What does the futures of monster theory hold? And what stories can we tell about its origins? These are questions we asked for our Monsters of the Anthropocene Halloween symposium \u2018Unruly Origins, Strange Futures\u2019<\/a> (2021), aiming to explore the pasts and futures of thinking with monsters through art, politics, storytelling and scholarship. We are delighted to bring two conversations from this event \u2013 here redesigned as podcasts for this years\u2019 Halloween!<\/p>\n

Strange Futures, Unruly Origins: Science Fiction <\/strong>explores the role of the monster in arts and storytelling practices, with a particular focus on how stories of monsters and the monstrous as a methodological perspective and a methodological tool may and also sometimes may not challenge our understanding of the past and open up to unexpected and potentially more promising futures. We ask what are perhaps the limits to the figure of the monster and what are the challenges when working with the monstrous in art and storytelling the idea of futures and the power of speculation. With Regina Kanyu Wang(PhD candidate in Co-Futures, University of Oslo, Norway and writer of speculative fiction), Marietta Radomska (associate prof., Link\u00f6pings University, Sweden), Susanne Winterling (Artist and Professor of fine arts), and Sami Ahmad Khan (Co-Futures, University of Oslo, Norway). Hosted by Line Henriksen from The Monster Network.<\/p>\n
