Comparable and related approaches

This article is part of my Master’s Thesis - Future Imaginaries. Previous Chapter: 2.2 Imaginaries

Future Imaginaries is not an entirely new neologism. Various scholars have dealt with the future aspects of imaginaries or identified them in their research. Still, others have developed their definition of imaginaries for their discipline, similar to what this thesis attempts to do for critical futures studies.

This chapter describes a selection of these approaches and what can be learned from them to approximate Future Imaginaries.
