La conversion utopique
Miguel Abensour
Français
The main thing about utopia is not to imagine a happy society verging on perfection. The primary role of utopia consists in breaking down what the world takes for granted, lifting the weight of the real or what appears to be real. To escape from the “real”, utopia displaces it, moves it, gets it to fly off the handle... in order to see through the mist of this so-called “reality” and find another path, another way of being.
Lecture by Miguel Abensour (professor of political philosophy at the University of Paris VII, contributor to the journals Textures, Libre and Tumultes, author of several books, including L'Utopie de Thomas More à Walter Benjamin (2000), Rire des lois, du magistrat et des dieux: l'impulsion Saint-Just (2005) and L’Homme est un animal utopique (2010)).
