In Loss and Wonder at the World's End, Laura A. Ogden brings together animals, people, and things—from beavers, stolen photographs, lichen, American explorers, and birdsong—to catalog the ways environmental change and colonial history are entangled in the Fuegian Archipelago of southernmost Chile and Argentina. Repeated algal blooms have closed fisheries in the archipelago. Glaciers are in retreat. Extractive industries such as commercial forestry, natural gas production, and salmon farming along with the introduction of nonnative species are rapidly transforming assemblages of life. Ogden archives forms of loss—including territory, language, sovereignty, and life itself—as well as forms of wonder, or moments when life continues to flourish even in the ruins of these devastations. Her account draws on long-term ethnographic research with settler and Indigenous communities; archival photographs; explorer journals; and experiments in natural history and performance studies. Loss and Wonder at the World's End frames environmental change as imperialism's shadow, a darkness cast over the earth in the wake of other losses.

Gender and Human Rights in a Global, Mobile Era delves into feminist debates surrounding the relationship between gender and human rights through engaging feminist perspectives on the multifaceted issue of human trafficking. Building on analyses of domestic servitude, commercial sex, and labor trafficking by military contractors, and grounded in intersectional feminist cosmopolitanism and feminist theorizing on vulnerability, precarity, and ethical interdependence, Laura Hebert makes several interrelated contributions. As she explores how a feminist gender analysis illuminates the structures and norms enabling trafficking, Hebert simultaneously considers the future of feminist rights advocacy. Emphasizing the sociality of human rights, she encourages feminist scholars and activists to look beyond states as the duty-bearers of human rights and the assumption that human rights are made meaningful mainly through the establishment of legal rights at the national level. She challenges the idea that "feminism" can be reduced to advocacy on behalf of women’s rights. She also encourages critical reflection on how divisions associated with feminist politics have impeded opportunities for the building of feminist solidarities across differences aimed at the realization of the human rights of all. Strongly interdisciplinary, Gender and Human Rights in a Global, Mobile Era will be of interest to students and scholars throughout the social sciences and humanities.

Può l’amore per un’artista spingersi a tal punto da organizzare il suo rapimento? Un giorno Laura, cantautrice italo americana di fama internazionale, si sveglia e scopre di essere stata rapita da un gruppo di fan. A capo della gang c’è Emma, la fondatrice del suo più grande fan club. I giorni di prigionia saranno l’occasione per entrambe di conoscersi e di ripercorrere alcuni episodi della propria vita. Tuttavia, a Laura qualcosa non quadra: la situazione ha degli aspetti poco chiari che non la convincono del tutto e non smette mai di desiderare la sua libertà. Ma quando riuscirà finalmente a ottenerla, troverà la sua vita sconvolta da un profondo e inesorabile cambiamento. Tornano Laura e Paola, e altri personaggi legati alle vite delle protagoniste. Un’incursione nel mondo saffico (e dintorni) e in quello un po’ pazzo dei fan. Ma è soprattutto un viaggio alla scoperta della nostra straordinaria capacità di amare oltre le convenzioni; di superare i nostri condizionamenti e andare oltre noi stessi. Nonché di accettare ciò che la vita ci mette davanti anche quando non corrisponde esattamente ai nostri sogni.
