Today, 16–18 Beak Street is a burger bar, but don’t let the muddy grey of the whitewashed oak walls deceive you. This building was once filled with dancing showgirls in glitzy costumes, performing to over 100 people a night. For this corner of Soho once housed Murray’s Cabaret Club; night after night it forged fantasies for deadened aristocrats, served dishes of dreams to Arab businessmen, and provided refuge for hounded celebrities. Founder Percival ‘Pops’ Murray introduced London to the ‘Cabaret Floorshow’, hiring an army of dancers, musicians and seamstresses to make sure that everything was perfect – from the dancers’ painted nails and intricate costumes, to the polished wood walls and the gleaming glass stage. However, the spell was broken in 1963 when the Profumo Scandal erupted – a love triangle between a Murray’s showgirl, Britain’s Minister of War, and a Soviet spy, all at the height of the Cold War. Here, Benjamin Levy tells the story of Murray’s founding and the tales of the dancers both before and after their time at the club, the work that went into the shows and - in dazzling photographs and designs – reveals the recently discovered costumes that were worn in London’s most glamorous floorshow.

An arresting survey of photographic practice, drawn from the Eskenazi Museum of Art's extraordinary collection.Spanning from 1856 to 2017, this beautifully illustrated book includes iconic photographs by pioneers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, alongside contemporary innovators like Edward Burtynsky and Vik Muniz. Structured around five thematic chapters—ranging from motion and time to war, the body, industry, and nature—the book offers an expansive and enticing narrative of photography’s evolution in both form and function. Drawn from the well-known and prestigious collection of Lee Marks and John C. DePrez Jr. recently donated to the Eskenazi Museum of Art, the book is designed for a broad audience, with more than 100 beautifully reproduced plates, insightful essays, and a candid interview with the collectors that reflects on how photography has changed, both as a medium and a market.

Este libro analiza la relación entre el paramilitarismo y diferentes formas de conflictividad agraria en Colombia. A partir de diferentes casos de estudio de la Costa Caribe, los autores retoman debates cruciales sobre el papel de las élites agrarias y su compleja relación con los procesos de privatización de la violencia. ¿Por qué las élites ganaderas se articularon de una forma tan orgánica a la experiencia paramilitar? ¿Todas las élites agrarias hicieron lo mismo? ¿Cómo influyó la aparición de economías ilegales en el mundo rural? También se analizan el despojo de tierras paramilitar y sus diversas interacciones con las dinámicas de violencia, ilegalidad y concentración de la tierra. ¿Fue el despojo una contrarreforma agraria? ¿Qué quiere decir esto? ¿Qué papel jugó el Estado? Con estos interrogantes, esta obra impulsa la agenda de investigación trazada, diez años atrás, por el Observatorio de Tierras sobre la relación entre tierra, guerra y Estado. La mayor parte de los capítulos son resultados del programa de investigación "Conflictos agrarios, conflicto armado e instituciones: Relaciones, interacciones y causalidades", financiado por Minciencias.
