Anthropologies and Futures - Researching Emerging and Uncertain Worlds (Broché)

This game-changing new book presents new ways of conceptualizing how to engage with a future-oriented research agenda, demonstrating how anthropologists can approach futures both theoretically and practically, and introducing a set of innovative research methods to tackle this field of research. Anthropology and Futures brings together a group of leading scholars from across the world, including Sarah Pink, Rayna Rapp, Faye Ginsburg and Paul Stoller.
Firmly grounded in ethnographie fieldwork experience, the book's fifteen chapters traverse ethnographies of people living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda, disability activists in the US, young Muslim women in Copenhagen, refugees in Milan, future-makers in Barcelona, planning and land futures in the UK, the design of workspaces in Melbourne, rewilding in the French Pyrenees, and speculative ethnographies among emerging communities in Antarctica.
Taking a strong interdisciplinary approach, this is essential reading for students and researchers in anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, design and research methods.
