[Commlist] CfP: TANC: The Apocalypse is Not Coming

Call | The Apocalypse is Not Coming (TANC)
Transdisciplinary Conference | 12–15 May 2026 | Universitat Autònoma de 
Barcelona
========================================
We are pleased to announce the call for panels and the call for 
workshops for The Apocalypse is Not Coming (TANC), a transdisciplinary 
conference that explores apocalyptic imaginaries and regenerative 
responses across cultural, spiritual, political, ecological, scientific, 
and technological fields. We invite proposals that critically and 
creatively engage with the complexity of the apocalypse, embracing both 
destructive and transformative energies of crisis. More broadly, we 
welcome contributions that challenge deterministic narratives and offer 
new frameworks for understanding and action. Proposals may be rooted in 
one discipline or designed as interdisciplinary encounters. All 
information about the conference is available at:
