“A” incrível história de António Salazar

Abbassa le palpebre, Jack: scendiamo lungo il sentiero, tra dalie e ortensie, ora siamo sul viale dei pitosfori, poi sul sassoso sentiero che conduce al mare, sulla spiaggia bianca. C'è una distesa di luce aperta e diffusa, la brezza è mite, lo sguardo si dilata nello spazio sull'ampia curva tirrenica. Ci capitarono in molti, forse per caso, forse ospiti occasionali che dovevano restare una sera e si fermavano un'estate intera: dal tempo in cui gli artisti si accorsero che per essere bello un paesaggio doveva mostrare anche l'anima, dalle Cinque Terre a Bocca di Magra sono passati centinaia e centinaia di pittori, scrittori, viaggiatori. Questa è la storia del più incredibile ‘buen retiro' intellettuale italiano. Del suo splendore e del suo declino.

Italy's northern border follows the watershed that separates the drainage basins of Northern and Southern Europe. Running mostly at high altitudes, it crosses snowfields and perennial glaciers--all of which are now melting as a result of anthropogenic climate change. As the watershed shifts so does the border, contradicting its representations on official maps. Italy, Austria, and Switzerland have consequently introduced the novel legal concept of a "moving border," one that acknowledges the volatility of geographical features once thought to be stable. A Moving Border: Alpine Cartographies of Climate Change builds upon the Italian Limes project by Studio Folder, which was devised in 2014 to survey the fluctuations of the boundary line across the Alps in real time. The book charts the effects of climate change on geopolitical understandings of border and the cartographic methods used to represent them. Locating the Italian condition alongside a longer political history of boundary making, the book brings together critical essays, visualizations, and unpublished documents from state archives. By examining the nexus of nationalism and cartography, A Moving Border details how borders are both material and imagined, and the ways global warming challenges Western conceptions of territory. Even more, it provides a blueprint for spatial intervention in a world where ecological processes are bound to dominate geopolitical affairs. A Moving Border features a foreword by Bruno Latour and texts by Stuart Elden, Mia Fuller, Francesca Hughes, and Wu Ming 1, and is co-published with ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe.

Come costruire un alieno. Ipotesi di biologia extraterrestre

Patrick Kindlon

Disregarded, disrespected and dismissed, Renny has a chip on his shoulder. Once an equal partner in a criminal syndicate that rules Las Vegas, he now finds himself living in a shack in the desert. But the shack has a workshop, and Renny's been busy. It's time to march his robot army into the neon hell of a cyberpunk Vegas and retake his seat at the table. Or take the wood from the table and build enough caskets for the whole syndicate. Old friends better run, because Operation PATIENCE! CONVICTION! REVENGE! is underway. Like an Elmore Leonard novel set in the world of Blade Runner, PATIENCE! CONVICTION! REVENGE! is offbeat and often funny, but all about the dark corners of cities and minds. A violent criminal genius with a bad case of monomania makes for the most fun you'll have with a comic this year. Written by Patrick Kindlon (There's Nothing There, We Can Never Go Home) and drawn by Marco Ferrari (Famous Monsters Presents) PATIENCE! CONVICTION! REVENGE! continues Kindlon's exploration of difficult characters and irreverent themes. Having broken the chains of good taste, Kindlon goes all-in and writes a vengeance-obsessed lunatic as if he's riding beside him - all wrapped in a gangster tale like no other!

Patience! Conviction! Revenge!
