[Xmca-l] Re: Question on Imagination

[Laure Kloetzer]

Hi Shannon and all,

I am also very interested if you can share all feedbacks you get on this
topic, Shannon.
Recently, we began organizing science fiction workshops with students to
"extricate the future" - betting that imagination, exploring alternative
possible worlds, is a necessary path to free the future from its
ready-made, unavoidable clothes massively sold by multinationals and
goverments. On going work, with quite interesting insights, esp. on how
difficult it is to link imagination and political change.
Also here in Neuchâtel, one of Tania Zittoun's doctoral student is working
on close topics (imagination and political utopia).
Finally, I think that Manolis Dafermos, or some of his colleagues and
friends, made a movie with young people in Greece on overcoming the crisis,
but I can not find it now, sorry...
Best regards,
LK
