Publisher Description:
Futures and Fictions is a book of essays and conversations that explore possibilities for a different 'political imaginary' or, more simply, the imagining and imaging of alternate narratives and image-worlds that might be pitched against the impasses of our neoliberal present.

In particular, the book contributes to prescient discussions around decolonization, post-capitalism and new kinds of social movements - exploring the intersections of these with contemporary art practice and visual culture. Contributions range from work on science, sonic and financial fictions and alternative space-time plots to myths and images generated by marginalized and 'minor' communities, queer-feminist strategies of fictioning, and the production of new Afro- and other futurisms.

Contributors to thsi volume include Ursula K. Le Guin, Theo Reeves-Evisson, Bridget Crone, Kodwo Eshun, Louis Moreno, Laboria Cuboniks, Luciana Parisi, Stefan Helmreich, Mark Fisher, Judy Thorne, Annett Busch, Harold Offeh, Robin Mackay, Elvira Dyangani Ose, Kemang Wa Lehulere, and Oreet Ashery.
