Klappentext zu „Palgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology / Writing Future Worlds “
This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of global future scenarios and their impact on a growing, shared culture. Ever since the end of the Cold War, a diverse range of future concepts has emerged in various areas of academia-and even in popular journalism. A number of these key concepts-'the end of history,' 'the clash of civilizations,' 'the coming anarchy,' 'the world is flat,' 'soft power,' 'the post-American century'-suggest what could become characteristic of this new, interconnected world. Ulf Hannerz scrutinizes these ideas, considers their legacy, and suggests further dialogue between authors of the 'American scenario' and commentators elsewhere.

Pressezitat
"This book is a thorough reflection on a rather new and influential genre in scientifically founded literature with real political impact: so-called scenario books. The author of this book is Ulf Hannerz, an internationally renown anthropologist from Sweden. ... Hannerz produced an important book, which give us a window for critical analysis of a vague and often 'covered' genre with scientific presences in the circuits of opinion making, which however penetrates ... in the highest levels of world power."
