Abstract
In a world increasingly haunted by the echoes of unfulfilled promises and unattained futures, the concept of neohauntology emerges as a critical framework to explore these spectral wounds. This conference will present a transdisciplinary research-creation model rooted in neohauntology, intertwining artistic practice and academic inquiry to examine the voids left by failed utopias and the temporal dislocations they produce. Drawing inspiration from Mark Fisher’s hauntological critique and China Miéville’s speculative fiction, this approach transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, generating new forms of knowledge that challenge the linearity of time and the coherence of modern narratives. Through innovative methodologies, including fragmented artistic expressions, urban and digital interventions, and participatory research, this model seeks to reveal the hidden specters that shape our contemporary experience. By critically engaging with the residues of the past and the echoes of unrealized futures, the conference will explore how these spectral spaces can be transformed into sites of creative and intellectual resistance. This session invites scholars, artists, and practitioners to reimagine the role of the university as a space of critical reflection and transformative action, where the voids of what might have been become fertile ground for new possibilities.
