[-empyre-] Renate Ferro: What's on your Bookshelf 2021

[Timothy Conway Murray]

Happy 2021 empyreans.  It's been quite a ride through the past year, no?.  I join Renate in hoping that our sharing of reading lists will empower us through the months to come.

Here are some titles that have gotten me through the challenging year and that I'm looking forward to bringing into dialogue with each other as I pursue various writing projects in 2021:

Ian Baucom, History 4degrees Celcius: Search for a Method in the Age of the Anthropocene (Duke)
Amy Sue Carroll, REMEX: Toward An Art History of the NAFTA Era (Texas)
Bishnupriya Ghosh and Bhaskar Sarkar, eds., The Routledge Companion to Media and Risk (Routledge)
Anna Watkins Fisher, The Play in the System: The Art of Parasitical Resistance (Duke)
Erin Graff-Zivin, Anarchaeologies: Reading as Misreading (Fordham)
Katherine Groo, Bad Film Histories: Ethnography and the Early Archive (Minnesota)
Fred Moten, Black and Blur: Consent Not To Be a Single Being (Duke)
Rahul Mukherjee, Radiant Infrastructures: Media, Environment, and Cultures of Uncertainty (Duke)
Andrea Righi, The Other Side of the Digital: The Sacrificial Economy of New Media (Minnesota)
Samantha N. Sheppard, Sporting Blackness: Race, Embodiment, and Critical Muscle Memory on Screen (California)
James Steintrager and Rey Chow, eds., Sound Objects (Duke)
Jennifer Lynn Stoever, The Sonic Color Line: Race and the Cultural Politics of Listening (NYU)
Antoine Traisnel, Capture: American Pursuits and the Making of a New Animal Condition (Minnesota)
Patricia R. Zimmermann and Helen De Michel, Open Space New Media Documentary: A Toolkit for Theory and Practice (Routledge)

Hope you have an opportunity to be touched by their thought.

Cheers,

Tim
