Venue: NOVA FCSH (NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities)
Colégio Almada Negreiros (CAN), Lisbon, Portugal
As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the publication of Aldous 
Huxley’s Brave New World, it
becomes inevitable to reflect on its impact in the context of American 
imaginaries. Thinking about
what is going on in the world, including wars, pandemics, and climate 
change, the (Brave) New
Worlds Symposium aims to bring together an intersection of plural 
perspectives and representations
of the worlds and spaces we are creating across multiple areas of 
literary and cultural studies.

We invite proposals responding to, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Mapping identities (age/race/gender)
• New worlds in speculative fiction
• (Auto)mobility spaces
• Migration and new worlds
• Mapping space through visual and digital culture
• Embodiment and ethics of reproduction
• Representations of space in climate fiction
• Representations of space and climate change
• Redefining space in the post-pandemic period
• Finding new spaces/worlds in the context of war
• Spaces of industrialization and technology
• Technological spaces and landscapes
• The worlds of virtual reality
• Subaltern identities and politics of difference
• Representations of wastelands
The organizers will welcome proposals for 15-20-minute papers in English 
or Portuguese. We also
encourage early career PhD/Masters researchers to participate.
