Posthuman Folklore is the first work of its kind: both an overview of posthumanism as it applies to folklore studies and an investigation of “vernacular posthumanisms”, the ways in which people are increasingly performing the posthuman.

Документально-приключенческий роман о радикальных политических экспериментах пиратов на Мадагаскаре XVII–XVIII веков.

Дэвид Гребер критикует европоцентричный подход, по которому "дикие народы" могут стать цивилизованными лишь под пристальным европейским надзором. На самом деле истоки либеральных и демократических идей лежат далеко за пределами "западной цивилизации".

Hendrix, formerly a pilot for the Delta Queen Steamboat Co., has worked on the Mississippi for fifty years.

Mai i singoli individui. Tantomeno i leader. Ritenuti irrilevanti, mero prodotto della realtà che pensano di determinare. Nella migliore accezione, soggetti che incarnano lo spirito del tempo. "
