    When futuring flops: the case of The Fourth Turning

    It’s important for futurists to examine flawed futuring work and learn from it.  I’ve said this before, reflecting on my own forecasting misfires.  I haven’t offered many criticisms of others’ work, largely for reasons of time.  I’d like to start doing some more of this.

    Why?  There are all kinds of benefits to this kind of analysis.  One involves testing the limits of a given method (Delphi, trends extrapolation, etc.) by seeing what it misses… which then suggests how one can either modify the method or choose to use it in addition to another approach.

    A second benefit concerns blind spots.  For example, in his criminally underrated work on global inequality (cf my notes) Branko Milanovic notes that 1970s futures work focused so heavily on the Cold War’s primary antagonists – the USA and USSR – that they utterly failed to not only predict, but even pay much attention to nati

    Weighing in on Obama Connections between Embodiment, Class, and Masculinity in the United States and Germany

    GRETA OLSON Weighing In on Obama: Connections between Embodiment, Class, and Masculinity in the United States and Germany The myriad ways in which Barack Obama’s physique is interpreted demonstrates the centrality of the body to US American cultural politics. The following investigation of Obama’s corporality pertains to the period from 2007 to 2011. During this time I assume on the basis of photographic evidence that his body remained relatively stable despite the very contradictory interpretations that were made of it. Comments on Obama’s thinness, level of physical fitness, perceived sexual attractiveness, and alleged weight loss were integrated into statements about his relative appropriateness for the office of president and ability to run the country. Thus images and perceptions of Obama’s body impact on political discourse and controversy. The contradictory manners in
