In contrast to the temporalities described by Jane Guyer (2007) in her thoughtprovoking discussion of the near future, people in Spey Bay think about and plan for a range of futures, including the near future
Summary
Based on fieldwork with people involved in the environmental movement in Scotland, this article describes the connections they made between the future of reproduction and the future of the environment. People in Spey Bay think of having children less in terms of the inheritance of biogenetic substances and more in terms of ensuring a stable environment in which future generations can lead safe and healthy lives.
