本研究室・特任研究員の@aslisizさんが主導した 国際プロジェクト、FICT (Fragmentary Institute of Comparative Timelines) が日本に（再）上陸します。 架空の世界を構築することを通して、気候危機をもたらした過去と現在を批判的に問い直します。 peatix.com/event/3552479/…

What would literary culture look like if La Commedia was written in Siculo-Arabic? Aristei, Bobadilla, and McSweeney imagine explore literary-linguistic potentialities in a non-colonial timeline: fict.site/submission5

More gratitude: I (@aslisiz) first pitched the idea of FICT to @EmileStPierre2 and @FD_miranda at our weekly meeting, and they helped so much with the shaping of this project. Of course, @AtsmrtAtsuro has been the best in letting us go wild and supporting us throughout.

Two years ago, we wrote a letter asking people to come up with artifacts from timelines where the European Colonialism did not take place. It became a massive project for learning about Colonialism with many universities and individuals joining us. fict.site

Our website is designed by Hiroto Okuda @__tolero, the illustrations are by Emma Huffman @missemmabobema. 　@AtsmrtAtsuro and I (@aslisiz) would like to offer our gratitude to the long list of contributors which can be found here: fict.site/aboutus

Many thanks to all participants and contributors, but for this step we're particularly grateful to have our curators Yuka Takahashi @yuka__ism and Samuel Tettner; and the rest of the curatorial team: Harry Owen, Emma Klöcker-Gatzwiller, and Clarissa Reche.

Our exhibition for the 2020-2021 run will go online on September 12th. The old website will be completely revamped. Get excited.

Dear friends, a small reminder from organizers: fict.site The no-deadline and the no-obligation-to-submit policies remain but if you'd like to be featured in the exhibition, please entrust us your artefacts (or express your intent to do so) by September, please.
