In Migrant Futures Aimee Bahng traces the cultural production of
futurity by juxtaposing the practices of speculative finance
against those of speculative fiction. While financial speculation
creates a future based on predicting and mitigating risk for
wealthy elites, the wide range of speculative novels, comics,
films, and narratives Bahng examines imagines alternative futures
that envision the multiple possibilities that exist beyond
capital's reach. Whether presenting new spatial futures of the
US-Mexico borderlands or inventing forms of kinship in Singapore in
order to survive in an economy designed for the few, the varied
texts Bahng analyzes illuminate how the futurity of speculative
finance is experienced by those who find themselves mired in it. At
the same time these displaced, undocumented, unbanked, and
disavowed characters imagine alternative visions of the future that
offer ways to bring forth new political economies, social
structures, and subjectivities that exceed the framework of
capitalism.
