The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

Why Maradona Was Really Useless... How to Win a Penalty Shoot-Out...and 65 More Astonishing Statistical Football Revelations
by Rob Jovanovic
Rich in footballing anecdotes and hard science, Moving the Goalposts offers an astonishing rethink of the game by revolutionary football historian Rob Jovanovic. All too often categorised alongside “lies” and “damned lies”, statistics in football have for too long been overlooked, ignored or just plain misinterpreted. Yet in the high-pressure business of modern football, statistical data are central to player and performance analysis. Now Jovanovic applies the same exacting, objective analysis to other aspects of the game such as tactics, records and history, uncovering unexpected truths and exploding myths along the way. The book will tell you how Maradona came to have a negative impact on Argentina’s results; why Jack Charlton was a better defender than the iconic Bobby Moore; why the 1929/30 Sheffield Wednesday team was the greatest English club side ever – plus 65 more eye-opening revelations. You’ll never look at football in the same way again!

His tales arouse curiosity, doubt and tolerance, force us to think about how and why, and help us feel at home on this planet.

Children's & young adult: general non-fictionThe Gymnast Nikolaj
Chases Away the Wicked Thief
by Klarisa Jovanovič
Nikolaj the Gymnast is Klarisa Jovanovič's first picture book. It tells the story of a gymnast who detects a thief while doing his exercises in the park. The scene makes him so angry that he decides to catch him. The thief steals a baby's rattle and, on another occasion, a magnifying glass from an old lady who visits the park. The thief’s third criminal attempt in a row consists in trying to steal the tablecloth which a poor man puts on his table to embellish it on Sundays. This time, Nikolaj will catch him and recuperate all the stolen items. Nikolaj the Gymnast is written in verse, in a humorous and very skilful way. Even if posing the ethical question of whether stealing is acceptable or not, it does it without moralizing.
