Abstract

We end 2025 and begin 2026 amidst crisis and loss. Our theme for this volume, “Disconnect,” was chosen in early 2025, but feels increasingly prescient. Arts organisations are being robbed of funding. Universities are cutting subjects and contact hours, replacing face-to-face interaction with YouTube lectures and optional Zoom tutorials. Corporations and institutions are buying into generative AI hype. Our algorithms are increasingly siloing us from dissenting opinions. And in Palestine, a horrific genocide continues, mediated by a mainstream media that insists any criticism of Israel’s wholesale slaughter equates to anti-Semitism.
