Ad Marginem Press is Moscow-based independent publishing house est. 1993. We started as philosophy press, publishing Michel Foucault, Jacque Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Martin Heidegger etc. in 1990-s, than switched to contemporary Russian (sometimes translated) fiction (Vladimir Sorokin, Mikhail Elizarov, Eduard Limonov, Christian Kracht, Jonathan Littell etc). Last years we are doing mostly translations and mostly non-fiction, contemporary theory, art criticism, contemporary culture, autofiction. In 2012, we established a joint publishing project with the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. In 2016 we joined forces with design studio ABCdesign to create the imprint «A+A», which specializes in illustrated books of various genres, from children’s nonfiction to books on contemporary art and design.
Today Ad Marginem publishes translations of nonfiction with a focus on art, illustrated books for children and adults, and books on anthropology, economics, sociology, philosophy and cultural theory. However, we hope that all books that fall under the Ad Marginem brand, regardless of genre, are united by an interest in the current changes developing before our eyes, and a focus on the differences that enrich and intensify our human experience.
