Title: | Metaphors in futures research | Authors: | Inayatullah S. Izgarjan, Aleksandra Kuusi O. Minkkinen M. |
Issue Date: | 1-Nov-2016 | Journal: | Futures | Abstract: | © 2016 Elsevier Ltd This special issue, as might be expected in a networked world, searching for proof that collaboration can work, is edited by four of us. It began with a conversation in 2014 over bland conference food in Helsinki between Osmo Kuusi, Matti Minkkinen and Sohail Inayatullah about the need to highlight metaphors in futures research. We noted that while extensively used, they remain inadequately theorized and lacking mindfulness. Further conversations between Inayatullah and Aleksandra Izgarjan focused the issue. We introduce the special issue with short openings by each one of us, theorizing in a biographical context. These are followed by a summary of the articles, essays, and reports, written by Minkkinen. Our intent is not just to focus on metaphors in futures research, but as well to see futures research as narrative-based itself: as not just describing reality and possibility but creating new worlds, on opening up of shared pathways. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/3880 | ISSN: | 00163287 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.futures.2016.04.004 |
