“…These have the potential to further influence the theoretical and epistemological frameworks of futures studies, but as of right now, their role and distribution are not very influential. These are grouped around the following ideas: cosmodernism [93], postformal thinking [43], altermodernism [106], automodernity [113], hypermodernism [76], and practice theory [20]. They are by no means exhaustive.…”

In honor of its 50th anniversary, the World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF) held its XXV World Conference in Paris. The conference provided a venue for reviewing earlier developments and reevaluating prospective directions in the futures field. Scientific-based futures studies has a long history, drawing from a variety of fields including sociology, policy sciences, philosophy of science, economic prognostics, and environmental sustainability. Futures studies became widely acknowledged as an academic discipline in the 1960s when it became evident in the global scientific community. The 1970s saw a focus on global challenges and discussions about preferred futures. The synthesis of futures studies emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, with critical and evolutionary approaches contributing to the advancement of theoretical foundations. The twenty-first century focuses on anticipation and futures literacy, the development of post-normal, metamodern, and integral approaches, and the attainment of foresight in common practice. Future research is expected to focus on various aspects, including artificial general intelligence (AGI), socio-technical transitions, singularity, sustainability, societal collapses, entrepreneurial innovation, energy futures, decolonization, negation and post-prefix notions, systemic foresight, applied foresight, and on-site foresight. Future research activities are expected to also include research objects, policy challenges, and problems that do not yet exist.

“…Среди ключевых понятий Морару рассматривает глобализацию, космополитизм, техническую коммуникацию, модернизм, постмодернизм, постколониализм и мультикультурализм. В рецензии на книгу отмечается, что космодернизм находится в месте слияния истории, языка и этики и, по большей части, является этической концепцией [Sussman, 2013].…”

Вопрос о том, какая социокультурная парадигма пришла на смену постмодерну, сегодня активно исследуется философами и культурологами. В силу того, что работы западных авторов на эту тему мало исследованы и не переведены на русский язык, российская гуманитарная мысль не обогащается новыми трактовками современного состояния культуры, оставаясь в неопределенном отношении к концу постмодерна. Цель исследования – обосновать факт окончания эпохи постмодерна и дополнить языки описания современной эпохи. В ходе работы был проведен анализ новейших концепций, которые описывают условный термин «постпостмодерн». В результате исследования было выявлено, что представленные концепции фокусируются на изменениях, которые произошли с современным обществом за последние 20 лет. Результаты исследования дополняют язык описания новой социокультурной парадигмы для всех, кто занимается исследованиями в области социальной философии, культурологии и социологии.

“…(McHale 1987, 10). As others have already pointed out (Konstantinou 2017;Moraru 2011), many twentyfirst-century narratives are concerned with problems and principles that differ from these set of questions. Today, ontological issues of "world-making and modes of being" (McHale 2015, 15) have lost their centrality in light of the emergence of "a significant wave of cultural production" characterized by sincerity (Kelly 2016, 198) or earnestness (Kirby 2009, 1).…”

“…typically, in fact, it "involves a reshuffling of existing features in the light of a new dominant function" (2005,457). Among the current "reshuffling" is, for example, the blurring of boundaries between fiction and nonfiction in light of an interest in sincerity, relationality, and intersubjectivity (see Moraru 2011;Kelly 2016;Schmitt and Kjerkegaard 2016;Alber and Bell 2019). Following this principle, in this book I approach digital epitextual material as an exemplary reshuffling of an existing feature-paratexts-in light of a changing dominant function.…”
