Our contemporary view of the world is changing rapidly, due to drastic shifts in power relations, discourses, and the role of technology and communication in everyday life. Given the current state of global affairs – revolutions in the Arab world, the rise of populism and neoliberalism in Western Europe, the shift of global power from Europe and North-America to Asia and Latin America, and the primacy of mass communication methods, to name just a few important recent developments – the future has become increasingly precarious. To face forward is not that simple anymore. How are we able to look at the future when the present is so uncertain and unstable? And if we do fix our gaze on the horizon, what and how do we see – is it utopia or dystopia, a purely speculative view or a mere extrapolation of current events? Ultimately, can the future be a productive model for visualizing contemporary power structures, global shifts, and changing relations?
