A bold inquiry into media imaginaries and imaginaries-work as tools of 
decolonial resistance, worldmaking, and collective futurity. /Decolonial 
Media Imaginaries/ (DMI) begins from the basic premise that imaginaries 
play a crucial role in articulating and elaborating identity, community, 
and solidarity—particularly through their function in the collaborative 
shaping of ways of life and living. Historically, however, such 
imaginaries have been structured by the imperatives of colonialism, 
capitalism, and global neoliberal expansion. Through the prism of 
contemporary decolonial politics, the book aims to decentre enduring 
imaginaries rooted in colonial, capitalist, and neoliberal fantasies 
about what constitutes the good life, in favour of centring decolonial 
imaginaries that redraw the lines of possibility surrounding 
emancipatory futures for human and more-than-human worlds.

DMI presents a concise overview of the terrain prepared by decolonial 
thinkers to foreground the strategies, tools, tactics, and praxis that 
may be useful in bringing decolonial futures more closely within reach. 
This wide-ranging work explores ideas surrounding spectacle and display, 
corporatized technological fantasy, energy infrastructure, 
community-centred storytelling, pedagogical reparations, artworld 
decolonial praxis, and Black and Indigenous media futures. The book 
offers a speculative yet theoretically engaged discussion of how 
imaginaries-work contributes to a vital redrawing of shared futures 
grounded in justice, relationality, and collective flourishing.
