Direction-space!
50 years ago, Yuri Gagarin became the first man to travel into space. His orbit around the Earth made him a celebrity worldwide and his name is still synonymous with the space race and Russian space exploration. Half a century after this legendary flight, Direction - Space! looks at two sites that were key to the Soviet space programme: Star City and Baikonur. Incorporating unique archive materials, it explores the reality of the space community first hand, offering new insights into a subject that is central to the history of the Soviet Union.

Bodies of Water
Water is the element that, more than any other, ties human beings in to the world around them – from the oceans that surround us to the water that makes up most of our bodies. Exploring the cultural and philosophical implications of this fact, Bodies of Water develops an innovative new mode of posthuman feminist phenomenology that understands our bodies as being fundamentally part of the natural world and not separate from or privileged to it. Building on the works by Luce Irigaray, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze, Astrida Neimanis's book is a landmark study that brings a new feminist perspective to bear on ideas of embodiment and ecological ethics in the posthuman critical moment.
Other Russias
SHORTLISTED FOR THE PUSHKIN HOUSE BOOK PRIZE 2018 From a renowned graphic artist and activist, an incredible portrait of life in Russia today What does it mean to live in Russia today? What is it like to grow up in a forgotten city, to be a migrant worker or to grow old and seek solace in the Orthodox church? For the past eight years, graphic artist and activist Victoria Lomasko has been travelling around Russia and talking to people as she draws their stories. She spent time in dying villages where schoolteachers outnumber students; she stayed with sex workers in the city of Nizhny Novgorod; she went to juvenile prisons and spoke to kids who have no contact with the outside world; and she attended every major political rally in Moscow. The result is an extraordinary portrait of Russia in the Putin years -- a country full of people who have been left behind, many of whom are determined to fight for their rights and for progress against impossible odds. Empathetic, honest, funny, and often devastating, Lomasko's portraits show us a side of Russia that is hardly ever seen.
The Politics of Home
This book examines ideas of 'home' of Americans and Western Europeans under the influence of the two major revolutions of our times: the gender revolution and increased mobility due to globalization. It analyzes how 'home' has been politicized, as well as alternative home-making strategies that aim to transcend the 'logic of identities'.
Presenting Shakespeare
A skull held aloft, a lovesick donkey, a bloodied dagger—these familiar icons are instantly recognizable shorthand for the plays of William Shakespeare. In the four hundred years since his death, the Bard of Avon's exalted place in the pantheon of theater and poetry—indeed, all of Western culture—is unequaled. As Ben Jonson proclaimed, Shakespeare "is not of an age but for all time!" And just as centuries of theatrical artists have reimagined his works through the lens of their own time and culture, so too have illustrators and designers been inspired to create posters that reinvent Shakespeare's well-known themes for each new generation of theatergoers. Presenting Shakespeare collects 1,100 posters for Shakespeare's plays, designed by an international roster of artists representing 55 countries, from Japan to Colombia, India, Russia, Australia, and beyond. A fascinating trove of theatrical artifacts, Presenting Shakespeare is a necessary volume for theater and design lovers alike.
Yesterday's Sandwich
An extraordinary project by one of the most influential contemporary photographers working today.
Manhattan Marxism
The artist Rainer Ganahl has been creatively adapting the writings of Karl Marx to his own work since the 1990s. The German philosopher's ideas have galvanized projects such as Ganahl's irreverent fashion show Commes des Marxists, a series of obscene food sculptures inspired by the "credit crunch" of 2008, and a Karl Marx fire extinguisher, which allows the thinker's wisdom to be sprayed onto any conflict. There has never been a more fitting time, however, for the release of this book, which appears on the 10th anniversary of the global financial crisis, and 200 years after Marx's birth. In more than 700 pages, Manhattan Marxism assembles essays, photos, and other documentation from dozens of Ganahl's Marx-themed projects from the past decade. Contributors Arthur Fink, Rainer Ganahl, Liam Gillick, Johan Hartle, Steve Lyons, Antonio Negri, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
Working men have no country
Ce livre est un essai d'images et de textes regroupant les travaux et recherches de quatre artistes : Krasimira Butseva (Bulgarie - Royaume-Uni), Guillaume Chauvin (France), Ziad Naitaddi (Maroc) et Sofia Yala Rodrigues (Portugal - Angola - Royaume-Uni). Ce livre peint une large fresque faite d'aventures et de vies singulières, de la révolution d'Octobre à la chute de l'URSS en passant par les décolonisations. En dessinant des cadres géographiques hors des grandes narrations officielles de l'Histoire des migrations entre l'Afrique, l'Amérique du Nord, l'Europe de l'Est et de l'Ouest, ce livre propose une réflexion sur l'éducation, la propagande et le racisme liés aux contextes politiques migratoires successifs, créant les mouvances post-socialistes et post-colonialistes. Les symboliques coloniales qui hantent notre monde contemporain y sont dévoilées et surgissent avec vigueur dans notre interprétation du réel et du virtuel.
