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.
