Contemporanea is a nascent lexicon for the twenty-first century edited by seasoned philosophers and authors Michael Marder and Giovanbattista Tusa. 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 describe what they anticipate with be the concepts shaping the trajectory of this century-everything from the world state to the nuclear taboo, automation to Teslaism, plant sexuality to arachnomania, and ecotrauma to resonances, to name a few. This century, as the editors explain, has grounded itself in the debris of the preceding century, whose revolutions and struggles failed to transform our time: post-colonialism, post-fascim, 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, we need a new language. And, to develop a new language, we need to develop new concepts, including the concepts proposed in this collection.
