  • Knowing Otherwise

    Race, Gender, and Implicit Understanding

    by Alexis Shotwell ...
    Prejudice is often not a conscious attitude: because of ingrained habits in relating to the world, one may act in prejudiced ways toward others without explicitly understanding the meaning of one’s actions.

  • Against Purity

    Living Ethically in Compromised Times

    by Alexis Shotwell ...
    The world is in a terrible mess. It is toxic, irradiated, and full of injustice.

Might it be better to understand complexity and, indeed, our own complicity in much of what we think of as bad, ... Read more

    Series series Posthumanities
    Electrifying, provocative, and controversial when first published thirty years ago, Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” is even more relevant today, when the divisions that she so eloquently challenges—of human and machine but also of gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and location—are increasingly complex.

  • Dark Ecology

    For a Logic of Future Coexistence

    by Timothy Morton ...

Deckard travels this oedipal path in Blade Runner (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental ... Read more
