The central question of this conference concerns how to formulate and communicate new, global histories of racism and racial thought, beyond national narratives. It lays special emphasis on reflections regarding how best to acknowledge and teach the long-intertwined histories of German and Latin American practices of racialization. While the focus is on Latin America-German connections, proposals engaging with additional areas are welcome as well. Contributions from all disciplines are welcome, with emphasis on contributions from the fields of history and the teaching of history (‘didactics of history’ /Geschichtsdidaktik).

The main aim of this book is to explore the sensory experience of Latin America. Going beyond the assumption of the existence of “Latin America” as a given. Instead, this book seeks precisely to delve into the sensory complexities that shape the perception of this region as such. Latin American Sensorium explores the representations of the senses, the sensory hierarchies, and the modes of performance of the senses that mediate the perception of a connection between the different communities covered by this term.

This issue aims to center and engage knowledges and theories from the global south and or/colonized subjects - broadly conceived- to rethink and better understand the current moment we are living in. We use the “global south” and colonized subjects in a capacious manner. That is, we conceptualize the global south as a relational category that denotes lack of access to resources, especially for those who are or continue to be colonized, rather than as a geopolitical designation of regions (Cooper et al, 2021). We also recognize that colonized peoples live in both the global south and north. Given that coloniality is a condition that affects people’s dispossession and lack of resources, those who are colonized comprise the majority of the world’s population. As such, we encourage scholars who are part of the global majority—those living in the global south, as well as those who live in the global north and who are still colonized (people of color, indigenous scholars, etc..) – to submit papers drawing from and building on theoretical frameworks derived their structural positionalities.

Exploding Galaxies press republishes lost classics of Philippine literature. In doing so, however, we realized that it is one thing to republish a novel, but quite another to revive it. Just because a work is reissued, doesn't mean that it gains new life.

We both commission writing—approaching the freshest, most interesting thinkers and writers— and consider submissions addressed to me, our Editor. It is in this vein that we ask if you may have anything lying around that you may wish to contribute to our journal, something that has not yet found a home. We aim to make it as easy as possible for the best writers to work with us, so we do not have any expectation of receiving completely new work, unless of course that may be something you wish to pursue with us. We'd be happy to explore your off-cuts, excised tangents, old drafts, extraneous miscellany, sketches, archival finds, field notes, and experiments, or anything else that you may be open to giving us.
