It was billed as the ultimate luxury music festival on a private Bahamian island, promoted by the worlds biggest supermodels with a cryptic, viral orange square on Instagram. Thousands of millennials wired massive sums of money for the promise of private jets, gourmet food, and exclusive beachside villas. What they arrived to was a flooded gravel pit, inadequate disaster relief tents, and a sad cheese sandwich in a foam box.The Fyre Festival was not just a logistical failure; it was a masterful exploitation of the modern "experience economy." The organizers understood that in the age of social media, the digital illusion of a luxury event was far more persuasive than the actual physical infrastructure. By leveraging the unquestioned authority of top-tier influencers, they bypassed traditional marketing scrutiny and collected millions for an event that structurally did not exist.This book deconstructs the psychology of influencer fraud and event mismanagement. You will examine the reckless wire transfers, the total absence of sanitation logistics, and the devastating fallout for the local Bahamian workers who were never paid.Look behind the glamorous Instagram filters. Learn how the desperate pursuit of digital status fueled the most spectacular and humiliating marketing scam of the decade.

This book reflects my experience as a translation scholar, and a translation teacher, and a translator from Russian. The knowledge of the Russian language allowed me to read (and translate into Italian) crucial authors like Popovi?, Lyudskanov, Torop, Revzin and Rozentsveyg. Since not many Western translation scholars know them, we get as a consequence a translation theory which is split between West and East according to a sort of cultural Berlin wall.In this book I tried to synthesize both Western and Eastern point of views about the translation process.The terms that are used belong to both worlds.For an explanation of a more professional character, you can use my other book, "Handbook of Translation Studies", available both in paper and in ebook form.I have been teaching translation at the Civica Scuola Interpreti e Traduttori Altiero Spinelli in Milan, Italy, for 30 years, and translation theory for 20 years. My students made an important contribution to this book, through their feedback during lectures and exams. Year after year I had the opportunity to edit my text accordingly.For an explanation of the terms used in this book, I refer students to my Dictionary of Translation Studies.Bruno OsimoMilano, 7 July 2019
