ABSTRACT

Postnormal creativity reformulates the notion of the future entirely. It nurtures anticipatory imaginings, unlocks agency for all things in the universe, and reveals emergent realities. Through this, we learn that postnormal futures are about an inherently ecological awareness that liberates and consoles us, that shepherds us toward an understanding of our truly intimate relationship with nonhuman parts of the biosphere, forcing us to consider the vastness of reality (the real), on time and space scales far beyond our very being.
