Scale in Contemporary Sculpture: Enlargement, Miniaturisation and the Life-Size
The first book to devote serious attention to questions of scale in contemporary sculpture, this study considers the phenomenon within the interlinked cultural and socio-historical framework of the legacies of postmodern theory and the growth of global capitalism. In particular, the book traces the impact of postmodern theory on concepts of measurement and exaggeration, and analyses the relationship between this philosophy and the sculptural trend that has developed since the early 1990s. Rachel Wells examines the arresting international trend of sculpture exploring scale, including American precedents from the 1970s and 1980s and work by the 'Young British Artists'. Noting that the emergence of this sculptural trend coincides with the end of the Cold War, Wells suggests a similarity between the quantitative ratio of scale and the growth of global capitalism that has replaced the former status quo of qualitatively opposed systems. This study also claims the allegorical nature of scale in contemporary sculpture, outlining its potential for critique or complicity in a system dominated by quantitative criteria of value. In a period characterised by uncertainty and incommensurability, Wells demonstrates that scale in contemporary sculpture can suggest the possibility of, and even an unashamed reliance upon, comparison and external difference in the construction of meaning.

Micsoda szajhák voltak
Micsoda szajha, cafka, céda… Az ilyen és ehhez hasonló jelzőkkel rendre bélyegeznek meg nőket. Boleyn Anna, a Nagy Szajha; Kleopátra, a Szajhakirálynő; Marie Antoinette, az Osztrák Szajha; I. Erzsébet, az Angol Szajha. Hogy csak néhány ismert asszonyt említsünk; uralkodókat, művészeket, mecénásokat, szellemi vezetőket találhatunk a soraikban…
Ezekben a nőkben két dolog közös. Egyrészt, nem engedték, hogy mások uralkodjanak testük és életük fölött, másrészt pedig nemet mondtak a nemüknek szánt sorsra. Nem hagyták, hogy a férfitársadalom azokra a szerepekre korlátozza őket, melyek a nők számára hagyományosan nyitva álltak: az anya és a feleség szerepére. Ők a maguk idejében és módján fenyegetést jelentettek a patriarchális társadalom működésére, ezért koruk vagy épp a történetírás, „leszajházta” őket.
Annak, hogy egyes nőket évezredek óta gyaláznak a szexualitásukon keresztül – és nemcsak férfiak, de gyakran nők is –, mélyen gyökerező, pszichológiai és kultúrtörténeti okai vannak, melyeket e kötetben ugyancsak igyekszünk bemutatni. Egy azonban leszögezhető: ez a fajta becsmérlés sosem a szexualitásról vagy épp az adott társadalom által preferált erkölcsök megszegéséről szól – hiszen a könyvben szüzekkel és hűséges feleségekkel egyaránt találkozhatunk –, sokkal inkább a hatalomról.
Arról a hatalomról, amely a saját teste és élete felett kontrollt gyakorló nőt megszégyeníteni, a többi nőt pedig elrettenteni próbálja. A szerzők ezen női sorsok bemutatásával is azt kívánják bizonyítani, hogy eme törekvések a múltban sosem vezettek sikerre, és azok kudarcra lesznek ítélve a jövőben is.
A gazdagon illusztrált kötet Budai Lotti és Zubor Rozi – Magyarország egyik legnépszerűbb podcastsorozatának, a Micsoda nők voltak!-nak a megalkotói – Micsoda történetek!-sorozatának második része. A nagy sikerű Micsoda anyák voltak után a szerzők ezúttal olyan rendkívüli nők életét tárják az olvasó elé, akikkel koruk vagy a történetírás méltatlanul bánt.

Nujeen - One Girl's Incredible Journey from War-Torn Syria in a Wheelchair
The story that is inspiring the world. Read about Nujeen who escaped the hell of war in Aleppo and travelled to Europe in a wheelchair. 'She is our hero. Everyone must read her story. She will inspire you' MALALA YOUSAFZAI Nujeen Mustafa has cerebral palsy and cannot walk. This did not stop her braving inconceivable odds to travel in her wheelchair from Syria in search of a new life. Sharing her full story for the first time, Nujeen recounts the details of her childhood and disability, as well as the specifics of her harrowing journey across the Mediterranean to Greece and finally to Germany to seek an education and the medical treatment she needs. Nujeen's story has already touched millions and in this book written with Christina Lamb, bestselling co-author of 'I Am Malala', she helps to put a human face on a global emergency. Trapped in a fifth floor apartment in Aleppo and unable to go to school, she taught herself to speak English by watching US television. As civil war between Assad's forces and ISIS militants broke out around them, Nujeen and her family fled first to her native Kobane, then Turkey before they joined thousands of displaced persons in a journey to Europe and asylum. She wanted to come to Europe, she said, to become an astronaut, to meet the Queen and to learn how to walk. In her strong, positive voice, Nujeen tells the story of what it is really like to be a refugee, to have grown up in a dictatorship only for your life to be blighted by war; to have left a beloved homeland to become dependent on others. It is the story of our times told through the incredible bravery of one remarkable girl determined to keep smiling.
