<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The goal of this special issue is to decenter the discussion on socio-technical futures and the role of popular culture, aesthetics and media in their (re)production</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">.
In the Global North, official policies and cultural engagements with techno-futures are predominantly driven by a small group of libertarian techno-oligarchs who, in spite of reinforcing critical and dystopian counter-discourses, propound celebratory views
of technological progress - of enhancing, or overcoming the human - motivated by their desire to attract venture capital. These futures emerge as increasingly hegemonic, as governments tend to share these celebratory views to further their own interests of
economic and national competitiveness. Nationalist, elitist, and often ethnocentric imaginaries and narratives blur the line between political, economic, and pop-cultural realms and become obstacles to a nuanced and inclusive discourse on the risks and benefits
of future technologies. What is worse, the political surrender to capitalist and competitive growth-lock-ins disregards or even erases a vast imaginary zone of alternative futures.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Focused on the interests of individual nations, these narratives tend to disregard the historical and current economic entanglements between technological developments in the North
and the exploitation of the South. Political and cultural media discourses in the North tend to cast the Global South as war-torn, technologically underdeveloped, and in need of help. At the same time, official national strategies in the Global North as well
as the Global South foreground the use of technology to further development and economic growth. These efforts tend to disregard the economic precarity of local populations and the necropolitical exploitation of the lands of the South. Rarely acknowledged
in official media discourses and dominant cultural references, these connections nevertheless emerge in counter-cultural discourses and artistic productions predominantly from the Global South which imagine their own techno-futures. Preexisting research on
techno-futures and their impact on the societal acceptance, design, and use of technologies has mostly focused on the ‘key players’ of the West (and its antagonism to China), while other parts of the world have been neglected.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Conceptually, Cultural Studies and STS scholarship have long stressed the interplay between the social imagination and the de facto production of scientific facts or socio-technical
authority. Contributions will work from the general premise that technologies are shaped not only by the policies and views of political or economic elites and the allocation of resources but also by various narratives and discourses drawing on popular imaginaries
and cultural frameworks of techno-futures. Technology, and therefore also technological futures, are always socially situated, relational, and enmeshed in (dominant) narratives of societal sense-making, constantly reworked and understood differently by users
and contexts. Narratives, in particular, have not only been understood as reservoirs of sense-making, but also as performative trajectories, causing dominant perceptions, expectations and investments - powerfully transforming future ideas into material being.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">While the intersecting fields of cultural studies and STS have begun to acknowledge voices from the Global South, there is still more work to be done to arrive at a more just and inclusive
picture. Such a global take on tech-futures has taken on a renewed urgency in times of rising geopolitical block formations, growing tensions, and a worrying resparking of nationalist sentiments. In this special issue, we plan to focus on forms of tech-future
societal discourses from a global and popular perspective to counter the dominant Western mode of inquiry and its (de-)construction of tech-futures. Eligible articles should thus tackle (one or more of) the following questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
