eTropic Call for Papers: "Decolonizing the Tropics"

Special Issue Theme: Decolonizing the Tropics

This special issue aligns itself with the fields of decolonial, anti-colonial, and postcolonial scholarship, and thinks these theories through the critical notion of tropicality. The aim is to rearticulate these fields in tropical terms, that is, with scholarly, applied/engaged, and creative practices from, about, and with the tropical world. This focus is crucial given that current scholarship in postcolonialism and decoloniality still predominantly originates from European/temperate contexts and is primarily informed by Western philosophies and epistemologies. In order to decolonize this status quo, the special issue recognizes not only that colonial systems have profoundly impacted the tropics, but also that neo-colonial power remains an active material reality. This special issue welcomes papers informed by decolonizing intuitions and from scholars of/from formerly and ongoingly colonized regions of the tropics.

Decolonizing the Tropics seeks disciplinary contributions from:

• Ecocriticism, Multispecies Studies, Environmental Humanities

• Anthropology, Heritage and Material Studies, Archaeology

• Post/colonialism and Decoloniality Studies

• Queer, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

• Indigeneity and Indigenous Studies

• Performance and Cinema Studies

• History and Philosophy of Science

• Science and Technology Studies

• Architecture and Urban Planning

• Feminist and Cultural Studies

• Gothic and Horror Studies

This special issue centers on three major themes: theoretical engagements with postcolonialism and decolonialization; new vocabularies and vernaculars through which discourses on decoloniality can be initiated; and varieties of practices across disciplinary fields which demonstrate what decolonial tropicality may be – including its entanglement with people, ecology and climate.

We accept writings in disciplinary genres (the scholarly and the creative), and encourage hybrid forms. We also seek submissions engaging material elements—photographs, videos, art, music, theatre, cinema.
