Hi all,
It's Tim Morton of Rice University here. I'm going to take Jack's suggestion
and paste this post I wrote here. I am an OOO person who writes on ecology and
philosophy.

If this already went in, sorry. Ignore. I'm pasting a post I wrote here,

Hi Everyone,
This is my first (or possibly second if the other got through) message to
the list, and I'm responding to a brief discussion of the notion of flat
ontology initiated by Michael O'Rourke (hi Michael!) and Frederic Neyrat.
OOO comes in various flavors and is not necessarily flat. Mine

Dear Lauren,
This is a very resonant phrase IMO:
as a process that works against being known, and therefore against death.
In my theory of causality death is precisely when an entity is fully known,
that is, successfully mistranslated. The thing becomes sheer appearance-for
others. Say an
Hi Johannes,
It seems to me you are not missing anything. If a glass could speak, we
would not understand what it was saying.

That's pretty accurate actually--for me, there are as many gaps in the
Hello Everyone,
My first reaction to *Hotel* is that the first few seconds are as it were
without people, like that chapter Time Passes in *To the Lighthouse*. The
wet skin is also without a person, in particular, just the light of the
bathroom reflected in the droplets of water. A conversation
Hi Davin,
We obviously treat different entities differently.
But this is not the same as saying that these entities are ontologically
different.

alienation from being of the sort that happens when markets try to
mediate everything through the common denominator of dollars.

Dear Simon,
OOO objects are far more fuzzy than your metaphysically present fuzz. They are
ontologically fuzzy.
To say fuzzy things are better than smooth things--this is just aesthetic
ideology run mad.

Hi Rob,
Lots of artists and musicians are now tuning into OOO.

Hi Patricia,
Is that piece from Becoming Undone? I'm writing an essay on ecocriticism and
materialism and would dearly love to read it, as I am not a materialist either
at this point, and it may be that there are some convergences.

Hi--there is no doubt of that. Most climate scientists I talk with have said
that if we go, then most lifeforms on earth are wiped.

Hi Everyone,
I just posted this on melancholia and objects on my blog, and since it's
apropos I thought I'd share it. It's the essence of how as an OOO'er I see
appearance or form.
Tim
melancholy doesn't imply anything about subjectivity. All you need for
melancholy are various kinds of object.
Hi All,
I just finished an essay for the book Prismatic Ecologies on X-rays. (We
are all taking a different wavelength of light and of course rather
perversely I chose X-rays, some of which are gamma rays.)
X-rays don't just show up on a (blank, medical) screen, but of course they

Hi all,
In answer to Cynthia, there are lots of reasons. During Katrina some people
stayed to look after their pets, for instance.
But in general, humans seem reluctant to admit the scope of the nonhuman forces
they have unleashed since the late eighteenth century.
