Dear All,
Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the publication of a
Spanish translation of Timothy Morton's Realist Magic (an apposite topic
perhaps for these difficult times). Like all our books, it is available
on an open access basis. This publication is part of our continuing
efforts to branch out beyond English-language texts.
The English-language version is also still available, of course. Please
see blurbs for both versions below.
Best,
Gary, Sigi and David

Timothy Morton: Magia realista
Traducción de Román Suárez, Laureano Ralón
http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/magia-realista/
La ontología-orientada a objetos (OOO) nos ofrece una forma novedosa y
sorprendente de pensar la causalidad que toma en consideración los
desarrollos de la física que se inician a principios del siglo XX. Para
la OOO, la causalidad es estética. En este libro, Timothy Morton explora
lo que significa afirmar que algo advenga a la existencia, que persista,
y que deje de existir. Tomando ejemplos de la física, la biología, la
ecología, el arte, la literatura y la música, Morton pone en evidencia
el poder explicativo elegante, aunque contrario a la intuición, de la
OOO para explicar cómo opera la causalidad. Traducción a cargo de
Laureano Ralón y Román Suárez.

Timothy Morton: Realist Magic
Object-oriented ontology offers a startlingly fresh way to think about
causality that takes into account developments in physics since 1900.
Causality, argues, Object Oriented Ontology (OOO), is aesthetic. In this
book, Timothy Morton explores what it means to say that a thing has come
into being, that it is persisting, and that it has ended. Drawing from
examples in physics, biology, ecology, art, literature and music, Morton
demonstrates the counterintuitive yet elegant explanatory power of OOO
for thinking causality.
