Uncertainty and possibility are emerging as both theoretical concepts
and fields of empirical investigation, as scholars and practitioners
seek new creative, hopeful and speculative modes of understanding and
intervening in a world of crisis.This book offers new perspectives on
the central issues of uncertainty and possibility, and identifies new
research methods which take advantage of disruptive and experimental
techniques. Advancing a practical agenda for future making, it reveals
how uncertainty can be engaged as a generative 'technology' for
understanding, researching and intervening in the world. Drawing on key
themes in creative methodologies, such as making, essaying, inhabiting
and attuning, chapters explore contemporary sites of practice. The book
looks at maker spaces and technology design, the imaginaries of
architectural design, the temporalities of built cultural heritage, and
interdisciplinary making and performing. Based on the authors' own
academic work and their applied research with a range of different
organizations, Uncertainty and Possibility outlines new opportunities
for research and intervention. It is essential reading for students,
scholars and practitioners in design anthropology and human-centred
design.
