L’Okjökull, un ghiacciaio che da tempi immemorabili si ergeva su quasi venti chilometri quadrati di suolo islandese, oggi è una misera striscia di ghiaccio inerte, e nei prossimi duecento anni potrebbero essere dichiarati morti anche tutti gli altri ghiacciai dell’isola. Ma prima di allora, sulla terra intera, i nostri figli e nipoti vivranno già in un ambiente molto diverso da quello di innumerevoli generazioni del passato: l’aumento delle temperature e del livello dei mari e lo stravolgimento chimico delle loro acque provocati dalle attività umane avranno distrutto ecosistemi millenari, potenziato uragani e inondazioni, eroso terre abitabili e coltivabili e costretto a migrazioni di massa le specie viventi, compresa la nostra. E allora perché restiamo immobili, o quasi? Forse perché quei cento o duecento anni non li sentiamo così vicini, e perché gli appelli allarmati degli scienziati sul «riscaldamento globale» o sulla «acidificazione degli oceani» non riescono a toccarci cognitivamente ed emotivamente: resteranno rumore bianco finché il passato collettivo, i miti, la fantasia non consegneranno loro un’anima, consentendoci di interiorizzarne un’immagine e un significato. È questo il compito che si è dato Andri Snær Magnason, un narratore che alla scienza e all’attivismo ambientale ha dedicato la vita. Intrecciando storie di famiglia, conversazioni future tra figlie e pronipoti, interviste al dalai-lama, incursioni nella poesia scaldica e in quella romantica, scoperte di nessi inaspettati, come quello tra Auðhumla e Kamadhenu, mucche ancestrali di mitologie tra loro lontane, \u003cem\u003eIl tempo e l’acqua\u003c\/em\u003e «racconta» i dati scientifici, li immerge nel patrimonio culturale comune per investirli di senso, e aiutarci a fare un piccolo passo più in là.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IPERBOREA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36539338555553,"sku":"","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/20200717133205_cover_tempoeacquacopia.jpg?v=1642033369"},{"product_id":"m-luomo-della-provvidenza","title":"M.

Benito Mussolini, il “figlio del secolo” che nel 1919, rovinosamente sconfitto alle elezioni, sedeva nell’ufficio del Popolo d’Italia pronto a fronteggiare i suoi nemici, adesso, vincitore su tutti i fronti, sembra in punto di morte a causa di un’ulcera che lo azzanna da dentro.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCosì si apre il secondo tempo della sciagurata epopea del fascismo narrato da Scurati con la costruzione e lo stile del romanzo.

Attorno a lui gli antichi camerati si sbranano tra loro come una muta di cani. Il Duce invece diventa ipermetrope, vuole misurarsi solo con le cose lontane, con la grande Storia. A dirimere le beghe tra i gerarchi mette Augusto Turati, tragico nel suo tentativo di rettitudine; dimentica ogni riconoscenza verso Margherita Sarfatti; cerca di placare gli ardori della figlia Edda dandola in sposa a Galeazzo Ciano; affida a Badoglio e Graziani l’impresa africana, celebrata dalla retorica dell’immensità delle dune ma combattuta nella realtà come la più sporca delle guerre, fino all’orrore dei gas e dei campi di concentramento.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIl cammino di\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eM.

Dante, il poeta che inventò l'Italia","description":"Aldo Cazzullo. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDante è il poeta che inventò l'Italia. Non ci ha dato soltanto una lingua; ci ha dato soprattutto un'idea di noi stessi e del nostro Paese: il «bel Paese» dove si dice «sì». Una terra unita dalla cultura e dalla bellezza, destinata a un ruolo universale: perché raccoglie l'eredità dell'Impero romano e del mondo classico; ed è la culla della cristianità e dell'umanesimo. L'Italia non nasce da una guerra o dalla diplomazia; nasce dai versi di Dante. Non solo. Dante è il poeta delle donne. È solo grazie alla donna – scrive – se la specie umana supera qualsiasi cosa contenuta nel cerchio della luna, vale a dire sulla Terra. La donna è il capolavoro di Dio, la meraviglia del creato; e Beatrice, la donna amata, per Dante è la meraviglia delle meraviglie. Sarà lei a condurlo alla salvezza. Ma il poeta ha parole straordinarie anche per le donne infelicemente innamorate, e per le vite spente dalla violenza degli uomini: come quella di Francesca da Rimini. Aldo Cazzullo ha scritto il romanzo della Divina Commedia. Ha ricostruito parola per parola il viaggio di Dante nell'Inferno. Gli incontri più noti, da Ulisse al conte Ugolino. E i tanti personaggi maledetti ma grandiosi che abbiamo dimenticato: la fierezza di Farinata degli Uberti, la bestialità di Vanni Fucci, la saggezza di Brunetto Latini, la malvagità di Filippo Argenti. Nello stesso tempo, Cazzullo racconta – con frequenti incursioni nella storia e nell'attualità – l'altro viaggio di Dante: quello in Italia. Nella Divina Commedia sono descritti il lago di Garda, Scilla e Cariddi, le terre perdute dell'Istria e della Dalmazia, l'Arsenale di Venezia, le acque di Mantova, la «fortunata terra di Puglia», la bellezza e gli scandali di Roma, Genova, Firenze e delle altre città toscane. Dante è severo con i compatrioti. Denuncia i politici corrotti, i Papi simoniaci, i banchieri ladri, gli usurai, e tutti coloro che antepongono l'interesse privato a quello pubblico. Ma nello stesso tempo esalta la nostra umanità e la nostra capacità di resistere e rinascere dopo le sventure, le guerre, le epidemie; sino a «riveder le stelle».\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"MONDADORI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37047550935201,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/dantearivederelestelle.jpg?v=1642032942"},{"product_id":"la-lezione-di-enea","title":"La lezione di Enea","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSe in tempo di pace e di prosperità chiediamo a Omero di insegnarci la vita, a ogni rivolgimento della Storia dovremmo deporre \u003ci\u003eIliade\u003c\/i\u003e e \u003ci\u003eOdissea\u003c\/i\u003e e affrettarci a riprendere in mano l'\u003ci\u003eEneide\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eAndrea Marcolongo\u003c\/strong\u003e ci fa scoprire l'essenza vera di Enea.

Il canto di Enea è destinato al momento in cui si sperimenta l'urgenza di raccapezzarsi in un dopo che stordisce per quanto è diverso dal prima in cui si è sempre vissuto. Enea è l'eroe che vaga nel mondo portandosi sulle spalle anziani e bambini. È colui che viaggia su una nave senza nocchiero alla ricerca di un nuovo inizio, di una terra promessa in cui ricominciare.

Una notte fugge di casa come una ladra, alla ricerca di qualcosa che possa raddrizzare l'esistenza delle persone che ama – e magari anche la sua. L'unica maniera è lasciare la Romania per raggiungere l'Italia, un posto pieno di promesse dove i sogni sembrano piú vicini. Si trasferisce cosí a Milano a fare di volta in volta la badante, la baby-sitter, l'infermiera. Dovrebbe restare via poco tempo, solo per racimolare un po' di soldi, invece pian piano la sua vita si sdoppia e i ritorni si fanno sempre piú rari. Quando le accade di rimettere piede nella sua vecchia casa di campagna, si rende conto che i figli sono ostili, il marito ancora piú distante. E le occhiate ricevute ogni volta che riparte diventano ben presto cicatrici. Un giorno la raggiunge a Milano una telefonata, quella che nessuno vorrebbe mai ricevere: suo figlio Manuel ha avuto un incidente. Tornata in Romania, Daniela siederà accanto al ragazzo addormentato trascorrendo ostinatamente i suoi giorni a raccontargli di quando erano lontani, nella speranza che lui si svegli. Con una domanda sempre in testa: una madre che è stata tanto tempo lontana può ancora dirsi madre? A narrare questa storia sono Manuel, Daniela e Angelica, la figlia piú grande.

Denied official permission to make the work, Graham’s photographs were taken discreetly, usually without looking through the camera, resulting in a spatial disorientation that emphasised the unmoored distress of vulnerable citizens. The work shocked many on its release – leading Magnum photographers were outraged by its use of colour in a classic documentary topic, while others celebrated how it straddled the world of activism and art (it was exhibited at both Trade Union conferences and the Museum of Modern Art, New York). Graham forged a fresh form of engaged photography, mixing elements of social documentary, ‘new colour’ and reportage to create a striking body of work that endures to this day.

Named by the Portuguese in their ‘Age of Discovery’, the Cape’s position at the mid-point along the ‘Spice Route’ was viewed with great optimism for its potential to open up a valuable maritime passageway. The ‘refreshment station’ later established there set into motion flows of capital from ‘east’ to ‘west’. Good Hope brings together cumulative layers of documentary prose, personal essay, and found photographic material, along with sources ranging from apartheid-era trade journals, tourist pamphlets, and National Geographic and Life magazines, to contemporary newspapers and family albums. It offers both an intimate and critical examination of White supremacist settler-colonialism in the present, and a questioning of the ethics and politics involved in the very acts of looking, discovering, collecting, codifying, preserving, naming, knowing, and putting to language.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOTA bound paperback with flaps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e15. 3 x 20.3cm, 192 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-913620-42-4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOctober 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127531737312,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/cover648_860x_97149189-27b0-46a9-ad1e-b9264319f580.jpg?v=1642033262"},{"product_id":"white-shoes-nona-faustine","title":"White Shoes - Nona Faustine","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNona Faustine confronts ...

The quintessential American melting pot that stretched like a panorama in this equalising space was a visible reality.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRozovsky’s colour photographs capture the interplay between city and nature, creating a vision of the park as a democratic and nurturing public space, one where the landscape and seasons form a protean backdrop to a complex social reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmbossed hardback\u003cbr\u003e24 x 28.5cm, 96 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarch 2021\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE SIGNED EDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe signed edition includes an extra image plate signed by the artist and \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eglued into\u003c\/span\u003e the inside back cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42135353458912,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/cover461_860x_40f716da-f805-4b9c-a6b9-0533eeefca10.jpg?v=1642033376"},{"product_id":"what-she-said-deanna-templeton","title":"What She Said - Deanna Templeton","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“\u003cstrong\u003eProfound documentation of life as a teenage girl\u003c\/strong\u003e“ – \u003cem\u003eAnOther\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“\u003cstrong\u003eThe artist’s street portraits of young Californian goths and punks took her back to her own adolescence in the 1980s, a troubled period she recorded in an intense journal\u003c\/strong\u003e” – Sean O’Hagan, \u003cem\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“\u003cstrong\u003e[\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat She Said\u003c\/em\u003e]\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eburrows deep inside the internal world of young women [and] underlines youth's universal pains and joys – from anxieties about body image to the feverish intensity of live punk shows.\u003c\/strong\u003e” – \u003cem\u003ei-D\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e'All I look forward to is the weekends, and sometimes they suck just as bad as the week does.

Throughout this eclectic sequence are the recurring presences of iconography, of souvenirs and mementos, and of the image-makers that surround us day to day. Forming a winding, ruminative road trip, Soth’s photographs are followed by his own notes and reflections in an extended afterword. ‘If the pictures in this book are about anything other than their shimmering surfaces,’ he writes, ‘they are about the process of their own making.

Dugan has long used photography to understand their own identity and to connect with others on a deeper level.

All’inizio del Novecento, Freud individuò nell’inconscio “l’intima terra straniera”, il lato oscuro della struttura ben ordinata di progresso e razionalità. Negli anni ’70 Deleuze e Guattari allargarono l’orizzonte e descrissero l’inconscio come un laboratorio, una forza desiderante che produce incessantemente immaginazione. Oggi siamo entrati in una terza era, “la terra straniera non è più intima, ma orribilmente pubblica”: l’inconscio, nota Bifo, è stato “esternalizzato e trascinato dal turbine rizomatico dell’esperienza della rete digitale, fino al punto dell’esplosione psicotica”. Parallelamente, l’irruzione del virus nel panorama globale e l’esaurimento delle risorse psichiche e fisiche dovuto all’invecchiamento impongono all’inconscio individuale e collettivo di fare i conti con la prospettiva radicale dell’estinzione umana. In questa impetuosa e generosa esplorazione delle contraddizioni del presente Franco Bifo Berardi indaga la terza fase della psicosfera e individua le sfide che con urgenza estrema si pongono alle nostre possibilità di azione e alla nostra immaginazione.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"NOTTETEMPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42745322307808,"sku":"","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/il-terzo-inconscio-franco-bifo-berardi.jpg?v=1650956651"},{"product_id":"cosi-per-sempre-chiara-valerio","title":"Così per sempre - Chiara Valerio","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eL’uomo sulla terrazza è antico quasi come la città che sta guardando.

Nel 1897 la storia d’amore con Mina Harker non è finita: per chi non è piú legato allo scorrere del tempo, nulla può mai finire. Oggi lui sta a Roma, che è una città eterna, e lei vive a Venezia, che è una città immortale. L’eternità e l’immortalità sono due cose diverse, Dracula l’ha capito e Mina no.

Il loro gatto Zibetto può arrampicarsi anche per dieci piani e porta alle zampe anteriori due vistosi anelli d’oro, per l’esattezza due fedi nuziali. Questa storia, ambientata oggi tra Roma e Venezia, attraversa i secoli e affonda le sue radici alla fine dell’Ottocento, quando il conte Dracula lascia la Transilvania per trasferirsi in Occidente. È allora che ha preso il nome di Giacomo Koch e ha cominciato a interessarsi alla professione medica, ed è oggi che lavora come anatomopatologo all’ospedale Fatebenefratelli. Attraversando la grande stagione delle scienze, Giacomo ha capito molte cose. La prima è che tutto ciò che scorre è nutrimento, non solo il sangue, per quanto il sangue umano rappresenti ancora il suo cibo preferito. Ha capito che non si può vincere la nostalgia per i prodigiosi limiti dei viventi, e che grazie alla forza di gravità ogni uomo e ogni donna contengono l’universo; sa, soprattutto, che quando nei vampiri scorre il sangue essi diventano umani, e come gli umani sono vulnerabili, possono essere ammazzati. Mina, invece, non ha voluto capire altro che sé stessa, ha vissuto gli ultimi sessant’anni insieme a una donna che il Conte ha ucciso – come, in effetti, ha ucciso tutti gli amori della sua vita – e pensa, per punirlo, di dover distruggere l’unica vera grande passione di Dracula: gli esseri umani. Decide, nella Venezia dove tutto scorre, di aprire un salone di bellezza in cui il tempo non scorra piú. Dal salone di Mina chiunque entri uscirà uguale a sé stesso. Per sempre.

A cinquantun anni, con addosso una corta tunica di colore rosato e un mantello di velluto verde, Leonardo da Vinci incarna in tutto e per tutto il rinomato artista che da Milano è piombato fra i tradizionalisti repubblicani fiorentini, con le loro vesti lunghe e semplici e i capelli tagliati corti. Nel suo studio, tra disegni sparpagliati ovunque, garzoni che macinano pigmenti, mecenati e muse scontente, prende vita, pennellata dopo pennellata, il ritratto di Lisa del Giocondo, la graziosa moglie di un mercante di sete. Ma la figura che affiora dalla tavola di pioppo, il suo sorriso, soprattutto, non hanno molto a che fare con la modella in posa davanti al ca - valletto. Come Prometeo, Leonardo ha infuso nella sua opera migliore il fuoco della vita, e ora Monna Lisa ha un’anima propria che le consente non solo di percepire tutto ciò che la circonda, ma anche di farsi sentire dal suo creatore, a cui la lega un amore assoluto. Per anni da Vinci e il suo dipinto peregrinano da una città all’altra, incapaci di vivere l’uno senza l’altro, fino a quando la morte dell’artista non giunge a separarli, lasciando l’opera in balia di un incerto destino. Cinquecento anni dopo, Monna Lisa osserva il mondo dalla sua prigione di vetro al Louvre, visitata ogni giorno da migliaia di turisti disposti a fare ore di coda solo per guardarla a bocca aperta. È considerata l’opera d’arte più celebre del mondo, ma nessuno conosce il segreto della sua esistenza. Eppure, le sue avventure meritano attenzione, poiché ha vissuto molte vite ed è stata amata da imperatori, re e ladri. È sopravvissuta a rapimenti e aggressioni, a una rivoluzione e due guerre mondiali. E ora vuole solo raccontare la sua storia, una storia di rivalità, intrighi e potere.

Desiderio che fa gravitare i personaggi attorno ai sogni e alle ambizioni di una vita, o solo di una stagione. Come accade al protagonista, che all'inizio della storia ha vent'anni, più di un talento ma poca perseveranza. Di una cosa però è sicuro, vuole andarsene da Rozzano, percorrere in senso inverso i tre chilometri e mezzo di via dei Missaglia, lasciarsi alle spalle l'insignificanza e la marginalità e appartenere per sempre alla città, dove spera di trovare anche l'amore, che sin dall'adolescenza insegue senza fortuna, invaghendosi di ragazzi tanto belli quanto sfuggenti. In una Milano ibrida e violenta, grottesca e straripante – che sembra tradire le promesse di quiete e liberazione immaginate da lontano –, il protagonista dovrà fare i conti con le derive del desiderio, provando a capire quale sia il suo posto nell'ordine geografico ed emotivo di questi anni irradiati di cortocircuiti tra reale e virtuale, tra immagine ed esperienza incarnata. Quando inizia una relazione con un ragazzo più giovane di lui e bellissimo, si sente finalmente dentro il cono di luce dorata della felicità: ama, ed è corrisposto. Eppure non basta trovarsi nel luogo che si è sempre sognato, non basta l'amore. Si è inchiodati a se stessi, in carne e ossessioni: per riuscire a occupare il proprio posto nel mondo non si può ignorarlo. Partendo da una attitudine rigorosa, analitica, fenomenologica nei confronti del reale, Bazzi trova sintesi espressive illuminanti e restituisce tutta la potenzialità estetica latente in ogni nostro gesto e manifestazione, disegnando un percorso di formazione ricchissimo e ultracontemporaneo.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"MONDADORI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42883357802720,"sku":"","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/corpiminori.jpg?v=1653233500"},{"product_id":"the-devil-is-leaving-his-cave-wendy-ewald","title":"The Devil is leaving his Cave - Wendy Ewald","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1990, a year before the Zapatistas’ armed revolt, Wendy Ewald was invited to conduct photography classes for Mayan, Ladino, and Tzotzil children living in Chiapas, the southernmost province of Mexico. The sponsoring organization was the Mayan writers’ cooperative, Sna Jtz-ibajom (The House of the Writers). While cameras and camcorders were hardly novelties in Chiapas, they were generally used by tourists whose picture-taking reinforced their own cultural biases. Ewald did not take pictures; instead she guided her students in taking their own pictures of their daily lives, dreams, desires, and fantasies. These briefs resonated with the importances held by dreams in Mayan culture, which considers them as real as waking life.

This book brings together Ewald’s original project with new work made in collaboration with fifteen young Mexican Americans living in Chicago, coordinated with the help of Centro Romero, an immigrant service organisation. These images respond to many of the same subjects as those by Ewald’s 1990s students, with an emphasis now on capturing inner lives and dreams as a way of reckoning with the unvoiced experiences of immigration. The themes of restriction and self-reflection that emerged from this new work were intensified by being made in part under COVID lockdown. Together, the Chiapas and Chicago projects trace the differences between growing up in different Mexican geographies with diverse histories, while holding on to the universal joys and sorrows of childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith essays by Wendy Ewald, Abigail Winograd, and Edgar Garcia.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOTA bound paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e20 x 24.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e, 144 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42923687608544,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/TheDevil_angled_860x_cb5bdc48-fa31-4255-840f-95ffe7027142.jpg?v=1654159674"},{"product_id":"contact-high-d-angelo-lovell-williams","title":"Contact High - D’Angelo Lovell Williams","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth an artist’s book and comprehensive inquisition of D’Angelo Lovell Williams’s work to date, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eContact High\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e offers an expansive engagement with the visualisation of desire and depiction of the Black body.

This lack of recognition has much to do with Hare’s fanatical aversion to the commercial realms of the art world even at the height of his professional success. Perhaps his most overt declaration of aesthetic disavowal was his ultimate decision to renounce his identity as an artist in 1985 and pursue a career as a clinical therapist specializing in ‘work abuse’.

At the heart of the Irish conflict lays the land — who owns it, who controls it, whose history it expresses. Paul Graham’s quietly radical book keeps this material truth in mind as it uniquely combines landscape and conflict photography, seducing us with bucolic views in which telling details only gradually appear: painted kerbs, distant soldiers or helicopters, flags and graffiti, paint-splattered roads, each tacitly aligning that location to its Republican or Loyalist allegiance. Pastoral photographs of green fields and hedgerows reveal themselves to be images of conflict and dispute — despite the steadiness of the photographic frame and the clarity of Graham’s vision, this is unsettled land. Originally published in 1986, \u003cem\u003eTroubled Land\u003c\/em\u003e is reprinted here for the first time in thirty-five years. Controversial then for its use of colour and refusal to follow the clichéd tropes of photojournalism, the book was pivotal in providing a fresh perspective on Northern Ireland’s ‘Troubles’ and left a lasting impact on landscape photography, suggesting how it might engage with politics and society rather than escape from them.

In this ongoing project, currently consisting of over a thousand negatives, Deal sets out to provide a visual record of overlooked communities and the cultural characteristics gradually being erased by gentrification, as well as a depiction of communities of colour whose members are often portrayed with negative connotations. Through these instinctive black-and-white photographs, Deal’s down-to-earth approach to his subjects is made apparent; at times candid and blurred, other times poised and sharply focussed, the series builds to convey the dynamism and vibrancy of family, community, and individual life in the Third Ward. The scratches and dust left on the negatives reflect the marks of lived life and simultaneously suggest the fragility of these documents and the corresponding precarity of the fabrics of social life they often depict. Deal’s almost conversational tone — the antithesis of media portrayals of the neighbourhood — invites his viewers in with a sense of joy and intuitive playfulness. From these alternately staged and documentary images, a new narrative emerges about a reductively and oppressively narrativized place, celebrating the agency and freedom that the photographic medium can offer.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes an extended essay by Houston-based fiction writer, art critic and essayist, Garry Reece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFaux leather embossed hardcover\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e24 x 28 cm, 160 pages \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABOUT THE SIGNED EDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and glued into the inside back cover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACKBOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42923958665440,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/Beautiful_Still_860x_26798252-b85e-430d-9809-91cade468b55.jpg?v=1654165954"},{"product_id":"i-giardini-invisibili-un-manifesto-botanico-antonio-perazzi","title":"I giardini invisibili.

Un prato spontaneo ai margini delle zone abitate. Un'isola verde tra i palazzi. La natura si mostra in varie forme, e passeggiando in centro o lungo un sentiero di campagna stiamo in fondo assistendo allo stesso spettacolo. Un albero piantato nel cortile di una scuola influisce con la sua presenza sulla flora di un'aiuola nel caos del traffico, i cui semi andranno a costituire la stupefacente varietà di un prato incolto, e la combinazione di questi elementi condizionerà silenziosamente anche il più inconsapevole osservatore. Viviamo immersi nella molteplicità botanica, eppure siamo così abituati a esserne circondati da non renderci conto del perfetto equilibrio tra gli elementi che è in grado di instaurarsi anche nella più piccola porzione di vegetazione. Antonio Perazzi torna all'origine del concetto stesso di giardino per esporre il suo manifesto botanico, con l'esperienza del paesaggista che è stato in grado di permettere alla natura di svilupparsi senza piegarla al volere dell'artefice. La simbiosi che si instaura tra noi, le piante e il giardino sublima la fatica della cura in un tripudio di varietà, in cui tutto trova il suo incastro e in cui il selvatico si riappropria dei suoi spazi. Rispettando queste regole possiamo allora osservare con stupore varietà esotiche di piccoli fiori preziosi che grazie a congiunzioni quasi miracolose - una mimosa che fa ombra, una begonia in vaso lì vicino - riescono a fiorire e invadere le fughe del selciato per una stagione. Piccole meraviglie che bisogna solo imparare a osservare. Dopo \"Il paradiso è un giardino selvatico\", Antonio Perazzi continua la sua ricerca botanica, addentrandosi stavolta nello studio delle potenzialità intrinseche del paesaggio, fra piante domestiche e arbusti selvatici, alla ricerca dei Giardini invisibili sotto i nostri occhi.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"UTET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42962358829280,"sku":"","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/products\/prima_perazzi_i-giardini-invisibili.jpg?v=1655103850"},{"product_id":"maledetta-sfortuna-carlotta-vagnoli","title":"Maledetta sfortuna.

È la leggenda di Dokkhin Rai, uno spirito terribile che, spargendo il terrore, detta la sua legge selvaggia e regna incontrastato sulla foresta. Sotto le sembianze di una tigre, compare all'improvviso al cospetto degli sventurati che osano avventurarsi nel suo reame e ne divora ossa, pelle, mani. È la leggenda di Bon Bibi e di suo fratello Shah Jongoli, due esseri dal grande potere che accorrono da un deserto lontano, richiamati dalle preghiere e dalle suppliche delle creature della giungla in preda al terrore. Forte e misericordiosa Bon Bibi, guerriero dall'energia mostruosa Sha Jongoli, dopo una lotta selvaggia i due pongono fine alla tirannia di Dokkhin Rai, confinandolo alla foce del fiume, là dove l'acqua si unisce alla terra. Bon Bibi impone così la sua nuova legge, una legge che nasce dalla sua sagacia: nel regno degli umani nessun demone dovrà mettere piede; alla foce del fiume, invece, dove Dokkhin Rai avrà la sua fortezza, nessun essere umano dovrà avventurarsi. È, infine, la leggenda di Dhona, il mercante detto il Riccone, che non può accontentarsi dell'agiatezza raggiunta. La sua cupidigia agogna una nuova avventura, un nuovo viaggio al di là di ogni confine e proibizione.
