Series:

Futures: New Perspectives for Cultural Analysis

Pages:

308

Description:

This collection offers radical reformulations of cultural theory in response to political, economic and technological change. In particular it focuses on the intellectual project of speculating on the future.

Synopsis:

There are now new experiences of space and time; new tensions between globalism and regionalism, socialism and consumerism, reality and spectacle; new instabilities of value, meaning and identity - a dialectic between past and future. How are we to understand these? Mapping the Futures is the first of a series which brings together cultural theorists from different disciplines to assess the implications of economic, political and social change for intellectual inquiry and cultural practice.
