SUMMARY:Prof. Maarten Hajer & Dr. Jeroen Oomen: Captured Futures: Power and (Environmental) Politics in a Radical Age
DESCRIPTION:The era of normal politics is over. A radical political age is remaking cultural ideas about and aspirations for the futures people deem to be desirable. At the core, the radical age is remaking – at a rapid pace – what we consider to be ’normal’, politically, socially, ethically. Globally as well as regionally, political reality is being reimagined. Drawing on the analysis of our book Captured Futures: Rethinking the Drama of Environmental Politics – in which we critiqued environmental politics’ inability to imagine futures meaningfully different from the present – this talk zooms in on the politics of the future.\nOur societies are organised around the promise that the future will be – at least materially – better than the present. Yet rapid deterioration of planetary systems as well as geopolitical tensions foretell of a future in which such ‘progress' can no longer be taken to be self-evident. This fracturing has deep ramifications. With the future – what it holds, what is possible, and whose voice gets to matter – an increasingly prominent political battleground. Who has the power to hijack and capture our ideas about the future? What is the relationship between futuring practices and democracy? And how can we conduct a politics of the futuring ourselves?
