I15-R230-article-4032023-12-01T14:39:09Z Time and future. Essay on possible practices: escapism, immediate struggles and collective action Tiempo y futuro. Ensayo sobre prácticas posibles: escapismo, luchas inmediatas y acción colectiva Godinho, Paula In a feared and postponed future, of prudent reformism, one does not always look to the past to find company, discover utopias or stimulate the imaginary of non-dystopian future societies. However, through possible practices, human beings continue to shape daily life and the ways of dealing with the time to come. In this text, I intend to reflect on three of those practices to organize life and deal with time: (1) escapism; (2) the daily resistances, in the field of the so-called «immediate struggles»; (3) revolutionary enthusiasm, when the impossible penetrates the horizon of possibilities. These practices are detectable in the great causes, just as they accompany the "humble dreams", the banalities and urgency of the necessary routines. One of them depends on an impossibility, which implies parallel processes, what exists and what can exist, and which invokes the past that is chosen for the desired futures, between the whip of history, the past futures and the worlds to be created. En un futuro temido y aplazado, de reformismo prudente, no siempre se mira al pasado para encontrar compañía, descubrir utopías o estimular el imaginario de sociedades futuras no distópicas. Sin embargo, a través de las prácticas posibles, los seres humanos continúan delineando la vida cotidiana y las formas de lidiar con el tiempo porvenir. En este texto, pretendo reflexionar sobre tres de esas prácticas para organizar la vida y lidiar con el tiempo: (1) el escapismo; (2) las resistencias cotidianas, en el ámbito de las llamadas «luchas inmediatas»; (3) el entusiasmo revolucionario, cuando lo imposible penetra en el horizonte de posibilidades. Esas prácticas son detectables en las grandes causas, así como acompañan los «sueños humildes», las banalidades y urgencia de las rutinas necesarias. Una de ellas depende de una imposibilidad, que implica procesos paralelos, lo que existe y lo que puede existir, y que invoca el pasado que se elige para los futuros deseados, entre el látigo de la historia, los futuros pretéritos y los mundos por crear.

| description |
In a feared and postponed future, of prudent reformism, one does not always look to the past to find company, discover utopias or stimulate the imaginary of non-dystopian future societies. However, through possible practices, human beings continue to shape daily life and the ways of dealing with the time to come. In this text, I intend to reflect on three of those practices to organize life and deal with time: (1) escapism; (2) the daily resistances, in the field of the so-called «immediate struggles»; (3) revolutionary enthusiasm, when the impossible penetrates the horizon of possibilities. These practices are detectable in the great causes, just as they accompany the "humble dreams", the banalities and urgency of the necessary routines. One of them depends on an impossibility, which implies parallel processes, what exists and what can exist, and which invokes the past that is chosen for the desired futures, between the whip of history, the past futures and the worlds to be created. |
