One is to focus on the production of empirical results ("facts") with various research methods. The other is to consider the creation of ideas ("possibilities") around what social reality-in this chapter, the digitalization of education-could be like (see Eskola, 1984; Gergen, 2015; Wright, 2010). In this chapter, we develop the latter approach by arguing that we need utopias and a utopian imagination of the digitalization of education to create alternative and possibly better futures (whatever they may be). We further argue that these futures cannot be known or invented

Instead, it draws from the notion that Marxist historical materialist critique offers among the best analyses needed today in the struggle for an anticapitalist future. Many contemporary cultural studies scholars all too readily dismiss this classical Marxist thought as being unaware of its own Eurocentrist assumptions and viewpoints, not to mention its linkage to an Enlightenment modernity that has long since faded after the so-called demise of industrial society and the advent of what has been called the new digital society. This situation has been particularly acute since 1968, with the withering of the state as the primary site of revolutionary struggle among antagonistic classes.https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/education_books/1079/thumbnail.jp
