This paper focuses on four examples of Zagreb urban gardening communities: their actors, their structures, and the aims of the established gardens. The article begins by introducing the practice and perception of the illegal ("wild") gardens that have existed in Zagreb on vacant and derelict plots for decades. A discussion of the changing contexts of urban gardening within the last few years follows. Further ethnographic examples of new, alternative, and hybrid gardens indicate the variety of organizational methods and actors involved, types of communality and solidarity, and the negotiation and debate regarding discursive, structural, and governance issues. The analysis aims to examine the heterogeneity of gardening communities in Zagreb and to illuminate the dynamics (changes and modifi cations) of various relationships that are constituent to the phenomenon. The article concludes by considering the politics of space, particularly the transformation of urban public spaces, and the potential of gardening initiatives in the sphere of contemporary urban governance strategies.
U ovome se članku bavimo budućnostima kao kulturnoantropološkim predmetom istraživanja i analitičkim pojmom predstavljajući studije objavljene u posljednjih pedesetak godina od onih koje se smještaju u domenu “kulturne futuristike” i anticipatorne antropologije do onih u kojima se istaknutije profilira antropologija budućnosti. Različite pristupe zahvaćamo komparativno i problemski (budućnost kao kulturna činjenica, multitemporalnost, temporalno djelovanje, metafizički prezentizam, mnogobrojne budućnosti i dr.) te obrazlažemo okvire istraživanja koje razvijamo unutar aktualnog istraživačkog projekta o urbanim budućnostima. Stvaranje budućnosti se u ovome projektu odnosi na sveobuhvatno razumijevanje čimbenika i procesa koji se povezuju u zamišljanju, anticipaciji i percepciji kolektivnih budućnosti kao i u modalitetima angažmana, vrijednosti, navika praksi i afekata, koji konstruiraju specifične odnose prema budućnostima u svakodnevnom životu.
