The Appendix - Futures Of The Past (vol 2, no 3)

The Appendix was founded in late 2012 as a quarterly journal of experimental and narrative history. Futures of the Past—Volume 2, Number 3—July 2014 “Futures of the Past” is an issue about how past generations have reckoned their collective futures. But it’s also about how the razor’s edge of the present comes up against the haziness of futurity, and what happens when that hazy future becomes inscribed, remembered, and—eventually—forgotten. We’re interested here in the work that the future does in shaping history—as a utopian dream, a set of collective anxieties, or simply as a story that we tell about where we come from and where we hope to end up.
