Da New York al Medio Oriente, dal palazzo dell'Onu all'hotel Ritz-Carlton di Riyad, Giuliano da Empoli ci accompagna in una serie di incursioni in territori dove il potere è basato sulla spettacolarizzazione, sull'uso spregiudicato delle informazioni e sulla capacità di generare shock continui. I predatori hanno capito come sfruttare il nuovo ordine globale. E il caos è il loro ambiente naturale.

In the most rigorous articulation of his philosophical system to date, Slavoj Žižek provides nothing short of a new definition of dialectical materialism.

Williams shows how understanding solidarity is an ongoing labor of self-scrutiny and communication in which difference and strangeness are affirmed, not elided.
