  This chapter presents an analytical framework for studying and enacting Anthropocene imaginaries. The future is, and continually becomes, a thing – both semiotically and materially. In the context of contemporary discussions on the Anthropocene, future thinking and imaginaries have emerged as essential tools for rethinking the sites, objects, terms and methods of cultural history. Recognizing the future as a dynamic and contested thing, the chapter emphasizes the importance of embracing the plurality of Anthropocenes to account for diverse cultural, geographical and historical perspectives, tracing the processes through which Anthropocene futures are materialized as technoscientific objects, popular cultural objects, and as curated historical objects, while remaining attentive to reductivist tendencies such as Eurocentric biases or singular temporal and spatial scales. The analytical framework we devise in this chapter can serve as a tool for both recognizing and deconstructing the future objects circulating in the cultural sites of futures thinking.

  Because SF is a thought experiment and engages in worldbuilding, this paper is a hybrid faction piece that presents a history of ants in SF (across texts and media) as one connected narrative, while working through this history as an insertion into Nature-Culture debates through the production of new SF. In constructing SF worlds, writers work with what is called the genre mega-text: [1] the tropes and themes that constitute the identity of the genre. For SF however, this mega-text also involves a cluster of associations from other forms and kinds of texts, including scientific speculation, anthropological theory, STS, among others. The main storyline is based on several fiction and film pieces that structure the enquiry, from early works by H. G. Wells and Premendra Mitra, to Big Bug films, to new SF from the 21st century. The stories can be read as standalone pieces, yet we hope that the reader will read the endnotes, picking up the references which provide a glimpse into our strategies of worlding. The speakers in the endnotes are two time-travelling scholars writing from an unspecified far future, at a time when other beings rule the planet. They are using references from STS scholarship and SF that are more familiar, from our own time, in order to speak to us, even if the necessity to traverse multiple temporalities through simple language to express the Ant Network Theory (ANT) on occasion produces spatiotemporal anomalies.

  The first English translation of a cult science fiction favorite by Hemendra Kumar Roy, one of the giants of early Bangla literature, and other sf stories from the colonial period in India. Edited, introduced, and annotated by Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay. Kalpavigyan—science fiction written to excite Bengali speakers about science, as well as to persuade them to evolve beyond the limitations of religion, caste, and class—became popular in the early years of the twentieth century. Translated into English for the first time, in this collection you'll discover The Inhumans (1935), Hemendrakumar Roy's satirical novella about a lost race of Bengali supermen in Uganda. Also included are Jagadananda Ray's “Voyage to Venus” (1895), Nanigopal Majumdar's “The Mystery of the Giant” (1931), and Manoranjan Bhattacharya's “The Martian Purana” (1931).

  This blog is a largely freeform exploration by Filip Maric* (PhD) and Bodhisattva Chattopadhyay** (PhD). It does not present fully researched insights but, rather, tentative speculation at the intersections of (some) philosophy, extreme environments, science fiction, and a related research agenda.

• Al-Kury, Dalia; Mik-Meyer, Lotte; Andresen, Arild; Yaqubi, Mohanad; Schupp, Janina & Chattopadhyay, Bodhisattva (2024). Imagining Liberation. doi: https:/www.researchcatalogue.net/view/2194175/2729160. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  Imagining Liberation is an artistic research project with the aim of investigating methods in speculative nonfiction. This project begins with a question: What kind of cinematic images can arise from imagining a liberated Palestine? Dalia AlKury’s interest in staging simulated pasts in her earlier documentaries and then staging speculations of futures during her PhD research stems from a deep frustration with the lack of art imagining a world that she hopes is possible. Both practices—staging in documentary and speculative fiction—are rooted in posing the question “What if?,” to offer another possible world or narrative. Her work combines these approaches in the realization of her own method in speculative multitemporal nonfiction. Dalia AlKury approaches documentary filmmaking not as a way of documenting reality, but as a way of constructing an alternative one. Her final artistic results are informed by a long legacy of politically poetic Palestinian aesthetics and by grievances over the historical and present day witnessing of the violent ethnic cleansing of her people. By committing to framing her vignettes in a fictional liberated Palestine, an emancipatory art making process starts to take shape. The process excavates an often-oppressed critical rage and pushes it up to the surface through different narrative tools. Imagining Liberation traces the filmmaker's confrontational journey while experimenting with staging, subverting, futuring, abstracting, and decolonizing to reach a type of catharsis in the face of a continuously fragmented diasporic existence. By staging her own return to a liberated Palestine in different modes from writing to filming, Dalia AlKury runs into ethical dilemmas questioning her self-censorship, representation of “others” and the elusive role of cinematic catharsis. This book encompasses her critical reflection on the short films , narrative experiments and video diaries created throughout her research. The three main audio-visual works that will be shared and analyzed are Congratulations on Your Return, Levitations, and What if a Tree, What if a Crow?
