Campisi’s work focuses on how Latin American writers address neoliberal apocalypses, ecological disasters, and speculative genres like ecohorror, the new weird, and geological horror. He analyzes the role of literature in confronting the invisible violence of climate change and historical traumas.

His 15 most recent publications reflect themes such as resource extraction, planetary aesthetics, and the cultural aftermaths of dictatorship and slavery. These include analyses of ecohorror novels, documentaries on mining, and Anthropocene literature.
