Nostàlgia de futur: travessant el col·lapse (Nostalgia for the Future: Traversing the Collapse)
Society is going through a historical phase in which narratives about the future and the imaginary tied to this idea have been hijacked, in which there is only room for scenarios of crisis and collapse. Against this future-less backdrop, technologies are playing a relevant role in amplifying people’s relationship with the world, with the other, with the complex systems that these inhabit. Understanding ourselves as communities that create technologies, and thus discourses of the future, means promoting a future that goes beyond crisis, in which resistance, life and knowledge are at stake.
