The collection showcases perspectives from a range of noteworthy thinkers in philosophy, ecology, and cultural studies, as well as artists, from across the globe, including Slavoj Zizek, Timothy Morton, Denise Ferreira Da Silva, and Vandana Shiva, who each describe what they anticipate will be the concepts shaping the trajectory of this century—everything from the world state to the nuclear taboo, automation to Teslaism, plant sexuality to arachnomancy, and ecotrauma to resonances, to name a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis century, as the editors explain, has to date grounded itself in the debris of the preceding century, whose revolutions and struggles failed to transform our time: post-colonialism, post-fascism, and post-liberalism have morphed into neocolonialism, neoliberalism, and neofascism, often combined in a previously unimaginable mix. And, just as the political developments at the beginning of the twenty-first century revived and reshuffled those of the preceding epoch, so too have philosophical trends sought to breathe fresh life into the stillborn -isms of the past—realism, vitalism, logicism, materialism, empiricism, criticism—adding the adjective “new” and sometimes “radical” before them. To articulate a different future, another language is needed. And, to develop another language, one needs to develop fresh concepts, including the concepts proposed in this collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMieke Bal, Claudia Baracchi, Amanda Boetzkes, Erik Bordeleau, Anita Chari, Emanuele Coccia, Valentina Desideri, Roberto Esposito, Filipe Ferreira, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Claire Fontaine, Graham Harman, Yogi Hale Hendlin, Ranjit Hoskote, Cymene Howe, Daniel Innerarity, Joela Jacobs, Ken Kawashima, Sabu Kohso, Bogna Konior, Brandon LaBelle, Anna Longo, Artemy Magun, Michael Marder, Michael Marder, Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh, Timothy Morton, Mycelium, Jean-Luc Nancy, Bahar Noorizadeh, Kelly Oliver, Uriel Orlow, Richard Polt, Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback, Tomás Saraceno, Vandana Shiva, Anton Tarasyuk, Anaïs Tondeur, Giovanbattista Tusa, Sjoerd van Tuinen, Santiago Zabala, Zahi Zalloua, Slavoj ŽižekCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e 1 THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: OVERTURE 1\u003cbr\u003e Michael Marder and Giovanbattista Tusa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREMNANTS\u003cbr\u003e 2 ANAMNESIA 9\u003cbr\u003e 3 NECROBIOSIS 15\u003cbr\u003e 4 DISRUPTION 21\u003cbr\u003e 5 SEA RUINS 25\u003cbr\u003e 6 DUMP 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SENSORIA\u003cbr\u003e 7 IMAGING 37\u003cbr\u003e 8 ACOUSTICS 51\u003cbr\u003e 9 RESENTMENT\/RESSENTIMENT 57\u003cbr\u003e 10 MADNESS 67\u003cbr\u003e 11 BODY: “WE DON’T YET KNOW WHAT A BODY IS FOR” 79\u003cbr\u003e 12 RESONANCE 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e MATERIALITIES\u003cbr\u003e 13 THE EMPRESS: ON ABUNDANCE = GENEROSITY + GENERATIVITY 95\u003cbr\u003e 14 ARCHIPELAGO 99\u003cbr\u003e 15 PLASTIC IS PLASTIC 107\u003cbr\u003e 16 LIQUIDITY (OR YOU CAN’T BE ALONE IN A LIQUIDITY POOL) 113\u003cbr\u003e 17 PLACENTA, THE COMPANION OF THE DEPTHS 121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ECOPOIESIS\u003cbr\u003e 18 REGENERATION 129\u003cbr\u003e 19 NATURE 137\u003cbr\u003e 20 ANIMALS 143\u003cbr\u003e 21 INTERSPECIES 153\u003cbr\u003e 22 PLANT SEXUALITY 163\u003cbr\u003e 23 ARACHNOMANCY 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRAXES\u003cbr\u003e 24 WORLD STATE 193\u003cbr\u003e 25 THE NUCLEAR TABOO AND THE END OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 26 PRIVACING 201\u003cbr\u003e 27 ON PEACE (DIMLY LIT) 207\u003cbr\u003e 28 LABOR-POWER  (ARBEITSKRAFT; 労働力) 213\u003cbr\u003e 29 INSTITUTION 225\u003cbr\u003e 30 POLITICAL MANNERISM 231\u003cbr\u003e 31 AMBIGUITY 241\u003cbr\u003e 32 PARRHESIA 247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTECHNICS\u003cbr\u003e 33 WIRED BRAIN 259\u003cbr\u003e 34 AUTOMATION 263\u003cbr\u003e 35 TESLAISM: ECONOMICS AT THE END OF THE END OF THE FUTURE 273\u003cbr\u003e 36 BAYESIAN PROBABILITY 289\u003cbr\u003e 37 EXONET 293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTEMPORALITIES\u003cbr\u003e 38 ECOTRAUMA 303\u003cbr\u003e 39 LULLABY: PROTOTYPES OF FUTURE EVIL 309\u003cbr\u003e 40 HAUNTING: PLANT GHOSTS AND CHRONO-GARDENING 317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 41 FUTURITIES 325\u003cbr\u003e 42 ANARKHÍA: THE RETURN OF AIR 333\u003cbr\u003e 43 DÉFAILLANCE: OF PHILOSOPHY 337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CONTRIBUTORS 345Michael Marder\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis Ikerbasque Research Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of the Basque Country, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
