Travel & Transport2022Ukraїner. Ukrainian Insider 2
by Bogdan Logvynenko (idea), Daria Titarova, Kseniya Chykunova (texts)
Our team continues to study Ukraine, the results of which we share with you. This book is a story of the Ukrainian land, told by the Ukrainian people and filmed by the Ukraїner team. It was not enough to travel around all regions of Ukraine just one time to get to know it. Therefore, during 2019-2021, we drove the second expedition circle and brought even more stories about our incredible country and its inhabitants. Like all Ukraїner materials, these are stories of real people and the places they take care of, with dialogues and without directing. Traveling around the country, we want to capture it for every Ukrainian and for the whole world. And with the beginning of the annexation war started by Russia, this book has another important goal: to show Ukraine as it was before February 24, to keep it in our memory so that after the victory it could be rebuilt, and made even better.

Humanities & Social Sciences2021WHO WE ARE: Indigenous Peoples and National Minorities of Ukraine
by Bogdan Logvynenko (idea), Daria Titarova (editor)
Who are we? This is the question that the Ukraїner team has been working on every day for over five years. We tell stories from different parts of Ukraine, and in this way we seek the answer. This book has grown out of a great desire to explore and tell about the people in Ukraine. First of all, it is about the indigenous peoples here, because since July 2021, in addition to Ukrainians, this list has officially included the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks and Karaites. And also it is about a whole range of national minorities whose representatives appeared on our lands for one reason or another. After all, the history of each people living in the territory of Ukraine is a part of our common history, as ancient and rooted as the formation of the Crimean Tatar people in Crimea and nearby steppe of Prychornomoria, or as fresh as the newly Indian student community in Zakarpattia. With the story of the latter, in 2017 Ukraїner began a series of more than 30 multimedia stories about national minorities of Ukraine, fragments of which became the basis for this book. Most stories are accompanied by QR codes with links, which you can follow to watch the stories. We also set out to tell about the diversity of cultures and thereby answer the question: what are we? The deeper we researched the traditional holidays, cuisine, and symbols of each separate people, the more we found in common.

The Arts2022Ukraine from above (in English)
by Bogdan Logvynenko (idea), Volodymyr Gavrysh (design)
Over several years of expeditions, the Ukraїner team took thousands of photos of Ukraine from a drone. Many different screens have already seen our footage: from Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) to city buses in Warsaw. With the help of these images, we aim to share the beauty of Ukraine with the world. This photo book shows Ukraine from a bird's eye view. Fields, forests, coasts, snow-capped mountains, patterns of city streets – all these shots show amazing diversity and cause aesthetic awe. Despite the fact that enemy shells are still flying in the Ukrainian sky, we are already trying to make the whole world fall in love with it. The book is published only in English and is called “Ukraine from above”.

September 2016So glücklich wir waren
Roman
by Daria Bignardi
Mit ihren Erinnerungen an die unbeschwerten Tage der Jugend und ihrer Leidenschaft für klassische Literatur lebt Alma lieber in der Vergangenheit als in der Gegenwart. Als ihre Tochter Antonia schwanger ist, weiht sie sie ein in ein wohl gehütetes Familiengeheimnis: das spurlose Verschwinden ihres Bruders. Antonia beschließt, nach Ferrara zu reisen und sich auf eine Suche zu machen, für die ihre Mutter nie genug Kraft hatte. Doch bei ihren Streifzügen durch die mysteriös anmutende Stadt, die mit ihren mittelalterlichen Gemäuern und den schmalen Gassen die perfekte Kulisse für Heimlichkeiten und Gerüchte bietet, kommt Antonia nicht nur der Geschichte ihrer verschlossenen Mutter und dem Verschwinden ihres Onkels auf die Spur, sondern enthüllt auch eine familiäre Tragödie, die sehr viel weiter reicht, als sie jemals hätte ahnen können. So glücklich wir waren erzählt ebenso fesselnd wie ergreifend von lebenslanger Reue und der fragilen Nähe zwischen Müttern und Töchtern. In ihrem aufwühlenden Roman stellt Daria Bignardi die alles entscheidende Frage, wie genau wir die Menschen kennen, die uns am nächsten stehen.

September 2017Der Pfau
Roman
by Isabel Bogdan
Ein charmant heruntergekommener Landsitz in den schottischen Highlands, ein völlig durchgedrehter Pfau, der bei blau nur noch rotsieht, und ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen Leute, dazu ein überraschender Wintereinbruch, ein Kurzschluss und die ein oder andere Verwechslung – und schon ist das Chaos perfekt! Pointenreich, very british und urkomisch erzählt Isabel Bogdan von einem Wochenende, an dem alles anders kommt als geplant: Eine Gruppe Investmentbanker reist samt ambitionierter Psychologin und erfindungsreicher Köchin aus London an, um in der ländlichen Abgeschiedenheit bei einer Teambildungsmaßnahme die Zusammenarbeit zu verbessern. Doch das spartanische Ambiente und ein verrückt gewordener Pfau bringen sie dabei gehörig aus dem Konzept. Und nicht nur sie: Denn die pragmatische Problemlösung des Hausherrn Lord McIntosh setzt ein Geschehen in Gang, das sämtliche Beteiligte an die Grenzen ihrer nervlichen Belastbarkeit bringt. So britisch-unterhaltsam ist in deutscher Sprache noch nicht erzählt worden!

Theory of ArtSeptember 2014The Idea of the Avant Garde - And What It Means Today
And What It Means Today
by Marc James Léger
This book is premised on the view that the idea of the avant garde has an increased importance in these times of global political crisis. Much cultural production today is shaped by a biopolitics that construes all creative and knowledge production in terms of capital accumulation. A different kind of culture is possible. This collection of writings, essays, interviews and artworks by many of today's most radical cultural practitioners and astute commentators on matters avant garde mediates the different strategies and temporalities of avant-garde art and politics. Tracing diverse genealogies and trajectories, the book offers an inter-generational forum of ideas that covers different arts fields, from visual art, art activism, photography, film and architecture, to literature, theatre, performance, intermedia and music. This is an extraordinarily rich collection and is sure to be a benchmark for many years.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2014Radical democracy
Politics between abundance and lack
by Simon Tormey, Lars Toender, Lasse Thomassen, Jon Simons
Available at last in paperback, Radical democracy brings together original contributions from established and emerging scholars. The contributors discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the two dominant approaches to radical democracy: theories of abundance inspired by Gilles Deleuze and theories of lack inspired by Jacques Lacan. They examine the idea of radical democracy from a wide variety of perspectives: identity/difference, the public sphere, social movements, nature, popular culture, right wing populism and political economy. In addition, the volume relates the work of contemporary thinkers such as Deleuze, Lacan, Derrida and Foucault to classical thinkers such as Spinoza, Hegel, Marx and Nietzsche. William Connolly and Ernesto Laclau conclude the volume with two afterwords on the future of radical democracy. With its original contributions, Radical democracy is essential reading for advanced students and scholars who have an interest in the political and theoretical problems of radical democracy. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2021De-centering queer theory
Communist sexuality in the flow during and after the Cold War
by Bogdan Popa, Gurminder Bhambra
De-centering queer theory seeks to reorient queer theory to a different conception of bodies and sexuality derived from Eastern European Marxism. The book articulates a contrast between the concept of the productive body, which draws its epistemology from Soviet and avant-garde theorists, and Cold War gender, which is defined as the social construction of the body. The first part of the book concentrates on the theoretical and visual production of Eastern European Marxism, which proposed an alternative version of sexuality to that of western liberalism. In doing so it offers a historical angle to understand the emergence not only of an alternative epistemology, but also of queer theory's vocabulary. The second part of the book provides a Marxist, anti-capitalist archive for queer studies, which often neglects to engage critically with its liberal and Cold War underpinnings.
