Paměť zámků a jejich krajiny: Bílovec. Od hradu k zámku
Publikace je zároveň kritickým katalogem stejnojmenné výstavy zahájené na podzim 2025 v prostorách bíloveckého zámku. První část knihy je věnována středověkým a raně novověkým dějinám Bílovce v kontextu Opavského vévodství jednak prostřednictvím vybraných mužských i ženských osobností šlechtických rodů (Vladěnínských, Pražmů z Bílkova či Sedlnických z Choltic), držitelů bíloveckého panství, jednak skrze stavební přeměnu městského hradu v Bílovci na renesanční zámek. Prezentované dějiny jsou zasazeny také do evropských souvislostí. Druhou část publikace tvoří katalog trojrozměrných předmětů, nálezů z realizovaných archeologických výzkumů, a ukázek architektonických článků pocházejících z bíloveckého zámku. Mimořádná pozornost je zaměřena na unikátní nález renesančního snubního prstenu z osmnáctikarátového zlata s rubínem a tyrkysem.
Three Screenplays
How can I help you, traveller? Let me guide you out of the woods."Cornerstones of modern British folk horror, Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump’s Kill List, A Field in England, and In the Earth together form a singular body of work, revealing England,past and present, as a landscape shaped by history, power, and the occult. Kill List follows two ex-military hitmen on a routine contract that draws them into a nightmarish world of cult practice and conspiracy, with devastating consequences. A Field in England, widely regarded as one of the most important British films of the past fifty years, is a hallucinatory journey into the seventeenth-century English Civil War, drawing on the psychedelic legacy of British magical and visionary traditions. In the Earth, conceived during the COVID pandemic, explores isolation, ecology, and belief as a researcher ventures into the wilderness in search of a colleague lost while pursuing a cure for a deadly disease. Three Screenplays collects the shooting scripts for all three films, available to read together for the first time. With a preface by Ben Wheatley and an introduction by Tariq Goddard, this volume offers a rare insight into one of the most distinctive collaborations in contemporary British cinema.
Defining Architectural Quality
A comprehensive collection of accessible texts covering the entire spectrum of issues relating to the qualitative evaluation of architecture
Explores all aspects of the topic and offers for the first time a complete definition of architectural quality
The qualitative evaluation of buildings is largely neglected worldwide in favour of quantitative and technical assessments
The International Conference on Architectural Criticism has established itself as a centre of competent and independent architectural criticismThe essays collected in this volume cover the spectrum of issues that determine the quality of architecture. For example: What exactly is architectural quality? Is it based on physical facts? Is it a matter of cultural context? Does it lie in the eye of the beholder or is it actually beauty that matters? Do architects' intentions and ideas provide the keys to a building's evaluation? Does it rest primarily in its form? Or in the ethical attitude it expresses? Or is it just a group of critics deciding these issues among themselves?
While quantitative-technical evaluations of buildings abound internationally, the qualitative assessment of architectural works has so far been largely neglected. This unique anthology on definitions of architectural quality ranges from general observations and theories to case studies, and lays a rigorous foundation for assessing works of architecture.
The Roofless Truth
First comprehensive survey on the pressing challenge of homelessness and what urban design and architecture contribute to fight it
Brings together groundbreaking research, field reports, and award-winning projects and initiatives from Canada, Germany, Iran, Switzerland, and the US
Offers insights into current topics such as trauma-informed design, design justice, hostile architecture, architecture of asylum, and tactical urbanism
Includes a comprehensive glossary of key terms related to homelessnessHomelessness is one of the most pressing social challenges of our time, and is closely linked to issues of urban design and architecture. Homeless people are part of urban society and depend on accessible public spaces and urban infrastructure. Yet, in cities around the world, local governments use policies and urban planning to ward off street people, aiming at making them invisible in the cityscape and deliberately impeding certain forms of stay. Urban design always reflects power structures—it can exclude or open up avenues for participation.
The Roofless Truth brings together contributions by international researchers and practitioners from the fields of architecture, urban development and design, sociology, ethnology, social work, and education. It offers academic analyses and essays, field reports, and student proposals for interventions in public space, and features award-winning projects and initiatives in Canada, Germany, Iran, Switzerland, and the US.
The book highlights how public spaces should be designed to offer protection, dignity, and opportunities for homeless people, and to facilitate encounters and interaction. The featured examples impressively demonstrate that even the smallest spatial decision can determine inclusion or exclusion. The Roofless Truth paints a multifaceted picture of planning and design as a social practice beyond representation and prestige.

New Schools on the Block
School buildings are among the most complex building tasks, both for society and for architects
School building design is one of the core fields of activity of Berlin- and Lausanne-based firm AFF Architekten
The book offers deep insights into typologies and spatial design for school buildings from AFF Architekten's practice
Illustrated with more than 300 previously unpublished plans and photographs
Essays by distinguished authors offer background informationSchool buildings are among the most complex design, planning, and construction tasks for architects. They reflect educational concepts as well as cultural and spatial ideas of their time.
New Schools on the Block offers a survey of a decade of school building design by Berlin- and Lausanne-based AFF Architekten, a collective of architects, researchers, and crafts people. AFF's understanding of schools is that they are spaces of identification as much as they are places of learning. They aim to create buildings which open up spaces for experiences that foster identity through the interplay of shape and use.
New Schools on the Block is a typological inventory. It features 40 of AFF's school designs, built and unrealised, for towns and cities in Germany and Switzerland through floor plans and photographs of their surroundings, entrance halls, stairwells, classrooms, recreational and storage spaces. While floor plans invite the imagination of spaces, images of realised buildings demonstrate that even details such as a handrail or a sanitary room can be instructive. A comic strip about everyday school life adds an extra touch of realism.
Essays on historic and contemporary school building design and a conversation with AFF Architekten provide background information.

Taylor's Version
An original exploration and celebration of Taylor Swift, the world's biggest music star, as taught at the world's most prestigious university.
One of the biggest stars in the world, Taylor Swift became so popular for many reasons - but first and last thanks to her songs. In Taylor's Version, award-winning literary critic Professor Stephanie Burt charts the extraordinary journey from Swift's teen country debut to her most recent record-breaking achievement as the highest-grossing touring artist in the world. Based on her Harvard University course, Taylor Swift and Her World, Burt offers the first serious study of Swift that pays close attention to her talent as a songwriter first and foremost.
Drawing from musical and cultural criticism, poetry, economic theory, American history, as well as personal experience, Burt presents an insightful and heartfelt critical appreciation of Swift that delves into her life, her celebrity and her artistry. She explores how Swift's musical and public persona reflect her life and her craft, at once intimate and relatable. She considers the international community Swift's work has fostered, and she shows what makes Swift's body of work so important across styles, genres and generations.
Tracing a path through the Eras, Taylor's Version is a literary deep-dive into Swift's particular form of genius, revealing the remarkable impact of her career and showing how her songs - how music itself - can change lives.
C20: Sprievodca architektúrou Užhorodu
Užhorod, podobne ako iné mestá moderného Zakarpatska, má v 20. storočí so Slovenskom množstvo kultúrnych a historických väzieb. Pred prvou svetovou vojnou mali naše územia spoločnú skúsenosť, tvorili totiž súčasť uhorskej časti Rakúsko-uhorskej monarchie. V októbri 1919 sa Podkarpatská Rus (vtedajší názov Zakarpatska) stala súčasťou Československej republiky, ktorá vznikla na troskách monarchie z historicky českých a slovenských území. Od roku 1920 sa v Užhorode odohrávajú urbanistické a architektonické procesy nebývalého rozsahu. Súbežne prebiehalo plánovanie a výstavba celých štvrtí, budovanie ciest, regulácia brehov rieky Uh a zakladanie nových inštitúcií. Po pripojení k Ukrajinskej SSR pribudli na mapu mesta ďalšie významné objekty, predovšetkým vzdelávacie, kultúrne a turistické. Historické peripetie, ktorými si Užhorod v 20. storočí prešiel, sa naplno odrážajú aj v jeho architektúre. V tomto sprievodcovi sú zastúpené objekty, ktoré tu zanechali tri z piatich štátov, ktorých bol Užhorod v minulom storočí súčasťou. Naším cieľom nebolo zaznamenať všetky budovy dôležité pre históriu a reprezentáciu mesta vo vreckovom formáte. Dúfame však, že náš výber sa pre vás stane sprievodcom pri pochopení Užhorodu a jeho histórie a inšpiruje vás k láske a hlbšiemu záujmu o jeho architektúru.
Marxove príšery
Kto bol v skutočnosti autorom desivých prízrakov z depozitára Galérie mesta Bratislavy? Kniha Marxove príšery prináša sondu do života a doposiaľ málo preskúmanej tvorby bratislavského maliara Bélu Marxa (1885 – 1951). Ukazuje, že kým jeho idylické pohľady na Prešporok sú dobre známe, temné, až surreálne diela spájala odborná literatúra s jeho menom neprávom.
Kniha čitateľa sprevádza spoločenským a kultúrnym prostredím mesta po roku 1900. Na pozadí osudov generácie, ktorej životy drvili politické otrasy 20. storočia, ožíva atmosféra trojjazyčného Prešporka. Autorka na základe precízneho archívneho výskumu rekonštruuje Marxovo rodinné zázemie, jeho štúdiá, viedenský a budapeštiansky angažmán, potulky po Slovensku i záverečnú emigráciu do Nemecka. Najväčším objavom knihy je predstavenie „príšer“ – unikátnej kolekcie diel na pomedzí symbolizmu, dekadencie a art brut, ktorých stopa vedie k Bélovmu bratovi Jozefovi. Autorka sa kriticky vyrovnáva s doterajšími biografickými mýtmi a predkladá katalóg diel oboch bratov.

Kahlo: The Bigger Picture
Saturated with color and brimming with insight into Frida Kahlo’s oeuvre, this sumptuous book presents her art in all its intensity, detail, and visual power, with six magnificent fold-outs interspersed throughout the book.
Few artists have fused life and art as completely as Frida Kahlo, whose paintings transform personal experience into images of extraordinary force. Bringing together approximately ninety works, this book traces the full arc of her career—from early self-portraits to paintings shaped by love, politics, physical suffering, and fierce independence.
The often full-page or double-page reproductions and details of the works encourage close looking, allowing readers to move between Kahlo’s commanding compositions and the quieter details that carry emotional and symbolic weight.
Interspersed throughout the volume are six large-format fold-outs devoted to landmark paintings, including Self-Portrait (in a Velvet Dress), Self-Portrait (on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States), The Bride Frightened at Seeing Life Opened, Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, Self-Portrait (Diego on My Mind), and Self-Portrait (Dedicated to Doctor Eloesser).
Reproduced at an expanded scale, these fold-outs reward sustained attention to brushwork, surface, and detailed iconography. The accompanying texts integrate biography with visual analysis, clarifying how Kahlo’s art absorbed the realities of her body, her relationships, and her political beliefs. Featuring a cloth binding and sprayed edges drawn from Kahlo’s imagery, this is a book designed to be lingered over—an absorbing object for devoted admirers and a striking addition to any art library.
Visions in the Frame
Reveals how mise-en-scene has shaped the fields of film and television studies. Visions in the Frame provides a detailed evaluation of the journey and status of mise-en-scene—the organization of the visual field within the frame—as a critical concept in film and television studies. The first part of the book looks at the persistence of mise-en-scene within film studies amid a series of fluctuations in theoretical, historical, cultural, philosophical, and critical approaches. The second part shifts focus to consider television studies and the extent to which mise-en-scene has remained an ambiguous element in the growth of the discipline. The third part engages in a series of close readings from a range of styles and genres of television shows, exploring the relationship between visual composition, meaning, and significance as a central critical focus. Across the three parts of the book, Visions in the Frame presents a rigorous and valuable context for understanding the contrasting position and influence of mise-en-scene within film and television studies, using this to offer guidance for its future role within both disciplines.
Plastic Time
Challenges dominant approaches in screen studies by rethinking time not as a function of narrative or montage, but as something actively constructed through performance—through the expressions, gestures, and movements of bodies on screen. Plastic Time radically rethinks how we experience time in screen media—not through plot or montage but through performance. The book explores how actors shape time through the movements and manipulations of their bodies: a quick glance, a recurrent shrug, an awkward embrace. Drawing on examples ranging from Duck Soup to This Is America and from Father Knows Best to Friday Night Lights, it shows how bodily gestures and facial expressions sculpt history and contemporaneity, age, rhythm, and tense. Combining media theory, philosophy, and performance studies, Plastic Time argues that performance doesn't merely represent time—it actively figures it, stretching here and contracting there, now folding together, then tearing apart. Time in film, TV, and video is not fixed but elastic, not given but constantly made and remade, molded anew; it is as plastic as the actors' bodies that enact it.
Steve Cochran
Steve Cochran (1917–1965) was Hollywood’s ultimate contradiction—an intense, rugged leading man with a con man’s charm, a craftsman’s discipline, and a wild streak that made him both irresistible and dangerous. In Steve Cochran: Bad Boy of Hollywood, author Michelangelo Capua paints a richly detailed portrait of a man who was more than just a Hollywood rogue. Drawing from rare sources and packed with revealing anecdotes, this volume reclaims Cochran’s rightful place in film history. With breakout roles in White Heat, The Damned Don’t Cry, and Dallas, Cochran quickly earned a reputation as the quintessential "virile villain"—often cast as a gangster, a racist, or a ruthless playboy. Yet behind the screen persona was a surprisingly nuanced actor, whose greatest performance came in Michelangelo Antonioni’s Il Grido. Though he never quite reached marquee-name status, Cochran worked with such legends as Joan Crawford, James Cagney, Ginger Rogers, Doris Day, Burt Lancaster, and Rock Hudson, under the direction of some of the industry’s finest filmmakers. Off-screen, Cochran lived as boldly as he acted. He built a rustic retreat in the Hollywood Hills and filled it with animals, raced planes and cars, and romanced countless women. His personal life, often tabloid fodder, included three marriages, brushes with the law, and an obsession with freedom that culminated in his mysterious and still-unresolved death at age forty-eight when his body was found aboard his schooner adrift in the Pacific. A compelling blend of Hollywood scandal, cinematic insight, and cultural history, this biography is an essential read and a long-overdue examination of one of classic cinema’s most charismatic and controversial figures.

Introducing Environmental Communication
Introducing Environmental Communication offers a critical and interdisciplinary introduction to the field, designed primarily for undergraduate students in both specialist and general courses, as well as for postgraduate and professional learners. Its modular structure allows chapters to be used independently across a wide range of teaching, training, and coaching contexts. The book addresses underrepresented themes, including intercultural communication, postcolonial studies and social psychology, while combining theory with real-world application through staggered tasks, discussion prompts, case studies, and projects. Each chapter is supported by up-to-date examples and structured to guide learners from foundational concepts to more complex analysis. Adopting a critical lens, power and justice inequalities are highlighted and perspectives from the Global South are amplified, conveying both the urgency and complexity of the field. Short videos with accompanying discussion points are available online, enhancing the book's multimedia resources.
Out of the Dark
From the Grand Ole Opry to the National Barn Dance, how radio changed life in rural America Out of the Dark: A History of Radio and Rural America shows how radio—especially clear channel network stations—brought news, markets, weather, religion, and entertainment into isolated farm homes between the 1920s and 1950s, narrowing rural–urban divides while also sustaining distinctly rural tastes (e.g., barn dance music). Craig argues that battery "farm radios," high power stations, and national networking transformed daily life, work rhythms, consumer habits, and political participation, making radio the central domestic technology of the Depression era and beyond. Craig blends regulatory and industry milestones, such as the Radio Act of 1927, with sociological studies, USDA extension records, FCC surveys, census tables, and rich case studies including WLS Chicago's "National Barn Dance," WSM Nashville's "Grand Ole Opry," and others. He mines audience research, diaries, program schedules, and tables that track the spread of radio. The book's distinctive contributions include detailed charts (ownership by region; clear channel assignments) and vivid narratives of stations, formats, and personalities that connected farm families to national culture while preserving local identity. The book is ideal for scholars and students of US social, rural, and media history; communication policy and political communication; country and bluegrass music history; agricultural extension; and American studies. It will also engage librarians, curators, and public historians seeking context for rural collections; journalists and podcasters tracing the roots of today's information ecosystems; and general readers interested in how radio re made community life long before the internet.
