This issue of the NACLA Report is dedicated to Mexican social anthropologist and scholar of media and communications Rossana Reguillo.
The Summer 2026 issue of the NACLA Report explores artistic and research practices that activate memory, engage the archive, and expand the possibilities of collective life amid ongoing forms of dispossession, militarization, and war. From Puerto Rico and Palestine to Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and the diaspora, contributors examine how artists, writers, performers, and organizers are creating new ways of inhabiting history, preserving memory, and imagining futures that exceed the limits imposed by colonialism, racial capitalism, and state violence.
Guest edited by Ángeles Donoso Macaya and Laura Juliana Torres Rodríguez, the issue turns to what the editors call “desiring temporalities”: creative methodologies oriented by desire that refuse to be defined solely by catastrophe or loss. Through essays, interviews, experimental poetry, photography, music, and performance, contributors examine how memory is made in the present and how artistic and collective practices can forge spaces of resistance and worldmaking. Taken together, these contributions illuminate how play, desire, and collective creation can sustain projects of care, dignity, and liberation in a time of permanent war.
