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. <span></span></span></p>
