        Die Sprache des Feuers

        Roman

        by Don Winslow, Chris Hirte

        Jack Wade war der Star der Abteilung für Brandstiftung des Orange County Sheriff Departments (Kalifornien), bis ihn eine angebliche Falschaussage die Karriere kostete. Dass sein Kollege Bentley die Finger im Spiel hatte, ist eine andere Geschichte. Für seinen neuen Arbeitgeber, die „California Fire & Life“, ermittelt er in einem Versicherungsfall: Das Anwesen des Immobilienmoguls Nicky Vale ist bis auf die Grundmauern abgebrannt – mitsamt seiner jungen Frau Pamela. Auch Bentley war schon am Brandort. Er tippt auf zu viel Wodka und eine brennende Zigarette. Aber Jack Wade kennt die Sprache des Feuers. Und macht sich auf Spurensuche. Bis er herausfindet, dass Nicky Vale mitnichten der unbescholtene amerikanische Bürger ist, als der er sich ausgibt, wird die Sache so heiß, daß Jack Gefahr läuft, sich die Finger zu verbrennen. Russische Erpresser und abtrünnige KBG-Agenten, Antiquitätenhändler und Versicherungsbetrüger, vietnamesische Gangs und abgelegte Liebschaften – Jack Wade verstrickt sich in einem Dickicht aus Verschwörung, Korruption und Betrug, so sehr, dass er am Ende beschließt, Feuer mit Feuer zu bekämpfen.

        Worrier state

        Risk, anxiety and moral panic in South Africa

        by Nicky Falkof

        Risk, anxiety and moral panic are endemic to contemporary societies and media forms. How do these phenomena manifest in a place like South Africa, which features heightened insecurity, deep inequality and accelerated social change? What happens when cultures of fear intersect with pervasive systems of gender, race and class? Worrier state investigates four case studies in which fear and anxiety appear in radically different ways: the far right myth of 'white genocide'; so-called 'Satanist' murders of young women; an urban legend about township crime; and social theories about safety and goodness in the suburbs. Falkof foregrounds the significance of emotion as a socio-political force, emphasising South Africa's imbrication within globalised conditions of anxiety and thus its fundamental and often-ignored hypermodernity. The book offers a bold and creative perspective on the social roles of fear and emotion in South Africa and thus on everyday life in this complex place.

        Intimacy and injury

        In the wake of #MeToo in India and South Africa

        by Nicky Falkof, Srila Roy, Shilpa Phadke

        Both India and South Africa have shared the infamy of being labelled the world's 'rape capitals', with high levels of everyday gender-based and sexual violence. At the same time, both boast long histories of resisting such violence and its location in wider cultures of patriarchy, settler colonialism and class and caste privilege. Through the lens of the #MeToo moment, the book tracks histories of feminist organising in both countries, while also revealing how newer strategies extended or limited these struggles. Intimacy and injury is a timely mapping of a shifting political field around gender-based violence in the global south. In proposing comparative, interdisciplinary, ethnographically rich and analytically astute reflections on #MeToo, it provides new and potentially transformative directions to scholarly debates this book builds transnational feminist knowledge and solidarity in and across the global south.

        Show me the money

        The image of finance, 1700 to the present

        by Edited by Paul Crosthwaite, Peter Knight and Nicky Marsh

        What does money really stand for? How can the abstractions of high finance be made visible? Show me the money documents how the financial world has been imagined in art, illustration, photography and other visual media over the last three centuries in Britain and the United States. It tells the story of how artists have grappled with the increasingly intangible and self-referential nature of money, from the South Sea Bubble to our current crisis. Show me the money sets out the history and politics of representations of finance through five essays by academic experts and curators, and is interspersed with provocative think pieces by notable public commentators on finance and art. The book, and the exhibition on which it is based, explore a wide range of images, from satirical eighteenth-century prints by William Hogarth and James Gillray to works by celebrated contemporary artists such as Andreas Gursky and Molly Crabapple. It also charts the development of an array of financial visualisations, including stock tickers and charts, newspaper illustrations, bank adverts and electronic trading systems.
