Latinx Visions 2.0

*ONE PLANET—MANY WORLDS*

CALL FOR PAPERS

ONLINE CONFERENCE

November 3-7, 2025



Co-Organizers: Matthew David Goodwin, Cathryn Merla-Watson, Taryne Jade
Taylor



We invite proposals for “Latinx Visions 2.0,” an online conference to be
held November 3-7, 2025. This conference aims to generate new dialogues
among scholars, artists, and community members who are engaged with Latinx
speculative fiction, art, performance, and protest. To this end we invite
proposals for papers, panels, roundtables, workshops, interviews or artist
talks, performances or other creative projects, which join diverse Latinx
visions with the speculative imagination. Proposals can focus on specific
works of science fiction, fantasy, surrealism, gothic, or horror, as well
as offer critical theories of the field as a whole and its unique political
aesthetics. In particular we are interested in submissions that highlight
speculative environmentalisms, eco-fiction and solarpunk, disaster
capitalism, Indigenous and Afro-Latinx speculative ecologies, new Latinx
media, global technologies and planetary consciousness. At this second
Latinx Visions conference, we are going global, changing the initial
direction of our gaze away from the wonders of outer space and toward the
marvels, monsters, and material concerns of our home planet. How does the
speculative imagination intertwine with the land that we walk upon and our
intricate relationships with life on Earth, the rocks, rivers, and air?
What traditional sciences and cultural practices are being recovered and
revised through the speculative arts? At Latinx Visions 2.0 we will project
our planetary web of humanity–technology–environment into the future to
sharpen our awareness of this One Planet with Many Worlds.



Send in your proposals of 250 words along with a short bio of 200 words to
the organizers by September 1, 2025: Submission Portal
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5raTGrC4WVencEV1cRvU9hemmXwQc0N-dDwWaUToJ0nkDEg/viewform?usp=header>.
Authors will be notified of the status of their submission by September 15,
2022. For more information or questions please do not hesitate to contact
the organizers: latinxvisions2 at gmail.com.
