Chris Fox Knihy

Jedna z nejinspirativnějších a nejvlivnějších knih o umění a vizualitě, která je právem považována za zakladatelskou klasiku oboru vizuálních studií. Poprvé vyšla v roce 1972, ale dodnes neztratila nic ze své břitké pronikavosti, s níž bezprostředně a srozumitelně zpřístupňuje základní vědění o obrazech a dívání, do té doby zastřené sofistikovanými mystifikacemi profesionálních teoretiků a kritiků. Sedm esejů (z nichž tři jsou čistě obrazové) se zabývá takovými tématy, jako jsou moderní reprodukce starých mistrů, zobrazováním ženské nahoty, vztahu vidění a moci anebo reklamou. Kniha Způsoby vidění (Ways of Seeing) britského kritika, spisovatele a výtvarníka Johna Bergera (nar. 1926) představuje klíčovou publikaci z oblasti teorie vizuální kultury. Oproti původní černobílé verzi český překlad, který nyní vychází vůbec poprvé, doprovází bohatý obrazový materiál v barvě.

As austerity measures have led to greater struggles over limited governmental funding, there has in recent years been increasing interest in Payment by Results, or Payment for Success, as a model for commissioning social services. A Social Impact Bond, or Pay for Success Bond, is a type of social service contract where the financing is provided by private entities, with the idea that this will unlock new capital investment and advance social good by limiting funding to projects that are needed and likely to succeed. This book looks at that assumption and evaluates the relatively limited current research on the effectiveness of the approach, making the case that more study is needed if investment of this sort is going to continue to grow.
