Abstract
Memories of the future are individuals’ and groups’ recollections of the futures they expected in the past. However promising such a concept may be, it has not been clearly defined yet. Working on it implies the intertwining of memory and future studies. More or less explicitly, memories of the future have been the subject of the philosophical, psychological and sociological thought of the last decades: this chapter aims to explore the perspectives this thought may open, stressing the critical function that memory of the futures past may have in individuals’ and groups’ present time.File in questo prodotto:
