Published in association with the Society for the Study of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Proximities: Experiments in Nearness, a series edited by David Cecchetto and Arielle Saiber, features work that is crafted with nearness in mind: human nearness to one another and to that which is outside of us; nearness to each other’s thoughts; to our recorded and unrecorded pasts; to critical trends and crises; and to the realities of what’s next. Books in the series activate dialogue between the arts and sciences—past, present, and future.
