Abstract

The newly established field of possibility studies is set to solve complex theoretical problems created by the future-based setup of the notion of possibility. Irreversible time sets strict limits upon the uses of the concept of possibility and calls for its conceptualization in terms of cultural psychology of dynamic semiosis. Use of signs work in two parallel ways—organizing the present experience and catalyzing future possibilities. Negotiation of the constraint borders for the future is the main function of possibilities discourse. Hence investigation into possibilities requires coordination of intentionality of the actor with imagination about the future.
