An introverted English professor's quiet life gets turned upside down when he falls for a dangerous, enigmatic sophomore. Mark Lausson has everything he thought he wanted: a coveted job at elite Sawyer College in Ohio. But at the start of his second year, stuck in a small town with deadlines piling up and paychecks falling short, Mark can already feel the fantasy crumbling. And then, a few weeks in, sophomore Tyler Cunningham shows up in class. In Tyler--confident, mysterious, and popular--Mark glimpses another way of being in the world. He finds Tyler's self-possession both compelling and unsettling. Caught in the rush of sex and secrets, Mark ignores the increasing evidence that Tyler can't be trusted. But by the time Mark comes to his senses, the irreparable damage is done. Complicating easy ideas of innocence, Providence explores the ways loneliness and desire distort our senses of self and other, right and wrong. Intense, propulsive, and impossible to put down, Providence is perfect for readers of P. J. Vernon's Bath Haus and Donna Tartt's The Secret History, as well as Patricia Highsmith's Talented Mr. Ripley and Garth Greenwell's What Belongs to You.

While what feels like the entirety of the gay and lesbian movement is marching in unison towards some vague notion of equality, the Against Equality collective has been quietly assembling a digital archive to document the critical resistance to the politics of inclusion. This pocket-sized book of archival texts lays out some of the historical foundations of queer resistance to the gay marriage mainstream alongside more contemporary inter-subjective critiques that deal directly with issues of race, class, gender, citizenship, age, ability, and more. In portable book form, the critical conversations that are happening so readily on the internet will no longer be withheld from those with little to no online access like queer and trans prisoners, people of low income, rural folks and the technologically challenged.

Under the auspices of neoliberalism, technical systems of compliance and efficiency have come to underwrite the relations among the state, the economy, and a biopolitics of war, terror, and surveillance. In Beyond Biopolitics, prominent theorists seek to account for and critically engage the tendencies that have informed neoliberal governance in the past and are expressed in its reformulation today. As studies of military occupation, the policing of migration, blood trades, financial markets, the war on terror, media ecologies, and consumer branding, the essays explore the governance of life and death in a near-future, a present emptied of future potentialities. The contributors delve into political and theoretical matters central to projects of neoliberal governance, including states of exception that are not exceptional but foundational; risk analysis applied to the adjudication of “ethical” forms of war, terror, and occupation; racism and the management of the life capacities of populations; the production and circulation of death as political and economic currency; and the potential for critical and aesthetic response. Together, the essays offer ways to conceptualize biopolitics as the ground for today’s reformulation of governance. Contributors.

¿Cuáles son las vinculaciones entre los feminismos y el derecho? ¿Qué entendemos por “feminismos jurídicos”? ¿Cuáles son las implicancias de pensar y hacer derecho desde este anclaje político? ¿Qué supone una lectura feminista jurídica situada? ¿Cómo se articulan las vías de recepción e inventiva feminista entre textos y problemas del Norte y Sur globales? Estas cuestiones, entre tantas otras, sustentan la arquitectura del libro. La traducción al castellano de cuatro artículos centrales del feminismo jurídico estadounidense, en las plumas de Kimberlé Crenshaw, Mary Joe Frug, Katherine Franke, Dean Spade y Craig Willse, revelan una apuesta por expandir los canales de circulación de discusiones labradas por los Feminist Legal Studies. Los comentarios que prosiguen a esas traducciones resguardan que esa expansión se dirija hacia recepciones posibles y a nuevas escrituras en estudios feministas del derecho en América Latina. Cada uno de los textos, las traducciones y sus comentarios delimita y propone asuntos dilemáticos que nos interpelan y nos mueven a pensar en las continuidades y disrupciones de los feminismos jurídicos según las latitudes, los momentos, los escenarios jurídico-políticos y los encuadres de la academia legal. Cada conjunto de problemas señala diversos recorridos de la producción jurídica feminista y marca una serie de contenidos y preguntas vigentes que ayudan a delinear la práctica docente, la praxis activista, la escritura y los debates iusfeministas.
