And if the plane did crash, where was the wreckage? Writing for Le Monde in the days and months after the aircraft's disappearance, jo...

The Hunt for MH370
"A staggering, meticulous and frequently spine-chilling work of longform journalism." Trent Dalton Somewhere deep beneath the wild seas of the southern Indian Ocean, perhaps in the eerie underwater canyons of Broken Ridge along the Seventh Arc satellite band, lies the answer to the world's greatest aviation mystery. Why, on the night of 8 March 2014, did Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 suddenly U-turn, zig-zag up the Straits of Malacca, then vanish with 239 souls on board? Was it an elaborate murder-suicide by a rogue pilot? A terrible accident such as onboard fire, rapid decompression or systems failure? A terrorist hijacking gone wrong? Or something else entirely? Award-winning journalist E...

Football Club Geopolitics
Preface by Pascal Boniface. Why did the Euro soccer tournament follow in the footsteps of European integration?

O Capitalismo Estético na Era da Globalização
O estilo, a beleza, a mobilização do gosto e das sensibilidades impõem- se a cada dia que passa como imperativos estratégicos das marcas: o capitalismo do hiperconsumo é um modo de produção estética. As indústrias de consumo, o design, a moda, a publicidade, a decoração, o cinema criam, de forma massificada, produtos plenos de sedução, tentando assim veicular afectos e sensibilidade, num universo estético heterogéneo que vai proliferando. E o real vai-se construindo como uma imagem com dimensão estética, que se tornou cada vez mais importante na concorrência entre as marcas globais. É isto o capitalismo artístico, que se caracteriza pelo peso crescente das experiências e sensações, por um trabalho sistemático de estilização dos bens e dos locais comerciais, pela integração generalizada da arte, do visual e do afecto na esfera do consumo. Ao criar uma paisagem económica caótica a nível mundial estilizando o universo do quotidiano, «o capitalismo é menos um ogre que devora os seus próprios filhos do que um Jano de duas faces».
