Recenzii
’This is a valuable book for researchers concerned with future trends as well as present realities.’ Medical Sociology News ’Contested Futures is an edited collection which addresses issues of paramount concern to sociologists, scientists, politicians and everyone who now understands that current technological trajectories, particularly in modern biotechnology, are catapulting us into unknowable futures...The collection...has the potential to make a valuable contribution to all those who now see themselves as having a role in shaping what counts as techno-scientific innovation.’ New Genetics and Society
Descriere
Examining the relationship between social action and the future, this book interrogates the metaphors and practices through which the future is mobilized as an object of present day action and agency. It shifts the analytical gaze from 'looking into' the future to 'looking at' the future as a sociological phenomenon.
