Bratislavský hrad na grafikách


Slovenské národné múzeum – Historické múzeum má vo svojich zbierkach vyše 1200 grafík rôznych tematických zobrazení a techník. Vynález kníhtlače, okrem zaznamenania písomného prejavu, umožnil aj značné rozšírenie obrazového materiálu. Vo veľkom sa začali vydávať rytiny oslavujúce panovníkov, mytologické výjavy a spoločenské udalosti alebo pohľady na mestá. V 16. storočí prišli do módy spracovania cestopisov s množstvom obrazovej prílohy zobrazujúcej krajiny a mestá, čo umožnilo spoznávať vzdialené končiny širšej populácii oveľa viac ako stáročia predtým. Jednou z takýchto veľkých publikácií, ktorá sa zaoberala aj územím Slovenska je Civitates orbis terrarum od G. Brauna a F. Hogenberga z roku 1572. Vďaka tejto knihe sa prvýkrát stretávame s vedutou Bratislavy, reálne zobrazujúcou budovy a vzhľad mesta. Od 17. storočia počet grafických zobrazení Bratislavy a hradu postupne rastie a vrchol dosahuje v 19. storočí, keď sa okrem tradičných celkových vedút mesta objavujú pohľady na jednotlivé časti mesta či významné budovy. Grafiky zobrazujúce Bratislavský hrad nám umožňujú sledovať premeny hradu od 16. storočia. Sú na nich zobrazené prestavby hradu uskutočnené Ferdinandom I., Pálfiovcami, Máriou Teréziou, ale aj stav hradného areálu po požiari v roku 1811. Od 19. storočia sa ruina Bratislavského hradu nezriedka predstavuje ako romantická spomienka na slávnu minulosť. Vďaka romanticky pôsobiacim prácam K. Frecha poznáme viaceré zákutia mesta, ako aj niektoré detaily hradných budov. S vynálezom fotografie však postupne upadá záujem o vydávanie rytín, napriek tomu sú hodnotným svedectvom doby a cieľom zberateľstva ako historický a umelecký dokument.

Predtým a potom


Predtým tu bola vízia skupiny nadšencov, ktorí chceli premeniť hlavné mesto Slovenska na modernú európsku metropolu. Dnes je tu Bratislava a jej primátor Matúš Vallo, ktorí ukazujú, že aj zdanlivo naivné sny možno pretaviť do citeľnej zmeny verejného priestoru. Publikácia Predtým a potom pozorne sleduje premenu mesta a dokazuje, že kvalitný verejný priestor nemá byť výnimkou, ale samozrejmosťou. Vidíme to okolo seba - v ikonických aj nenápadných zásahoch, od oživených námestí, ktoré boli kedysi hanbou mesta, cez nevyužité a zabudnuté plochy, ktoré dnes pulzujú životom a priťahujú mladých ľudí, až po drobné intervencie v uliciach: rozkvitnuté zákutia s lavičkami, na ktorých sa dá zastaviť a posedieť, aj dlažbu, po ktorej je radosť kráčať. Postupne tak vzniká obraz mesta, ktoré sa mení s jasnou víziou a dôrazom na každodennú skúsenosť jeho obyvateľov.

Dějiny evropské architektury V.


Kniha začíná ve Florencii analýzou staveb Filippa Bruneleschiho, dále hodnotí tvorbu Michelloza a dalších, zejména Albertiho, jenž jako první pochopil velikost římské imperiální architektury. Kolem 1500 se ohnisko dění přeneslo do Říma, kde působili architekti Bramante, Raffael, Peruzzi, Sangallo a Julio Romano, zatímco na severu Itálie pracovali Serlio, Sanmicheli, Sansovino a další. Proud započatý Albertim uzavírá Andrea Palladio. V Čechách se renesance prosadila na několika zámcích (Kacéřov, Nelahozeves), a později se stala obecnou kulturou doby (Slavonice, Telč). Kapitola o barokním umění začíná tvorbou Michelangela a jeho činností ve Florencii a zejména v Římě. V duchu tridentské reformy pracovali umělci Vignola, Porta a Maderna. Autor věnuje pozornost velkým astronomickým objevům doby, na něž reagovali architekti Bernini, Borromini a Quarini. Ti otevřeli cestu dalšímu vývoji, který na konci 17. století kulminoval v Podunají. V císařské Vídni na ně navázali architekti Fischer z Erlachu a Lukas Hildebrandt. Vývoj barokní architektury se uzavřel v Čechách v díle třech slavných architektů – Kryštofa a Kiliána Ignáce Dienzenhofera, jejichž současníkem a protipólem byl Giovanni Santini. Architektura 19. a 20. století začíná v Anglii barokním palladianismem, na nějž navázali tvůrci neopalladianismu a romantismu, jež vrcholí v neogotice. S rozvojem techniky se přistupuje k urbanistickým úpravám měst, v Mnichově a ve Vídni vzniká nový secesní sloh. Po první světové válce dochází k oproštění od historismů, oceňuje se věcnost a pravda, rodí se funkcionalismus. Mencl stručně zmiňuje hlavní tendence a nejvýznamnější architekty 20. století připomíná výmarský Bauhaus a ideál nové věcnosti i tendence konstruktivistů. Knihu uzavírá přehled Menclových životopisných dat včetně dobových fotografií a jeho kompletní bibliografie.

The Marilyn Monroe Century


The Marilyn Monroe Century is a lavishly produced tribute to Marilyn Monroe on her 100th birthday, documenting her transformation from Norma Jeane to Marilyn Monroe through never-before-seen photographs and diary entries by Bernard of Hollywood. This gift-ready coffee table book features a lenticular cover that brings an iconic moment to life, showing Monroe in motion. Published to commemorate Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday (June 1, 2026), this visual biography draws on never-before-seen photographs and personal diaries to reveal a more intimate portrait of the icon. Featuring rare photographs by Bruno Bernard, also known as Bernard of Hollywood, that have never been publicly released, the book traces the emotional and artistic evolution of Norma Jeane Mortenson into Marilyn Monroe. More than a collection of photographs, The Marilyn Monroe Century unfolds as a cinematic narrative. Bernard was the only photographer who witnessed and helped shape the full arc of Norma Jeane’s metamorphosis into Marilyn Monroe. Personal writings from Bernard, commentary from contemporary Hollywood voices, including Academy Award–winning director Sean Baker, and a foreword by actress, activist, and filmmaker Rose McGowan bring new emotional context to Marilyn’s journey, presenting the woman behind the icon in an unprecedented way. Authors Joshua John Miller, Bernard’s grandson, and Mark A. Fortin open Bernard’s archive for the first time to reveal the story of a lost friendship, of the appeal of fame and the drive to create the everlasting image of this American Dream. In 1999, The Museum of Modern Art declared Bernard's legendary photograph?Marilyn in White?capturing Monroe on the Twentieth Century Fox backlot as her white dress billowed above a subway grate?the symbol of the century. This single image defined 1950s Hollywood glamour and continues to echo across pop culture in songs, films, artwork, and more today. Appearing inset on this book's beautiful clothbound cover, a lenticular print re-creates this famous moment?the sudden lift of Monroe's skirt, which shifts as the book is tilted up and down. Bernard was not simply the creator of this iconic image; his role in Marilyn’s life was far more profound. A bond forged early in her career sparked an intimate dialogue between a young woman discovering herself and the photographer who recognized her potential long before the world did. His photographs and diary entries reveal a Marilyn rarely seen: playful, thoughtful, ambitious, and fully aware of the persona she was creating for herself. Joshua John Miller and Mark A. Fortin tell the family story behind the myth of Marilyn, through Bernard’s personal diaries and previously unpublished correspondence, as well as memories and personal perspectives. They chronicle the complex friendship between two outsiders who found solace in one another.

Marilyn: The Lost Photographs - The Last Interview


Marilyn Monroe’s final formal photo session and last interview have never been released in their entirety—until now. Completed in July 1962, just a month before her passing, the interview conducted by Richard Meryman was Marilyn at her most open and honest, and the photos by Allan Grant were the only ones ever taken in her home. Now, for the first time, you can read Marilyn in her own words and see her as the world has never seen her before. "A beautifully understated look at an American icon, as she probably wished she could have been seen.” --Library Journal In July 1962, Marilyn Monroe was at a crossroads. At thirty-six years old and embroiled in legal battles with the studio of her current picture, Something’s Gotta Give, she was struggling with fame, age, and a studio system in which she no longer fit. When she sat down to give Richard Meryman an interview, she had a lot to say. Originally intended to be an interview about fame, over the course of four hours Marilyn talked about her entire life. Only a small portion of the interview was published in LIFE Magazine. When she died, just two days after the article was published, Meryman put the full transcript and the original tapes in his files, never to see the light of day. Documenting this landmark interview was iconic photojournalist Allan Grant. His images of Marilyn would be her last formal photo shoot—in her home, in casual clothes, being the glorious, free spirit she was. Grant captured every emotion of the interview in these exquisite images, only eight of which were published alongside the LIFE interview excerpt. Most of the remainder of the images were stored in Allan’s safe, waiting to be rediscovered. Marilyn: The Lost Photographs • The Last Interview is Marilyn Monroe in her own words—words that haven’t been published, until now. In this recently restored and complete transcript, Marilyn candidly talks about her childhood and life, fame, the studio system, her approach to work, celebrity, being a sex symbol, and more. At times joyous, silly, serious, philosophical and pensive, it is a Marilyn that the world has never experienced. Accompanying the interview are more than 400 of Grant’s extraordinary images, most never published until now. This beautifully produced book offers readers a glimpse into Marilyn’s mindset during her final month as she began to assert control of her career and address her relationship with celebrity. Deepening the understanding of Marilyn’s talents, humanity, and true legacy, and the appreciation of her true beauty, this is a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic figures in history.

In-Between: What Future Awaits with Generative AI?


Advancements in generative AI are transforming the way we conceptualize consciousness. Using the Japan Pavilion exhibition at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale as a starting point, this publication offers a thought-provoking dialogue between architecture, artificial intelligence and humanity. Imagining a near-future when AI technology has further advanced, the Japan Pavilion stages a dialogue between the building’s constituent elements – the Hole, Wall Columns, Outer Walls, Brick Terrace, Pensilina, Tilted Loop Path and Yew Tree – and humans, as equals. Their conversation revolves around the future of the pavilion and a search for common ground. Behind-the-scenes reflections, critical essays and speculative writings expand on the themes of the exhibition and offer insights into a highly relevant topic.

Comparative Musicology


This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Why do all human societies make music, but in such different ways? Scientific attempts to answer this question through cross-cultural comparison stalled during the 20th century and have only recently begun to make a resurgence. In this book, Patrick Savage, a leader in this resurgence synthesises recent advances from musicology and related fields including psychology, linguistics, computer science, and evolutionary anthropology to outline ways to understand and compare all the world's music. He applies comparative musicology to longstanding debates including universal and culturally-specific aspects of human music; evolutionary relationships between song, speech, and animal vocalisation; and applications to areas including music copyright, 2nd language acquisition, social bonding, and cultural heritage revitalisation. In doing so, he argues for an inclusive, multidisciplinary field that uplifts traditionally marginalised voices and combines the qualitative methods traditionally employed by musicologists and cultural anthropologists with quantitative methods from the natural sciences. The book is accessibly written using over 50 figures/tables and an interactive tutorial with audio examples, with each chapter designed to be readable/teachable on its own. It is designed to be appreciated by anyone from undergraduate students to senior professors, without requiring any specialised background knowledge.

Totems and Other Essays


Totems and Other Essays brings together 14 texts by architect, historian, and critic Irénée Scalbert. Written between 1998 and 2025, they reflect nearly three decades of critical engagement with architecture and its cultural contexts. Ranging in length and register-from concise meditations to extended analytical essays-the collection captures the evolution of Scalbert's thinking as a critic, teacher, and participant in architectural discourse. Organised thematically into sections on buildings, cities, lectures, and theory, Totems and Other Essays traces a loosely autobiographical arc. Earlier pieces echo Scalbert's formative years in London during a period of architectural ferment marked by the work of James Stirling, Norman Foster, and Richard Rogers, as well as his close association with a generation of contemporaries including Tony Fretton, Adam Caruso and Peter St John, and Tom Emerson and Stephanie Macdonald (6a architects). Later texts expand outward, both geographically and conceptually, as Scalbert brings a speculative and at times personal lens to questions of urbanism, nature, and meaning in contemporary architecture. The book culminates in Lives of a Critic, a postscript that offers candid thoughts on the vocation of architectural criticism in the 21st century.

The Sordid Image


Drawing on the cinematic oeuvre of Ripstein and Garciadiego to reconceptualize the idea of the sordid The sordid is not an ideology, an affect, or even a form of taste or sensibility. It is, Agustín Zarzosa argues, an image and an evocation of the process of degradation. The Sordid Image: The Naturalist Cinema of Arturo Ripstein and Paz Alicia Garciadiego offers the first sustained study of this pivotal filmmaker-screenwriter pair, drawing on their multidecade collaborations to reframe an enduring problem of film theory: how to represent marginalized people. Together, Ripstein and Garciadiego have constructed a recognizable cinematic world filled with social outcasts, characterized by self-degradation and unreason, and set within squalid environments. Inscribing the Ripsteinian universe within the literary and cinematic traditions of naturalism, this book theorizes the notion of the sordid to examine the partners' unique and epoch-defining films. We can, Zarzosa contends, understand the sordid as a cinematic image, with its specific components and pleasures, recasting questions of authorship, mise-en-scene, spectatorship, genre, and language.
