír v každém z nás. Ať se jeho próza a poezie zaměřuje na tvorbu, děti celého světa, či třeba potíže slona, jeho postřehy a starostlivé účastenství nám ozřejmí, že pro Michaela Jacksona jsou důvěra, láska a víra úhelným i kameny dobře prožitého života. Někteří lidé nevědí, jak mohou udělat svět lepším, zatímco jiní mají sny, které jsou tak mocné, že obsahují vize dotýkající se každého z nás. Tanec jako sen byl napsán Michaelem Jacksonem, člověkem s vizí.

Jediná autobiografie Michaela Jacksona. Autor vzpomíná na vcelku radostné dětství a začátek své kariéry, kdy vystupoval se svými bratry v amatérských soutěžích pod dohledem přísného otce. Popisuje tvrdou a namáhavou cestu ke slávě a rychlý vzestup na špičku světových žebříčků. Zpochybňuje pověsti o svém výstředním životě a odvážně bourá přísně střežené bariéry mlčení. Své vzpomínky bohatě dokreslil fotografiemi. České vydání knihy v roce 1990 spadalo do doby Jacksonovy největší slávy, doby, která předcházela mnohým skandálům kolem jeho osoby - sňatkům, chorobám, operacím a soudním procesům. Otevřená a odvážná kniha s důvěrným vylíčením veřejného i soukromého života je vlastním životopisem současného krále popu vydaným v USA v roce 1988.... celý text

Michael Jackson juxtaposes ethnographic and imaginative writing to explore intergenerational trauma and temporality, showing how genealogy becomes a powerful model for understanding our experience of being in the world.

A collection of essays which demonstrate the importance of phenomenological and existential ideas for anthropology. Emphasizing the link between the empirical and the experiential, this book explores the relationship between phenomenology and other theories of the lifeworld, such as existentialism, radical empiricism, and critical theory.

Inspired by existential thought, but using ethnographic methods, Jackson explores a variety of compelling topics, including 9/11, episodes from the war in Sierra Leone and its aftermath, the marginalization of indigenous Australians, the application of new technologies, mundane forms of ritualization, the magical use of language, the sociality of violence, the prose of suffering, and the discourse of human rights. Throughout this compelling work, Jackson demonstrates that existentialism, far from being a philosophy of individual being, enables us to explore issues of social existence and coexistence in new ways, and to theorise events as the sites of a dynamic interplay between the finite possibilities of the situations in which human beings find themselves and the capacities they yet possess for creating viable forms of social life.

Through sixty-one beautifully crafted, concise essays, the anthropologist Michael Jackson reflects on life situations where we are sometimes thrown open to new ways of understanding ourselves and connecting with others.

Covers the career of a popular music legend from the child star whose infectious lead vocals catapulted the Jackson 5 into the spotlight, to the feeding frenzy that surrounded the announcement of a new tour in Summer 2009. Michael Jackson had charisma. He was a flamboyant, a dazzling performer who owned the stage. His death rang down the curtain on a turbulent life, but did not end his reign as the King of Pop. He lives on through his extraordinary catalogue, which will ensure that his regal status is maintained.

The King of Pop's sudden death on 25th June 2009 shocked the world, and a glut of hastily written biographies quickly followed, but this book is different: this book is a revised and expanded edition of the no.1 best selling Michael Jackson book on amazon.com, in the days and weeks following his passing. Now, in response to numerous requests from Michael Jackson fans around the world, Cadman & Halstead have completely revised and expanded their best selling 'For The Record'. As well as detailing the hundreds of songs Michael was involved with over the years, solo and with his brothers, the second editions also focuses on the King of Pop's albums, his home videos, his films and short films, his books and his chart successes, and it includes complete USA & UK discographies.

Hannah Arendt argued that the “political” is best understood as a power relation between private and public realms, and that storytelling is a vital bridge between these realms—a site where individualized passions and shared perspectives are contested and interwoven. Jackson explores and expands Arendt’s ideas through a cross-cultural analysis of storytelling that includes Kuranko stories from Sierra Leone, Aboriginal stories of the stolen generation, stories recounted before the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and stories of refugees, renegades, and war veterans. Focusing on the violent and volatile conditions under which stories are and are not told, and exploring the various ways in which narrative reworkings of reality enable people to symbolically alter subject-object relations, Jackson shows how storytelling may restore existential viability to the intersubjective fields of self and other, self and state, self and situation.
