Art and its Responses to Changes in Society
Art and its Responses to Changes in Society brings together studies of young researchers dealing with the topics of decline, transformation, and rebirth from various points of view, characteristic of several different fields of the humanities and social sciences, in order to yield new insights into the analyzed subjects. The topics discussed here are diverse: on the one hand, several chapters deal with the metamorphosis of particular pictorial or architectural motifs and concepts, while on the other, studies are included that are dedicated to the analysis of the opera of individual artists, to various periods in architecture and landscape architecture, and to national and state commissions in art, as well as representations of WW2 atrocities in Yugoslavia and attempts to artistically reaffirm Christian symbolism after the end of socialism. As such, the book entails diverse scientific perceptions of art and society, from antiquity to modernity, from architecture to moving picture, from the USA to Yugoslavia, and from research on an object to observations on a concept.

Drawn to Art
In the eighteenth century's burgeoning culture of travel and "Grand Tours," Rome was the essential destination. From all over Europe, artists jostled with art lovers and collectors of antiquities, each influencing the other in their respective ambitions. The cult of Rome was particularly strong in France, and this volume looks at more than 100 works by artists such as Hubert Robert, Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Jacques-Louis David, who made pilgrimages to the "Eternal City" and who were decisively influenced by their time there. The works are contextualized across five different sections: the first focuses on the tradition of academic training in Rome; the second explores the depiction of the city's landscape and surrounding countryside; the third looks at Rome and Paris' cultures of art lovers, patrons and artists; the fourth section examines the eighteenth-century conception of antiques; and the final section looks at Rome's annual festivals, and their influence on French artists.
Marija Terezija
Monografija o Mariji Tereziji se pridružuje številnim obeležitvam 300. obletnice rojstva cesarice Marije Terezije, ki so potekale v letu 2017. Vladarica je bila v preteklosti pogosto objekt znanstvenega raziskovanja, a večinoma v tujem zgodovinopisju. Slovensko zgodovinopisje se je do sedaj z njenim življenjem in vladanjem ukvarjalo sorazmerno malo. Pričujoča monografija tako prinaša številne nove ugotovitve in nove poglede na Marijo Terezijo in njeno dobo. Pri monografiji je sodelovalo več kot dvajset priznanih raziskovalcev, večinoma iz Slovenije, nekaj pa tudi iz tujine. Izhodišče prispevkov je slovenski prostor in vplivi cesaričnih reform nanj. Te reforme so bile korenite, temeljite in dolgoročne, kar pomeni, da njihove učinke čutimo še danes, čeprav se tega morda ne zavedamo. Druga rdeča nit monografije pa je ohranjanje spomina na Marijo Terezijo na Slovenskem kot tudi v njenih nekdanjih deželah, ki so danes samostojne države (Avstrija, Madžarska, Hrvaška in Češka). Monografija je napisana pretežno v slovenskem jeziku, medtem ko so prispevki tujih avtorjev v tujem jeziku (nemško, angleško, italijansko in hrvaško) z daljšim slovenskim povzetkom.
Naruobe prav
52. knjiga iz zbirke Glasovi prinaša 684 enot folklorne ustvarjalnosti, zbranih na območju starodavne šentruperske fare, manjše dolenjske Občine Šentrupert z okrog 2.900 prebivalci. Bogastvo in lepota pokrajine sta omogočala pestro posvetno in cerkveno zgodovino, domačemu življu pa z njima in ujmami povezane boljše in slabše čase. Da zadnjih ni bilo malo, pričajo pretresljive socialne pripovedi, vera v različne oblike nadnaravnega, predvsem pa številne anekdote in šaljive pripovedi, s katerimi so bodrili sami sebe. Posebnost pa so morda tiste, ki izkazujejo zelo pretanjen občutek za jezik, kar želi poudariti tudi naslov knjige Naruobe prav. V 35 letih je pri zbiranju gradiva sodelovalo 87 pripovedovalcev. Skoraj vse pripovedi so poenostavljeno zapisane v domačem narečnem govoru. Pripovedi so v skladu s folkloristično stroko razvrščene v 11 poglavij. Vsako poglavje uvaja vsaj še en folklorni obrazec ali pesem. Knjigo poživljajo pravljične ilustracije Petre Marovt - Pere Maro.
