General George S. Patton and his influence on the development of the Second World War
No full textTéma mé bakalářské práce je věnováno americkému generálu Georgi S. Pattonovi, Jr. a jaký vliv měla jeho přítomnost na vývoj Druhé světové. Byl to bez pochyby jeden z nejlepších vojevůdců vůbec v celé historii moderních dějin. S trochou nadsázky lze říci, že Patton byl nejúčinnější zbraň spojeneckých vojsk během bojů v 2. Světové válce. Práce je rozdělena na tři hlavní části. První z nich pojednává o Pattonově původu, jeho raných let strávených s rodinou na Lake Vineyardu. Zahrnuje také kapitoly jeho nelehkých studijních let, které mu byly ztíženy dyslexií, kterou od mala trpěl. Závěr první části je věnován Pattonově účasti v 1. Světové válce a létům v období meziválečném, roky, které pro něj byly utrpením. Druhá část je věnována období Druhé světové války a Georgovo působení v ní. Popisuje Pattonovo velení v Severní Africe, odkud se přemístil do Evropy a začal své tažení na Italském ostrově Sicílie. Téměř po roce pokračoval z Francie a skončil až za Plzní. Odtud mu nebylo povoleno pokračovat dál. V poslední části je rozebráno, jaké přínosy si můžeme vzít z Pattonova velení vůbec za jeho celou kariéru. A ne jen velení v bojích, ale řízení cvičení a cvičných operací. Mezi jeho přednosti patřila především rychlost, kterou byl schopen se svými muži postupovat a ničit nepřítele.Katedra anglického jazykaObhájenoThe object of my thesis is the famous American, George S. Patton, Jr. He was one of the most redoubtable generals in World War II. This work is divided into three parts. The first deals with Patton?s roots, including his ancestors, and how and when they arrived to the American continent. It continues with Patton?s educational life at Virginia Military Institute and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Included is also the mention of his operation in Mexico and his subsequent entrance to World War I. The first section of the thesis ends by Patton?s life at inter-war period. The second section of the thesis pertains to the Second World War and Patton?s performance there. It is divided on the basis of his most important landings which begin in North Africa. From there he moved to Europe, specifically to Sicily. After almost one year his movements continued in Europe. From France his movements moved in an easterly direction. Due to political reasons the movement was stopped a few kilometres behind the West Bohemian metropolis, Pilsen. The last section speaks of Patton?s contribution to the army. There are discussed the findings which can be contributive for next generations of generals and commanders

Charley Patton med sakralnim in profanim
No full textThe article introduces Charley Patton’s religious songs on 78 rpm gramophone records recorded in the period from 1929 to 1934. Almost all of Patton’s varied musical skills come out on those records. For example, the power of his music is often most evident in his spiritual and gospel work. The author writes about the divide between secular and sacred music in Afro-American culture and particularly in Patton’s legacy. The author was also mainly interested in crossing of that dividing line and in blending of various styles, and he ascertained that in his performances Patton easily crossed the line of separation between sacred and profane.Prispevek obravnava sakralne skladbe Charleyja Pattona, posnete med letoma 1929 in 1934 na gramofonskih ploščah z 78 o/min. Na njih so dokumentirane Pattonove številne glasbene značilnosti. Moč njegove glasbe je na primer pogosto najočitnejša v njegovih spiritualih in gospelih. Avtor preučuje ločnico med posvetno in sakralno glasbo v Pattonovi glasbeni zapuščini in širše v afroameriški kulturi, pri čemer se osredinja na prehajanja te ločnice in prepletanje glasbenih slogov ter ugotavlja, da se je Patton v glasbenih izvedbah zlahka sprehajal med sakralnim in posvetnim

The Gatewood Family, Frankfurt, Germany, 1948
No full textThe Gatewoods A photograph of the Gatewood family. Following the fall of the Nazi Government, Otis Gatewood was one of three missionaries from the United States of America that the U. S. Army allowed into Germany (Gatewood\u27s coworker Roy V. Palmer was one of the three, and the other, Gatewood neglected to mention the denomination from which that individual came in his book, Preaching in the Footsteps of Hitler). Gatewood established a base in Frankfurt, Germany and was initially concerned with coordinating relief and humanitarian aid for the German people. As the situation in Germany improved, however, Gatewood shifted his focus to evangelism and training German preachers. This photograph comes from a photo album put together by Katherine Patton, a missionary from a cappella Churches of Christ, during her work in Germany from 1948-1958.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/coc_missions_photos/2459/thumbnail.jp
Autoimmunities after COVID: An Interview with Cindy Patton
No full textCindy Patton is Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. An early AIDS activist in Boston, she holds a PhD in Communications from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. After inaugurating her academic career at Temple University (Rhetoric and Community) and Emory University (Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts), she accepted a Canada Research Chair in Community, Culture and Health at Simon Fraser (2003-15). In that capacity, she worked with more than two dozen groups to develop small community-driven projects related to HIV/AIDS, housing, social welfare, mental health, while achieving, culminating in the creation of the Community Health Online Digital Research Resource, a catalogued, open-access, full-text collection of the materials from those groups (www.chodarr.org). Her academic publications span the social study of medicine, especially AIDS; social movement theory; gender studies; and media studies. She is the coeditor of Queer Diasporas (2000) and a special issue of Cultural Studies on Pierre Bourdieu (2003). She is the author of such works as Globalizing AIDS (2002), Cinematic Identity: Anatomy of a Problem Film (1997), Fatal Advice: How Safe-Sex Education Went Wrong (1996), Inventing AIDS (1990), and LA Plays Itself/Boys in the Sand: A Queer Film Classic (2014).
Taken collectively, Patton’s scholarship and activism has laid the foundation for insights in the health humanities, particularly AIDS studies, that consider the inextricable connections between epidemiology and ideology. Patton’s theorizations of stigma and discrimination patterns, her deconstruction of “truth” discourses subtending science, her critical re-evaluations of axioms associated with risk, safe sex, community, and knowledge production have been crucial interventions in the understanding of health and illness as cultural and discursive scripts. Among Patton’s most enduring contributions has been her theorization of how “African AIDS” was invented and circulated—that is, the notion of geographically bifurcated HIV pandemics split by the essential linkage between Africa and blackness generally with pathogenesis. Equally influential has been her elaboration of the insurgent queer research practices that fused with antiracist struggle to combat this split.
In the interview below, Travis Alexander and Nishant Shahani engage Patton in a discussion on a range of topics—from (dis)continuities between the HIV/AIDS and COVID pandemics to the role of queer activism in forging epidemiological counter-publics and the geopolitics of medical bureaucracy
