• W2078688003 abstract "Futures studies can be understood in a variety of ways. For many, it is a new field, taught via the rules of the Academy, formally at many universities as well as in short courses for cities and corporations. For others, ‘field of knowledge’ is too strong a term; rather, it is a discourse, a way of seeing theworld, focused particularly on time. Still others see it less as an area of inquiry and more as an arena of action. Futures studies, for them, is one of the many social movements seeking to reduce the power of the prince and merchant, and move it to the citizen. These actors seek to change the world, generally, via the sustainability discourse. For them the current business-as-usual future is the problem, new alternatives are urgently required. Within this social movement perspective, most are integrated in their approach, focused on inner and outer change, self and collective. There is also a new group of professional futures studies practitioners, focused on scenario planning, visioning and strategy. While these discourse are all true, forme futures studies has beenmore of a family. Twomembers of this family have been theWorld Futures Studies Federation and the journal Futures. The first over time has for me lost its relevance. In my view, it has not been able to deal with the issues of equity in a globalizedworld, nor has it led themany new futures organizations in our digitalized world. The transition from East–West and North–South organization to true global organization did not occur. But the failure of the WFSF should not be seen as negative; rather, its failure has allowed hundreds of new organizations to prosper. Indeed, I would not even say failure, but natural sunset. In contrast, the journal Futures hasmade the transition. It is the site for themain debates on the future and on the futures. Whether focused on the new European social bill (because of Ageing) or on new futures of South Asia or attempts to hegemonize futures (as with Integral futures), Futures is the place where these debates are held. And, it is not a small ship, plying the backwaters and carrying only the debates between futurists. Rather, it has included aspects of long term planning, ethical debates in normal and postnormal sciences, and futures generating thinking, to mention a few. And it has prospered as new journals such as the delightful Foresight (focused on practitioners and organizations) and the Journal of Futures Studies (focused specifically on futures studies) have grown. There has been space for all. Editors over the past 30 years have kept Futures on its toes—from David Green to Colin Blackman, Clare Degenhardt (and back to Colin Blackman) to Zia Sardar; all have kept futures marching onward. Of course, improvements are possible. A wiki futures site linked to the journal would be great. Having a digital space for comments for each article would also be useful. Links to new futures bookswould be great as well. But, alas, its beauty is that it is an SSCI journal, and of course, that is its tragedy: Elsevier does make it expensive and difficult for many to purchase. Its referencing style is incomprehensible, the cause of much woe throughout the futures community. And the time from submission to publication needs to dramatically decrease for Futures to keep pace with a 24/7 world. Still, for me it remains the shiny heterotopia. It has not lost its relevance, rather it has transformed with the times. Whether it canmake the next jump to a digital (with avatars, video, and in the future, even holograms) wiki journal remains to be seen. But in a world of multiple ‘topias’, I believe Futures will be fine, in that even as the knowledge evolutionary landscape changes, Futures has a niche." @default.
