Bára Bažantová's new book dobrého po málu is published by Divus, just like her previous publications. This time, it is a small collection of short texts reflecting the author's ideas, dreams and experience in the face of the unrelenting reality of social inequalities, generational traumas and (her own) moral failings. The author of the illustrations is the artist Petr Nápravník, the text was edited by Hynek Trojánek.
In the anarchist magazine Existence No. 2/2022 we have been dealing with the topic of anarchist strategy. This should be based both on the goals with which the anarchist vision is associated, on the current needs and problems, and on the possibilities and experiences we have. This topic needs to be continuously thought through - using our own minds and anarchism as a moral and ideological compass, not as dogma.
Partyzánská stezka is an intermediate guide mapping the history of the anti-fascist resistance in Horácko in the years 1943-1945. It focuses on the resistance activities in the Nové Město and Bystřice region and guides visitors through the landscape where they can find memorial plaques, monuments and remnants of partisan earthworks.
Through stories in audiobook form, the fate of the local resistance and the partisan movement comes to life. The stories show the life of the inhabitants, their courage and the daily challenges during the war. Partyzánská stezka connects historical situations with specific places in the landscape and offers a view of the area's past accessible to local experts and the general public.

What happens when a "student" infiltrates the highest levels of the Israeli political lobby in the United States? The documentary series The Lobby USA was created in 2016, when aspiring journalist James Kleinfeld was placed for nearly six months at the center of the Israel lobby in Washington, D.C., which works through financial, political, and media means to shape the long-term positive image of Israel and its policies in the eyes of the American public.
The film exposes not only the manipulative strategies and communication techniques, but also the ways in which the lobby seeks to purposefully discredit individuals and groups involved in the pro-Palestinian solidarity movement.
The film is based on a four-part series of reports by Al Jazeera's investigative section. It will be presented to the audience at the Winter Book Party in a 104-minute "supercut" format. The screening will be followed by commentary from members from Friends of Palestine.
What the heck! Guy Debord and his famous Society of the Spectacle that is a new book? Of course not. The founder of Situationism's ingenious, precise and still painfully relevant analysis of the contradictions and cultural and social dynamics of Western capitalism was written in the heat of the turbulent, searching 1960s, 1967 to be precise. However, it was only last year that it was again sent out into the world by the publishing house Utopia libri, in a second Czech, revised edition with expanded notes.

Bunkerer is the young blood of Czech heavy dark electronica. The musical and visual form of the project is based on the past and present of its birthplace - post-industrial Kladno. The rigid cacophony of samples, drummachines and unchanging synth lines that Bunkerer expresses himself with plunges deep into the cultural underground. Punk at heart, EBM on the dancefloor.

The energy of hardcore punk, grime and a pulsating beat with a flow that rushes forward like a herd of mustangs. Jirka from the post-metal outfit Drom proves through Podještědský okultista that closing himself into one style box is not the way for him. Two years ago he released his debut album, Dvacet deka něhy, which will soon be followed by a new record. Guitars, tattoos, brothel and voodoo.
