Abstract
In the literature emerging from the field of anticipation studies there are expressions of that confluence of design and futurological practices which can be caricatured as speculative. Less present is a related encounter with the notion of ‘anticipatory plagiarism’. The chapter locates this paradoxical construct in its pataphysical dimensions to compose a nomadic distribution of concepts from which one concept, productive to thinking anticipation, might be further mobilized: the Deleuzian objectile. In this chapter, the modulatory power of speculative design as a creation of anticipations is demonstrated as an atemporal anticipatory plagiarism of Alfred Jarry’s imaginary present, in which a clinamen is pleated into a compositional plane of architectural fiction and its technographic artefacts.
