Overview Overview
 

'Future Imaginations: The Anthropology of the Future and Perceptions of Time'

Anthropology has typically been a discipline focused on the past, but throughout its history there have been those who have looked forward in time. In this module, students will learn about how people think about the future and how this impacts the present. We will also explore multiple visions of the future and how each of these are informed by both the past and the present. Themes including science-fiction, dystopic and utopic thinking, and the perception of time will be part of the discussion within this module. Using a number of anthropological texts, students will critically engage with the themes of the module to gain a better understanding of how we as humans think about the future and our place in it.
