Budoucnost je skryta v přítomnosti / The Future Is Hidden in the Present
Československá architektura po druhé světové válce prošla radikální proměnou. Byly na ni kladeny nové politické a společenské požadavky, došlo k transformaci její institucionální struktury a v architektonických kruzích byla reformulována aktuální témata a problémy. Publikace se soustředí na proměny definice socialistické architektury, jejích hlavních úkolů i představ o podobě vystavěného prostředí komunistického světa zítřka v období od poloviny čtyřicátých do konce osmdesátých let. Sleduje, jak se na tomto procesu podíleli političtí reprezentanti, samotní architekti i zástupci dalších institucí včetně stavebních podniků a jak probíhalo jejich vzájemné vyjednávání. V centru zájmu autorů a autorek jednotlivých kapitol nestojí proměny forem či konstrukčních postupů ani osudy konkrétních osobností, ale zaměřují se na způsoby, jakými architekti reagovali na proměnlivé společenské zadání a jakými se je pokoušeli aktivně ovlivňovat. Grafika Tereza Hejmová a Kristýna Žáčková. Kniha vychází v česko-anglické verzi za podpory Ministerstva kultury České republiky v rámci Programu aplikovaného výzkumu a vývoje národní a kulturní identity (NAKI II).

Is It Ever Just Sex?
'It was just sex.'
It's a familiar claim. But is it really possible?
The old idea that sexuality is a smouldering, animalistic force within us, desperate for release yet restrained by social forces, has little to support it. Bodies aren't just sticks that make fire when you rub them together, and the pain, heartache, and regret that can accompany the highs of sexual excitement show us that much more is at stake.
So, what are we really thinking about when we think about sex? And what are we really doing when we do it?
As acclaimed psychoanalyst Darian Leader argues, with his trademark clarity, energy and wit, there is no such thing as 'just sex'. It is always about so much more than that - about phantasy, anxiety, guilt, revenge, violence, love - and Leader draws on his analytic experience, historical research and case studies to explore their importance to every aspect of our sexual lives.
