Volume 17, numéro 1, 2026 (Re)Imagining AI Interventions /// Intervening (into) AI Imaginaries Issue #1 Sous la direction de Mary Elizabeth Luka, Aline Zara et Caroline Klimek

In the first part of this double special issue, (Re)Imagining AI Interventions///Intervening (into) AI Imaginaries, authors help map and push boundaries around the ways we encounter, engage with, and consider the possibilities for AI. They rethink the world through the lenses of Indigenous sovereignty, Ubuntu Intelligence, and speculative methods in policy and practice, among other approaches. They also investigate and are embedded in visual culture through folklore, innovation, labour, archives, and the environment.
