BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?
A new open access model for books
BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. By prioritising authors that are often underrepresented in scholarly publishing, including early-career and unaffiliated researchers and those based in/writing about low- and lower-middle- income countries, we hope to engage a more diverse author base, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
THE BOOKS
Following the success of our 2024-25 expansion, in 2025-26 we will continue to offer three collections of 20 titles each in:
• African Studies & International Development
• Environment & Climate Change
• Gender & Sexuality
BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES
• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 60 research titles available open access immediately on publication at no cost to the authors
• Receive guaranteed perpetual access to the 20 titles in each Open Collection you participate in
• Receive 1 year’s access to ~150 backlist titles in related areas for each Open Collection you participate in
• Be publicly acknowledged on our website

Fanon, Žižek, and the Violence of Resistance
Zahi Zalloua, Whitman College, USA
In a novel pairing of anti-colonial theorist Frantz Fanon with Marxist-Lacanian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, Zahi Zalloua explores the ways both thinkers expose the violence of political structures The purpose of this inventive exploration is to advance an anti-racist critique, attending to the processes by which ontology operates in a racial matrix to produce some human bodies that count and others (deemed not-quite- or non-human) that do not For Fanon and Žižek, the violence of ontology must be met with another for m of violence, a revolutionary violence that delegitimizes the logic of the symbolic order and troubles its collective fantasies

Zero Point
Slavoj Žižek, Birkbeck Institute for Humanities, University of London, UK
The essays in Zero Point ask how we distinguish defeat from disaster, and how we confront despair without collapsing into it - questions never more pertinent than the current moment in the wake of electoral victories for authoritarian populists and unceasing news of violent atrocities
The 'zero-point' of the title is ground level, rock bottom, the place to which one retreats and where one regroups Taken from Vladimir Lenin's 1922 piece 'On Ascending a High Mountain, in which Lenin considers the complexities of how one 'retreats' while keeping faith in the cause, the central simile of the climber offers a blueprint for resilience, flexibility, and the persistence of hope.

Punk Anarchism
An Anti-Theory of Resistance
Sean Parson, Northern Arizona University, USA Punk Anarchism is a radical critique of contemporary politics and offering an alternative framework rooted in anarchism, punk rock, dadaism, and situationism It argues that traditional approaches to political change are ineffective in the face of the climate crisis and the failures of liberal institutions Instead of focusing on reformist measures like recycling and voting, the book advocates for a nihilistic approach that rejects the possibility of meaningful change within the existing political system Ultimately, Parson proposes an anti-theory of negation as a way to imagine political agency beyond traditional frameworks

The Philosophy of Virginia Woolf Moments of Becoming
Thomas Nail, University of Denver, USA
Towards the end of her life, Virginia Woolf defined her “philosophy”—the “constant idea” that “makes her a writer.” She called these “exceptional moments,” or “moments of being.”
Thomas Nail contends that Woolf is a philosopher of being And these "moments of being" as forming a unique process philosophy of motion The Philosophy of Virginia Woolf contends that Woolf offers us an absolutely unique philosophical and aesthetic understanding of phenomena, that she is a philosopher in her own right, held a unique philosophical position that makes a totally unique contribution to how to think in the world

Freedom
A
Disease Without Cure
Slavoj Žižek, Birkbeck Institute for Humanities, University of London, UK
Freedom is a concept that appears deceptively simple but the moment we try to define it, we encounter contradictions In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Žižek draws on philosophers including Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Edith Wharton, and counters the idea of libertarian individualism, to argue that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile Tracing its connection to a variety of issues, including environmental breakdown, capitalism, and war, he shows through this entertaining and illuminating journey how a deeper understanding of freedom can offer hope in dark times

David Lean Filmmaker and Philosopher
Lydia Goehr, Columbia University, USA
This book draws out the threads and themes of this widely celebrated and incredibly influential director who, despite his long career, consistently refused to claim anything approaching a unifying mode of thought in his work From the early, more domestic films like Brief Encounter and his Dickens adaptations, to the sprawling epics Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, the five decades that Lean devoted to filmmaking are laid out and their common motifs plotted in full. These films enable philosophical discussions to be brought to bear on Lean’s films, unearthing the thoughts and ideas behind one of cinema’s great technicians

Anthropomorphism in Christian Theology
The Apophatics of the Sensible
William C. Hackett, Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, USA
William C Hackett provides a renewed reading of Christian theology by evaluating the role of anthropomorphism Through this theological history, he addresses the fear of anthropomorphism that prompted early philosophers and theologians to adopt abstract understandings of God Hackett charts its wide-ranging importance to theology through figures including Balthasar, Bultmann, Dionysius the Areopagite, and Cyril of Alexandria By exploring the turn away from embodied views of God in Scripture, this book focuses on anthropomorphic views of God in symbols, images, and narratives Emphasising these forms promotes an intellectual vision of Christianity that challenges theoretical and conceptual abstraction

From Anselm of Canterbury to Bernard of Clairvaux

Militant Aesthetics
Art Activism in the 21st Century
Martin Lang, University of Lincoln, UK
Bringing together political and aesthetic theory, Martin Lang provides a comprehensive examination of militant art. Through first-hand interviews and experiences, this book sheds light on numerous international case studies, from Grupo Etcétera who are prepared to risk arrest for their art to others like Thomas Bresolin, who utilises military uniforms in violent performances that connect with public anger Combining these examples with the thought of Badiou, Žižek, Rancière and Mouffe, as well as up-to-date scholarship from Bishop, Léger and others, Lang investigates the instances, attributes and rules of militant art, to propose a new overall theory of 21st-century militant aesthetics

Ideology and Interpellation Anti-Humanism to Non-Philosophy
Jonathan Fardy, Idaho State University, USA
Bringing Althusser into dialogue with Laruelle, Rancière, and Baudrillard, Jonathan Fardy examines the ground-breaking Althusserian theory of ideological interpellation through three of its key critics From Laruelle’s dismissal of Althusser’s presumption that “standard philosophy” is guarded against the lures of ideology to Rancière’s contention that employers’ failure to “interpellate” or recruit workers was due to their failure to understand the workers’ dreams of unwaged aesthetic and philosophical labour, this book reveals the continuing relevance of post-Althusserian Marxist thought Importantly, it also demonstrates the need today for a rigorous theory of ideology, traces of which can be found in Althusser’s legacy

Drawing on the history of philosophy, from the ancient concept of flourishing to Kant, Nietzsche, and Foucault, this ground-breaking volume examines the theory and practice of philosophical health in contemporary contexts of care Going beyond physical and psychological health, one may envision philosophical health as a state of creative coherence between a person’s way of thinking and their way of acting, such that the possibilities for a good life are increased Advocating philosophy as a lived practice, this international volume uncovers the increasing relevance of philosophical health to contemporary debates on well-being, counselling, and personal development

Negative Hermeneutics and the Question of Practice
Nicholas Davey, University of Dundee, UK How do words and images function hermeneutically? How does hermeneutic practice work? Answering these questions and more, Nicholas Davey develops the hermeneutical foundations of creative practice With Gadamer’s language ontology as his cue, he takes Gadamerian thinking beyond Gadamer himself, investigating in particular the productive value of negativity that is central to hermeneutics and to wider spheres of creative learning In doing so, this pioneering volume not only uncovers the significance of philosophical hermeneutics for the arts and the humanities, but defends the humanities as a whole from the current scepticism inspired by deconstruction and post-structuralism

Barry Hallen brings together four Yoruba artists and scholars who write about the art and aesthetics of their own culture By setting their writings side-by-side, Hallen treats their work as interrelated for the first time. We see how, when combined, they offer a higher level of understanding of the remarkable and fascinating form of life associated with the name Yoruba. The first book of its kind to take such a discursive and analytic approach to Yoruba art and aesthetics, this collection represents exciting new scholarship in the disciplines that have come to be known as African philosophy and art history

Art-Making as Spiritual Practice Rituals of Embodied Understanding
Edited by Lexi Eikelboom & David Newheiser, Australian Catholic University, Australia
This open access collection establishes a new paradigm that changes the conversation surrounding the spiritual significance of art. This innovative volume turns its attention to the role of the artist, and to specific examples of art practices, putting them into conversation with particular ritual practices By creating a web of connections that emerge across multiple disciplines and practices, a team of scholars and artist shed new light on the way art-making and ritual embody non-discursive forms of understanding This is a rich and in-depth examination of the possibility that art has spiritual meanings that are endemic to the practice of art-making itself

Deleuze and the Problem of Experience
Transcendental Empiricism
Dror Yinon, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
This comprehensive reframing of Gilles Deleuze as a transcendental empiricist delves into his seminal Difference and Repetition to unearth a system that inverts the Kantian worldview By focusing on Deleuze’s theory of the faculties, we can see how he builds a transcendental system of thought that defies the predictability of empirical experience. This new understanding of Deleuze as a transcendental empiricist not only helps to situate his work in the constellation of twentieth century French philosophers but also helps us to understand a philosopher for whom difference and heterogeneity were central to his own philosophical corpus

The Contingent Universality
A New Ontology
Jure Simoniti, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
There may exist something like the most unbearable of all philosophical thoughts It is the thought of contingency and universality converging, intersecting, and being one and the same thing, approached from two different perspectives Hardly anything is as unsettling as the insight into the absolute contingency of the emergence of universals, and the correlative realization that the only true universality is one of the contingency of everything The goal of this book is to think this unbearable thought through to the end and face up to its most binding and disconcerting consequences

Focusing on the concept of slowness in Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy, this book diverges from the conventional interpretation of Deleuze as a philosopher of speed or even accelerationism, instead delving into the minor but critical themes in his works, from idiocy to catatonia Advocating for a pragmatic reading of its source material, it utilises Deleuze’s thought to address the urgent challenges in contemporary political and social philosophy, particularly the issue of acceleration in its subjective, socio-political, and ecological dimensions

Providing a fresh perspective on Frege’s account of various pragmatic aspects of language, he addresses questions such as: How exactly does sense differ from colouring? What does Frege mean by terms such as presuppositions and side-thoughts, and wherein lies the difference between these phenomena? In this first book-length treatment of Frege’s pragmatics, Sandor makes the case that Frege’s groundbreaking ideas are an essential part of his overall philosophical enterprise

A Philosophical History of Police Power
Melayna Kay Lamb, University of Law, UK This book demonstrates the manner in which police power exists in a complex relationship with sovereignty and law, in a form which is not reducible to implementation It argues for the centrality of order in any consideration of police and challenging a common narrative whereby a dynamic, interventionist sovereign power that follows from a belief of order as ‘artificial’ is replaced by a liberal, non-interventionist sovereign power that proceeds from a ‘natural’ order Moving through thinkers such as Hobbes, Hegel and Adam Smith the book shows the an-archic character of police power
