Abstract

Most migration futures studies focus on reacting to migration issues such as flows and crises rather than exploring alternative images of futures centered on individual’s migration experiences. Addressing the limitations of existing practices criticized for their short-term, problem-oriented, and predominantly western, male-dominated, and colonized perspectives, this article presents intercultural participatory futures workshops as a novel technique for exploring more inclusive and intercultural migration futures. This approach enabled participants to collaboratively envision, build, and discuss alternative futures of migration for Istanbul in 2050 in eight workshop sessions with 35 intercultural participants. Additionally, it fostered a space to share experiences, and thoughts on futures, while meaningfully interacting with one another. Therefore, the contribution of this article to the migration futures field is two-fold: first, it showcases the potential of intercultural participatory futures workshops for exploring and constructing inclusive and participatory visions of migration futures, while contrasting collective visions and individual concerns; and second, it explains the relevance of this approach as a unique opportunity to foster intercultural meaningful social interactions, a key kind of interaction for social inclusion between individuals with migration backgrounds and host society.

通过跨文化参与式未来研讨会，探索一个超级多元化城市移民未来的跨文化视角：伊斯坦布尔案例

大多数未来移民研究都侧重于对移民潮和移民危机等移民问题做出反应，而不是以个人的移民经历为中心探索其他的未来形象。现有的研究方法因其短期性、以问题为导向、以西方、男性主导和殖民化视角为主而备受批评，本文针对这些局限性，介绍了跨文化参与式未来研讨会，作为一种探索更具包容性和跨文化移民未来的新技术。在八次研讨会上，35 位跨文化参与者通过这种方法共同设想、构建和讨论了 2050 年伊斯坦布尔的其他移民未来。此外，这种方法还为与会者提供了一个分享经验和对未来的思考的空间，同时也促进了彼此之间有意义的互动。因此，本文对未来移民领域的贡献是双重的：首先，它展示了跨文化参与式未来研讨会在探索和构建包容性和参与性未来移民愿景方面的潜力，同时将集体愿景与个人关切进行对比；其次，它解释了这种方法的相关性，它是促进跨文化有意义的社会互动的独特机会，而这是具有移民背景的个人与东道国社会之间实现社会包容的一种关键互动。
