Futurs de l'écriture

This issue is an attempt 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 because of their vitality as writers: activist movements, artistic writing and the world of writing professionals (researchers, graphic designers).
