OPEN HUMANITIES PRESS <http://openhumanitiespress.org/> is delighted to
announce the publication of two new open access books in its Critical
Climate Change series:
TELEMORPHOSIS: THEORY IN THE ERA OF CLIMATE CHANGE, vol. 1
edited by Tom Cohen (University at Albany)
Freely available at:
http://openhumanitiespress.org/telemorphosis.html
The writers in the volume explore how the 21st century horizons that
exceed any political, economic, or conceptual models alter or redefine a
series of key topoi. These range from figures of sexual difference
through to bioethics, care, species invasion, war, post-carbon thought,
ecotechnics and time. As such, the volume is also a dossier on what
metamorphoses await the legacies of “humanistic” thought in adapting to,
or rethinking, the other materialities that impinge of contemporary
“life as we know it.”

edited by Henry Sussman (Yale University)
Freely available at:
http://openhumanitiespress.org/impasses-of-the-post-global.html
The diverse materials comprising Impasses of the Post-Global take as
their starting point an interrelated, if seemingly endless, sequence of
current ecological, demographic, socio-political, economic, and
informational disasters. These include the contemporary discourses of
climate change, ecological imbalance and despoilment, sustainability,
security, economic bailout, auto-immunity, and globalization itself.
