Latinx Fandoms

Editor: Frederick Luis Aldama

Despite the recent boom in fan studies scholarship—a field that has traditionally provided space for those deemed academically undisciplined—significant gaps remain in our understanding of the cultural impact of Latinx fan communities and scenes. With Latinx Fandoms I hope to address this by bringing together the work of extraordinary scholars to highlight Latinx practices, knowledges, and cultural innovations as fans, fandoms, and collective shapers of scenes.

The history of the Black Atlantic is rife with narratives of leaving and returns that can prove destabilizing factors, regarding identity and culture. Yet, it is in these stories, that a more complete image of the complexities of the lives of the people who traverse(d) the Black Atlantic becomes clearer. The literature of the men and women whose texts engage the 500-year history of the Black Atlantic narrative work to form a more nuanced image of Black life in the US, Caribbean, and Europe. In doing so, many of these works demonstrate the influence of African culture on members of the Diaspora through the inclusion of African spirituality in the texts.

New Perspectives on Creature Features

Edited by

Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns (Universidad de Buenos Aires)

The workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and domain experts to exchange knowledge, address challenges, and outline future directions for developing explainable, interpretable, and transparent AI systems. It focuses on advancing Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) by incorporating knowledge and semantics as core components. Contributions will address “demystifying the black-box” nature of AI and tailoring explanations to diverse user expertise levels, supporting equitable and fair decision-making for long-term sustainability. The workshop seeks to overcome the challenges of embedding semantic abstractions into intelligent information systems.
