The Archaeology and Material Culture of Queenship in Medieval Hungary, 1000–1395
This book explores an alternate history of the power and agency of 30 Hungarian queens over 400 years by a rigorous examination of the material culture connected with their lives. By researching the objects, images, and spaces, it demonstrates how these women expressed and displayed their power. Queens used material culture and space not only to demonstrate their own power to a wide, international audience, but also to consolidate their own position when it was weakened by external circumstances. Both the public and private image of the queen factors significantly in understanding in her own role at the strongly centralized Hungarian court, and, moreover, how her position and person strengthened and complemented that of the king.
Les belles complications
Quatrième de couverture : Dans la tradition du Théâtre populaire romand à la Chaux-de-Fonds, le projet "Les belles complications" initié par Anne Bisang a réinventé la notion de groupe théâtrale, de manière résolument contemporaine. Un collectif de comédiens et de comédiennes, en résidence pendant six mois au TPR, a fait avec trois metteurs en scène - Anne Bisang, Sandra Amodio et Yvan Rihs - l'expérience d'un ensemble éphémère. Un travail photographique peut-il rendre compte d'un processus de création théâtral collectif ? Peut-il saisir les impulsions et les apports propres aux différents metteurs en scène ? Donner corps à la recherche et à l'évolution d'un comédien ? Peut-il lui-même devenir une interprétation personnelle des textes autant que des mises en scène elles-mêmes ? Au fil des jours, Hélène Tobler a photographié "Les belles complications". Elle a tenté de donner à voir l'articulation des trois pièces entre elles et de révéler par l'image l'intrication des pistes et des cheminements dans et entre les créations.

Sigfried Giedion
After studying art history with Heinrich Wolfflin, Giedion followed a polemical career that went far beyond the conventional bounds of academia. He defined the historical context and significance of the modern movement, proclaiming its goals and chronicling its progress. As General Secretary of the CIAM (International Congress for Modern Architecture) he was the organisational and theoretical focus of the modernist debate for over forty years.
Des cloches et des hommes
Les cloches en bronze portées par le bétail sont ornées de motifs d'une richesse insoupçonnée. Frottées au cuir de l'animal, estompées par le temps, ces images disent les croyances, les espoirs et peurs des générations rurales qui nous ont précédés. Les photographies d'Hélène Tobler, les textes de Sylviane Messerli et la mise en page de Werner Jeker et Benoît Deschamps dépassent les idées toutes faites sur les cloches folkloriques. En révélant leur beauté, ils proposent une approche inédite du monde campanaire.

Degrees of Difficulty
How the Cold War era changed the trajectory of women's gymnastics Electrifying athletes like Olga Korbut and Nadia Comăneci helped make women’s artistic gymnastics one of the most popular events in the Olympic Games. But the transition of gymnastics from a women’s sport to a girl’s sport in the 1970s also laid the foundation for a system of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of gymnasts around the world. Georgia Cervin offers a unique history of women's gymnastics, examining how the high-stakes diplomatic rivalry of the Cold War created a breeding ground for exploitation. Yet, a surprising spirit of international collaboration arose to decide the social values and image of femininity demonstrated by the sport. Cervin also charts the changes in style, equipment, training, and participants that transformed the sport, as explosive athleticism replaced balletic grace and gymnastics dominance shifted from East to West. Sweeping and revelatory, Degrees of Difficulty tells a story of international friction, unexpected cooperation, and the legacy of abuse and betrayal created by the win-at-all-cost attitudes of the Cold War.
