What is a memory of the future? Is it a myth, a fiction of a severed
arm, a post-human debate or a broken time machine? In an increasingly
insecure future-world there is an urgency to consider and debate these
questions. Memories of the Future: On Countervision addresses these
concerns by speculating on the connections between memory and futurity
in fields such as counter-histories, women’s studies, science
fiction, art and design, technology, philosophy and politics. This
book reveals how these subjects regenerate at the intersections of
vision, counter-cultural production and the former present. The volume
links the re-imaginings of memory into the present with topics such as
the fever dream allegory of the adolescent social experience, soft
technologies of future dress, reinventions of monetary exchange,
rekindled subjectivities of school days, and technics and human
progression. These countervisions argue against the homogenizing
status quo of the present in order to challenge the customs,
traditions and conventions of the past and propositions of the future.
