Even in the twenty-first century, as w...

La decisione di comprarsi una vagina e la rilettura di un testo dimenticato di Valerie Solanas sono all'origine di una riflessione teorica e filosofica su genere, identità e transizione, a partire da un presupposto teoricamente sovversivo: tutti gli esseri umani sono femmine, anche – specialmente – se non sono donne. In un flusso di coscienza che racconta il confronto personale e politico con la psicanalisi, la pratica artistica, la pornografia, la medicina, le incarnazioni dell'identità n...

Such technologies are by no means safe; they come with immense risks and provide an excuse for those who would prefer to avoid limiting em...

«Se l'unico compito della critica è offrire cibo per il pensiero, io dico: lasciamo che il pensiero muoia di fame.» Negli anni successivi alla pubblicazione di «Sull'attrazione per le donne», il saggio che nel 2018 accese il dibattito sul rapporto tra desiderio, femminismo e transizione di genere, Andrea Long Chu si è affermata come una delle voci più indipendenti e raffinate del panorama contemporaneo, fino a ricevere il Premio Pulitzer per la critica nel 2023. Nei suoi scritti Chu sfida ...

My research has uncovered one of the very first female divers who explored the wreckage of the famed Andrea Doria luxury liner. It sank near Nantucket Island on July 25, 1956, following a collision with the Swedish ship Stockholm. In 1967, when diver Eve Bartram dove on the remnants, the luxury liner was still nicely preserved, including its famed teakwood deck. Bartram also appears in a Long Island shipwreck adventure that I've researched and described in my e-book.

Dans une Rome où les croix gammées s'arrêtent sous les fenêtres du pape, les nazis capturent environ deux mille juifs qui mourront dans les camps de concentrati...

I've lived it myself. I wrote this book to share the knowledge I wish I'd known ten years ago—before I became a distance dad, before the legal battles, and before parental alienation began. It would have saved me so much time, energy, sanity, and money. You can't always be near your child. But that doesn't mean you can't still be their dad. Read this book if you want to build bonds that distance, legal obstacles, or parental alienation can't break.Own Fathe...
