Utopian Senses in the Antropoceno: communities and micropolitics of resistance

Abstract

This text analyzes updates of the sense of utopia in the context of the Anthropocene based on reflections on resistance micropolitics proposed by Fe?lix Guattari. The objective is throw light on the differences between contemporary and modern utopias, before the crisis of utopias at the end of the 20th century, characterized by the search for changes in the socioeconomic structural base and in the political system. Utopia is understood as a micropolitics of resistance that creates ways of being in the world, as a desire to produce life and resistance to forms of domination and the capture of subjectivation processes, without projecting the construction of an ideal world, but of follow how new fields emerge, along with the subjects, and the creation of other possible worlds. The notion of heuristic utopia is proposed, capable of affecting the education of desire, enabling social practices that provide experiencing and learning about the possibilities of alternative experiences and sustainable futures.
