Di Gabriele Micalizzi
Thousands of protesters didn't leave the commercial heart of Bangkok that had occupied after the bloody anti-government demonstration for Saturday, April 10, 2010, during which 21 people were killed and soldiers killed 16 demonstrators of "redshirts" asking to the Thai parliament to be dissolved and go to the polls. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has appealed to national TV so they returned to the area where the protesters had camped in the weeks preceding the event, declaring that the government and dissidents were about to reach a compromise. But in place of the camp, protesters tore posters of the police and showed no signs of want to go.

WOODWARD SILENCE
Di Arianna Arcara
Detroit has always been the symbol of the American crisis, the defeat of capitalism. The city is still all that. But not only. The people and stories that swarm into this silence can offer unforgettable impressions. Seventy years ago the middle class whites, while African-American exodus began, they abandoned the city center, leaving the black community in a state of poverty. Over the past 50 years "desolation" was the word that best described Detroit. There is a perpetual game between the peaks and gaps, the colors and gray reflecting the experience of a company formed by so many different cultures and beliefs. Now the city of Detroit is experiencing an economic crisis and industrial leave town populated by families abandoned and uninhabited buildings.

GAZA
Di Gabriele Stabile
I arrived in Israel in late March, with the intention of going immediately to Gaza, to continue a project that I had left open exactly a year before, in the aftermath of the "Lead Time".
On my arrival in Jerusalem, the Arab suburbs east of the city 'was on fire.
Hundreds of young Palestinians, following the invitation of Hamas to lead a real Dies Irae, have flocked to the streets, engaging in acts of urban guerrilla warfare against the Israeli army, so violent as to cause concern the beginning of a third Intifada.
My journey has 'done more' tortuous, and eventually arrive in Gaza and photograph this big open prison and that 'the strip, and' was like going back in time to confront their own ideas, or return on the scene to hear the echoes of battles near and far.

SOUTH AFRICA
Di Alessandro Sala
The city of gold. In Johannesburg in 1886 started the gold rush, which is considered the beginning of the end of the largest metropolis in Africa. Millions of new African whites have invaded the city center in search of a better life, forcing black to move native peoples in the peripheral, and giving away those bloody racial issues with which this land has had to face up to 1994.What remains today is a city in search of stability, but still with many internal conflicts that seem insurmountable in spite of Johannesburg has been appointed as the city symbol of World Cup 2010.

SADO
Di Luca Santese
seek freedom and be enslaved by your desires, seek discipline and find freedom. This is the essence of sadomasochism. BDSM is research. Those undergoing sadomasochistic sessions during each session is a patchwork of acknowledgments and responses to questions of identity that burst from the depths. What can my body? What are its limits? In that report I am with my body? I am another of my body? È That's why you can not reduce a BDSM session to the mere satisfaction of a desire for pleasure, that the terrible common sense summarily defines as "weird" or worse "abnormal." Nor is a vague and arrogant claim of "diversity" means the SM is a reaction to the thirst for knowledge.

INGUSHETIA
