Current Issue
Vol. 22 No. 2 (2023): Decoloniality and Tropicality: Part Two
The papers collected together in this special issue on the theme ‘decoloniality and tropicality’ discuss and demonstrate how we can move towards disentangling ourselves from persistent colonial epistemologies and ontologies. Engaging theories of decoloniality and postcolonialism with tropicality, the articles explore the material poetics of a philosophical reverie; the 'tropical natureculture' imaginaries of sex tourism, ecotourism, and militourism; deep readings of an anthropophagic movement, ecocritical literature, and the ecoGothic; the spaces of a tropical flâneuse and of diasporic vernacular architecture; and historical analysis of colonial female education and film analysis for contemporary educational praxis.
