Volume 6. Biomediaciones / Biomediaciones

Authors: xxxxxxxx

What is a living book?

A living book is a curated, open access book about life -- with life understood both philosophically and biologically -- which provides multiple points of connection, translation, interrogation and contestation between the humanities and the sciences. A living book is itself ‘living’, in the sense that it remains open to ongoing collaborative processes of writing, editing, updating and remixing by readers. As well as repackaging open access science research -- along with interactive maps, visualisations, podcasts and audio-visual material -- into a book, the project is thus engaged in rethinking ‘the book’ itself as a living, collaborative, non-profit, processual endeavour in the age of open access, open science, open knowledge and open education. Biomediaciones/Biomediations is inspired and published by the Living Books About Life project edited by Clare Birchall, Gary Hall and Joanna Zylinska and published by Open Humanities Press (OHP).
