- 요약Telling stories about the future, whether through speculative textual representations, images, or materialization and embodiment practices, is the primary means by which futurists and designers in particular-and humanity in general-learn from the future to take action in the present. However, there is a need for more research on the plot structure form of these stories, known as emplotment. While scenario planning in futures and journey mapping in design are commonly used storytelling techniques, research tends to focus on the content of futures imaginaries and everyday experiences, rather than the narrative structure itself. In my work, I explore the potential of emplotment as a more precise arena for speculative narratives and as a critical reframing of futures storytelling. This is achieved through a literature review, interviews, action research, and pedagogical practice. First, I review existing literature at the intersection of futures, storytelling, and design. Second, I review the literature and fields of study, including historiography, narratology, narrative care, and organizational behavior, where emplotment holds a recognized space, as well as the scant literature in the relevant fields of futures. Third, through two rounds of interviews with futures storytelling practitioners, I clarify what is known and unknown topics in this area. Fourth, I conduct an in-depth exploration of the potential application of emplotment as a lens through which to reframe futures storytelling methods. Fifth, this theoretical work lays the foundation for a course on restorying futures, in which futures storytellers and social innovators explore prospective narratives. Finally, I summarize the insights gained from this work and propose implications, conclusions, and areas of further inquiry into how this research contributes to the disciplines of futures and design in general and Transition Design in particular.I argue that emplotment is a mostly overlooked and undervalued area in the critical and creative construction of narratives about the future. This generative area deserves more attention, particularly in the context of Transition Design as an emerging approach to future making. The heavy emphasis on the content of futures imaginaries and images of the future has contributed to a sense of imaginative stagnation in many discursive academic and practitioner-based spaces. Minimal attention has been paid to the form or the poetic configuration of these stories.An intentional approach to emplotment in futures and design can help individuals and collective stakeholders break free from old and used stories about the future and overcome future fixedness. By focusing on form rather than on content we, as academics and practitioners in the field, can influence the structural underpinnings of our individual and collective imaginative capacities when it comes to the future. This creates conditions for the emergence of more generative stories about the future, challenging tropes, and assumptions at the structural level of the narratives. This deeper intervention in our stories allows us to dream otherwise, in creative and imaginative ways, and craft richer and more aspirational pathways to the future while maintaining plausibility. As a result, we can shift from the dreams of the old world to the dreams of future generations.
