Dear friends of OHP,

We are delighted to announce Tom Cohen's Ecocide and Inscription vol. 1: Black Ops. Petrolepathy, Escaped Slaves, Cinemacide – A Tele-mnemonics for the After-Times.

Examining works by Faulkner, Morrison and Hitchcock among others, Tom Cohen traces a “hyper-blackness” that exceeds racial binaries and links to the viscous materiality of oil. He argues that this blackness before face or figuration offers a way to rupture the “Anthropocene” spell and its attendant anaesthesias. By tracking inscriptions that melt back into a prefigural domain, Cohen outlines a literary structure of climate change itself, one that undoes conventional notions of meaning, reference, and human exceptionalism.
