Is the Commonwealth little more than a mirage -- as lacking in substance as the emperor's new clothes?
Richard Murphy Libri
Richard Murphy è stato uno dei poeti più illustri d'Irlanda, rinomato per i suoi versi che traggono ispirazione dal paesaggio e dalla storia dell'Irlanda occidentale. La sua poesia esibisce una forza classica, armonizzando un'elevata musicalità con semplicità, vigore e immediatezza nel suo confronto con il mondo dell'azione. Murphy possedeva un dono per l'oggettività epica, permettendo all'attualità degli eventi e alle sofferenze della storia di risuonare dietro le sue poesie, anziché affermare la propria personalità. La sua opera si pone come una testimonianza di una miscela magistrale di forma senza tempo e profonda intuizione.

The Panama Papers demonstrated that the superrich hide their wealth from the rest of us. Dirty Secrets shows that this was not by accident, but by design. It was the result of a powerful alliance of the wealthy, their advisers and the state that has undermined all attempts to solve the tax haven problem. This is because tax havens are the unacknowledged heart of globalized capitalism. Their purpose is to provide freedom from regulation. The exponents say this makes markets work and so we all gain. But this argument has now failed. Furthermore democracy itself is being threatened by the political fallout from the mistrust this regime has created. The result is that tax havens are now a threat to the very system that supposedly spawned it. Dirty Secrets is the most revelatory examination of the crisis by a leading expert, but also offers solutions on how governments can regulate havens and what the world might look like without them.
Kniha Richarda Murphyho, profesora německé a komparativní literatury a filmu na University of Sussex, analyzuje problematiku avantgardní literatury a filmu z výrazně soudobé pozice: ukazuje propojenost modernistických a/nebo avantgardních konceptů s postmoderními způsoby výkladu. Propojuje první vlnu reflexe, vytvářenou W. Benjaminem či T. Adornem, s přístupy Lyotardovými, Habermasovými či Eagletonovými, jak byly postupně formulovány od 60. let do současnosti. Konkrétní analýzou literárních děl Döblinových, Bennových a Kafkových či filmů německého expresionismu reviduje tradiční přístupy k avantgardnímu umění a postuluje závěry, které provokují k dalšímu domýšlení. Kniha vychází jako první svazek edice Cesta avantgardy.
