This workshop explores speculation as what José Muñoz calls a world-making practice in art, media, literature and theory. Drawing on critical insights from feminist, decolonial, queer, Indigenous, and critical race theories, we will explore the affective force of imagination in creating social forms, through reading sessions, artist talks, and presentations and discussion. Please do the readings beforehand. Sponsored by the Institute for Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies, McGill; the Moving Image Research Lab; Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
