Designed as both a practical research tool and a theoretical framework, it offers a structured way to abstract language, revealing the forces shaping societal change. Using a mixed-methods approach, Story Systems equips readers with tools for analysing subcultures, identifying patterns in discourse, and applying foresight techniques to predict cultural trajectories. It features real-world case studies, interactive AI exercises, and innovative cultural mapping techniques to help researchers move beyond retrospective analysis and into future-focused inquiry.
Ideal for researchers in cultural studies, marketing, sociology, policy analysis, and business foresight, this book serves as an essential guide for academics, professionals, and students who seek to harness the power of language and narrative in research methods. Whether used in qualitative analysis, strategic forecasting, or interdisciplinary studies, Story Systems provides the critical tools needed to navigate and shape the future of cultural research.
Marie Lena Tupot holds a Master’s in Information Science from the University at Albany and has contributed extensively to cultural pattern analysis, AI applications in research, and foresight methodologies. She has been featured in peer-reviewed design research journals and textbooks, influencing discussions on cultural intelligence and innovation. Tim Stock is an Associate Teaching Professor at Parsons School of Design and a Global Community Professor with the Center for Future Studies at the University of Monterrey (UDEM). He holds an M.A. in Cinema Studies from New York University. His expertise in semiotics, narrative theory, and strategic foresight has shaped design, media, and marketing strategies for Fortune 500 companies. He has led workshops on trend analysis and cultural forecasting worldwide, partnering with organizations such as Meta, KEF Acoustics, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
