It is built on the concept of immanent ethics: how can we have a political and ethical theory without any external basis, such as object or morality? He argues that the only way to do this is with virtual theory, and he sees the whole life (not just of cyberculture) as virtual.

  • Twilight of the Anthropocene Idols
    Twilight of theTwilight of Anthropocene Idols Following on from Theory and the Disappearing Future, Cohen, Colebrook and Miller turn their attention to the eco-critical and environmental humanities’ newest and most fashionable of concepts, the Anthropocene. The question that has escaped focus, as ‘tipping points’ are acknowledged as passed, is how language, mnemo-tech- Twilight of the Anthropocene Idols nologies and the epistemology of tropes appear to guide the accelerating ecocide, and how that implies a mutation within reading itself—from the era of extinction events. Tom Cohen, Claire Colebrook amd J. Hillis Miller There’s something uncanny about the very word Anthropocene. Perhaps it is in the way it seems to arrive too early and too late. It describes something that is still happening as if it had happened. Perhaps it is that it seems to implicate something about the ‘human’ but from a vantage point where the human would be over and done with, or never really existed in the first place. And so besides the crush of data there’s a problem of language to attend to in thinking where and when and who we are or could ever be or have been. Cohen, Colebrook and Miller do us the courtesy of taking the Anthropocene to be a name that marks both the state of the world and the state of language. They bring their consider- able collective resources to bear on this state of language, that we might better weave words that attend to the state of the world. McKenzie Wark, author of Molecular Red: Theory for the Anthropocene With breathtaking fearlessness, the authors expose the full extent of the Enlight- enment shell game: not only have ‘we’ never been modern, we’ve never even been human.

  • Sex After Life
    Sex After Life Sex After Life aims to consider the various ways in which the concept of life has provided normative and moralizing ballast for queer, feminist and critical theories. Arguing against a notion of the queer as counter-normative, Sex After Life appeals to the concept of life as a philosophical problem. Life is neither Sex After Life a material ground nor a generative principle, but can nevertheless offer itself for new forms of problem formation that exceed the all too human logics of Essays on Extinction, Vol. 2 survival.

Understood in a broad and critical sense, climate change concerns material agencies that impact on biomass and energy, erased borders and microbial invention, geological and nanographic time, and extinction events. The possibil- ity of extinction has always been a latent figure in textual production and archives; but the current sense of deple- tion, decay, mutation and exhaustion calls for new modes of address, new styles of publishing and authoring, and new formats and speeds of distribution.

  • Death of the Posthuman: Essays on Extinction, Vol. 1
    Death the of PostHuman Death of the PostHuman undertakes a series of critical encounters with the legacy of what had come to be known as ‘theory,’ and its contemporary supposedly posthuman aftermath. There can be no redemptive posthuman future in which the myopia and anthropocentrism of the species finds an exit Death of the PostHuman and manages to emerge with ecology and life. At the same time, what has come to be known as the human—despite its normative intensity—can provide Essays on Extinction, Vol. 1 neither foundation nor critical lever in the Anthropocene epoch. Death of the PostHuman argues for a twenty-first century deconstruction of ecological and Claire Colebrook seemingly posthuman futures.
