Desire, power, language, the possibility of change. Follow the ideas that unsettle what we think we know.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE01 / A history of questions
Two centuries.
No final answer.
From Sade’s address to the reader to Žižek’s critique of ideology, these works do not form a single school. They meet through questions: who desires, how power works, what language does, and whether a subject can act.
The timeline follows publication years and historical contexts. The 19-part reading index keeps the source document’s original order. Summaries reflect that document’s interpretation.
Chronology
1791—1989 / follow the thread02 / Concepts, not decoration
Ideas in motion
Three ways of seeing a relation. These visual models are invitations to read, rather than literal explanations of a theory.
Can a subject
change anything?
The course ends where its questions converge: desire, discourse, the Real and the conditions of an act. There is no guaranteed outcome. There is still a position to examine.
03 / Material traces
The thought has a body.
Title pages, handwriting, architectural plans and photographs. Every object has a history; every image has a source.
Archival dates describe the objects shown, not necessarily the publication dates on the timeline. Open an object for its full caption, source and reuse information.
04 / The reading room
Nineteen entrances.
Read in the source document’s order, or start with a question. Each chapter includes an English and Ukrainian introduction, key ideas, and the original Ukrainian notes.
