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.” # Introduction: Murmurations—“Climate Change” and the Defacement of Theory by Tom Cohen # 1.
