Diving in this form of digital plunderphonics and organologies simulation alongside concepts that guide such explorations such as the one of acoustemology coined by sound scholar Steven Feld to define the ways audio and sound are used to explore and understand the world around us and the one of digital folklore\, or practices and imageries generated by internet users\, for internet users. \nBabau is an Italian duo formed by Luigi Monteanni and Matteo Pennesi\, exploring the intersection of exotica\, computer music\, and transglobal sonic subcultures in the post-internet age. Emerging from their hometown of Potenza Picena in 2014 with the EP Papalagi\, their work unfolds as an ongoing investigation into sound as a vessel for cultural speculation and digital myth-making. Their releases span collaborations with platforms like Discrepant\, Impatience\, Bamboo Shows\, and their own imprint Artetetra\, a project devoted to practice-based research on digital folklore in late globalization. Their curatorial and artistic work exploring audiovisual formats\, audio essays and installations has garnered attention from the New York Times\, Coeval Mag\, NTS\, BBC\, Rai Radio 3\, The Quietus\, Resident Advisor\, Artribune\, Rolling Stone\, Tiny Mix Tapes\, Repeater Books\, And Zero.Eu\, with The Wire featuring them in its 400th issue through an article by Simon Reynolds and another one by Miloš Hroch in 2025. \nThey have been selected among the best albums of 2020 by Simon Reynolds and of 2023 by The Quietus and have been chosen as SHAPE+ 2023 artists. They produced installations\, collaborated with festivals\, venues and institutions such as CRiSAP\, Terraforma\, Museion Bozen\, Café Oto\, Una Boccata D’arte\, Triennale Museum\, Base Mlian\, Reference Point\, Nextones\, Short Theater\, Museo Madre Napoli & Venice Biennale of Architecture\, MKG Hamburg\, CTM\, Club To Club\, UH Fest\, Thalassa Festival\, Outernational Days\, Saturnalia\, Mondo Muzak\, Festival Dei Due Mondi\, and collaborated with the likes of Heith\, Riar Rizaldi\, Senyawa\, Tarawangsawelas\, Shit & Shine And Sun Araw. \nhttps://babau.bandcamp.com/music \n⇨ WHEN: WED 15th July 18:30 – 20:00\n⇨ WHERE: Synth Library Prague https://mapy.com/s/pagazozome\n⇨ SUITABLE FOR: anyone interested in sound and music\n⇨ REGISTER: at info@synthlibrary.cz or fill in the form\n on our website synth library.cz\n⇨ DONATION: voluntary (recommended 150 – 300 CZK)\n⇨ LANGUAGE: English \nSYNTH LIBRARY\nis a space for sharing\, creating\, discussing\, experimenting\, learning and unlearning together not only in the field of electronic music.

Moderovat bude básník a literární komparatista Jakub Vaněk. Sbírku VENKOV vydalo nakladatelství Dobrý důvod v létě 2026. Nakladatelská anotace praví: „Toto vše je nám už poněkud cizí.“ Od úvodního motta své nové knihy nás Petr Šmíd zavádí do světa lopoty a úzkého vztahu s půdou\, který trval od začátku lidských dějin až do doby před několika dekádami. Od té doby vlastně takovému světu přestáváme rozumět. Klidné bezčasí\, které takový život na první pohled provází\, navíc může být z blízkého pohledu plné krutosti a zla. https://www.kosmas.cz/knihy/571281/venkov/?srsltid=AfmBOootW3zk3h6r_HOCSoQBKTpaQ4vyRnr5ikHSLBdt9zkMCFqMu8nH URL:https://pragueliterarycalendar.com/calendar/krest-basnicke-sbirky-venkov/ CATEGORIES:Poetry ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pragueliterarycalendar.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/762974699_5439336332958237_2225799455713787085_n-KWmWky.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Prague:20260929T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Prague:20260929T173000 DTSTAMP:20260928T112903Z CREATED:20260928T112903Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260928T112903Z UID:10005478-1790697600-1790703000@pragueliterarycalendar.com SUMMARY:Chris Mustazza – The Poetic Record: The Poet’s Voice as Data During the Period of Early Sound Record DESCRIPTION:Srdečně zveme v úterý 29. září 2026 od 16 hodin na přednášku Chrise Mustazzy (University of Pennsylvania). Příspěvek nazvaný The Poetic Record: The Poet’s Voice as Data During the Period of Early Sound Recording přednese v horním sále naší pražské budovy (Na Florenci 3\, Praha 1). \nVstup na přednášku v angličtině je zdarma a bez registrace. \nAnotace:\nThis talk presents the earliest attempts to record and collect the voices of poets\, during the relative nascence of sound recording. An unexpected and fascinating finding is that the earliest literary audio archives were produced by experimental linguists in speech labs meant for the study of dialects and regional accents. The linguists who made recordings—which included the earliest or only known recordings of eminent poets such as Ezra Pound\, Apollinaire\, Gertrude Stein\, James Weldon Johnson\, T.S. Eliot\, and Robert Frost—saw the recordings\, primarily\, as data\, rather than as literary relics or artefacts. We will look at and listen to some of these early recordings and place them within the intersecting though distinct histories of literary studies and experimental phonetics\, working to historicize the varying definition and teleology of poetry audio over the course of the century. The talk leads into our current moment of large scale digital audio archives like PennSound and the emergence of AI voices.

Drawing on Bohemian cultural history and its literary tradition\, the lecture explores the origins of this invention within Renaissance networks linking Italy and Central Europe\, and shows how Medea’s libertarian\, communal\, female-ruled kingdom echoes and subverts Charlemagne’s ideal sovereignty as a utopian model of female power.

This makes it an ideal setting for a lecture and workshop on the relationship between domestic space\, creativity\, and resistance. Drawing on over a decade of my own artistic practice in apartments in Amsterdam and Prague\, this session explores why homes and domestic interiors have long served as important sites for cultural production\, from the Middle Ages to contemporary experimental art. Philosophers and theorists such as Gaston Bachelard and Mark Turner have argued that the spaces we inhabit shape our sense of self: home is where identity is rehearsed\, stabilized\, and felt most intimately. Because domestic environments provide continuity and familiarity\, they help people maintain a coherent sense of who they are. At the same time\, when uncertainty or artistic intervention enters these spaces\, the home can become something else entirely: a threshold space outside ordinary social rules\, where new forms of imagination\, encounter\, and resistance become possible. Through examples from apartment theatre\, historical folklore\, and contemporary performance\, the lecture considers how ambiguity\, intimacy\, and atmosphere transform private space into a cultural laboratory. Participants will gain new perspectives on how environments shape identity and creativity\, while the workshop component invites them to reflect on and experiment with the hidden theatrical\, political\, and emotional potential of their own living spaces. This proposal is especially timely as cultural institutions increasingly seek more intimate\, participatory\, and community-based formats beyond conventional venues. \nAbout the lecturer: \nDr. Olga Krasa-Ryabets is a Canadian-Ukrainian theatre director and researcher based in Prague. She has been previously active at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) and the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis (NICA).\nOlga is the founder of the independent Centre for Aliative and Trivial Research (CenAR) where she has hosted events like the Symposium for Odd Research and created performances for over a decade. Her areas of interest include cognitive humanities and archeology of the everyday. Her most recent collaboration with the theoretical physicist Marek Liška explored the creation of imaginary black holes in urban apartments.\nShe holds a Theatre Specialist BA with Honours (University of Toronto)\, an MA in Alternative Theatre Directing and Puppetry (Academy of Performing Arts in Prague) and a PhD in Theatre Studies from the University of Amsterdam with a dissertation titled Secret Theatre: off-the-grid performance practices in socialist Poland and Czechoslovakia (2019). Most recently\, her work has been published in the Performance Research Journal and by Palgrave Press. \nhttp://www.aliatology.com \nLANGUAGE: English\nDOOR: 19:00 | LECTURE: 19:30\nENTRY by voluntary donations URL:https://pragueliterarycalendar.com/calendar/punctum-theory-club-olga-krasa-ryabets-non-places-and-experimental-culture/ LOCATION:Krásova 27\, 13000 Prague\, Czech Republic\, Krásova 27\, 13000 Prague\, Czech Republic CATEGORIES:Philosophy ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pragueliterarycalendar.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/811561890_1486853563467310_5605000757632536933_n-0B8o9c.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Prague:20261007T173000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Prague:20261007T193000 DTSTAMP:20260928T112657Z CREATED:20260928T112657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260928T112657Z UID:10005469-1791394200-1791401400@pragueliterarycalendar.com SUMMARY:kulatý stůl Czech Anglophone Literature DESCRIPTION:“Czech literary history offers a complex and fascinating case of literary multilingualism and the transnational circulation of literature\,” write the editors in the introduction to a special issue of the journal *Svět literatury* / *World of Literature* dedicated to Czech Anglophone literature.

The sacrament was kykeon\, a ritual drink whose composition and possible role in the initiatory experience have remained the subject of fascination and debate. \nCould the kykeon have contained psychoactive compounds derived from ergot? And could such a preparation have contributed to the profound experiences described by the initiates? Drawing on ancient sources\, archaeology\, chemistry and contemporary psychedelic science\, this talk examines the evidence behind the psychedelic hypothesis of Eleusis\, as well as the questions that remain unresolved. \nYet even if the pharmacological mystery of the kykeon could be solved\, would the molecule alone explain the Mysteries? Perhaps the more interesting question is not only what was in the cup\, but what transformed the initiate. \nBio:\nIsis Rita Anzel Koutrouli is a preclinical researcher at the Psychedelic Research Center of the National Institute of Mental Health (NUDZ) in Prague and a final-year PhD candidate in Neurosciences at the 3rd Faculty of Medicine\, Charles University\, under the supervision of Dr. Tomáš Páleníček. Her research focuses on the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances\, in preclinical models of substance use disorders\, combining behavioral pharmacology with molecular approaches.\nIsis is also one of the coordinators of the uniMIND Prague psychedelic community and academic journal club\, which is co-hosting this event.

From the 1950s to the 1970s\, Czechoslovakia became an unlikely centre of psychedelic research\, synthesising LSD on an industrial scale and investigating its potential in psychiatry and psychotherapy. This talk revisits this largely forgotten chapter of medical history\, exploring the scientists\, experiments\, therapeutic ambitions\, and political circumstances that shaped the Czechoslovak psychedelic experience—and what its legacy might mean for psychedelic medicine today. \nJoin us for a free lecture on this fascinating topic\, presented by William Norman Lytle\, MD\, Resident at VFN\, Psychiatry Clinic\, and Psycle coordinator. \nThe talk will be accompanied by a DJ set from @atlaskin_\, who will keep the music going after the lecture ends\, so stick around!

Mluví se o krizi seznamování. My se na téma podíváme optikou historické antropologie. Přiblížíme si\, jaké představy\, normy a rituály byly s touto problematikou spojeny\, jak se promítaly do umělecké tvorby\, ale zejména jakým způsobem a proč se napříč staletími proměňovaly. Jedná se o první z cyklu přednášek zaměřených na partnerské vztahy perspektivou kulturních dějin.
