a peer-reviewed, open-access, and post-disciplinary journal, launched in 2011, devoted to object-oriented studies, both situated within and traversing the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and the arts. The journal invites new work that explores the weird realism, thingliness, and life-worlds of objects, and also aims to cultivate current streams of thought already established within object-oriented studies, while also providing space for new pathways along which disparate voices and bodies of object-oriented knowledges might encounter, influence, perturb, and motivate one another. A production of punctum books; Levi Bryant and Eileen Joy, Editors.
