In this second panel event, members of the international research training group “Temporalities of Future” presented research on Latin American futures formulated in the past.
The Temporalities of Future group writes: “Our focus on the aspirations and anticipations of various actors who produce new temporalities of the future through constant interaction represents a novel approach which adds a much-needed perspective on subaltern and non-Western agency with regard to the future.”
This echoes the 2084 Imagined Futures from the South program’s call to action: “the future belongs to those who imagine it… Let’s Occupy the Future!”
Panelists:
Stefan Rinke, Profesor and speaker, Temporalities of Future, Institute for Latin American Studies, Freie Universität Berlin
José Francisco Hernández Reyes, PhD candidate, History. Project: “From Ottoman Subjects to Eastern French: Temporary Culture and Sense of Belonging in the Arabophone Communities in Mexico, 1908-1938”
Lasse Hölck, Postdoctoral fellow, History. Project: “Change or Continuity? The Temporal Implications of Growth and the Avoidance of Growth in Culturally Heterogeneous Latin America”
Lorena López Jáuregui, PhD candidate, History. Project: “Americanism. Science, History and Geopolitics of a continent in 1910″
