Thanks to the work of Paul John Ennis, a graduate student at University College, Dublin, there is now a new online, open-access journal for speculative realism: Speculations: The Journal of Object Oriented Ontology. Here's a blurb about the project:
Speculations is the journal of object oriented ontology. We hope to provide a forum for the exploration of object oriented ontology, speculative realism and post-continental philosophy. Our aim is to facilitate discussion about the ongoing development of object oriented ontology and in particular to explore new directions in object oriented research. The journal is open access and peer-reviewed. The journal accepts short position papers, full length articles and book reviews.
I'm reproducing the initial CFP below, and I hope it will be of interest to my readers. While it might seem like a "pure" philosophy journal, I think the description correctly leaves room for a wide variety of approaches to speculative thought and the philosophy of things writ large, including applications of such approaches in digital media.
Speculations is an open-access peer-reviewed journal. The deadline for submissions is February 28th 2010. Issue one is due to be published in early 2010 and will include submissions from Graham Harman, Ian Bogost and Levi Byrant.
