March 1986Die Dialektik des Konkreten
Eine Studie zur Problematik des Menschen und der Welt
by Karel Kosík, Marianne Hoffmann
Diese Studie des tschechischen Philosophen Karel Kosík wurde rasch nach ihrem Erscheinen in den sechziger Jahren zu einem klassischen Text der »humanistischen«, »praxisphilosophischen« Interpretation des Marxismus. In ihr konzentrieren sich all die Gedanken und Argumentationsfiguren, gegen die sich wenig später dann die »strukturalistische« Marx-Lektüre Althussers richten sollte.

March 2025Das Jahr im Garten
Illustriert von Katja Spitzer | Eine hinreißende Liebeserklärung ans Gärtnern
by Karel Čapek, Katja Spitzer, Eva Profousová
Karel Čapek, berühmt vor allem für seine Science-Fiction-Romane, widmet sich in Das Jahr im Garten den ganz und gar irdischen Dingen – dem Gärtnern und jenen so eigenartigen wie passionierten Geschöpfen, deren Lebensinhalt das Gärtnern ist. Mit überbordendem Humor und viel Charme geleitet er uns durchs hortikulturelle Jahr, erzählt von den Widrigkeiten, die den Gärtner plagen: das Wetter, der Perfektionismus, der wild gewordene Gartenschlauch – ein unterhaltsamer Spaziergang durchs Jahr, der nicht nur Gartenfreunden großes Vergnügen bereitet. Čapeks Das Jahr im Garten wurde von Eva Profousová wunderbar neu übersetzt, Katja Spitzer hat den Band mit unverwechselbaren Illustrationen versehen.

Slovak and Czech performance art in the 1960s and 70s
by Sam Cermak
This book traces an early history of performance art from the former Czechoslovakia, which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s in the context of the Prague Spring and the subsequent policy of Normalization that brought on cultural censorship, prosecution, and state violence against artists. The book draws on Czech and Slovak scholarship as well as primary research in archives, interviews, and fieldwork to dispel misreadings of visual and cultural idioms in pre-existing Anglophone scholarship about the region. Although the former Soviet Bloc is often equated with repression and lack of experimental art in public spaces, performance artists within the former Socialist Czechoslovakia often used public, semi-public and clandestine spheres to create their performances. By analysing both works of established artists such as Aktual, Alex Mlynárcik, Petr Stembera, Jan Mlcoch, as well as under-theorised practitioners including Luba Lauffová, Karel Miler, Temporary Society of Intense Living, and Crusaders School of Pure Humour with no Joke, this book analyses how performance can survive and sometimes even thrive on the background of a politically oppressive regime. Cermak tells a unique story of localised resistance to a monolithic public sphere through artistic intervention, a closely knit community, artistic exchange, and agonistic reframing of socialism as a philosophy rather than state ideology.
