On Comics and Legal Aesthetics: Multimodality and the Haunted Mask of Knowing
by Thomas GiddensWhat are the implications of comics for law? Tackling this question, On Comics and Legal Aesthetics explores the epistemological dimensions of comics and the way this once-maligned medium can help think about – and reshape – the form of law. Traversing comics, critical, and cultural legal studies, it seeks to enrich the theorisation of comics with a critical aesthetics that expands its value and significance for law, as well as knowledge more generally. It argues that comics’ multimodality – its hybrid structure, which represents a meeting point of text, image, reason, and aesthetics – opens understanding of the limits of law’s rational texts by shifting between multiple frames and modes of presentation. Comics thereby exposes the way all forms of knowledge are shaped out of an unstructured universe, becoming a mask over this chaotic ‘beyond’. This mask of knowing remains haunted – by that which it can never fully capture or represent. Comics thus models knowledge as an infinity of nested frames haunted by the chaos without structure. In such a model, the multiple aspects of law become one region of a vast and bottomless cascade of perspectives – an infinite multiframe that extends far beyond the traditional confines of the comics page, rendering law boundless.

On Destiny (Aunare Chronicles #5)
by Aileen ErinThe moment I realized I had to go back to Earth, I panicked. It wasn’t a little bit of panic. It was the kind that sucked the air and light from the room and made my body go cold with sweat and fear.

Everyone on Earth knows my face. The vids of what happened on Abaddon and Sel’Ani have played throughout the known universe for months. But seeing those vids opened the Earthers’ eyes. They realized that I’d been fighting for them for years before I left. I’d taught martial arts, patrolled the streets, and helped save as many of them as I could. And now, somehow, my story has inspired Eathers to speak up and act out. My name has become the rallying cry of the revolution.Returning to Earth is risky, but nothing in life is without risk. I’m not afraid anymore. All I feel is determination to win. I won’t stop until SpaceTech has been destroyed. >From Aileen Erin, the USA Today Bestselling Author of the Alpha Girl series, comes an epic adventure in space: The Aunare Chronicles!Book1: Off PlanetBook 2: Off BalanceBook 3: In Command (an eBook Novella)Book 4: On MissionBook 5: On Destiny"Counting the days until the next installment." - Nicole B, Goodreads"If you’re looking for a well written, engrossing sci-fi read filled with romance, action and intrigue you will love this series." - Sharon, Obsession with Books "Suspenseful sci-fi with complex world-building and a tough-as-nails heroine you’ll want to root for!"— Elizabeth Briggs, NYT Bestselling Author of Future Shock"Action adventure, space drama, political schemes, and just the right hit of romance has this series turning into an absolute must-read.
