THE VISUAL ETHNOGRAPHER'S DATA OTHER: SECRETS UNVEILED FOR A SOCIOLOGICAL J. M. COETZEE

June 26, 2026

Navigating the unseen, the omitted, and the marginalized in visual research. How do the ephemeral, sensory traces of East Asian performance traditions survive their translation into digital data streams? ***THE VISUAL ETHNOGRAPHER'SDATA OTHER:*** *SECRETS UNVEILED FOR A SOCIOLOGICAL J. M. COETZEE* (Eliva Press, June 2026) **『視覚民族誌学者のデータ・アザー：社会学的J・M・クッツェーに向けて明かされる秘密』**（Eliva Press、2026年6月刊行）introduces a rigorous methodological framework for documenting the interstitial spaces where the sensing body, material textiles, and digital platforms collide. Bridging the archival system with the post-colonial narrative of J. M. Coetzee, the monograph interrogates the hidden architectures of the "Data Other"—the unquantifiable human interiority that resists digital capture. By tracking how secrets, ethical boundaries, and sensory absences manifest both in field observation and on the literary page, this work establishes a radical sociological framework for reading text as live cultural data. It is a critical read for researchers working at the intersections of sociological theory, visual cultural studies, and transnational literature.

As Paredes Eram Brancas

June 4, 2026

David é um garoto de apenas 13 anos e vive com a família em uma casa simples na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu, no Paraná. Seu pai, um alcoólatra escroto que se diverte ao espancar a esposa nas horas vagas, é assassinado de madrugada na saída de uma boate. Após algum tempo de investigação, a polícia percebe que todas as pistas convergem para uma única suspeita: o garoto teria matado o próprio pai. O problema é que a mãe de David também é assassinada pouco tempo depois, e agora, as duas mortes são atribuídas a ele. O pai não valia nada; mas por que David mataria a própria mãe? A explicação vem de um laudo médico que aponta para um garoto com sérios transtornos mentais. Então, David é trancafiado num hospital psiquiátrico. Só que é justamente lá que ele suspeita que está sendo envolvido em uma trama assustadora, algo que pode mudar toda a sua trajetória. Mas que segredo poderia estar por trás da morte dos pais do garoto? Duvidando da própria sanidade, David começa a investigar, mas todas as descobertas só levantam mais dúvidas, e o rapaz se vê diante de uma pergunta perturbadora: até que ponto ele pode acreditar na própria realidade?

Dias De Lua

November 26, 2025

"Dias de Lua" é, sobretudo, um livro sobre a natureza humana e as insatisfações geradas pela mesmice cotidiana, explorando o limite entre o ponderável e o insano na busca por uma autorealização muitas vezes utópica. A obra apresenta conflitos, tensões, dramas existenciais e angústias em um cenário emblemático e desolador. Gaspar é um homem peculiar. Por trás de seu aparente autocontrole e sua vida tranquila, há uma insatisfação doentia pelo que o cotidiano lhe proporciona. É rabugento e aponta o que ele próprio considera defeitos nas pessoas. As atitudes da esposa o incomodam, o namorado da filha o incomoda, a maneira como as pessoas encaram a vida o incomoda, e até os nomes da esposa e da filha o incomodam. No entanto, tudo piora quando Gaspar perde o emprego. Sem nenhuma explicação, é demitido da empresa à qual se dedicou por quase metade da vida. Sem emprego e com a dignidade abalada, ele conhece Damiana, uma idosa que, não fosse por sua ajuda, teria a aposentadoria roubada no famoso “golpe do bilhete premiado”. Após seu envolvimento casual com a idosa, Gaspar terá sua vida, já problemática, subvertida por uma série de eventos dramáticos: Damiana vive em um bairro pobre na companhia da neta Jéssica, uma jovem que acaba de sair da adolescência e dorme fora de casa quase todas as noites. Sem emprego e propósitos definidos, Gaspar decide “cuidar” das duas e logo se sente incomodado com a postura da moça. A partir daí sua vida trilhará um caminho obscuro e imprevisível. “Dias de Lua” é, ao mesmo tempo, um romance sobre a natureza humana e as consequências desastrosas geradas por decisões equivocadas.

Memoirs of a Watch Salesman

September 26, 2025

Memoirs of a Watch Salesman: A New York Real Estate Story is the remarkable journey of Joseph Aquino, who went from hustling housewares and watches on the streets of Brooklyn to becoming one of New York’s most respected dealmakers in luxury real estate. With candor, humor, and an insider’s eye, Aquino takes readers behind the velvet ropes of Manhattan’s most iconic properties and into the boardrooms where billion-dollar decisions are made. He recounts the relentless hustle of his early days, the lessons learned managing health clubs, and the four decades spent brokering deals for global luxury brands, financial institutions, and property owners. Along the way, he shares vivid stories of negotiating with Cartier for its Fifth Avenue mansion, shaping Times Square’s 42nd Street Development Project, and building a 26-year partnership with the legendary Faith Hope Consolo. Aquino also writes about attending Financial Times Luxury Summits around the world—London, Rome, Vienna, Marrakech, Singapore, and more—where conversations with CEOs, designers, and financiers turned into real-world transactions. At once a street-smart sales manual and a love letter to New York City, Memoirs of a Watch Salesman is a fast-paced story of resilience, relationships, and the art of closing deals.

WICKED AFFAIR

January 1, 2025

A similar story was told to me by several women who each said they had lived a version of it. It was about the effects that certain disturbing incidents in their foundational years had on their lives, and how they dealt with the fallout. These were not happy, safe, how-I-overcame-it-all tales. But some were riveting stories of kick-ass victory. I asked them their thoughts about my writing a book to address the vile abominations they were thrust into by no choice of their own. Many were firmly against the idea, out of fear of their perpetrator. Others initially raved about the idea, only to have a deep dread creep in. A few declared it an epidemic that needs to be exposed, only to later balk, unable to fully shake off their terror of the wicked character who had set the course of their lives in motion. One woman, a renowned international journalist, told me she wouldn’t read any story even remotely reminiscent of what she’d endured as a child. We engaged in lengthy discussions about self-protection and self-loathing. About misogyny and what defines true manhood. About Edmund Burke’s saying about the only way for evil to triumph. All of them said they were too afraid to tell their story publicly or felt they lacked the ability to write it in a way that would prompt meaningful action. They each warned me that if I did write a book, neither they nor their perpetrator were to be identified “in any way whatsoever.” And I agreed. Now I had a decision to make. Write a redacted reality compendium? Too clunky. Abandon their stories altogether? Too important a topic to walk away from. That left me only one path. This novel is dedicated to the “Katies” of the world. And to their children, who often get no opportunity to know and love the mother who could have been—indeed, should have been, in a better world—but for certain incidents in her life. A note to the language squeamish: Some words and scenes in this novel may seem offensive. For the sake of authenticity in portraying activities perpetrated against Katie, her expressions and descriptions of her in-the-moment rage and pain at what was being done to her during her formative years are presented as honest representations of what she thought, said and felt, during and after these incidents. This story can feel depressing. Also funny. Angry. Exciting. Sad. It roils with emotion, and so will you. So, read Wicked Affair as a caution: What you sow, the innocent may reap. - M. Rutledge McCall

Inkonfeso

January 1, 2025

INKONFESO adalah buku kumpulan cerpen bertema filosofis satiris religius-kritis humanistis. Lembaran literatur yang memadukan estetika narasi dan kritik epistemologis. Sebuah laboratorium refleksi skeptis yang mengubur keengganan dan ketakutan untuk bertanya: Apakah iman hanya konstruksi sosial? Apakah moralitas meniscayakan doktrin? Bagaimana menjadi manusia merdeka dalam lanskap keyakinan yang hegemonik? INKONFESO menghimpun narasi eksistensial yang menelanjangi dogma, menggugat pretensi kebenaran mutlak, dan merayakan keberanian berpikir otonom. Melalui cerita pendek bernapas prosa kontemplatif, buku ini menghadirkan potret manusia yang bergulat dengan trauma spiritual, krisis identitas, dan paradoks kasih tanpa syarat. Rayakan keraguan Anda. Biarkan ia tumbuh subur menjadi kebijaksanaan. Manusia, sejak awal keberadaannya, telah memikul beban pertanyaan besar tentang asal-usul, makna, dan tujuan hidup. Dalam pencarian itu, lahirlah berbagai sistem kepercayaan, filsafat, dan nilai-nilai yang membentuk peradaban. Namun, di tengah keragaman pandangan tersebut, ada satu benang merah yang menyatukan kita: kemanusiaan itu sendiri. Buku kumpulan cerpen ini hadir sebagai upaya sastra untuk menelusuri denyut nalar yang tak henti bertanya, merenung, dan menggugat. Cerita-cerita dalam buku ini tidak sekadar menyajikan konflik batin atau pergulatan identitas, melainkan menggali lebih dalam ke dalam wilayah yang kerap dihindari: pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang Tuhan, makna iman, dan tempat manusia dalam semesta yang luas ini. Melalui perspektif humanisme, setiap cerpen menjadi ruang kontemplatif, tempat di mana tokoh-tokohnya berani melangkah keluar dari dogma demi menemukan kebenaran yang berakar pada akal sehat, empati, dan tanggung jawab moral. Buku ini bukan ajakan untuk meninggalkan keyakinan, melainkan undangan untuk berpikir. Ia tidak menggurui, tetapi menawarkan jendela pandang alternatif terhadap realitas, spiritualitas, dan eksistensi. Di dalamnya, pembaca diajak menyusuri jejak-jejak pikiran yang penuh gejolak, namun jujur. Sebab, dalam dunia yang kian bising oleh klaim kebenaran mutlak, suara nurani yang bersandar pada nalar dan cinta kasih menjadi lebih relevan dari sebelumnya. Semoga kumpulan cerpen ini dapat menjadi teman berpikir yang menyenangkan sekaligus menantang, serta memperluas cakrawala kita dalam memahami hakikat menjadi manusia, bukan dari apa yang kita anut, tetapi dari bagaimana kita memperlakukan sesama dengan keadilan, kebebasan, dan welas asih.

Comportant de magnifiques illustrations et un index très détaillé, cet ouvrage est devenu depuis sa première parution un best-seller mondial et une référence en mythologie.

Motives in Ministry

July 13, 2023

What is motive? How do we define motivation? Motive/motivation is defined as something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act. So then, what causes us to do what we do in the Kingdom? What are the forces driving you to want to minister? Why do you want God to use you? Why do you allow God to use you? Self-inventory has to be taken on a regular basis. It is only through self-examination that our motives in ministry and service remain pure. As leaders and servants in the Church and kingdom of God, we can lose focus on God's plan and purpose for ministry. In this brief study, we will examine the proper motives for ministry and those to avoid.

The Psychology of Money

September 8, 2020

"Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money--investing, personal finance, and business decisions--is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics"--Publisher's description

IT

July 1, 2017

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw – and felt – what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one’s deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . . The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality. Frightening, epic, and brilliant, Stephen King's IT is one of the greatest works of a true storytelling master. --front flap

The Art of War: A New Translation by Michael Nylan

January 7, 2020

"For the first time in any modern language, a female scholar and translator reimagines The Art of War. Sun Tzu's ancient book of strategy and psychology has as much to tell us today as when it was first written 2,500 years ago. In a world forever at odds, his rules for anticipating the motivations and strategies of our competitors never cease to inspire leaders of all kinds. Michael Nylan, in her provocative introduction, sees new and unexpected lessons to be learned from The Art of War- in business ventures, relationships, games of skill, academic careers, and medical practices. Strategy, like conflict, is woven into society's very roots. Nylan's crisp translation "offers a masterly new evaluation of this classic work, which balances the overtly military content with a profound and thought- provoking analysis" (Oliva Milburn). Readers newly engaging with ancient Chinese culture will be inspired by Nylan's authoritative voice. She proves that Sun Tzu is more relevant than ever, helping us navigate the conflicts we know and those we have yet to endure"--

Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts . . . he's at Hogwarts."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

November 1, 2016

"There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger." The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition. Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

January 1, 2018

There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror? It's not just the upcoming O.W.L. exams; a new teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a venomous, disgruntled house–elf; or even the growing threat of He–Who–Must–Not–Be–Named. Now Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew; boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice. --back cover

Dune

July 15, 2020

En el desértico planeta Arrakis, el agua es el bien más preciado y llorar a los muertos, el símbolo de máxima prodigalidad. Pero algo hace de Arrakis una pieza estratégica para los intereses del Emperador, las Grandes Casas y la Cofradía, los tres grandes poderes de la galaxia. Arrakis es el único origen conocido de la melange, preciosa especia y uno de los bienes más codiciados del universo. Al duque Leto Atreides se le asigna el gobierno de este mundo inhóspito, habitado por los indómitos Fremen y monstruosos gusanos de arena de centenares de metros de longitud. Sin embargo, cuando la familia es traicionada, su hijo y heredero, Paul, emprenderá un viaje hacia un destino más grande del que jamás hubiese podido soñar. Mezcla fascinante de aventura, misticismo, intrigas políticas y ecologismo, Dune se convirtió, desde el momento de su publicación, en un fenómeno de culto y en la mayor epopeya de ciencia-ficción de todos los tiempos.

A Gentle Reminder

January 1, 2020

A gentle reminder, for the days you feel light in this world, and for the days in which the sun rises a little slower. A gentle reminder for when your heart is full of hope, and for when you are learning how to heal it. A gentle reminder for when you finally begin to trust in the goodness, and for when you need the kind of words that hug your broken pieces back together. A gentle reminder for when growth hangs heavy in the air, for when you need to tuck your strength into your bones just to make it to tomorrow. A gentle reminder for when you are balancing the messiness, and the beauty, of what it means to be human, when you are teaching yourself that it is okay to be both happy and sad, that you are real, not perfect. A gentle reminder for when you seek the words you needed when you were younger. A gentle reminder for when you need to hear that you deserve to be loved the way you love others. A gentle reminder for when you need to recognize that you are not your past, that you are not your faults. A gentle reminder for when you need to believe in staying soft, in continuing to be the kind of person who cares. A gentle reminder for when you need to believe in loving deeply in a world that sometimes fails to do so. A gentle reminder to keep going. A gentle reminder to hope--
