Preempting experiential city futures
In this article we introduce and demonstrate the urban pre-tour: a novel future oriented ethnographic method for engaging with the possibilities of everyday life in future cities. In doing so we contribute to a growing body of scholarship which seeks to contest dominant top-down urban futures narratives. We argue that to responsibly and ethically engage with city/urban futures it is vital that we account for the sensory, embodied and affective ex…
The digital mundane and the experiential production of public space
The role that our engagements with digital technology play in producing urban public space are often and easily taken for granted. Seeking to remedy this, there has been a groundswell of scholarship in digital geography that explores how various digital technologies are experienced as part of everyday life in public space. In this article I extend this scholarship by arguing that digital technology is not only an important experiential phenomenon…
Interdisciplinary futures? A conceptual approach
Cross-sectoral Futures
In this article we discuss how engaged futures anthropology might be mobilised in an anticipatory stance, to understand and be open to working with possible epistemic companions , with whom we may share a futures space, coincide, cross pathways and potentially collaborate. We discuss research undertaken with participants holding senior leadership positions across diverse sectors in order to consider how they know and understand possible futures a…
Contingent autonomy
In this article, we develop a framework for robotic autonomy as contingent. We do so with an account of a series of online research workshops that asked people to design and test robot behaviours for a public space scenario of their choice, as a means to surface and discuss their understandings of robots. We show how, as people manipulated robots in a simulator, they came to understand the capacities and limits of robots in distinctive ways. Thin…
The robotic production of spatiality
Robots are an increasing presence in our public spaces. Accordingly, in this paper, we make an argument for the importance of understanding how they produce spatiality by developing three robotic logics: predictability, partitioning, and connection. We show how the robotic bias towards orderly categories exists alongside processual accounts of spatiality, and how the forms of anticipatory knowability that robots require play out in the contingent…
