Karpa Talesman is unique - an adult crossworlds fantasy, brilliantly combining elements of dystopian, quest and high fantasy to tell a story about our dying Earth and a brave man dream-traveling other worlds, risking grave danger to discover the key to our rescue. The story: Planet Earth is running out of time, and scientist Sheena Drey's husband, Copper, is missing. Without her knowledge, he has volunteered with The Dream Project scientists who are convinced that the multiverse contains many worlds similar to Earth. The project uses powerful drugs to send Copper, a gifted "dreamer," to find a possible answer to our planet's plight.Copper wakes to find himself an abandoned child on Urth, a world that resembles a primitive version of Earth. Forced to flee the fate of human sacrifice, he survives as a thief, a soldier, and a storyteller, while growing more certain that his 'outsider' status on Urth conceals his true existence in a different world.Left to her fate on a disappearing Earth, Sheena struggles to protect her daughter and to pry an explanation for her husband's disappearance from Dream Project scientists. Finally receiving word that her husband has struggled back to waking consciousness, Sheena learns that Copper has managed to mutter a single word. Scientists suspect the word may be a code. But it is Sheena who realizes that word is an anagram that, when decoded, might lead to Earth's salvation.

In recent years, growing attention has been paid to the relationship between international law and aesthetics. This collection situates this relationship within its wider political context, demonstrating that the question of aesthetics in not neutral but rather connected to the social, economic, and political relationships in which international justice is deeply embedded. The first part of the collection is an invitation to reflect on what we see and register in international justice, in particular in representations of those who suffer violence, including the violence of law. The second part of the collection uses different forms to reflect on how aesthetics can be turned against the dominant aesthetics and politics of international law, in the form of 'counter-aesthetics' through cartoons, interviews, parables, and a screenplay. This collection is the first of its kind to make visible the dominant and normalized aesthetics of violence and justice through a political economy lens; and to take seriously the limitations of the aesthetic forms that give violence and justice their expression.
