Mark Sanders Knihy

Kniha „Dělat okna tam, kde dříve byly zdi“ se věnuje současné evropské figurativní malbě ze sbírky předního českého sběratele Roberta Runtáka. Je rozdělená do tří hlavních částí zpracovaných třemi autory, které se věnují jak stěžejním tendencím sbírky samotné, tak sběratelství a v neposlední řadě také osobě sběratele a jeho pomyslné cestě k sběratelství a umění jako takovému. Kniha má však i ambici k obecným přesahům. Především text britské historičky umění Jane Nealové Odcizený jedinec, ztráta sebe sama a otázka lidskosti je pozoruhodným exkurzem nejen do problematiky současné figurativní malby, ale také jistou úvahou nad současným stavem našeho bytí. Zaobírá se mimo jiné odcizením člověka a hledáním smyslu vlastní existence v kulisách dnešního světa, tak bytostně ovlivněného blahobytem...

"'Friday, 18 December, 1936. I went to my funeral this morning ... So begins the diary of Johnny Steadman, an ambitious reporter on London's Fleet Street. When he gets a tip-off about a Snow Hill policeman's death he thinks he's found the scoop that will make his career. Trouble is, no-one at the station seems to know anything about it ... or they're not telling. Johnny's one lead takes him to the meat market at Smithfield where he encounters violent death close up and personal. Undaunted by this chilling message, his investigation drags him deep into a web of corruption that reaches further than he could ever have imagined. Johnny must risk everything to save his closest friend and expose the ruthless killer at the heart of this dark story. But to bring them to justice he must first go undercover. Six feet undercover. After all, a dead man cannot be tried for murder ... '"--Publisher's description.

Over the past decade, the increasing use of technology and image manipulation within the fashion industry has led to an increase in the fantastical image, as much a product of the machine as it is a result of the imaginative faculties of its creators.

Selected from leading style titles based in New York, London and Paris and art directed by Robin Derrick, Art Director of British Vogue, The Impossible Image highlights the most innovative and thought-provoking use of digital technology and its implementation within the modern fashion shoot. Including work by Nick Knight, Norbert Schoerner, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Vincent Peters, Phil Poynter, Solve Sundsbo, Andrea Giacobbe, Stephane Sednaoul, Rankin, Mike Thomas, Lee Jenkins, Matt Alas and Marcus Piggott.The cover sequence, 'For Erin, Gisele, Karen, Maggie, Kate and Alec', photographed exclusively for the book by Nick Knight, features hidden profiles of six supermodels, each within a bouquet of flowers. It was digitally enhanced by Allan Finamore and Vim Jethwa of Core Ltd, London, with additional post-production by Howard Wakefield and Paul Hetherington, London.

"Why are you learning Zulu?" When Mark Sanders began studying the language, he was often asked this question. In Learning Zulu, Sanders places his own endeavors within a wider context to uncover how, in the past 150 years of South African history, Zulu became a battleground for issues of property, possession, and deprivation. Sanders combines elements of analysis and memoir to explore a complex cultural history. Perceiving that colonial learners of Zulu saw themselves as repairing harm done to Africans by Europeans, Sanders reveals deeper motives at work in the development of Zulu-language learning—from the emergence of the pidgin Fanagalo among missionaries and traders in the nineteenth century to widespread efforts, in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, to teach a correct form of Zulu. Sanders looks at the white appropriation of Zulu language, music, and dance in South African culture, and at the association of Zulu with a martial masculinity. In exploring how Zulu has come to represent what is most properly and powerfully African, Sanders examines differences in English- and Zulu-language press coverage of an important trial, as well as the role of linguistic purism in xenophobic violence in South Africa. Through one person's efforts to learn the Zulu language, Learning Zulu explores how a language's history and politics influence all individuals in a multilingual society.
