 Expected publication date: January 2025 Affirmation? How to Learn to Live 
 with 'The Others' Through Design How do emergent creative practices 
 question creative disciplines and how do they occupy their positions of 
 authority? By asking these questions\, we propose to approach creative 
 practices not for their final products\, but as an exercise of constant 
 recomposition in the design of encounters between entities with very 
 heterogeneous lives\, interests\, risks\, scales\, and temporalities. 
 Endangered animals\, cultural management policies\, invasive plants\, 
 ancestral knowledges\, regulations on materials\, viruses yet to be 
 known\, human communities\, changing climates\, environments\, and publics
  that\, all together\, design a 'we' always embedded in the process of 
 becoming\, that affects the places where we work\, the studios where we 
 design\, the classrooms where we learn\, or the project itself as a unit 
 of production. Therefore\, we seek case studies and theoretical insights 
 into the founding capacities that are deployed in the process of becoming 
 that takes place within creative practices\, as well as the role of 
 materials and technologies in it. We want to imagine to what extent these 
 encounters constitute rehearsals of political forms of resistance\, in 
 broken times where creative practices are called to account as shapers of 
 worlds\; or in what sense these encounters propose a redefinition of 
 disciplinary limits and scopes. We are convinced that it is 'through' 
 these untimely encounters that we design the granting of variations of 
 importance to things&mdash\;maybe also some better futures to come. We 
 want to meet again in relational spaces that emerge from the crossings 
 between different fields of knowledge\, and test our joint capacities to 
 deal with these other matters that have become important to us. Thus\, we 
 will be interested in learning about the scope of transversal 
 methodologies that\, beyond promoting a certain 'indiscipline'\, aim to 
 recompose what we call collaborative research in the Humanities and 
 creative practices. We want to rehearse their ability to broaden our 
 political imagination. To this end\, we shall be inspired by all those 
 conceptualizations that question our places of authority in order to 
 imagine others: from Karen Barad&rsquo\;s 'intractions' to Marisol de la 
 Cadena&rsquo\;s 'being in Ayllu'\; through Isabelle Stengers&rsquo\; 
 'ecologies of practices'\; Vinciane Despret&rsquo\;s 'territorial 
 importance of beauty'\; Arturo Escobar&rsquo\;s 'design in autonomy'\; 
 Donna Haraway&rsquo\;s 'sympoietic practices'\; Silvia Rivera 
 Cusicanqui&rsquo\;s 'baroque economies'\; Tim Ingold&rsquo\;s 'creative 
 undergoing'\; Erin Manning&rsquo\;s 'minor gestures'\; Rosi 
 Braidotti&rsquo\;s 'affirmative practices'\; AbdouMaliq Simone&rsquo\;s 
 'screens'\; Mar&iacute\;a Galindo&rsquo\;s 'poor people's tricks'\; Walter
  Mignolo&rsquo\;s 'decoloniality of knowledge'\; or Linda Tuhiwai 
 Smith&rsquo\;s imperative to 'decolonize methodologies'. We will also be 
 delighted to learn about the scope of other conceptualizations that allow 
 us to improve our understanding of the overflowing of creative practices. 
 In the end\, we aspire to expand the ways for socializing research\, so we
  encourage the submission of variations in format that are capable of 
 broadening the places from which research is articulated (commissions\, 
 clients\, work hierarchies\, professional associations\, design 
 techniques\, collaborations\, relations with institutions...)\, as long as
  (1) they acknowledge the recompositions that take place 'through' design 
 practices that are able to be more attentive to our present times\; and 
 (2) share our desire of and excitement for taking a collective leap 
 towards affirmation. Submit your manuscript through

 English or Spanish will be accepted.
