Reshaping True Crime Stories from the Global Margins
Reshaping True Crime Stories from the Global Margins: Voicing the Less Dead uses criminal cases, news stories, and media analysis from around the globe to reflect upon the thousands and thousands of missing and murdered individuals from marginalized communities. Contributors ask readers to consider: How do we see these human beings compared to others, and how are they viewed by law enforcement and government officials? These vulnerable populations are often rendered invisible, so how do the media decide what story is told to the public and which one is neglected? Drawing on Steven Egger’s concept of the ‘less dead,’ this collection provides an interdisciplinary, global perspective on how vulnerable groups are erased and demonstrates ways their stories can be made visible.

Trafficking Data
"Trafficking Data argues that the movement of human data across borders for political and financial gain is disenfranchising consumers, eroding national autonomy, and destabilizing sovereignty. Focusing on the United States and China, it traces how US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have yielded an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, the Chinese government. Such "data trafficking," as the book names this insidious phenomenon, is enabled by the competing governance models of the world's two largest economies: mass government...
L'uomo che attraversò il tempo per me
La vita di Selma è concentrata su poche cose: lavoro, letture, e film in bianco e nero. Selma si nasconde in una comoda routine, fatta di scadenze e solitudine, dalla quale pochi amici cercano di farla uscire. Un giorno, un uomo che dice di chiamarsi Kyle Reese, come l’eroe di Terminator, la raggiunge al telefono. Selma non sa a chi appartenga quella voce, ma non riesce a interrompere il filo diretto con l’unica persona che sembra conoscerla davvero. Tra citazioni cinematografiche e conversazioni intime, Kyle insegna a Selma a guardare al mondo con occhi nuovi. Esiste la persona giusta? Come riconoscerla, quando abbiamo smesso di crederci? Forse, è tutto più semplice di quello che appare, e la felicità ci aspetta dietro l’angolo.
L'ultima parola
"Lei è o è mai stato membro del Partito comunista?" Alla domanda di J. Parnell Thomas, senatore e presidente della Commissione per le attività antiamericane, Dalton Trumbo - lo sceneggiatore più pagato e ammirato di Hollywood - non risponde. Alle sue spalle, per sostenerlo, ci sono Humprey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Gene Kelly, John Garfield e John Huston. È il 1947, e negli Stati Uniti l'ondata di paranoia anticomunista investe anche gli studios: centinaia di registi, attori e scrittori sono chiamati a deporre. Solo dieci di loro, gli Hollywood Ten, saranno inquisiti e imprigionati per essersi rifiutati di parlare, di tradire compagni e amici. Da allora Trumbo sarà costretto a lavorare pe...
