ABSTRACT
This chapter draws conclusions regarding the legacies and memories of resource communities, their connectivity with the navigation of possible futures. We discuss the possibilities and limits of remembering, of restructuring social memory and identity, and sketch the contours of a new perspective on imagining and coordinating alternative futures of resource communities. Reflexivity is a key word, yet is also limited, and increased reflexivity reveals more clearly the dilemma's a community might face. Strategies based on multi-faceted self-analysis are required, moreover strategies which start from the idea that uncertainties, conflicts, dilemmas can be managed, yet not necessarily eliminated. For resource communities, strategies envisioning alternative futures have to face the concentration problems which made imagining alternatives difficult to begin with.
