Join CIIS faculty Saraliza Anzaldúa and Zara Zimbardo for a time-traveling conversation about monsters, their roles, impacts, and compelling contradictions. Which monsters would you like to see accompany us into dystopian futures? What monsters arise that both embody and help grapple with catastrophe in the past and present? What are the key implications and processes of monsterization as a form of othering? What are we confronting that is truly monstrous?
Saraliza and Zara’s conversation is grounded in the foundations of contemporary monster theory and philosophical approaches to the horrific, the uncanny, and the impossible. Their conversation surfaces the many gifts that monsters provide: working through systemic anxiety, testing of moral imagination, dissolving the boundaries of the possible, giving shape to dispersed fear, and questioning what makes us human.
Monsters can be our allies, inviting creative engagement with our collective shadow sides. They turn the familiar into the unfamiliar and return to pose old questions in new structures.
Saraliza and Zara’s conversation stirs our imagination of monsters as warning and wonder, rebellion and power, and the far away and the very near.
