Digital Rhetoric and Borders: Human Mobility Between Mexico and the United States

Editors: Dr. Rubria Rocha de Luna, Dr. Paloma Vargas Montes and Dr. Maricruz Castro Ricalde

With the support of the Tecnólogico de Monterrey Research Dean's Office, we are pleased to invite proposals for chapters of previously unpublished and original work to be included in Digital Rhetoric and Borders: Human Mobility Between Mexico and the United States, to be published by a high impact Scopus publisher in 2024.

This panel aims to explore the role of futuristic bodies as spaces for addressing contemporary issues such as gender and race equity, climate change, and income inequality. Science fiction and speculative fiction confront us with the uncanny, asking us to question the boundaries between our reality and fictional-yet-possible futures. Centering the body, often porous and precarious, in these texts positions us to imagine the future of humanity, and encourages us to think critically about perspective shifts we must make today to enable a better tomorrow. As Michel Foucault (1980) states, “the body is given meaning and wholly constituted by discourse.

Literary theory has contributed towards the recovery of marginalised narratives and discourses in literature during the last three decades. The word, ‘minor’ has acquired a resonance of its own in the context of ‘national’ literature which tends to be part of a ‘great tradition’. Against such a background, the recovery of diverse indigenous traditions has become an important task of comparative studies of literature. Nations emerged as ‘imagined’ communities. However, nation-states were not ‘imagined’ in the crucible of prolonged struggles of anti-colonial resistance in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but were born of the political exigencies of imperial powers.
