Through the lens of performance and politics, this collection zooms in on the context-specific dimensions, analogies, and micro-histories of the Left to better understand the larger picture. It proposes a search for the Left not from totalising Leftist ideological positions and partisan politics but from ethical dimensions through smaller-scale Left-leaning struggles; not from the political to the aesthetic, but from the potentiality of art to offer new political imagination and critique; not from the individual subordinated to the collective, but from the dialectics of subjectivity and collectivity. This is not an attempt at a sweeping global overview of Leftist cultures either, but a collection that brings together culture-specific and comparative perspectives. This book searches for fragments of and on the Left, past and present, through which to rethink and patch a fragmented world.

With an eye to recovering the experiences of those in frontier zones of contact, Savage Worlds maps a wide range of different encounters between Germans and non-European indigenous peoples in the age of high imperialism. Examining outbreaks of radical violence as well as instances of mutual co-operation, it examines the differing goals and experiences of German explorers, settlers, travellers, merchants, and academics, and how the variety of projects they undertook shaped their relationship with the indigenous peoples they encountered. Examining the multifaceted nature of German interactions with indigenous populations, this volume offers historians and anthropologists clear evidence of the complexity of the colonial frontier and frontier zone encounters. It poses the question of how far Germans were able to overcome their initial belief that, in leaving Europe, they were entering 'savage worlds'.
During the night of 25 July 1941, assassins planted a time bomb in the bed of the former French Interior Minister, Marx Dormoy. The explosion on the following morning launched a two-year investigation that traced Dormoy’s murder to the highest echelons of the Vichy regime. Dormoy, who had led a 1937 investigation into the “Cagoule,” a violent right-wing terrorist organization, was the victim of a captivating revenge plot. Based on the meticulous examination of thousands of documents, Assassination in Vichy tells the story of Dormoy’s murder and the investigation that followed. At the heart of this book lies a true crime that was sensational in its day. A microhistory that tells a larger and more significant story about the development of far-right political movements, domestic terrorism, and the importance of courage, Assassination in Vichy explores the impact of France’s deep political divisions, wartime choices, and post-war memory.
The Letter Kills will include approximately 30 essays: a few unpublished, but most of them already published in English, in Italian, in French. Each essay deals with a case, placed at the intersection of a variety of disciplines: history, art history, anthropology, literature. The topics will include Augustine, Giorgione, Vasari, Hume, Proust, microhistory, werewolves, shamans, fake news, and so on. The potential reader, presumably struck by this variety, will ask: is it possible to identify a running thread, a common element in those essays? Possibly – starting from the title, which overturns the hierarchy between letter and spirit emphasized by Paul (2. Corinthians 3:4-6). If we reconstruct the letter (of a text, of an image) and the contexts in which it is delivered and received, we’ll discover that the “letter” is a tool, and sometimes a weapon, which can change (as sometimes did change) the world. But this reconstruction is not self-evident. Each essay will be an exercise in slow reading – Friedrich Nietzsche’s definition of philology – associated with the speed of the web. (An association analyzed in the essay Conversations with Orion). Hopefully, the reader will share the feeling of being involved in the search.
