Publications

Experimental Practices: Technoscience, Literature, Art, Philosophy

Eds.: Sher Doruff, Manuela Rossini

This book series consists of two strands:

1. Works by single authors and truly collaborative volumes. As well as books on larger historical, political and theoretical topics and experimental collaborations across disciplines, it encourages studies concentrating on a single author, artist or indeed work.
2. Selected papers from the European Society for Science, Literature and the Arts. Each yearly publication has a strong individual identity, centered on a specific topic and is entrusted to a distinguished guest editor.
