Sinossi

Easter Island Statues explores the compelling history of the moai, the iconic stone statues of Rapa Nui. It delves into how this isolated Polynesian culture managed to carve, transport, and erect these monumental structures, some weighing over 80 tons, without modern technology. 

 
The book examines the quarrying process at Rano Raraku, the transportation methods across the island's varied terrain, and the techniques used to raise the moai onto their ahu. The approach emphasizes that the creation of the moai was deeply intertwined with Rapa Nui's social organization and belief systems.

 
It challenges older theories focusing on resource depletion by presenting sustainable and collaborative practices employed by the islanders. The book progresses from introducing the moai and their construction to exploring transportation theories and the eventual decline of statue construction, reassessing Rapa Nui history through archaeological evidence and historical accounts.

    Refusing the digital world of late capitalism 
     
     
     
    In this uncompromising essay, Jonathan Crary presents the obvious but unsayable reality: our "digital age" is synonymous with the disastrous terminal stage of global capitalism and its financialization of social existence, mass impoverishment, ecocide, and military terror. Scorched Earth surveys the wrecking of a living world by the internet complex and its devastation of communities and their capacities for mutual support. 
     
     
     
    This polemic by the author of 24/7 dismantles the presumption that social media could be an instrument of radical change and contends that the networks and platforms of transnational corporations are intrinsically incompatible with a habitable earth or with the human interdependence needed to build egalitarian post-capitalist forms of life.

    Looking across time and the globe, a critical history of sexual violence—what causes it and how we overcome it. 
     
     
      
    Disgrace is the first truly global history of sexual violence. The book explores how sexual violence varies widely across time and place, from nineteenth-century peasant women in Ireland who were abducted as a way of forcing marriage, to date-raped high-school students in twentieth-century America, and from girls and women violated by Russian soldiers in 1945 to Dalit women raped by men of higher castes today. It delves into the factors that facilitate violence—including institutions, ideologies, and practices—but also gives voice to survivors and activists, drawing inspiration from their struggles. Ultimately, Joanna Bourke intends to forge a transnational feminism that will promote a more harmonious, equal, and rape—and violence-free world.

    Multiple crises have shaken the foundations of the global economy, and the resulting instability has yet to recover. Instead, it has led to increasing fragmentation along political and ideological lines. The current geoeconomic order is increasingly defined by the use of advanced trade defense and economic security tools, such as tariffs, trade barriers, sanctions, and export restrictions, which have become more sophisticated. Major economies are adapting to this new reality by shaping their own definitions of economic security, particularly to safeguard critical and high-tech sectors. The EU, the US, and China are each calibrating their economic security strategies, seeking a balance between openness and protection that maximizes their respective advantages. However, in this shifting international landscape, new actors are emerging with the potential to influence the global balance of power.
    What type of "new globalization" is emerging? Could economic security tools become the new normal in the global economy? What are the key economic security strategies adopted by the world's leading economies?
