In stratigraphy, "Subatlantic'' refers to the climatic age the end of which we are currently living through. The SubAtlantic series challenges us to cross-map climate history and environmental crisis with the world-ecological chronotope of the Iberian South Atlantic. While colonial expansion triggered monocrop plantations, extractive networks, genocide and enslavement, this world-ecological formation has also been a hotbed of resilient imaginaries of survivance and alliance-making among existents, from Caribbean Maroon ecologies to the multinaturalist ontologies of Amazonian and Andean societies as well as their reconfigurations in contemporary activisms and artistic practice. Spanning the field in its geographical and historical breadth, as well as challenging polarized cartographies between North/South or center/periphery, we welcome submissions in the environmental humanities that are conversant with areas of innovation and expansion, including but not limited to animal, plant and fungal studies; energy humanities; hydroaesthetics; art-science activisms; transfeminist and queer ecocriticims.
