We examine how the use of concepts in scholarship can be mobilised for this purpose, and we propose engaging interdisciplinary concepts in futures research. In doing so we draw on our ethnographic review of existing futures-focused academic literatures. Our research revealed an abundance of diverse futures theory, however it suggested greater possibility to create spaces for interdisciplinary convergence, debate and potential collaboration at the conceptual level. We propose a conceptual framework composed of three layers or categories: ontological framing concepts, epistemological encountering concepts and phenomenological experiential concepts. We explore the relations within and between these layers of concepts to propose that our framework might be used in two ways: to generate collaboration focused on the concepts; and to track the possible consequences of alignments between concepts from different categories.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103648"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144564107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Games have been studied as a medium that can inspire new futures. But games are part of enormously popular wider media ecosystems where public reflections in the form of reviews, video essays, podcasts and more play a major role. These public reflections have not been examined in a futures context as a site for societal reflection on utopia. This paper combines theories on utopia as method, on resonance, and on orientation to action to create a framework for understanding the societal value of public reflections on games. Selecting four popular games with utopian elements, we coded a number of games reviews, podcasts and video essays about these games to surface common themes found in these public reflections. We find that engagements with the specifics of worldbuilding, of language and in-game community are connected with various resonances described in the public reflections, tied to a variety of affects. We go on to discuss how resonance can help understand how public reflections on games act as a site for societal orientation. Public reflections on games can orient further game design as well as orienting societal discourse and action.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103646"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144556733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The widespread dissemination of this concept without considering different viewpoints and limitations may undermine collective efforts to achieve it. For this purpose, we conducted 45 interviews with politicians, scientists, non-governmental organisations, representatives from economic groups, and citizens in the context of the H2020 European project \"PHOENIX\". The results demonstrate the diversity of perspectives on ecological transition and show that pro-ecological actions are heavily influenced by institutional, political, and financial frameworks rather than being solely personal preferences. The lack of support from institutions that serve as role models in this ecological transition undermined community attempts to achieve it, as well as the apparent contradiction between comfort and living a more frugal lifestyle. To successfully engage people in this transition, it is vital to push for legislation that prioritises environmental goals over corporate profit, promotes engagement with nature from a young age, and overcomes financial barriers by offering incentives and support for sustainable choices. We argue that in order to move beyond a technocratic approach and towards an inclusive and socio-politically engaging transition, future policies must recognise and overcome these structural constraints.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103645"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often (but not exclusively) found in an emerging network of ‘museums of the future’, the distinctive affordances of these mixed reality environments have yet to be fully grasped in terms of their implications for public participation in futures thinking and futures-making. Given the complex sociodigital features of these environments, the paper proposes a novel conceptual framework for interdisciplinary study. This draws on an integrative literature review of engineering, design education, humanities and psychology fields already engaging with the implications of immersive speculative environments. This review draws out the technological, textual, interventionist, political-economic and critical pedagogical questions these raise. It then puts this work into dialogue with the futures education literature and proposes critical lines of inquiry for Futures Studies. The paper argues that, as corporate and state actors increasingly play a significant role in the design and powerful immersive speculative environments, there is an important role for Futures Studies to critically examine the contribution (or otherwise) of these environments to the public imagination and making of futures. In particular, it argues that urgent attention is required to questions of authorship, affordances, audiences, agency and accumulation</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103643"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144330340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grounded in cultural sociology, the study examines how social actors organize their mobility in the face of\"necropolitical inhospitality\" (Mbembe 2003). The text investigates the mechanisms of self-organization and dynamics of solidarity that enable migrants' movements, while also questioning the visions of the future that shape and are shaped by bordering processes. The paper delves into the \"philosophies of history\" born from the desire and practice of crossing the border, exploring how temporalities are conceived, what past is ingrained, and how the idea of \"modernity as linear trajectory\" is challenged. Theborder is conceptualized as a privileged context for investigating contemporary \"horizons of expectation\", where the non-mobility of some is governed alongside the hyper-mobility of others. The paper aims to critically engage with the promise of development for all, the contradictions of modernity, and the ways in which Europe's reluctance to assert rights is manifested at the border. By focusing on the border as a specific scenario of future-making, the essay explores the actions of disobedience to immobility and their implications as acts of \"depresentification\".</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48239,"journal":{"name":"Futures","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103641"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144297570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
