World Futures Review Volume?16,?Issue?3 A Movement Matured: Results of a Co-citation Analysis, and Some Reflections on the Relations Between Social Structure and Ideas in Futures Studies Abstract Scholars and practitioners have long criticized the inherent dominance of Western ideas in futures studies and claimed the need for a de-centering or decolonizing of the field. As a process of transforming science, de-centering occurs on at least two levels: at the level of thought and at the level of social structure. Sociologists of science, Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars, and others have conducted research for many years on the interlinkages between social structures and knowledge structures and have developed several concepts to do so.?https://lnkd.in/eXfBU8pg Journal of Futures Studies #Futures john a. sweeney Jeanne Hoffman

A Movement Matured: Results of a Co-citation Analysis, and Some Reflections on the Relations Between Social Structure and Ideas in Futures Studies Abstract "Scholars and practitioners have long criticized the inherent dominance of Western ideas in futures studies and claimed the need for a de-centering or decolonizing of the field. As a process of transforming science, de-centering occurs on at least two levels: at the level of thought and at the level of social structure. Sociologists of science, Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars, and others have conducted research for many years on the interlinkages between social structures and knowledge structures and have developed several concepts to do so. In this article, I discuss some of these concepts and combine these theoretical conceptualizations with a co-citation analysis of recent publications in the futures studies. Based on a sample of futures studies publications that have appeared in the last ten years (n = 500) retrieved from the Web of ScienceTM?database, a strongly inter-related network with four clusters can be identified..." https://lnkd.in/eXfBU8pg

Call for Papers: Environmental Futures – Advancing Mutual Human-Nature Relationship — World Futures Review Special Issue World Futures Review: A Journal of Strategic Foresight https://lnkd.in/egMz_vVD Environmental futures describe how we envision the state of so-called nature and our human relationship with it in the future, including how “nature” or “natural” might be produced differently, and via what imaginaries. Their forms of expression may encompass, but not be limited to: data and GIS-based modelling (climate forecasts, ecosystem scenarios: see Alcamo, 2008); design-based futures (speculative design, design fiction); narrative/story-based approaches (climate fiction, solar punk); art-based approaches (speculative artifacts, soundscapes and sonic experimentation, performative futures); mixed-method, mixed-media approaches (games and world-building, sensory and immersive approaches). Prominent project examples enclose the IPCC Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, the IPBES Nature Futures Framework, SUPERFLUX, Burton Nitta, The Institute for Postnatural Studies, or the Seeds of Good Anthropocenes initiative.
