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.

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.

Powerless

November 7, 2023

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished in order to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity. Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be overly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can in order to stay alive and out of trouble. Easier said than done. When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilyas princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites’ powers—the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is—completely Ordinary.

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.

MORALITY An Individual Dilemma

January 1, 2023

The problem is not only with what’s right and wrong but the problem is with who decides about what’s right and wrong. The question is not only about; what actions are good and what is regarded as good. Rather the question is; what is the basis for good and from where it comes and is being good, right or not? These questions are not only necessary for thinking about morality, rather it’s also led toward questioning the good of everything here. As the questions are already been asked, so the question is; can the question itself be protected or not? And for us the question itself belongs with our own individuality and provides reasons to questions and understanding, that’s why protecting it becomes necessary.

Strait of Gibraltar

January 1, 2023

Strait of Gibraltar: Non Plus Ultra is a geographical investigation of the great waterway that links the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea and forms the inter-continental divide between Europe and Africa across the legendary Pillars of Hercules. In this post Cold War era, the Strait is often referred to as a ‘strategic asset’ for its shipping lanes: between the Atlantic via the Bosporus to the Black Sea; and via the transformative Suez Canal to the Red Sea and the Gulf, and beyond. The Strait has been a strategic asset since the days of those early seafarers, the Phoenicians, who defied (or encouraged) the myth that any vessel passing through the waterway would fall off the End of the World, and into the unknown void. In this same way, the great human adventure is formed and inevitably eclipsed by the geographical dimension: the prehistoric trans-migrations out of Africa, the outstanding achievements and titanic clashes of classical antiquity, the sea battles and world conflicts over the centuries since, and the geopolitical intrigues of the present post-Cold War era. The epic story of the strait opens with its formation over five million years ago. The timeline established with the End of the World, the author undertakes a geographical investigation with the focus on: Ancient Geographers and the Mapping of the Strait, the Pillars of Hercules, and A World Waterway. Strait of Gibraltar aims to locate the position and identity of the waterway in its greater or global perspective in this early twenty first century.

Altre Russie

November 4, 2022

Victoria Lomasko ha viaggiato in lungo e in largo per il paese, dai sobborghi di Mosca fino agli angoli più remoti: ha visitato le scuole di piccoli villaggi, intervistato le prostitute delle grandi città industriali, insegnato disegno ai bambini e alle bambine nelle prigioni minorili. Il risultato è un'indagine profonda, che a partire dai cittadini e dalle cittadine che non hanno voce mette a nudo le disuguaglianze e le ingiustizie della società russa contemporanea. Uno straordinario affresco di una Russia altra, mai raccontata prima, determinata più che mai a lottare per i propri diritti. Prefazione di Elettra Stamboulis.

Beyond State, Power, and Violence

September 20, 2022

After the dissolution of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) in 2002, internal discussions ran high, and fear and uncertainty about the future of the Kurdish freedom movement threatened to unravel the gains of decades of organizing and armed struggle. From his prison cell, Abdullah Öcalan intervened by penning his most influential work to date: Beyond State, Power, and Violence. With a stunning vision of a freedom movement centered on women’s liberation, democracy, and ecology, Öcalan helped reinvigorate the Kurdish freedom movement by providing a revolutionary path forward with what is undoubtedly the furthest-reaching definition of democracy the world has ever seen. Here, for the first time, is the highly anticipated English translation of this monumental work. Beyond State, Power, and Violence is a breathtaking reconnaissance into life without the state, an essential portrait of the PKK and the Kurdish freedom movement, and an open blueprint for leftist organizing in the twenty-first century, written by one of the most vitally important political luminaries of today. By carefully analyzing the past and present of the Middle East, Öcalan evaluates concrete prospects for the Kurdish people and arrives with his central proposal: recreate the Kurdish freedom movement along the lines of a new paradigm based on the principles of democratic confederalism and democratic autonomy. In the vast scope of this book, Öcalan examines the emergence of hierarchies and eventually classes in human societies and sketches his alternative, the democratic-ecological society. This vision, with a theoretical foundation of a nonviolent means of taking power, has ushered in a new era for the Kurdish freedom movement while also offering a fresh and indispensible perspective on the global debate about a new socialism. Öcalan’s calls for nonhierarchical forms of democratic social organization deserve the careful attention of anyone interested in constructive social thought or rebuilding society along feminist and ecological lines.

Cost of Living

February 8, 2022

"What does it cost to live? When we fall ill, our lives are itemized on a spreadsheet. A thousand dollars for a broken leg, a few hundred for a nasty cut while cooking dinner. Then there are the greater costs for even greater misfortunes. The car accidents, breast cancers, blood diseases, and dark depressions. When Emily Maloney was nineteen she tried to kill herself. An act that would not only cost a great deal personally, but also financially, sending her down a dark spiral of misdiagnoses, years spent in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices, and tens of thousands owed in medical debt. To work to pay off this crippling burden, Emily becomes an emergency room technician. Doing the grunt work in a hospital, and taking care of patients at their most vulnerable moments, chronicling these interactions in searingly beautiful, surprising ways. Shocking and often slyly humorous, Cost of Living is a brilliant examination of just what exactly our troubled healthcare system asks us to pay, as well as a look at what goes on behind the scenes at our hospitals and in the minds of caregivers"--

Небеса в смятении

January 1, 2022

По мере того как мир выходит (хотя, возможно, только временно) из пандемии, в центре внимания оказываются другие кризисы: вопиющее неравенство, климатическая катастрофа, отчаявшиеся беженцы и нарастание напряженности в результате новой холодной войны. Неизменный мотив нашего времени – безжалостный хаос. На пепелище неудач нового века Жижек заявляет о необходимости международной солидарности, экономических преобразований и прежде всего безотлагательного коммунизма. В центре внимания новой книги Славоя Жижека, традиционно парадоксальной и философски-остросюжетной, – Трамп и Rammstein, Amazon и ковид, Афганистан и Христос, Джордж Оруэлл и интернет-тролли, Ленин и литий, Байден и Европа, а также десятки других значимых феноменов, которых Жижек привлекает для радикального анализа современности.

EVIDENCE To Know and Have It All?

January 1, 2022

The reality is; there is something which exist but what that something is; remains a question. Either because we are not capable to reveal it yet or because with time and movement it changes itself and has no truth in it. But what’s the reason for its existence without having or revealing any truth, that’s the evidence we need to find. As with existence we desire to know how it begin and what was beyond it and how and why it all happens. And if we can’t know it without believing or assuming or if there is no final answer to these questions then one assumption is; everything happens accidentally and have no purpose behind it. And we could have any meaning based upon our individual senses or reasons and live very well with it. But if there is no one end purpose for everything then no matter how we choose to live, the whole process of existence becomes tragic. Each one could hate any limitation in freedom, in having, and in the knowledge that’s why nothing is good enough; we must know and have it all. And if there is no evidence, then without assumptions we must find it. As to know and have it all is about individuality because each one has the right not to live under the mercy of anyone with more power. So, for freedom and protection, one desires to know and have it all, but the questions remain.

November 16, 2021

When everything goes wrong on a trip to the local market, AO, a woman with a ton of major and necessary body augmentations, must race against time across the deserts of Northern Nigeria with a Fulani herdsman named DNA in a world where everything is streamed. Anwuli Okwudili prefers to be called AO. To her, these initials have always stood for Artificial Organism. AO has never really felt...natural, and that's putting it lightly. Her parents spent most of the days before she was born praying for her peaceful passing because even in-utero she was "wrong." But she lived. Then came the car accident years later that disabled her even further. Yet instead of viewing her strange body the way the world views it, as freakish, unnatural, even the work of the devil, AO embraces all that she is: a woman with a ton of major and necessary body augmentations. And then one day she goes to her local market and everything goes wrong. Once on the run, she meets a Fulani herdsman named DNA and the race against time across the deserts of Northern Nigeria begins. In a world where all things are streamed, everyone is watching the "reckoning of the murderess and the terrorist" and the "saga of the wicked woman and mad man" unfold. This fast-paced, relentless journey of tribe, destiny, body, and the wonderland of technology revels in the fact that the future sometimes isn't so predictable. Expect the unaccepted.
