What surfaces through the close attention to the making and remaking of particular relations to the future is an understanding of future geographies as made alongside and through a range of other entities: including individual and collective subjects, but also economies and fiscal systems, the geostrategic goals of a nation-state and development plans and practices. To return to our starting point, this means we bracket claims about the future 'as such' or 'in itself and resist the temptation to invoke 'the future' as a way of talking about life's excessiveness. Rather, the result is more modest: an empirical concern for how futures are folded into a dynamic present and a wider claim that any and all geographies are made through this folding and unfolding.
