The concept of the future, its prognostications and applications increasingly shapes present social worlds. From government policy to architectural design, from preemptive everyday practices interventionist counter-cultural projects, imaginations future take concrete form enjoy a powerful purpose. In this intervention we ask: How is invented, planned, renounced researched? Specifically, how do ...

Abstract This contribution discusses the current surge of Mars colonization narratives both in science and culture, ways these are received circulated ecocritical debates on a multiplanetary future humanity. analysis this takes its cue from representation California wildfires 2020 as an anthropogenic spectacle that is foreboding post-apocalyptic which Earth becomes Mars-like, how discourse repr...

Abstract This article examines ecological practices at the Palestine Museum of Natural History in Bethlehem, West Bank. Through an analysis museum's botanical gardens, explores what it calls ‘biodiverse futures’ as a spatio‐temporal alternative to domination settler colonialism Israel/Palestine. While much scholarship has focused on environmental imaginaries that have informed colonial conquest...

When I began writing How We Became Posthuman (1999), I was drawn to the topic in part because of the intense ambivalence I felt toward the idea of the posthuman. I thought, no doubt naively, that writing would help me resolve it. Far from overcoming mixed feelings, the writing intensified my emotions by bringing the issues into sharper focus. As David Gary Shaw rightly observes, the book is dre...

In this paper, I argue that animal domestication, speciesism, and other modern human-animal interactions in North America are possible because of and through the erasure of Indigenous bodies and the emptying of Indigenous lands for settler-colonial expansion. That is, we cannot address animal oppression or talk about animal liberation without naming and subsequently dismantling settler colonial...

Green information technologies (IT) adoption is a plausible attempt for organizations to tackle the current environmental problem. Moreover, it can also be regarded as a means to improve organizational image and economic performance. Efforts have been devoted to investigate the factors leading to organizational Green IT adoption. However, despite of the important role organizational decision ma...

We intensively investigate the physical principles regulating the tunneling magneto-resistance (TMR) and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of the CoFeB/MgO magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) by means of angle-resolved x-ray magnetic spectroscopy. The angle-resolved capability was easily achieved, and it provided greater sensitivity to symmetry-related d-band occupation compared to traditional...

The recent interest in Big Data has generated a broad range of new academic, corporate, and policy practices along with an evolving debate amongst its proponents, detractors, and skeptics. While the practices draw on a common set of tools, techniques, and technologies, most contributions to the debate come either from a particular disciplinary perspective or with an eye on a domain-specific iss...

There is an urgency to address societal challenges due earth's environmental crisis and its capacity sustain human well-being. In this context, ‘transformations towards sustainability’ move centre-stage are increasingly institutionalised within global scientific policy discourses. Sustainability transformations involve reorientation restructuring of governance processes actions. Though the tran...
