Works-In-Progress: Hannah Burdette, "Speculative Uncommons: Worldbuilding Stories across Abiayala (the Americas)" Friday, February 7th, 12:00 PM, Humanities Center, PAC 113 This talk will provide an overview of my current book project, which considers how and why authors from different backgrounds throughout Abiayala (the Americas) draw on Indigenous stories to imagine worlds otherwise. Through the lens of what I call speculative uncommons, my analysis emphasizes connections and tensions among works by Native and settler authors across the continent. I argue that Indigenous futurisms productively question the inevitability of history and pose the possibility to engage in reciprocal, decolonial modes of worldbuilding based on embodied stories of survivance and more-than-human relations.
