GAM 07 Zero Landscape Is Out

This one has an essay of mine in it. As I wait for it here's the call for papers for a new do:

Lebensräume und Habitate auf unserem Planeten werden in zunehmender
Geschwindigkeit und Intensität vom Menschen besetzt und verändert.
GAM.07 nimmt deshalb Landschaft und Umwelt als Protagonisten dieser Entwicklung und nicht bloß passiven Hintergrund in den Blick: Neben der urbanen Expansion wirken sich auch der Klimawandel, die Frage der Versorgung mit Nahrungsmitteln und Rohstoffen und der zunehmende Bedarf an erneuerbaren Energien gravierend auf die Gestaltung künftiger Gesellschaften aus. Zero Landscape legt das Augenmerk auf eine Entwicklung, in der die uns umgebende Landschaft selbst zum Anlass und Impulsgeber massiver gesellschaftlicher Transformation wird – zum active agent zukünftiger Entwicklungen.

Interessierte Autoren finden den Call for Papers zum Thema Dense Cities für GAM.08 unter http://gam.tugraz.at

“Outstanding.”
—Slavoj Zizek, In Defense of Lost Causes

“Dark ecology has the potential to be the punk rock or experimental pop of ecological thinking.”
—Kasino A4

“It isn’t [nature] itself that needs trashing — we’re doing a fine job of that already; it’s our way of thinking about it that needs to be structurally realigned ... it's an important book that, in a scant 205 pages of main text ... frames a debate that no doubt will be carried on for years to come.”
—Vince Carducci, Pop Matters

“He practices what he theorizes: nothing is wasted in his argumentation.”
—Emmanouil Aretoulakis, Synthesis

“Picking up where his most obvious predecessors, Gregory Bateson and Felix Guattari, left off, Morton understands mental ecology as the ground zero of ecological thinking, as that which must be redressed before anything else and above all. Morton goes beyond both his forebears, however, in repairing the rift between science and the humanities, which the Enlightenment opened up and against which Romanticism reacted. Perhaps most pleasantly surprising, given its erudition, is that in its stylistic elegance The Ecological Thought is as satisfying to read as it is necessary to ponder.”
—Vince Carducci
