Clerks of the Passage
This is a book about the movement of people across borders. Its roots are real and full of characters and heroic stories of the sort one might expect from migration tales.

Based on an ethnography of immortalist communities—those who believe humans can extend their personal existence indefinitely through technological means—and an examination of other ...
The Queer Commons
The conventional idea of the commons--a resource managed by the community that uses it--might appear anachronistic as global capitalism attempts to privatize and commodify social life. Against these trends, contemporary queer energies have been directed toward commons-forming initiatives from activist provision of social services to the maintenance of networks around queer art, protest, public sex, and bar cultures that sustain queer lives otherwise marginalized by heteronormative society and mainstream LGBTQ politics. This issue forges a connection between the common and the queer, asking how the category "queer" might open up a discourse that has emerged as one of the most important challe...
