A Theory of Assembly
How to Live at the End of the World
From Museums to Memes Kyle Parry
Theory, Art, and Politics for the Anthropocene Travis Holloway
Digital and social media have transformed how much and how fast we communicate. But they have also altered the palette of expressive strategies: the cultural forms that shape how citizens, activists, and artists speak and interact. Most familiar among these strategies are storytelling and representation. Kyle Parry argues that one of the most powerful and pervasive cultural forms in the digital era is assembly. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
How to Live at the End of the World is a hopeful exploration of how we might inherit the name "Anthropocene," renarrate it, and revise our way of life or thought in view of it. In his book on time, art, and politics in an era of escalating climate change, Holloway takes up difficult, unanswered questions and sketches a path toward a radical form of democracy—a zoocracy, or, a rule of all of the living.

What Is Extinction?
Black Femme Art for Survival Omise'eke Natasha Tinsley
A Natural and Cultural History of Last Animals Joshua Schuster
Life on Earth is facing a mass extinction event of our own making. Human activity is changing the biology and the meaning of extinction. What Is Extinction? examines several key moments that have come to define the terms of extinction over the past two centuries, exploring instances of animal and human finitude and the cultural forms used to document and interpret these events. FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
A celebration of the distinctive and politically defiant art of Black queer, cis-, and transfemmes, from the work of Janelle Monáe and Janet Mock to that of Indya Moore and Kelsey Lu. This book conceptualizes Black femme as a set of consciously, continually rescripted cultural and aesthetic practices that disrupts conventional meanings of race, gender, and sexuality.
