Don't send us a cake, and then let us drown again’
We present a critical analysis of news coverage during the one‐year anniversary of Cyclone Gabrielle in Aotearoa New Zealand. This disaster raised important questions surrounding emergency preparedness, infrastructural vulnerability, climate change, adaptation, future land‐use policies and managed retreat. In the immediate aftermath, Cyclone Gabrielle was repeatedly framed as a ‘wake‐up call’ demanding serious attention be given to the increasing…
Disastrous futures? Confronting the scale, urgency and complexity of our crises
The severity of a disaster is a function of social arrangements. Social science scholars identify concentrations of population and wealth as the two great drivers of disaster risk. Aotearoa New Zealand is one of the most urbanised (Department of Internal Affairs Citation2021), unequal (Rashbrooke Citation2021) and, consequently, disaster-prone countries in the world (Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery Citation2021). London-based …
Digital
In the early twenty‐first century, digital technologies became increasingly pervasive but also infrastructural. Now deeply embedded in the workings of contemporary society, they are implicated in various social transformations, from micro to macro levels. This entry highlights five layers of digital transformation. First, it considers technologies of selfhood reshaping norms of self‐expression and identity formation and disrupting the spatiotempo…
Life, but not as we know it
Advances in artificial intelligence (A.I.) are prompting a growing chorus of both excitement and anxiety. A.I. is widely perceived as a significant emerging and future-shaping technological field that is developing at an accelerating rate. As such, futuristic imagery involving A.I. is increasingly prevalent in popular media. A central task for critical future studies is to assess both positive and problematic aspects of the futuristic scenarios o…
Critical Future Studies - A thematic Introduction
Our 2017 essay 'Beyond Capitalist Realism - Why We Need Critical Future Studies' (Goode & Godhe 2017), published in this journal, was intended as both a provocation and an invitation to scholars concerned with the ways in which cultural texts not only represent the future, but also actively shape it by opening up or closing down imaginative possibilities. The essays collected in this special section are both responses to our invitation and provoc…
Beyond Capitalist Realism - Why We Need Critical Future Studies
This paper introduces the interdisciplinary field of Critical Future Studies (CFS). CFS investigates the scope and constraints within public culture for imagining and debating different potential futures. It interrogates imagined futures founded - often surreptitiously - upon values and assumptions from the past and present, as well as those representing a departure from current social trajectories. CFS draws on perspectives from various discipli…
Anonymous and the Political Ethos of Hacktivism
This article examines the ethos of the hacktivist movement Anonymous. It considers the subcultural roots of Anonymous and the political and ethical values articulated by the movement. The article highlights key points of tension within the Anonymous ethos: nihilism and idealism, utopianism and dystopianism, individualism and collectivism, and negative and positive liberty. The article argues that while Anonymous can be broadly understood as cyber…
Conflict and seduction in the public sphere
In a critical but sympathetic reading of Habermas’s work (1984, 1987a, 1987b, 2003), Luke Goode (2005) recently sought to rework his theory of deliberative democracy in an age of mediated and increasingly digital public spheres. Taking a different approach, Alan McKee (2005) challenged the culture- and class-bound strictures of Habermasian rationalism, instead pursuing a more radically pluralist account of postmodern public spheres. The editors o…
Cultural citizenship online
This paper explores connections between cultural citizenship and Internet-based media. It argues that engaging with cultural citizenship assists in moving debates beyond misleadingly narrow conceptions of the digital divide. It suggests that cultural citizenship invokes questions of access, visibility and cultural recognition, as well as tensions between intra- and inter-cultural communication online. The paper calls for a reflexive and critical …
Social news, citizen journalism and democracy
This article aims to contribute to a critical research agenda for investigating the democratic implications of citizen journalism and social news. The article calls for a broad conception of 'citizen journalism' which is (1) not an exclusively online phenomenon, (2) not confined to explicitly 'alternative' news sources, and (3) includes 'metajournalism' as well as the practices of journalism itself. A case is made for seeing democratic implicatio…
Digital
To understand the significance of the term “digital,” we must place it alongside its “other” – the term “analogue.” The technical distinction between these terms is relatively straightforward. Each signifies a different method by which data are captured, transported, processed, distributed, and represented, that is, the means by which they are mediated . Whilst analogue media “encode” data using “traces” – such as light burnt on to chemical film …
