The course catalyses discussion of the role of theory and theory-building in futures studies. Specific theories of transformation are taught (e.g. K-waves, evolutionary economics, cultural transformation, and multi-level perspective on socio-technical change) and the role of agency in these theories. In relation to these, the course takes a deeper look into the various theoretical traditions of futures research (e.g. critical futures research, utilitarian dimensions) as well as the lineage of key futures studies concepts. Students encounter recent debates about the development of theoretical bases for futures studies, such as anticipation and futures literacy framework.","valueEn":"The course explores selected societal, socio-technical and cultural transformation theories, and reflects their premises and outcomes about cultural and societal change against the theoretical traditions of futures research.
