  The COVID-19 pandemic has reorganized existing methods of exchange, turning comparatively marginal technologies into the new normal. Multipoint videoconferencing in particular has become a favored means for web-based forms of remote communication and collaboration without physical copresence. Taking the recent mainstreaming of videoconferencing as its point of departure, this anthology examines the complex mediality of this new form of social interaction. Connecting theoretical reflection with material case studies, the contributors question practices, politics and aesthetics of videoconferencing and the specific meanings it acquires in different historical, cultural and social contexts.

  A New History of Slavery

  Slavery in Europe and the Americas was not abolished by the enlightened popular movements. It was destroyed by the resistance and countless rebellions by the enslaved people. A New History of Slavery traces the institution of human bondage from antiquity to the present day, revealing how profoundly it has shaped global history and, above all, setting the record straight on how the horror of Atlantic slave trade was eliminated. 
  The story of slavery’s end has too often been told as a triumph of Christian morality or industrial progress. The factor that has often been almost completely erased from histories, is the role of the enslaved themselves. A New History of Slavery restores their agency. Through rebellion, sabotage, escape, and everyday acts of defiance, enslaved people relentlessly resisted their oppression. Across North America alone, more than 300 slave uprisings erupted, with many more in the Caribbean and roughly one in every tenth ship that sailed from Africa towards the America with a cargo of slaves. Every one of these thousands of rebellions was a declaration of humanity in the face of dehumanization. 
  A New History of Slavery forces everybody to ask, whether the 1801 and 1805 constitutions of St Domingue/Haiti were only footnotes of history, or whether they should be considered equal or even more important universal steps in humanity’s progress as the US constitution in 1776 and the French revolution in 1789. 
  Slavery is not a closed chapter of history. It is a deep, brutal wound whose scars still shape the world we live in. The issue has suddenly become more current and acute because even open and legalized slavery might make a comeback into the world via fundamentalist movements like Taliban and Boko Haram.

  Resilient Americans - We May Not...

  Anything that alienates and divides us leaves us weak and exposed to disaster. If we know nothing else about a disaster event, we should know this: experiencing a disaster will almost certainly mean taking care of ourselves, our family and our neighbors, and relying on them to do the same for us. Our communal goodwill is our best plan for coming through. Simple human compassion is more essential to our national resilience and strength than most of us recognize.  
  With anecdotes and unexpected stories about growing up during the 60s and 70s in the diversity of Los Angeles and from her work in disaster recovery, Diane Burden Cox illustrates the importance of our relationships. If we want a resilient future, we need to recognize it rests on the strength of our interactions with one another. Resilience isn’t just one more thing to put on our national to-do list, it’s something we can actually enjoy and have fun cultivating together.
