Planning (in) the next century? On the futures of planning that are already here
| Summary: | What if the problem with planning was its very relation with normativity and future? In this article, we challenge the idea that “the future that we want” can be designed in the sense that planning has historically done—by imagining a future that should be sought by action in the present. In so doing, we explore the possibility of planning as a strategy to release the futurial, excessive presences that already exist in the present, through Stefano Harney and Fred Moten’s notion of “fugitive planning,” and GiorgioAgamben’s idea of “destituent power.” |
