This new publication is a comprehensive study of Soviet Modernism in Ukraine. The authors and architects, Oleksiy Bykov and Ievgeniia Gubkina, have studied modernism in architecture in depth over many years. In this 250-page book, they explore the uniqueness of modernist ob-jects in all its forms - from interior de-sign to city plans - across the entire ter-ritory of Ukraine and over three full dec-ades. Furthermore, this title explores the differences between the main concepts in the debate on late Soviet architecture, in which the term "brutalism" has, un-til now, been understood as a western phenomenon.

着重讲述晚期资本主义的文化特征，认为晚期资本主义商品化不仅表现于一切物质产品，而且渗透到各个精神领域，甚至理论本身也成为一种商品，上层建筑起着前所未有的，甚至是决定性的作用。多民族、无中心、反权威、叙述化、零散化、无深度概念等则是这一时代文化的特征。“后现代主义”正是对这些概念的概括。

If you are like most people, you’re not sure what Postmodernism is. And if this were like most books on the subject, it probably wouldn’t tell you. Besides what a few grumpy critics claim, Postmodernism is not a bunch of meaningless intellectual mind games. On the contrary, it is a reaction to the most profound spiritual and philosophical crises of our time–the failure of the Enlightenment. Jim Powell takes the position that Postmodernism is a series of “maps” that help people find their way through a changing world. Postmodernism For Beginners features the thoughts of Foucault on power and knowledge, Jameson on mapping the postmodern, Baudrillard on the media, Harvey on time-space compression, Derrida on deconstruction and Deleuze and Guattari on rhizomes. The book also discusses postmodern artifacts such as Madonna, cyberpunk sci-fi, Buddhist ecology and teledildonics.

这是一部反思现代性的力作。齐格蒙·鲍曼认为，大屠杀不只是犹太人历史上的一个悲惨事件，也并非德意志民族的一次反常行为，而是现代性本身的固有可能。正是现代性的本质要素，使得像大屠杀这样灭绝人性的惨剧成为设计者、执行者和受害者密切合作的社会集体行动。从极端的理性走向极端的不理性，从高度的文明走向高度的野蛮，看似悖谬，实则有着逻辑的必然。而拯救之途也许就在于：在任何情况下，个体都无条件地承担起他的道德责任。
