“The stalwart left-wing publisher OR Books has firmly established itself as the go-to source for titles that challenge the status quo and suggest options for moving beyond our current ruts. Two new collections from OR do just that.” — EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE! and REDISCOVERING EARTH reviewed in CounterPunch

Tuesday, April 6th, 2021

“[Everything Must Change! pulls together] an impressive mix of international leftist movers and shakers. The result is a commendably broad range of ideas about moving forward with left agendas… The goal of Rediscovering Earth is to not only analyze the insanity of continuing knowingly to destroy our planet but also to help us avert catastrophe… I hope that both of these collections can contribute to an ideological shift away from settling for business as usual.

““Critical Zones: Observatories for Earthly Politics” is the title of the show that Bruno Latour, a dependable coiner of epistemological metaphors and neologisms, and Peter Weibel, acting as usual as the pandisciplinary authority on all fields and topics, organized for the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany (the exhibition is their third collaboration at this venue), with staff curators Martin Guinard-Terrin and Bettina Korintenberg. “The best way” to map our beleaguered world is to “see it as a network of CRITICAL ZONES,” according to the exhibition materials. “Generated over eons of time by various life forms, these CRITICAL ZONES form a surface only a few kilometers thin.” The organizers connect their title to the claim that they are taking a fundamentally new approach to the thinkability of life on this planet.”
