Reoccupy Earth: Notes Toward an Other Beginning by David Wood
Fordham University Press
Habit rules our lives. And yet climate change and the catastrophic future it portends make it clear that we cannot go on like this. In a spirited defense of an enlightened anthropocentrism, Wood argues that to deserve the privileges of reason we must demonstrably deploy it through collective sustainable agency. Only in this way can we reinhabit the Earth.

Fact and Fiction: Elements of a General Theory of Narrative by Albrecht Koschorke, Joel Golb
De Gruyter
This book is based on the assumption that to a large extent, social dynamics is modeled in an aesthetic manner via narratives. It explores the narrative organisation of cultural spaces and time-frames, the mythological shaping of communities and adversaries, and the co-production of narratives and institutions aimed at stabilizing social life.
