This summer, we will be publishing our latest Unpsychology Magazine - EDGES. Last year we published two Imaginings anthologies – rich tapestries of complexity, creativity and conversation. You can find out more about the 2023 curation - in both PDF and print versions HERE. You might also like to stock up on the back issues that will always be available as free downloads. You can read about each issue below.
Back issues #1 - 8
Numbers 1 & 2 were first published as small printed pamphlets with a range of articles, poetry and artwork addressing ‘unpsychological’ themes. They are now available as PDFs, though not in their original printed form.
Number 3 - the Childhood issue – included artwork and design by Ruth Thorp and, among other pieces, a reprint of a chapter from Jay Griffith’s wonderful book, Kith: The Riddle of the Childscape. It also comes with a PDF poetry supplement. The free PDF versions are in the download folder, but you can still get a copy of the original print edition by contacting steve@unpsychology.org (very limited copies available!).
Number 4 - the Climate Minds Anthology – our first solely digital issue specifically focused on the psychological implications of the climate emergency. This was a rich collection of essays, art, poetry and fiction - and set the template for future anthologies in terms of its scope and design.
Number 5 – Earthsongs – our first multimedia edition. The focus of this one was music and song – and the connection between music, activism and other forms of creativity. There’s a special online music and video playlist accompanying this edition.
Number 6 – the Other-Than-Human issue – a rich and beautiful mix of art forms, delving deep into the world of non-human people and the way we relate. This one is special – and carries some wonderful and surprising contributions.
Number 7 – Climate, Complexity, Change – our second ‘climate’ issue is infused with a mixture of hope and grief, as our contributors come to terms with what climate complexity means to them. Their message?: There are no direct solutions, but there is still the urgent task of living in the world to get on with!
Number 8 – An anthology of Warm Data – Our special collaboration with Nora Bateson and the Warm Data community was published in 2022. This beautiful 256 page edition (see video above), contains a warm treasury of contributions from Warm Data hosts and others.
