The Stuff of Life
Timothy Morton, Rice University, USA In The Stuff of Life, Timothy Morton chooses the objects that have shaped and punctuated their life to tell the story of who they are. These objects are 'things' in the richest sense. They are non-human beings that have a presence and force of their own. From Battersea Power Station to a packet of anti-depressants, Morton explores why 'stuff' matters and why the life of these things have so powerfully impinged upon their own. Their realization, through a concealer stick, that they identify as non-binary reveals the strange and wonderful ways that objects can form our worlds.

Posthumanism in Practice
Edited by Christine Daigle, Brock University, Canada & Matthew Hayler, University of Birmingham, UK Posthumanism in Practice applies posthumanist thinking to intersectional practices in the arts, sciences and humanities. In this book, artists, researchers, educators and curators set out how their own work has changed in response to engaging with posthumanism, or how the things that they have discovered can be better understood within this different paradigm. By capturing these ideas, this volume shows how posthumanist thought can move beyond theory, inform action and produce new artefacts, effects and methods that are more relevant and useful for the incoming realities for all life in the 21st century.

More Posthuman Glossary
Edited by Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, Emily Jones, University of Essex, UK & Goda Klumbytė, University of Kassel, Germany The notion of the posthuman continues to both intrigue and confuse, not least because of the huge number of ideas, theories and figures associated with this term. More Posthuman Glossary provides a way in to the dizzying array of posthuman concepts, providing vivid accounts of emerging terms. A follow-up volume to the brilliant interventions of Posthuman Glossary (2018), this book extends and elaborates on that work, particularly focusing on concepts of race, indigeneity and new ideas in radical ecology.

Beyond Nihilism
The Turn in Heidegger’s Thought from Nietzsche to Hölderlin Dominic Kelly, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Dominic Kelly investigates the ‘turn’ in Heidegger’s thought and shows how in the 1930s Heidegger began to think in a way that was not entirely philosophical. Kelly shows how this shift occurred in Heidegger’s notion of history. This is revealed by his engagement with Friedrich Nietzsche, who he analysed purely philosophically, and the poet, Friedrich Hölderlin, whose writing allowed him to think outside of a solely metaphysical framework and move beyond nihilism. By exploring the intellectual vicissitudes of this concept, Kelly has illustrated the trajectory of one of the most important debates in 20th-century continental philosophy.

Encounters in the Arts, Literature, and Philosophy Chance and Choice
Edited by Jérôme Brillaud, The University of Manchester, UK & Virginie Greene, Harvard University, USA With contributions from esteemed academics, including Pierre Saint-Amand and Jean-Jacques Nattiez, this volume focuses on chance and scripted encounters as sites of tensions and alliances where new forms, ideas, meanings, interpretations, and theories can emerge. By moving beyond the realm of traditional hermeneutics, Jérôme Brillaud and Virginie Greene have compiled a collection that vitally illustrates how reading encounters represented in artefacts, texts, and films is a vibrant and dynamic mode of encountering and interpreting.
