<p>Ikonoklasm, eller bildstormande, är en del av vår historia: från förstörelsen av religiösa bilder under den tidiga kristendomen till dagens nedrivning av statyer på sydstatsgeneraler och slavhandlare. Bilder, byggnader och föremål som strider mot religiös eller ideologisk övertygelse måste förstöras. De som utför rensningen, ikonoklasterna, är övertygade om att de utför en reningsaktion. Det förflutna välts över ända i en önskan att börja om från början. </p><p>De olika bidragen till antologin Ikonoklasm förkastandet av det förflutna visar med all önskvärd tydlighet konsekvenserna. Inte bara ovärderliga kulturskatter utan också människoliv går förlorade när fanatismen får fritt spelrum. Vi ser det när Islamiska staten slår sönder flera tusen år gamla museiföremål, när Maos rödgardister bränner böcker och förföljer oliktänkande under den kinesiska kulturrevolutionen eller när ryska bolsjeviker spränger kyrkor och skändar ikoner. Exemplen på de destruktiva krafternas skadegörelse genom seklen kan mångfaldigas. Att ikonoklasmens stridsrop ljuder så starkt i vår tid visar på dess fortsatta lockelse. Ikonoklasm förkastandet av det förflutna är en varningsklocka, ett larm för hotet mot det demokratiska samhällets tolerans och öppenhet. </p>

Lost Music Of The Holocaust Bok
<p>For more than thirty years Francesco Lotoro, an Italian pianist and composer has been on an odyssey to recover music written by the inmates of Adolf Hitler's concentration camps and the gulags of Stalin's Soviet Union. Between 1933, the year of the opening of the Dachau Lager in Germany, to Stalin's death in 1953 when thousands of Soviet prisoners were released, Lotoro pieces together the <b>human stories of survivors</b> whose only salvation was their love of music.<br/><br/>Across three decades of relentless investigation, his findings as captured in <i>Lost Music of the Holocaust </i>are <b>extraordinary and historically important</b>. Lotoro unearthed over eight thousand unpublished works of music, ten thousand documents (microfilms, diaries, notebooks, and recordings on phonographic recordings), as well as locating and interviewing many survivors who in a previous life had been trained musicians and composers. Be it a symphony, an opera, a simple folk song or even a gypsy melody, Lotor has travelled the globe to track them down. Many pieces were hastily scribbled down ow whatever the composer could find: food wrappings, a vegetable sack and even a train ticket stub. To avoid discover by camp guards, Lotoro even discovered forgotten pieces of code inmates had invented to hide their real meaning - music. In many cases, the composers would be murdered in the gas chambers or worked to death, not knowing whether their music would be heard by the world. Until now.<br/><br/>Their stories and their music adds colour and humanity to the horrors of the Holocaust and of Stalin's oppressive rule. It is <b>a journey into music and history</b> that reveals a new way of telling the darkest chapters of the twentieth century whilst <b>shining a light on the beauty that could still be created amidst the horrors endured.</b></p>

Firecrackers Bok
<b>A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers.</b><br/><br/>The photographic industry - its exhibitions, galleries, publications and auctions - employs thousands of women, but champions mostly men. To begin to redress the balance, here is a timely presentation of the work of over 30 female photographers working today. This book is predominantly a celebration of some of the most inquisitive, intelligent and daring photography being created now. The stories the photographers tell are the most pressing social, political and personal issues seen through the female lens.<br/><br/>Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Haser's futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawy's filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of marginalized individuals and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.<br/><br/>Fiona Rogers and Max Houghton offer insightful and expert authorship and curation. In their respective, well-established roles in the industry they understand, influence and advocate for contemporary documentary photography today.

<p>During the latter part of the nineteenth century, so-called esoteric movements became increasingly popular in cultural and intellectual circles in Europe, not least in Sweden. Secret teachings, rituals and practices in alchemy, astrology, occultism and theosophy were predominant, with a belief in correspondences in the cosmos, living nature and transmutations. But esotericism goes back much further in time in Swedish history. Although such esoteric ideas were long considered heresy by the Church and thus driven underground, they have had a significant impact on Swedish culture.</p><p>In this anthology, we bring together some of Sweden s foremost experts on the subject to explore the history of esotericism in Sweden and how its rituals, practices and traditions came to influence writers and artists such as August Strindberg, Selma Lagerlöf, Viktor Rydberg, Hilma af Klint, Tyra Kleen and Carl Milles.</p>

The Playbook Bok
<p><b>1935. </b> Franklin D. Roosevelt is under pressure to combat the skyrocketing levels of unemployment in<br/>post-war America. He announces a sweeping range of revolutionary initiatives, known collectively as<br/>the New Deal. Among these initiatives is a landmark programme designed to bring innovative,<br/>experimental theatre to the American masses.<br/><br/>The Federal Theatre Project staged critically acclaimed and wildly popular productions across<br/>America - including Orson Welles' directorial debut, a landmark early modern dance programme, and shows that sought to tell the truth about racism, poverty and the rising tides of fascism.<br/><br/><b>1938. </b>An opportunistic Texas congressman, head of the newly formed House Un-American<br/>Committee, targets the Federal Theatre Project, enflaming rising tension about communism and<br/>creating a new political playbook based on sensationalism, misinformation and fear - a playbook that has proved instrumental in today's Culture Wars.<br/><br/>From one of the world's great storytellers, Playbook is an invigorating re-enactment of a terrifyingly<br/>prescient moment in 20th-century American cultural history, the dimensions of which echo through<br/>every democracy today.</p>
