- This paper introduces the interdisciplinary field of Critical Future Studies (CFS).CFS investigates the scope and constraints within public culture for imagining anddebating different potential futures. It interrogates imagined futures founded – oftensurreptitiously – upon values and assumptions from the past and present, aswell as those representing a departure from current social trajectories. CFS drawson perspectives from various disciplines including sociology, political studies,intellectual history, cultural history, media and cultural studies, utopian studies,science and technology studies, and philosophy. CFS also engages with discoursesand ideas from the natural sciences (including popular science), computing andeconomics. And, given our concern with public culture, CFS aims to contributeconstructively to vigorous and imaginative public debate about the future – a futuralpublic sphere – and to challenge a prevalent contemporary cynicism about ourcapacity to imagine alternative futures while trapped in a parlous present. To thatextent, we propose CFS as a programme of engaged and open-ended social critique,not as a solely academic endeavour. Our paper begins by describing the relationshipbetween CFS and mainstream Future Studies. Subsequently, we discussthe contemporary context for Critical Future Studies. Here we make the case thatCFS is a timely and even urgent project at our current historical juncture, arguingalso for the significance of both utopian and dystopian imaginings. We then go onto discuss methodologies within CFS scholarship. Finally, we conclude by reflectingon the values underpinning CFS. Overall, this paper not only describes CFSas a field of research but also serves as an invitation to cultural scholars to considerhow their own work might intersect with and contribute to CFS.
