Futurs de l'écriture

This issue attempts to respond to Arjun Appadurai's invitation to develop an ‘anthropology of the future’ that would account for the ‘construction of cultural futures’. We have therefore focused on writing practices that seem to us, for the most part, to fall within the three concerns that, according to him, shape the future: imagination, anticipation and aspiration. The aim of this issue is to highlight and discuss the new uses of writing in the major fields that we have chosen for their scriptural vitality: activist movements, artistic writing and the world of writing professionals (researchers, graphic designers).

Specialists in the transformations of writing itself, the struggles and current experiments in inclusive and/or non-binary writing led by typographers, historians of language and feminist activists have naturally taken the floor in this issue.
