A Conversation about Futurity, Critique, and Political Imagination
his discussion is a dialogue about changes in how we, and others, have approached China and futurity. It has two movements: 1) A Conversation about Futures Past, and 2) Five Propositions on the Future Perfect.

These disparate assemblages reimagine the space of television and the medium's role as a form of social communication. The…
