CARlA BODO Board Member of the Cultural Information and Research Centres liaison in Europe (CIRCLE) and Director of the Observatory for the Performing Arts at the Department of the Performing Arts of the Italian Prime Minister's Office, Roma The relation between the public and the private sector in the field of culture, the central theme of this publication, was thoroughly debated during the 1997 CIRCLE Round Table in Amsterdam. It was not the first time CIRCLE addressed this issue. In 1988 CIRCLE'S Bureau was invited to participate in a seminar in Budapest on The State, the Market and Culture. I will never forget the emotional impact of Sacha Rubinstein's demonization of state sup port and his apotheosis of the role of the market in the cultural field in Russia. So, in ad vance of actual events, we suddenly had a premonition of what was going to happen, ofthe turmoil which was about to radically change the socio-political scene of Central and East ern Europe. Six years later, in 1994, we met again in Budapest for a Conference on The Distribu tion of Roles between Government and Arts Councils, Associations and Foundations.

Drawing on analyses of the socio-cultural context of East and Central Europe, with a special focus on the Czech cultural dynamics of the Cold War and its aftermath, this book offers a study of the making and breaking of the centrally-controlled system of book production and reception. It explores the social, material and symbolic reproduction of the printed text, in both official and alternative spheres, and patterns of dissemination and reading. Building on archival research, statistical data, media analyses, and in-depth interviews with the participants of the post-1989 de-centralization and privatization of the book world, it revisits the established notions of ‘censorship’ and ‘revolution’ in order to uncover people’s performances that contributed to both the reproduction and erosion of the ‘old regime’.

Publikace je jedním z výstupů rozsáhlého projektu Divadelního oddělení Národního muzea, v jehož rámci bylo v letech 2016-2022 zmapováno více než 400 míst po celé ČR, kde se pravidelně konají (nejen) divadelní představení. Kniha se soustředí na hlavní město Prahu, která je se svou nejhustší divadelní sítí přirozeným centrem českého kulturního života. Populárně-naučnou formou je představena nejen architektonická historie jednotlivých budov, staveb a prostor, ale také dějiny institucí, které je využívaly a stále využívají ke své umělecké činnosti. Prostřednictvím bohaté obrazové přílohy získají čtenáři mj. možnost nahlédnout do míst, která nejsou návštěvníkům běžně přístupná – např. herecké šatny, sklady kulis, osvětlovací a zvukařská kabina, provaziště, zázemí jevištních techniků, kotelna atd. Publikace Svět prken, která znamenají svět se fenomén divadla snaží uchopovat v širokém záběru, jako tavící kotel, v němž jsou osobní i národní dějiny, architektura a umění neodmyslitelně propleteny.
Surveying the ubiquitous work of the famed Czech graphic design studio The Czech graphic design studio Najbrt has carved out an extraordinary spot in its home market: total ubiquity. Founder and principal Ales Najbrt designs books (Czech100 Design Icons), magazines (Raut), dinner plates (with abstract calligraphic motifs), sporting equipment (LTB's camouflage snowboard), clothes (racing stripe hat, scarf and satin boxers) and posters (including one for his own work). Featuring 1,280 color images, this collection of Najbrt and his compatriots' lively, bright and colorful work pulls together a wide range of corporate commissions, book designs, exhibition projects and other innovative work. It is introduced by the pioneering design critic Rick Poynor, and features a profile of Studio Najbrt by the designer and design journalist Alan Zaruba, editor of the volume, and an interview with Ales Najbrt himself. An instant collector's item, it is designed with a Lotto-style silver "scratch-off" cover.
