It is where Fidel Castro raised money to overthrow Batista and where two generations of Castro's enemies have raised armies to overthrow him, so far without success. It is where the bitter opera of Cuban exile intersects with the cynicism of U.S. foreign policy.

Lautstark schwingen sich selbsternannte Tribunen des Volkes, esoterische "Querdenker" und autoritäre Demagogen zu Verteidigern der demokratischen Ordnung auf, deren Werte sie eigentlich ablehnen.

Che cosa accade quando la moda incontra il corpo? È attorno a questa domanda che si sviluppa la riflessione di Maria Luisa Frisa, tra le voci più autorevoli della cultura italiana della moda: un invito a riconoscere negli abiti non oggetti frivoli, ma dispositivi culturali capaci di generare identità, desideri e immaginari. Tra passerelle e atelier, pagine di riviste, manichini e cartamodelli, prende così forma il racconto sorprendente di una corporeità costantemente progettata e ripensata dalla moda.
