Engaging Futures

Methods, Materials, Media
Engaging Futures: Methods, Materials, Media, is a speculative, interdisciplinary multi-media project that draws on a series of methodological experiments concerning temporality, and futurity especially. The book sits at the intersection of three distinct but inter-related developments in the contemporary social sciences, arts and humanities: (i) a proliferation of interest in temporality, and especially presents and futures; (ii) the emergence of new materialist approaches to understand the entanglement of bodies and technologies; and (iii) a revived focus on methodology and method that attend to the process of research.
 
The book aims to:
  • develop a series of practice research case studies to explore how temporality is – and might be – encountered, experienced and engaged through a range of methods, materials and media;
  • examine the methodological opportunities and challenges that are produced through a focus on experimentation and process in the generation of data;
  • attend to the ways in which temporality, and especially the potential uncertainty of the future, may be engaged via different social and cultural practices, and different methods, materials and media.

It is currently in preparation, under contract with Goldsmiths Press in the Future Media series.
