dc.description.abstract	Sociotechnical imaginaries play a crucial role in the context of urban air mobility. At the beginning of this article, I present the Pop.Up, commonly described as ‘air taxi’, as one such vision. Taking the analysis of multiple visions as an orientation, I show secondly, how other temporal fgures such as projective genres fulfl diferent functions to establish specifc visions as dominant ones. By examining a press release about the Pop.Up, I show how distant futures are constructed trough explicating the problem of congestion in metropolitan cities. With the analysis of the stage performance by stakeholders from Airbus and Italdesign during the Geneva Motor Show 2017, where the Pop.Up was unveiled for the frst time, I thirdly show that diferent futures fulfll diferent functions. Sociotechnical imaginaries vis ualized by concept videos demonstrate necessity, whereas projective genres communicated on a stage as collabora tive action plans demonstrate feasibility. Stage performances, such as the one at the motor show, where the concept video was shown, ofer a framework to establish specifc sociotechnical visions. This linking between diferent future dimensions can be described as performative discourse strategy to make an artifact, in this case the Pop.Up, commu nicatively connectable to political discourses. The analysis of futures such as sociotechnical imaginaries regarding the question of politicization processes is thus supplemented by a perspective that examines projective genres such as collaborative action plans.	en_GB
