[Gary Hall]

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.”

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

security, economic bailout, auto-immunity, and globalization itself.
