KAP 445
“From the Ashes,” imagines a post-volcanic eruption Martinique to think about what it means to conduct anthropological research at the edge of knowledge. Taking a cue from Afrofuturism, a fictional short story serves as a speculative tool to explore potential futures and the imaginative possibilities that arise from historical and contemporary contexts. This text offers a critique of the anthropological reliance on pastness and the need for new ways of thinking about futurity in the Anthropocene.
