Title: Imaginary Worlds to Be Projected or to Be Criticized? Methodological Considerations
Abstract: This chapter presents reflections from ongoing research on the contribution of popular culture imaginary worlds to the activity of projecting credible visions of the future. Using the example of the foot soldier, richly represented in science fiction works, it explores different levers to exploit this material to generate credible proposals for the future. The chapter focuses on methodological issues while showing how a large body of imaginary worlds can be understood at different scales. It presents the different technologies relating to the superficial aspects deployed in the literature, showing the existence of obvious imbalances in the forms of augmentation. The chapter discusses the nature of the relevant fictional components to be engaged in a design-fiction approach. This approach offers the opportunity to test possible implications of interaction choices, which is very valuable within the design process. Finally, the chapter suggests identification of the criteria that make it possible to appropriate the imaginary world.
